LIGHTS FOR COAST
OF ALASKA
NAviGATORS ARE URGING PAS
SAGE OF PILES BILL PRO-
ViDlNG SIGNALS.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Navigators OF
Alaskan waters are eXerting their ut
most endeavors in the interest of the
passage of a senate bill which APP
propriates $400, 900 for the establish
ment of lights on the Alaskan coast
which was introduced by Senator
Piles of Washington and reported by
him from the committee of commerce
on the 14th instant The bill places
in the hands of the secretary of
commerce and labor the establishment
of these lights, of which it is intend
ed that there shall be no fewer than
80, and most of them along the inside
passage from the line of British Col
umbia northward.
The number of lights has frequently
been commented upon by navgators.
Under present conditions, it is de-
clared to be impossible to navigate
Wrangle narrows at night, because of
the absence of lights.
If the bin passes it is probable that
acetylene gas burners will be used
for lighting inside passages

ROLLER TO TRY OUT
AS BOXER
SEATTLE MATT ARTIST WILL
MEET DENVER ED MARTIN
NEXT TUESDAY.

on Tuesday night DR.. Roller will
make his debut as boxer when he
meets Denver Ed Martin before an
athletic club in Seattle. The bout
will be of six rounds duration, and is
being pulled off in order to get a
line on Rollers chances among the
heavies
Replying to an effusion contained in
a recent issue of the Seattle Times,
the Portland Telegram has the fol-
lowing relating to Dr. Roller and his
fistic aspirations:
THE Seattle Times does not go
fully into the details of DR.. Roller
taking down his $1,000 forfeit to meet
the winner of the Kaufman Barry
match, and the poor people on the
outside are left to surmise that 1t
was only because the versatile bone
setter was afraid he would get his
precious head beaten off after the
Kaufman Barry mill went 80 rounds.
Doc" has the Seattle fans pretty
well burcoed because he has hired
Denver Ed Martin to let him ham
mer him about for few months, and
they think he Is a near world heater,
probably about as near as he was
to throwing Frank Gotch. The fact
Is, he has not had fight, and Sam
Langford or Stanley ketchell would
probably scare him to death, so what
is the use of talking about meeting
Johnson Roller touts his wrestling
pupil Charlie Franklin, as a coming
heavyweight champion, and wants him
to start in throwing O'Connell. BY
the same token, Roller ought to chal-
lenge Bat Nelson before running any
risk of Kaufman marring those
classical features"

the Derby, 1t was indeed a profitable
deal or Porter and Sir Robert.
Another instance of Porter's shrewd-
ness as horse dealer was in his pur-
chase of the great horse Isonomy for
the bagatele figure. comparatively
speaking, Of 81 800 The real owner
was Fred Gretton.
Isonomy gave no real promise of his
worth as a 2-year-old. his only vic
tory being a nursery stake in the lat
ter part of the season. AS a 3-year-
old he was not seen in public until
the Cambridgeshire, which he won
easily by two lengths and incidentally
earned no less than 100000 In bets
for his owner.
Had he been In the classic races he
would in all probability have cleaned
the board
AS a 4-year-old he won the gold cup
at Ascot and the Goodwood and
Brighton cups and crowned these feats
by literally running away with the
Great Elbor handicap, carrying the
crushing weight of 1856 pounds.
The following year Isonomy proved
himself a better horse than ever, not
only winning the Ascot gold cup
again, but also the Manchester cup,
with the almost impossible burden,
one would think, of 1873 pounds.

DAUGHTERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY MEET

The regular meeting of the Johnson
City Chapter [. ID. &. was held at the
residence of Mrs, Vaughn, on Unaka av-
enue, Tuesday afternoon, March 9th.
The usual literary program was dis
penSed with and all the interest of the
meeting was centered upon the prepa-
ton of a box of good things useful and
otherwise, which the chapter had de-
termined to send to the old soldiers at
the Hermitage, the state home for Con-
federate veterans. AT the conclusion
OF the meeting an elegant ice course
was served by the hostess. The box is
now ready and full and will be sent at
once. Letters to the chapter had indi-
Gated in a measure about what each
one of the old soldiers most desired OF
stood in need of, altogether about one
hundred and fifty articles. These have
all been supplied, to the total amount
of about $50, contributed by the daugh.
tiers and citizens generally of the town,
Very few who were called upon to helT
in the matter failed to respond, and the
chapter takes this opportunity of most
sincerely thanking all who did so.

is due Mrs. w. B. johnson for suggest
ing this movement to the chapter, anC
also for her great activity in assisting
to carry it out.

Roanoke, Va, March 13.-The report
that the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio
railroad intends constructing an extern
sion of their line to Kenova, w. Va, is
denied at the Offices Of the Clinchfeld
Coal Corporation, in this city.
1t is admitted, however, that the uI-
innate plan of the road is to secure
traffic arrangements with other roads
already built for direct route from the
lakes TO Charleston, S. c.
I The road is at present completed
from Dante, Va, to Bostic, N. c.
From Bostic an extension is TO he
constructed TO Spartanburg, and from

AGAINST GOOD ROAD BONDS
The Proposition Was Defeated Sat.
uday by a Majority of
About 1000.

Washington County voted Saturday
on the proposition of issuing $3.50, 900 in
bonds for the improvement of her pub
lie roads, and the vote was oyerwhelm-
ingly against it, resulting about 400 for
and l 400 against the good road idea.
johnson City gave fifty seven major
ity for good roads, while Jonesboro
voted sixty one against. This would
appear to be rather discouraging to the
advocates of good roods in the good old
county of Washington
From this it must not be construed
that the people of the county are against
good roads for they undoubtedly desire
them and are perfectly willing to pay
for them. They don't want any mud
pixies but deire that a 100000 PROPOSE
ton be submitted for macademized
pixies. Another act will be presented
to the Legislature after the recess and in
all probability the people will be asked
to again vote on the proposition. Nc
few people are in favor of the provisions
of the AUDITING property owners act be
extended to include the county.
