DON'T DIET FOR FAT.

You have no appetite for cruel have
you? BY the same token, If you scale
i'm excess Of $50 pounds, l know you
have no great liking for gymnasium
stunts. As a rule fat folks are neither
athletic nor ascetic, except under
compulsion, and nowadays they are
not under cempulsion to be either,
no matter how necessary ii Is for
them to reduce. There is a third,
better, and surer way Of getting rid
Of superfluous flesh.
The trouble with both dieting and
exercise Is, first the trouble; second,
the danger (fatty heart); third,
wrinkles; and, fourth, stomach dis

"Eighty-six organizations have been

Of the local organization. While all
the newspapers outside of Portland
roasted it few years ago, none has
enything except words of praise for
this city now. The Commercial club
has sent out S1s tons of literature.
In the same period $4,000 inquiries
were received from persons interest
ed in the acquisition Of Oregon farm
ing lands. ~'~'' --''- - a.:P
ITO carry on more effective work
through our publicity department,
however, We need more money. In
1908 the northwest spent 100000 in
publicity work, Of which Washington
spent S254,OO0 and oregon about
S175,OOO. Seattle spent s45,OOO in
one year, Spokane $4,000 and Ia
come $4,000. We now propose to
spend 100000 in two years. In Sc
attic 400 persons contributed to the
fund, in Spokane 1900 and in Taco
ma 1000. To get it's share Of results
this state must carry on a greater
work"

LYTLE BOOSTED AS
= O'BRIEN'S SUCCESSOR

r,,,er r. Lytle. president of the
Pacific Railway & Navigation com
nanv is being put forward by MS
friends for appointment as successor
to / p. O'Brien as vice president anu
general manager of the HarrlIlah
lines in this territory, says the Port
land Journal. That is provided ol
course that Mr.. O'Brien goes 10 san
Francisco TO succeed f. E. Gavin as
general manager of the California
lines necessitating the filling OF the
oregon vacancy by Mr.. Hartman
There seems to be no doubt that
Mr. O'Brien will do everything IN MS
mower to remain in Portland out IN
case Hartman urges him to go 10
Son Francisco there will be but one
thing to do-to go. This would lea'e
tho uosition of head of the oregon
lines unfulfilled.
Farrell Not Considered.
A report that ]. d. Farrell OF Sc
attle would be considered or the po-
sition is considered foolish. Mr.. Far
relrs place is regarded as oelng pre-
eminentIy where he is now, and where
his influence is most potent Geher-
al Superintendent Buckley, while
competent man in his line, is not apt
to be made general manager, it is
thought.
Mr.. Lytle's friends have seen the
opportunity that lies in the situation
and have kept their wires going ever
since Mr.. O'Brien went south to meet
Hartman. Although Mr.. Lytle him
self can take no action in the matter
| il is understood that he would be will
ling to accept the position if it were
offered him. He is at present iden-
/ titled with Hartman interests-at
least he is building the "Lytle' road
/ from Forest Grove to Tillamook for
Hartman and is being paid for the
work by Hartman. He also built
the Columbia Southern from Biggs to
! Shaniko-a line which was after
ward sold to Hartman. Following
the sale of the Shaniko line, very flat
tering offers were made Mr.. Lytle by
the Hartman interests to remain in
their employ. He resigned his position
as president of that road, however and
started the Tillamook line, which he
later sold to Hartman and which he is
building for Hartman now.
While any speculations as to what
may happen if Mr.. O'Brien resigns his
position here and IS succeeded by
Lytle is premature it is probable
that such an action would mean i'm
j portant changes in the attitude of Har
riman toward new railroad construc-
tion. Mr.. Lytle has been chatting for
some time over the slowness with
which the work on the Pacific Rail-
way & Navigation company's line has
into central Oregon is known to diff
fer very materially from the route
selected by Mr.. O'Brien.
Because of his former connection
with the Columbia Southern, Mr.
Lytle has made a close study Of the
central oregon situation and is known
to personally favor an extension Of
the Biggs-Shaniko line This would
be the cheapest line to construce and
could be completed the soonest Of any
Of the routes suggested.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
TO BOOST OREGON

