Los ANGELES. Cal. July s.--sporting
men are skeptical regarding the report that
former Champion James J. Jeffries might
challenge johnson for a return match. Since
his return to Los Angeles, Jeffries has had
little 10 say OF his plans. except that he
would retire to his alfalfa farm and shut
himself in against the world for time.
He expressed the belief that without the
nervous strain OF the battle Of the century
he would make a much better showing
against the champion in a return match
and this probably gave rise TO the report
that he would seek a match.
Jeffries has little intention OF returning
70 the ring Some OF his friends, however,
are already starting a cIamor for another
fight with johnson and Manager Berger in
Inmates today that he might have an inn
portant statement TO make on the subject

Following is a Prosser effusion, as
will be readily comprehended. Ben

at the recent state fair here, but could
not win in its class because of strong
er. but not classier competition. The
Herald, during the fair, had one or
two nice things to say regarding the
Benton features and adds to it the
Benton "hurrah," as follows
"Oh, we'll, we can turn up our noses

that we are with you first, last and all

An organization of this kind, to
he a success, must be organized for
business and carried on in a business
way. 1t must not depend on senti-
mentality for its support, but must
be able to show growers that it will
pay them, from business standpoint
to join. Then its members will be
business men.
There is no question in my mind
that it is feasible and I believe that
men can be found VINO will make it

give it the prestige among orchard

GAUDY
WITH WAR COl0RS
Paint and Feathers, Battle Clubs
and Tom-Toms Enliven Lower
Valley Town.

TOPPENISH, Wash, Oct S.-Seen
in their war paint and feathers. with
their natives pipes and tomahawks
as they gather about the tepees or
watch the Indian ponies race, the In
dians at the annual Indian conven-
ton and fair in Toppenish are an
attraction, bringing 'throngs to this
city.
Once each year the citizens Of
central Washington witness the gath
er.ng in which the red men conduct
q fair according 10 their own notions
and under their own management.
Excepting that there IS race
track and grandstand and that ad
mission IS charged, there is little SIM
jarity between the ordinary fair and
the red mems event
Even the races are different. ex-
cepring that this year q few horses
from regular tracks are competing
among themselves, with white jock.
eys
The most notable race each day is
the "whipper-in." in which two en-
tries are made and a dozen men
participate. Besides the urging Of
the riders. the hackers OF the animals
line the track and last their favorite
ponies. In the stretch pistol shots
are frequently used TO excite the
horses.
Each day the chiefs and head men
gather. don their war clothes and
feathers and parade the streets
Chief OF these is Chief Wesley, head
chief Of the Yakimas. George Mini
mock. president OF the fair, always
heads the parade, followed, usually
n a distance, by the band.
The night events, with the war
dances and the games are given more
attention by the tribesmen and theiI
sQuaws. For hours the Indians dance
n. with blanket spread before them,
play strange games with cards.
