MCFARLAND Is FAvoRrTE.
Betting Two to One That He VIII De-
feat Hyland Friday Night.

Los Angeles, Jan. 15.-Packey Nc
Farland is now a 2 to 1 favorite with
the coast fans in his coming battle
with Fighting Dick Hyland, which
is to take place here Friday night.
Both Packey and his opponent have
finished their hardest preparatory
work and from now until the fight will
indulge principally in light boxing.
Packey is close enough to the weight
which is to be 1873 pounds at O'Clock
Friday afternoon, to warrant his cut
ting out much of the road work, while
Hyland claims he never was in better
order for him and says he surely will
defeat the pride of the stockyards so
decisiveIy in the ten rounds of the
bout that there will be no question as
to which is the better man. Packey,
on the other hand, says he will set a
pace SO fast that Dick will have no
chance at any part of the mill.
The first real boxing contest to be
staged in New York since the lid was
clamped down last fall is that billed
for. January 81 between Leach Cross
and young Otto. These two light
weights are among the best in the east
just now and they are bitter rivals.
Cross failed to show as he was teuted
in his fight with Packey Mcfarland,
but he has fought a number of good
battles in and about New York, and
the fans believe the match between
him and Otto will be the best card in
the east since Mcfarland fought Muir
phy in Philadelphia.
Champion James J. Corbett says
he will sign a theatrical contract to
tour the country provided mis- success
at san Francisco warrants it.

flow undisturbed. When work was
started to rebuild the dam last fall the
farmers began to organize to prevent
the erection of the structure. At pres
ent the farmers are perfecting an Or
ganization to fight the matter to fin
ish.
The mill owners recognize the value
of flood protection but they assert that
while the dams might cause an overflow
in an ordinary flood, they wouldn't af-
feet thee onditions that prevailed in
1908 and 1908.
TN the flood last summer you couldn't
have told that the dam was there" said
c. B. Hoffman, the owner of the Hoff-
man mill at Enterprise, the largest mill
on the river. 1.-The river was perfectly
level with scarcely a ripple where the
dam was" To illustrate his assertion
he showed pictures taken of the mill
last summer when the flood was at its
height. His argument is substantially
the argument that all millers use.
But the farmers are not going to stop
until the question has been settled. A
year ago a suit was brought in the dis
trict court here to compel the Brown
Electric Light company, which owns the
was alleged that the dam had caused
the water to overflow. The Grant Town
ship Protective association, an organi-
cation of farmers, led the fight, but
Judge o. L. Moore decided against
them. Last summer Judge Moore was
a candidate for denomination at the pri-
maries, but owing to the efforts of the
Republicans, who lived in the Smoky
Hill valley, he was defeated.
The setback in the courts did not
"dampen the ardor'' of the men, who
had seen their crops ruined in success
sive years. Several meetings were held
last fall to talk over the situation and
at last Captain Schlz was invited to in
vestigate the situation at Abilene and
Enterprise
In his report the government officer
wouldn't say that the dams were the
cause of the damage. ''Of course dam
is an obstruction to river" he admit
ted. but then there are other obstruc-
lions, -Snags, sandbars and the winding
of the river are all distractions"
He advocated the formation of a
drainage district and one of the first
acts of the district should be to straight
en- the river, he advised. In many places
he estimated that five miles could be
shortened to one mile by artificial work.
The water would therefore be carried
away five times as quickly. Without an
actual survey Captain Schulz wasn't
prepared to say what part the dams
played.

ATTEIL WHIPS WEEKS.
Featherweight Champion Has
Trouble in Retaining Title.

Goldfield, New, JAN 15.-Abe Attell
easily retained his title to the feather
weight championship of the world by
knocking out Freddie Weeks in the
tenth round last night at the Goldf1eld
Athletic club. Weeks fought gamely,
but never had chance to win. His
blows lacked steam necessary to do
any damage to the champion, who
came out of the battle without a
scratch.
Eddie Graney of San Francisco off,
cfated as a referee and the boys put
up a clean fight in every way.
Both AtfeIl and Weeks were well
within the weight limit of 1872 pounds.
A3ten opened the fighting with a
right swing to the head and ended it
in the tenth round with series OF
vicious swings to Weeks head and
law which staggered Weeks to the
ropes. AtteIl followed him with a
right cross to the jaw. putting him
down and out in one minute after the
tenth round opened Abe then picked
Weeks up and carried him to his
corner.
It was a gruelling match, but the
champion outgeneralled Weeks at
every point and was never in danger-s
He frequently poked his head into
Weeks face and smflingly took blow
after blow without a, vince or a stag
ger In the third round Attell opened
Weeks left eye which bled hard
throughout the rest of the battle and
worried Weeks perez ptibly.

CAUSES 0VERFL0WS.
Farmers Complain of Mill Dams Along
the Smoky River.

Abilene, kan, Jan. 15.-Are the mill
dams in the Smoky Hill river response
BILE for the floods which have been al
most an annual occurrence in the valley
for the last five years? That's the
question that has been agitating both
the mill owners and the property own
ers this winter, though the river is COW
cred with six inches of ice and shows
10 indication of its tremendous power
The farmers, who lost their crops in
1903, 1904 and 1908, insist that the mill
dams are more or less responsible for
the damage. The mill owners are just
as confident that the dams are not in
the least responsible.
At Junction City the Hogan Milling
company's dam was washed out in 1905.
For two years the water was allow to

the towns to remain in the league and
there was nothing that prevented any
of them from leaving. The repre-
sentatives showed their good faith by
depositing SIS each as protection on
the towns.
Protection is paid on Great Bend,
Hutchinson, Newton, Strong City,
Cottonwood Falls, Arkansas City,-Mc-

towns will all have a vote at the
meeting here next Monday. A ma
jority can decide whether new towns
are to be taken in or whether any of
the seven is to be dropped.

Joe McGinnity will not be with the
giants next season. Manager John

pitcher last season, but no other club
was willing to assume the large sal
airy McGinnity received from the New

kept on the pitching staff.