Portland Ore, March 17.-At a
meeting of the Portland Commercial
club last night the special committee
Of 25 business men recently appoint
ed to map out a plan for raising $780,

expense Of retaining Tom Richardson
as publicity promoter under a new
contract dating from December 81,
1903 is expected to decide definitely
OF the mode Of procedure ODE adj
opted. In arousing the interest Of the
public in the work, in order to assure
generous contributions to the fund,
the committee has decided to make
use Of 100000 in 1912" as a slogan,
meaning that large a population in
three years.
VIII Raise 100000.
The campaign for the $4,000 fund
is to be started next week, and a num-
Der Of committees, working under
direction Of the committee Of 25, will
canvass the city for contributions to
the fund. It is Intended that the
work shall be thorough and that
everybody shall have an opportunity
10 assist in paying Mr.. Richardson's
salary and expenses instead Of a small
number Of people as has been the
case.
Active interest is being taken in
the Embarrassing campaign by DR..
Wetherbee, president Of the CONNER
cial club. He delivered an address
last night before the Portland Retail
Dealers Association, outlining the
work done by the publicity depart
ment Of the club and prophesying

plished II larger amounts are placed

that open play is not dangerous per se
It is dangerous In the present game
because of the momentum attained
by the offense some ten yards distant.
It is a matter that Is self apparent
that two men who meet after Zach has
run but three or four yards do not
come together with such force as two
men who have each had a run OF ten
yards to get up speed.
The same salutary effects may be
attained by other notifications that
might be proposed. But attained they
must be IL the game is to live. More
and more we are finding difficulty in

played only by men who have been

or SO later Fitz tried again, this time
with his left, for he was finisher
with either hand He put all he had
into the last punch, for he knew that
his only hope was to stop the giant
with one punch. for all the ripping and
bleeding was having no effect on Jeff.
and he had not time to blind him.
Over went the famous left and IL mis-
sed the angle OF the jaw, landing
high and smashed just as the right
hand had been smashed There was
poor old Fitz in the ring with a human
grizzly and nothing with which to flght
him but two broken hands.
1t ended in the eighth round. Jefg
came in close and rarnmed a pile
drived left into the pit OF the stomach.
and down went foxy Bob. Al minute
later he was on his feet, tearing off
his gloves, which he tossed high over
his head into the crowd, shouting that
he was done with the ring. Before
he smashed his hands he gave Jim
Jeffries beating which the Big Fell
low will remember all his life.
There isn't money enough in the
world" said Jeffries one day, ito hire
me to go into the ring and take an
other licking like that one. People
got an idea that a fighter doesn't mind
punishment because he keeps on
fighting and doesn't howl out with
pain when he gets hit or his nose
broken. Believe me, DO, IL hurts and
ii hurts like the mischief (That isn't
exactly what he said, but II will do.)
''Fitz gave me more OF beating in
those eight rounds than all the other
men I ever fought In my life, and he
cut my face up SO bad that I wasn't
fit to see for weeks They say I'VE
never been really hurt i'm the ring. II

by all my other fights put together,

Then came the last of JefRries' real
fghts--not much of n fight at that.
Jim Corbett challenged him again and
drew one Of the biggest houses in the
history of the fight game in San Fran |

Of noise about his corrugated roof"
over his stomach. He had developed |
wonderful set Of muscles over his
abdomen, which when contracted re-
sembled nothing so much as a strip of
corrugated iron
In the second round of the fight JEFF
fries slammed one punch into the cor
rngated roof just to see what it was
made of, and after that he allowed |
Corbett to stay eight rounds for the
sake of the people in the house. The 4
-pompadour says henever suffered
such agony in his life as he did from
that one prod in the mid section, but

surely no marvels, but no man on
earth could have finished those worth
les in quicker time; the trio lasted
four rounds. Encouraged, Fitz took
on Gus Rubin, Aug. 10, 1900. and ham
mered Gustavus to sleep in six rounds.
Two weeks later F'itz fought Sharkey
and knocked the tar out of him in
two brisk rounds. The public sat up
and howled that Richard was him
self again. Fitz began to demand a,
return match, and after long stage
wait, the men signed articles.
The men fought in a tent in San
Francisco. The ring was made of
light boards, which had all the give

know this until he returned to his
corner at the end of the first round
Then he turned to his handlers and
said:
