 COT|NUES 10 GROW

DOUGLAS, Nov. 26.-(Special,l- l-
 The steady growth of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce and Mines continues. This was attested at a directors meeting yesterday afternoon when seven new members were taken iD. The regular routine business was transacted in addition to the election of members and the question of the open meeting and of the farmers in stitute was also taken up.
 Professor Clothiel will be here on Wednesday, December i, and to this date the open meeting was postpon- ed There will be two sessions, both open to all, but the afternoon especi- ally designed for the settlers up the valley who cannot stay for the eve ming session. Professor Clothier has been conducting an experiment farm up the valley, about twelve miles from Douglas, and he will tell of the results achieved and of the agricul- tural possibilities of the valley.
 The evening will be the regular monthly meeting, but all are invited whether members of the chamber or not. Professor Clothier will deliver another lecture at this meeting.
 Both sessions will be held in the Orpheum theatre.

MARKET SHOWS STRONG SIGNS
 IF ADVANCE
CBy Frank J. Graf.)

Today's market was void of any general interest, only that traders have restored confidence in the se- curities, and have forgotten all about the so-called scare of the Standard Oil decision.
 Amalgamated responded quickly to good buying and the prfce soon aa- vanced.
 Boston Consolidated was well sup ported, as we'll as North Butte and Butte Coalition. Superior and Pitts burg is in good favor and at times was well supported, sales being made at 16 7-S.
 Greene Cananea sold at 5-s during the day, but closed at 12 1-2
 In the New York list Reading and Steel were the features, but the list in general was very strong, due to the fact that it has been reported that President Taft has no serious intentions of interfering with ths trusts. Money ruled as high as D per cent. but at times was as low 2-l Z' The list is very firm taking the list as a whole.

FIGHTERS WILL MEET
IN MARATHON RACE

J. Matchmaker George Hancock of !

!. a novel feature in the line of sports :.
j. to be held about the latter part of =
!. May. The Marathon bug has !
\ crawled into the brains of the local !
J. fight colony, and Hancock has de- ::
\ cided to frame up fifteen-mile !
\ Marathon event in which fighters <
X only will be eligible. Owing to the \
!. great amount of tramping they do \
! in preparation for the bouts, the !
X fighters are accustomed to hoofng !
j it, and the event should bring !
!. about a lively contest. Hancock 1
!. has on his list a total of 176 fight \
\ ers, and from this list he will !
\ choose about twenty or twenty \
!. five active youths. The arena at \
i Maud Junction will be used for \
! the race, the reserved seat rail be- \
\ ing removed, and the higher priced \
\ seats at ringside taken out to per- \
X nit of the construction of the \
! track, while the upper tier of seats =
! will remain. The track thus con- !
J. structed will be a fourteen-lap i
! affair, and the arrangement of the !
i pavilion makes it we'll equipped for i
i such race. The affair is unique, i
\ and it is an idea originated by J.
