With Dolly Gray in the box there
IS hope for this afternoon. When the
Detroit Tigers are not hitting they look
just as foolish as the washington team
has done the greater part of this sea-
son, and when Gray went against the
Tigers in their own bailiwick they We're
helpless before him. Considering that
they are already visibly subdued by the
two wallopings they received on Friday
and Saturday and thai the Nationals
are equally elated and chesty, we would
scarcely be surprised If Washington
made It three straight. and thereby
broke its record for this season, as far

London is being brought up to date
by crafty boxing promoters, who have
wept sorely at the neglected opportuni-
ties there. The few big boxing clubs
were offering such small purses except
for very big bouts that popular interest
in any but championship matches did
not grow apace. the diminutive sums
announced indicating that a great deal
was not thought of the contenders. This
condition appealed TO some sure-thing
workers as an excellent opening for
themselves, wherefore they began to
advertise matches between more or less
dubbish individuals for the large wads
that are always alleged TO be paid in
the United States. For awhile it went
on swimmiagly. but just as the tricks
tiers were beginning to congratulate
themselves they billed show for which
the attendance vas so meager that one
of the boxers rffused to go on. Asked
What difference it made TO him whether
the crowd was large or small just so
he got the coin, ne blew the game by
saying he was not lighting for purse
al ALL bat for percentage. 1t was a
cruel blow TO the Britlshers, and the
con is of, for il further developed that
the pugs who were supposed to battle
for s2.090. or some such comfortable
sum, had up all of S25 each as q forfeit.

CHlOROFORMEO
THIS BILL
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 26.-The bill
passed by the senate. which would
disqualify legislators who made
any prediction pledges has been
sent to the house judiciary COM
mittee with the understanding that
It, be chloroformed there. The
measure was a little too raw for
the majority in the house. although
those who spoke in its favor ex-
hausted their oratory. One would
think from the stand taken by
some that they were compelled
much against their will to become
members of the legislature, and
that anything that caused any in
convenience to them was in the
nature of heaping on impositions.
The bill carried a clearly uncon-
stitutional provision disbarring
from the legislature any person
holding a retainer from corpora
ton. The trainers of the bill knew
that this would not hold for Sec
ond in the court. and intended 1t
to be a sort of a sugar coating to
induce some members to swallow
the whole thing. The opposition
to the bill grew so warm in the
house that it was agreed that it
should go to the judiciary commit,
tee and stay there, and barring bad
faith the bill is dead one.

An Open Letter to the
People Of Spokane
From the Electro
Dentists

The Electro Dentists never need
to appeal to the public for support
on hot air methods and promises
that are ambiguous. We have been
established in this city for a long
time. We have placed our proposr-
ton before the people of Spokane
as openly as possible, We tell
them now. as we have told in past
times, that what we promise we
perform. When we say that We
have the most expert staff of assist
ants in the state We do not overratt.
ourselves. We are not school boys
who had their first taste of business
life and who naturally think that
the whole world is going to fan
down and give them obeisance.
In our advertising we don't tell
you that WE ARE THE ONLY
PEOPLE WHO CAN DO THINGS
we cannot do that for there are
always others who can do the same
things, nor do we tell you that W.
charge less than others do. Some
people would give away their work
for the sake of saying certain par
ty was their client but we do tell
you that when quality of work is
considered, we charge as little as
any and less than most. Certainly
less than the man who to gain ex-
perience is experimenting on pa
tients.
One Thing We Dove guaran-
tee every piece of work we do. We
pronounce it perfect, and if We do
not satisfy you, we don't want to
be paid.
The Office of the Electro Dentists
is the most modern in the city. 1t
has taken years of study and prae-
tice to bring us to the point where
we are now. Age brings wisdom
and we have learned wisdom as the
years have gone by. Youth is al
ways foolish, it's prone to make
mistakes and because of youthful
ness. we feel sure that the public
will pardon the mistakes and pat
roniZe reliable. reputable dentists,
whether it be the Electro Dentists
or some of our friends in town.
Our Office address is SIS River

east of Hills shoe store.

