AMENDED ACT is
BIG IMPROVEMENT

State Engineer Lewis is in receipt
of the act passed by congress March
Is, 1910, amending the Carey act in
relation to the withdrawal of public
lands by the state for reclamation
and it's provisions will assist the
engineering department much in the
development of the arid lands of the
state as it obviates a difficulty which
the department has had to contend
with in launching its projects under
the Carey act,
The state under the Carey act has
entered into preliminary contracts
for the reclamation of eight different
projects which will mean in the
course of the next few years millions
of dollars to the state and the set
tiers who are availing themselves of
the provisions of the act by settling
on the lands. The main difficulty
encountered in the launching of the
projects was the withdrawal of the
lands from the public domain prior
to their appropriation by settlers un-
der the general land laws of the
United States. But this difficulty
will be obviated by the amended act
as it provides for temporary with
drawals of the land by the state up
on application, and which will be
valid for the period of one year, dur
ing which time the engineering de-
partment can make the detailed sur
veys and comply with the other re-
quirements of the federal law on
the subject.

CANNON TALKS ON
COLLEGE TRAINING
SAYS: ITO A YOUNG MAN A COL
LEGE COURSE IS NOT NECEs.
SARILY FATAL If HE HAS
ANYTHING IN HIM."

New Haven, Conn, May 13.--
Politics is no business" occording
to an interview attributed to Speak
er Cannon, printed in the Yale News
on sale here today.
Cannon is quoted as saying:
ITO a bright young man who has
anything in him, a college course is
not necessarily fatal to success,
That is my view of it.
"The common school system, the
high school course, gives the aver
age individual at least a fair equip
ment for practical success in bust
ness or in the various callings thai
men follow who live by the sweat Of
their faces, That is about all that
the average man would utilize.
There is always a question as to
whether the average student will
survive the spoling effects of a co.,
lege course.
THE human animal on the aver
age, is not worth his salt if he is
incapable of making his own way,
The greater rewards come in busi-
ness, not politics. A good business
man is much better off than a poor
politician. The business man has
better chance for advancement and
better remuneration.

APANESE ARE
BUYING SHIPS
UNITED PRESS LEASED WHEEL

Victoria, B. c., May 13.--Word re-
ceived by Japanese here today that
the Japanese shipping firms are in
creasing their fleets of steamers in
anticipation of the increase in the
customs tariff of $3.50 a ton on the
vessels over ten years of age. The
duty is being imposed in the interest
of Japanese ship builders, but it is
said it will work hardship on
steamship firms, who will find it i'm
possible to purchase steamers at
home, and if they buy abroad will
have to pay the duty.
There are at present very few
steamers for sale in Eastern waters.
On this account it has been necessary
for the owners to look to Europe and
America for their bottoms. Accord

JOHNSON SCRAPES
HURT RING SPORT
Corbett Thinks C0I0red Cham

Jack Johnson whether justly-and am
much inclined to think otherwise-is be-

and either he has struck a streak Of
hard luck or there Is unmerited activity
on the part OF the police. for II seems as
IL persecution and not prosecution was
the ground for his having been In the
hands of the law either in criminal or
civil procedure fifteen times or more in
half that number of months. While
Johnson is making a record, he is not
adding popularity to the ring sport.
And IL Is not this alone, for wherever
you turn since the story of his assault
upon the frail consumptive Pindar In
New York cafe was sent broadcast by
newspaper correspondents over the whole
world, many have taken advantage Of
the opportunity either to blacken his
character or have been led to seriously
doubt his gameness. Whether Johnson
has the bad habit and lack of good sense
to carry or even display a gun, I have
no personal knowledge. Either Is bad
enough.
Riding In the buffet of Pullman on
Orleans I had as an interesting travelling
companion a prominent judge on the
Florida bench. We were discussing the
coming fight between Jeffries and John

ferred to the recent assault of johnson

the real issue. Heretofore 1t was quite
customary when big match was made,
and particularly before championship
battle. for newspapers all over the coun-

Well. I haven't changed my opinion
that Jeffries will enter the ring July 4 IN
good shape. From recent correspondence
| learned that he was doing steady train
ing as far as he was able while on the
road with his big athletic show. and with
the basis of this preliminary work he will
soon settle down to the real preparation,
as his vaudeville contract close Feb
ruary Is.
How well I think Of his physical con-
dition may perhaps be gained from the
fact that, having been selected to assist

From my own steady improvement I
feel certain that JEFF will have no trouble

Actions Rouse Prejudice.
This statement. made by man who
had surprised me by his knowledge of
boxers and who also explained that he
had been considered fairly clever as an
amateur during his college days and
later privately had continued gymnasium
practice and also attended many big
fights only serves to show how widely
Johnson's escapades have been discussed.
My travelling companion further brought
up the argument that any man who made
a profession of boxing should naturally
learn 10 curb his temper while acquiring
a self-confdence which came with Skill in
use OF natures Irresponsible fists. None
but coward. he said. would attack one
physically inferior, while to use a
chair. as was claimed In newspaper &C
counts OF the melee, was only further
evidence or COwardiCe. For this reason
the judge declared that he hoped Jeffries
would win, for the sooner we had a man
with gentiemanly instincts as champion
the better IL would be for the sport.
Now, am not going to say that john
son is a coward. nor am / going to defend
his acts. He needs either a nurse or a
trainer who will spirit him away to a
desert country and there thump the mis-
chief out Of him. / know that his ring
career has shown him to be defensive
rather than an aggressive fighter and
since he defeated Burns he seems to have
been troubled with an enlargement of the
Gran UNI.
But even at that 1t may be possible the
Pindar case was rather exaggerated, and
il was largely Johnson's prominence in
ring matters, and possibly a desire to
make a good newspaper story. that made
this case more prominent than the thou
weeks in saloons of New York and never
deed, to a criminal court.
Without regard TO this Pindar matter
look upon Johnson. even with his ring
in these columns. as an opponent for JEFF
is a good strong fellow with a hard right
hand wallop. and I'm more afraid Of his
wallop than his cleverness. As to his
gameness In the ring. don't think 1t has
ever been seriously tested to that extern,
that 1t will be when he bumps up agains,
Jeff's piledrivers.
