win fights with, but that's just what
helped me whip Tommy Burns and is
going to be one of my chief assets
against Jeff. Here is how my good dis
position whips the ether fellows: 1t
makes me a good ring general. l never
bear any malice toward a man | fight,
and for that reason never lose my head
in ring. No matter how much my
opponent reviles me. just keep turn
ing on that golden smile as they call
it, and remain cool If l didn't have a
good nature I would be sore as quickly
as I was called a name and would lose
my head and my championship along
with it.
When l fought Burns he called me
everything he could think Of He
thought he would get my goat. but Mr..
Johnson's angora was in pretty good
shape when the fight was over
"Jeffries has been trying the same
tactics. but / bear him no malice. and
/ am not going to. I am going to be
just as cool as l was against Burns.
and that's one of the reasons why l
am going to whip Jeff and put him out
of the ring and off the stage"
Johnson will open up his theatrical
work Sunday at the Star and Garter.
where he'll show week. He inspected
his new automobile while in Detroit
and expects to have it in Chicago about
Sunday.
I just know I am going to get into
trouble when l get this car" said Jack,
for it runs seventy-two miles an hour.
l don't see how I am going TO make
it behave all of the time"

SPORTING NOTES
JOHNSON SAYS GOOD NATURE
MADE HIM The CHAMPION

What is the secret Of Jack Johnson's
success in the ring?
That sounds Ike an easy question
doesn't it? But there isn't one ring
fan in twenty who could give the cor
rect answer to il; that is. answer it the
same way that Johnson himself does
The champion On his return from De-
troit yesterday was asked this ques-
ton and he answered it by asking the
same query.
Your extremely clever boxing, was
the first reply he got from the crowd
that surrounded him.
Well. that helps some. I must ad-
nit" said the dusky champion. but
that is not the real reason for my sue
Gees"
Your speed and ability to conserve
your strength In a hard fight, was the
next guess from the crowd.
Johnson shook HIS head again, and
only laughed as he listened to other
guesses. which varied from his slug
giug power to his ability TO take pun
ishment ana finally, wishing to get
away from the bunch for an auto spin.
Jack said:
Now, I'll tip of this big secret, for
it sure is a secret. It's not my hitting
ability. reach. ability to run or any
thing of that sort that has made me
chaynpion. It's something that con
knock a fellow out. but it has kept me
from taking the count on several occa-
si0ns. It's nothing but my good ma
ture.
Good nature is funny thing to

FIRE RACES.

A large marsh fire, which started
last Monday afternoon. about three
miles east of the Pennsylvania station.
is still raging in that district, and it
has spread to such an extent that some
fear is felt that it may destroy sever
al houses.
Chief Feeley of the fire department
went down to the scene early last
evening and an effort will be made to-
day to put out the fire. 1t is thought
to have been started by sparks from an
engine on the Pennsylvania railroad. Up
to this time no damage has been DONE
as the flames are confined to the tall
marsh grass.

fl0UR mil Ton ROUNDUP
Sou.h Oakotan Would Erect RtIIeI
Mills Here Providing He is Given
Proper Inducements.

NJ. D. Harris, prominent busi-
ness man Of st. Lawrence, S. d.,
was in Roundup several days this
week, having come here to look in
to the proposition of establishing a
flour mill here. While Mr.. Harris
realized that shere was not very
much wheat raised here as yet, he
expressed himself as having a great
deal of faith in the country, and
that a large amount Of wheat would
be produced in a few years. He
was very favorably impressed with
things in general and wants to get
into the field first.
Before leaving today. Mr.. Harris
presented his proposition to The
Record for the consideration OF the
people of Roundup. He asks for
a site and a bonus of 81 800, in re-
turn for which he will put in an up
to.date roller mills that will be a
credit to the city and will grind
flour enough to supply the entire
Musselshell valley. Should the
people Of Roundup decide to take
up the proposition he promises to
have the mill established in a year
from now.
Mr.. Harris will return to Round
up the first of the year when he ex-
poets to get the matter lined out
more definitely. He owns Il large
mill at St. Lawrence, his intention
being to move this to Roundup.

BANKS SHOW PROSPERITY
Three and One-quarter Million
Dollars Held BY Fergus
County Banks.

Lewistown Democrat: No better
indication of the splendid era of
prosperity which is now in full
swing in Fergus county can be de-
sired than the showing of the vari-
our banking institutions of the
county. Within the last week state
ments Of every state and national
bank in the county have come
to the desk of the Democrat and
some interesting compilations have
been made.
There are fourteen banks in Fer
gus county. When it is considered
that there was but one ten years
ago and but two five years ago,
some idea of the rapid development
of what we fondly call the Inland
Empire may be derived. Lewis
town leads with three banks, every
one Of them in most furnishing con-
dition. Moore has two and consid-
ering the size and age Of the town
they are wonders. Kendall has one
very strong banking institution.
Philbrook has two, one of which is
a private bank, the statement oi
which we were unable to secure.
There is a new one in Buffalo,
which is backed by some very
strong interests. Stanford claims
one bank but it is growing by leaps
and bounds. Roundup has two ex.
ceptionally strong young banks.
Then there is one at Judith GAP
which, while not in Fergus county,
gets most of its business from this
county.