DOUBLE HEADER BALL GAME.
Between Two Clifton and Morenci Teams

On next Sunday afternoon the fans of Clifton will have the pleasure of seeing two ball games on the local diamond, which promise to be inter esting in every particular. The first game is called at o'clock and will be between the Harry Wrights and A. c. Morenci team. They are evenly matched and the contest will be in- teresting. At 3 o'clock the first teams of Clifton and Morenci will cross bats and as usual there will be something doing. Morenci will have her usual lineup, while Clifton will have one or two new faces to in- troduce. To say the least will be a fight to the finish and as the locals have been on the short end of the score the last two games they will struggle for redemption Sunday. The usual admission, 50 cents for gentle men and 25 cents for ladies, will be charged, one admission entitling spectators to see both games. The batteries have not been announced.

The Shannon Copper company has installed a small pamp in its new we'll up the Frisco river and is now sinking the we'll at a. rapid rate. It is understood that >Itwill not require many weeks to complete the well and the entire line should be finished within the next two months. Two carloads of six-inch pipe have ar rived and more is to follow. The pumping machinery has also arrived and was this week taken to the pump station, where it will be installed inn mediately. With the exception of a few days delay the company has been making gool headway.

Death of Lee COsper.

We regret to record the death of Robert Lee Cosper, at the early age of 15 years. The sad event took place at the home of his parents, MT. and Mrs. J. E. Cosper, on Sunday after noon at 2 o'clock. His ailment was inhammatory rheumatism and acute tonsilitis. Being the youngest mem- Der of the family, his early demise causes the sharpest bangs of grief.
 The funeral service was conducted Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian church in Duncan by Rev. J. Craig Watt. A very large number of peo- pie turned out to pay their last tribute of respect, the funeral process sion being one of the largest ever seen in this community.
 The sympathy of the whole neigh borhood goes out to the bereaved family in their affiction.-Duncan Arizona

The Ball Team Entertained.

The members of the local base bal team and their friends were royalty entertained with a "Dutch Lunch last Thursday evening at the home ot Wm. Marshall in South Clifton.
 An excellent musical entertainment occupied the early part of the even ing, in which William O'Brieu acted as accompaniest, ably assisted by Signor Eddie Abrahams. Messers Harmon and Wilson rendered several selections on the mandolin and guitar that were roundly encored while B. R. Lanneau and "Swede" Larson added to the evenings enjoyment with violin solos.
 The Hills Flat Double Quartette was in evidence in which "Dauber'' Mason was the shining light at second bass, though he was later switched to short stop by popular vote. Several specialties were introduced by the local Minstrel Troupe, Messrs Scanlan and Caul being the features.
 A generous lunch was provided, i'm cluding the best to be had from the various local delicatessen establish ments, and some connections that re- main as yet unidentified.
 Under the able direction of P. Riley and his untiring corps of assistants the entertainment went through with out a hitch, and was voted by every body present as pronounced success from start to finish.

HiIdreth to Manage the DamrOn
 Transfer.

Though it had not been publicly an. nounced, J. A. Hildreth has owned a half interest in the Damron transfer for some time, or ever since w. w. Damron, the former owner, was af- hicted with sickness. Alb. has been looking after and managing the busi- ness for some time and it is under stood that he will continue the busi- ness since MT. Damron's death. So far as is known Mrs. Damren will retain her one-half interest in the business, the only change in the firm being the name of J. A. Hildreth as manager. Alb. is good hustler and, of course, will continue to conduct the stable un the same principles as in the past.

Shannon Railroad to be Finished Ahead
 of Time.

Judging from the way the new Shannon-Arizona railroad is progress ing Antonelle & Cotey, the contract ors, will, beyond any doubt, finish the grading of the road far ahead of the time called for in the contract. 1000 men are now engaged in the work and the pay roll for July, which will be on the 18th of this month, will be more than double the amount paid out last pay day. Day and night shifts are being worked on the major ity of the road and work generally is progressing without hitch. A special effort is being made to get the first part of the road from the shelter in readiness for the cars, which will make it more convenient for the transportation of material and supplies.
 The tunnel and rock work is also advancing rapidly and it is estimated that fully one-half of the work is all ready finished. However, the finish ing touches on the road will require some time. The force is proba bly, larger right now than it will be at any time during the construction of of the road, as some of the sub con- tractors are beginning to finish their work. If the contractors finish the road ahead of time they will receive a bonus of so much for each day.
 One of the main reasons why the Shannon desires to finish the road as soon as possible is the fact that the road will be exempt from taxes for ten years if trains are running by the first of next March. The bridge work will be the last to be finished, but there is absolutely no doubt of the road being in opel ation in time to get the benefit of the tax exemp- finn
