BY STUART 3, STONE.

OF all the ardent supporters of
the Hon. Thos. jefferson Potter for
governor, Hick Perryman was the
most ardent.
Potter will be elected governor
of this commonwealth by 10000
majority" asserted Hick, before
the great council on the court
house steps.
"What'll you bet?" demanded
Pete Moseley, an enthusiastic Tay-
lorite.
"Bet-huh, It's too One-sided
to bet on" snapped Hick. Il
tell you what I'll do, Pete Nose
ley. | take solemn oath and VOW
never to shave no cut my beard
or hair until Jeff Potter is govern
or of this proud state"
The campaign went as cam
paigns go. There were monster
parades in which Hick held ban
ners for the PotterItes and Nose
ley wore scarlet sashes across his
breast for the glory of the cause
of Taylor.
On the night Of the election
Hick and Pete nervOuSly watched

the posting of the returns. At
midnight a bulletin was flashed:

Taylor by $4,000"
Hick let out a dismal groan Pete
grinned broadly.
Its good thing you've just
had a fresh shave, Hick Because
you won't have another chance for
four years"
At first it was rather a good
joke. Friends slapped Hick on
the back. asking what he had

BATTLE FOR TOMMY
KELLY TOMORROW NIGHT

According to Physical Director
Cisco Bullivant of the S. A. A. c.,
Tommy Kelly may have even
harder man than Jack McCallum to
go up against tomorrow night. 1t is
said that Jack McClain, a whirl-
wind 125-pounder, won a decision
over McCallum few days ago, ana
has been chosen to represent Van
couver against Spokane.
The Spokane men who witnessed
McCallum in action in the first in
terclub smoker of the season, held
at Vancouver, returned to Spokane
declaring the British Columbia man
the fastest in the northwest
Should it develop that McCallum
has been deposed, Tommy Kelly
will have to extend himself to the
utmost if he wins his second con.
secutiye interclub event.

that he was going after Freddy
Welsh's English title and would
remain abroad year, invading
every country where fighting
thrives, meeting the best he could
induce to fight him.
And then he's coming back to say
something to Oscar Matthew Bat
Ting Nelson. Just like that, Nc
Farland is sure he can beat Mel
son. So sure he's going abroad for
a year to let Nelson add another
year to his age before tackling him.
There aren't many men close to
the fight game who will risk any
thing upon Mcfarland in 20round
battle with Welsh right now, and
as for the stockyard scrapper max
ing a hasbeen out Of Nelson, well,
its best to take that statement with

opened yesterday at Radcliffe col

The room, dedicated to Miss Agnes

the luxurious lounging rooms of a

There is large library of novels

fans may rest assured that no stone
will be left unturned in an effort to
bring Jeffries here
According to San Francisco dis
patches, Jeffries has stated that he
will be in Los Angeles on January
is, which, if true, means that the
northwest will have no opportunity
to witness the big fellow in action.
Jeffries is a great hunter and for
several months has been casting
longing eyes toward the California
hills. He is tired of the theatrical
business, being man who ordinar-
lily shuns the limelight, so things
look gloomy for the thousands of
fans who were awaiting the appear
ance of Jeffries, so that they could
form an opinion on the most fam
Gus pugilistic question of the con
dition.''

THE S. A. A. c. OFFICIALS WOULD INCREASE
AMATEUR CONTESTS TO FOUR ROUNDS

Il am in favor of doing away
with the calling for a fourth round
in these amateur boxing contests"
declared President F. F. Emery of
the s. A. A. c. the other night in
his annual message, and there
seems to be a general feeling that
the calling for the extra and decid-
ing round has outlived its useful
ness and should be relegated to the
background.
However, four rounds to de-
cision, and not three, is what the
local club will probably fight for.
President Emery advocated the
elimination of the plan which
counts three rounds for naught
and decides the contest on the
merits Of the fourth round. He
mentioned three rounds as the linn
it, although he is reported to favor
the four-round go.
Physical Instructor Cisco Built
want is strong for the change to
four rounds, while Boxing Instruct
or Creel favors the elimination of
the extra round, and the addition
of one round to the amateur bouts.
The suggestion of President
Emery relates more particularly to
the p. N. A. meets. and confer
ence will be held with the Vancou-
yer officials Friday night to ascer-
tain the attitude of the Vancouver
ties on this important question. If
Binmore and Paris look with favor
upon the change, the matter will
be placed before the Seattle and
Portland officials with the idea of
introducing the change at the p. N.
A. meet at Vancouver in April.

tests will not be witnessed at the

people! No il[pad, overworked board that can give bat a
fraction Of its time to the work, should have to do this high
priced, expert work.
But even the Carey Act lands make up only a part of the
idaho land interests. There IS almost a million acres Of state
and school land in the forest reserve, and perhaps even more
outside. SOME of this land is worth $500 an acre. Again
the ill-paid, many -dutied board is called upon to Judge as ex-
pert authority on a question that means millions to the state.
And 50 it goes. Everywhere the poorly paid, o~ver-busy board
is called upon to review the actions of clever men who are
paid many times as much; everywhere they are asked to do
the work Of expert investors and statesmen--and to do it in
one-ffth of their time. 1t isn't horse sense.
The legislature should make a start along the line of a bet
ter administration of these big business affairs.
