Decide to Call
Off
Fight

All fight negotiations have been
called off an das a result, Stanley
ketchel and Sam Langford will not
appear here on Labor day, nor will
they have the pleasure of spending
$4,000, which the citizens of the
district We're anxious to give to them
for the privilege of seeing them in
action for a few hours.
Now that the fight is off, it will be
up to Sam Langford to explain how
that New York telegram, wherein he
agreed to accept the original offer,
came to be sent. Several wires were
sent by Tex Hall, while in San Fran
cisco, by Woodman, who accepted the
conditions on which the articles of
agreement were based and signed and
his subsequent actions place him in
an awkward position, if such a thing
be possible. If the dusky for a NOM
ent thought he could make the local
promoters come through with more
money, he evidently knows by this
time that he made a big mistake.
There is no question but what Lang
ford is not at all anxious for any of
Ketchel's game and any talk which
he may put up in the future to the
effect that he wants to meet the
Michigan Assassin" will be greatly
discounted by the sporting public.
That Mr.. Hall and his associates
have done with Bigger Sam" and
his manager, there is nc doubt and
| should he try to reopen negotiations
with the local promoters, 1t Is rea-
sonable to suppose that he will have
the pleasure of preparing the mes
sages and in turn, getting a reply,
which will not be to his liking and
which will be sent collect.

NEVADA WILL FORGE AHEAD.

-
An era of great prosperity in Ne.
vada is at hand. Every day new
signs appear and the business atmos-
phere of the entire State is one OF
confidence in the near future. All
that may be. should be done by every
one to hasten the time and insure its
fullness and continuance, says the
Nevada State Journal.
Today everywhere in the State
mining is looking up. Activity there
is; not the activity of noise; but
real earnest work to produce some
thing actual and instrinsic. The
mines of Nevada rank with the
mines of any other State. Big in
vestments and small investments are
here already, and every day more
capital is coming in. 1t is not brass
band" capital, to be sure, but cap
ital that is being con%servatively ex-
pended under the guidance of expe-
rienced meny-men who measure
success by the results obtained rather
than loud talk and stock sales.
And mining is not the only field
in which we find things doing. We
only need the impetus of being made
a railroad terminal point and the
State will experience a business and
commercial activity such as we in the
fondest days of our hopes never
thought of.
Sheep and cattle in vast herds
range over hills and vale. Agricul-
lure is on the increase; farming on
both a large and small scale has been
shown to be a profitable occupation.
Our eyes are opening to the great
wealth of our state and the oppor-
tunities of the day. Everywhere, on
all sides one hears the eager Ne
vadan loud in his enthusiastic praise
of the %wonderous of our
commonwealth.
The outside world, also, is reach
ing out toward us. A little en-
couragement from within the State
and outside men and capital VIII
pour into Nevada. Hold out the |
States hand of hope and protection |
to those who are only waiting for !,
assurances of fair and equitable
treatment, and the hills of Nevada
will pour in untold millions their
wealth of gold and silver, the lands
of the valleys will bloom and blossom
and bring forth harvests of riches,
herds of sheep and cattle will roam
our ranges, and Nevada will forge
ahead and take her rightful place
in the fore rank of the great States
of the Union. Nevada is the land
of plenty.
