success. At the meeting of the

we will net $1,000 over our ex-
penses," stated Mr. Rice today. This
result is beyond our widest dreams.
We did not hope to more than break

Everett. Wash, Dec. 3.-AbOut 60
machinistS in the Great Northern
shops were laid off yesterday for
the reason, as stated by the COM
pany, that through the floods and
strike, there was nothing for them
to do. The machinists yesterday
held a meeting and while they would
give out no statement last evening
it was stated by some of the men
that they thought the company had
taken the opportunity to discipline
the men a little for their evident
sympathy with the striking switch
men. The machinists will hold a
conference again today, and it was
intimated last evening that instruc-
tions were expected by that time
from the head officials of their Or

MAY FIGHT N STATE

SALT LAKE CAN RAISE THE
MONEY AND IT is THOUGHT
STATE AUTHORITIES MAY RE-
LENT,

New York, Dec. 3.-The battle be-
tween Jeffries and Johnson may be
held at Salt Lake City. Tex Rickard
has received two kilograms from Salt
Lake which he says requested him to
disregard quoted statements of the
governor Of Utah and the district at
torney at Salt Lake that they will not
permit the fight in that state. Rick
ard claims he is assured the fight can
be held in Utah, in which case it will
be held in Salt Lake City.
Local people interested in obtain
ing the Jeffries-J Johnson mill for Salt
Lake are confident they can satisfy
all requirements of the successful bid
ders from finacial standpoint and
also that there will be no interference
from state or city authorities. The
law Of Utah covering prize fights is
virtually the same as the California
law. Governor Spry is looking up the
law.

Cost the World $22.5O.

An error in the Daily World cost
this paper $3.50, and it might have
been a great deal more had the sup
ply of walnuts at the Ellis-Forde store
held out. A local advertisement of
two weeks ago today read 3 lbs of
walnuts for 25 cents. The ad should
have read lbs for SO cents. That
the advertising in the Daily World is
read carefully by the 5000 subscrib-
ers is evident from the fact that a
steady line of customers for the wall
nuts commenced to buy early in the
morning and kept up until the supply
was exhausted. A difference in the
price advertised and the price as
given out by the Ellis-Forde company
had to be made up by the Daily
World and 1t cost this Office $3.50
for the mistake.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 3.-The big
smelter of the Boston & Montana has
closed down and has thrown 1000
men out of work as result OF the
switchmen's strike
The mines OF the company have
also closed down. The shutdown
was caused by the inability to Sc
cure ore shipments from Butte.
The East Helena plant of the
American Smelling company has
enough ore to keep in operation for
about a month. 1t is announced
that the Northern Pacific will make
an attempt to move freight tomor-
row, although the entire switching
force is out except the foreman. A
coal shortage is feared.
