SAYS JEFFRIES
is ALL RIGHT
Eddie Smith, One of the Best Known Boxing
Referees in the Country, Visits Jeffries
Training Camp and Declares the
Big Fellow As Good As in His
Younger Days.

Oakland, CAL, Apr. %. 1.-THE Jeffries
of today is just the same fellow that
whipped Fitzsimmons and ,Corbett, -
says Eddie Smith, the weN-known ref
cree. ''True, he looks little avicr
and slightly older, but | believe he is
just as good as he ever was. Jeffries
never did show up we'll in training.
When arrived at his training camp he
had just finished a long run and appear.
ed as fresh as if he had just come from
his bed.
"Jeffries always was a sphinx, and
this has led many to believe that he
harbors a crouch. This is not true,
but is due entirely to his dislike of no.
toriety.
''In his best days Jeffries looked hag-
gard and worn about the face when in
his training camp. and his pictures
made him look all the worse through
the fact that he squints his eyes and
wrinkles his forehead when standing in
the light, which the picture men like
when taking snapshots. l believe he
will be as good as ever when he meets
Johnson.

manufacturer of shoes and my plant
was destroyed several times by the Rus

workingmen were charged with being

Mr.. Kalinsky was born in Kief, but
went to Moscow as boy, and was little
more than 18 years old when Napoleon
went to the ancient capital Of Russia.
When the city was burned, he assisted
in lighting the fire by the aid of a torch.
He stated that he remembers Napoleon's
retreat distinctly. Shortly afterwards
he was driven out of business by the
authorities, and came to this country
about so years, ago, since which time
he has lived in Baltimore. Mrs. Kalin-
sky is the sixth wife of the aged man.

IA children, of whom there are now
but three living, but he has 20 grand
children, 20 great-grand children. five

It appears that the Kalinsky family
is famous for longevity. Several of
his brothers and sisters are past their
ninetieth milestone, and only three years
ago his brother Joseph who lived in
Kief, Russia, died at the age of lis
years.

LUMBER VAL. .UES ...
ON INCREASE
The Past Month Has Seen Rapid Rise in
! Price of Timber Throughout the Coast
Timber Country and Further S
Advance Can be Look
ed For.

The latest market reports from the
Pacific coast show that merchantable
logs have advanced in value from 81 to
81 1000 feet during the past month,
according to A. B. Hall Of the Timber
Investment Company.
This advance was particularly notice
able in the prices of fir logs, fir being
now recognized as the most desirable
of the Pacific coast forest products, it
being the noblest tree of Vancouver is
lard and for that matter, of the whole
northwest. 1t grows very rapidly, to a
great height, often attaining 300 feet.
Many of the trees are six and seven
feet in diameter and from 180 to 225
feet to the first limb. The stem of the
fir tree is singularly straight; the bark
very thick and its foliage confined to
the extreme heights. 1t is very fre-
quently the case that four 40-ft logs are
cut from a single clear trunk of the fir
grown in the Rupert district on Van
couversIsland. The wood from this tree
is heavy, durable, straight-grained and
very tough, making it a wood of great
value for heavy construction. Fir en-
dures long in the ground and is being
used very largely for bridge timbers,
cross ties, and the inner construction of
mines. The fir is a versatile wood for
it is popular for. finishing houses and
when polished, compares in finish and
beauty, with mahogany and oak.
Figures show that the present prices
of fir logs range from 81 to $27 1000
feet, depending upon the size and quail
ity, the average price being SIG. 40
1000. Mr.. Hallst that the Timber
Investment Company owns 1,500, ,O00,-
600 feet Of exceptionally valuable tim
ber on Vancouver Island, 600, 900, 900
feet being fir. Taking the average
price of SIG. 40 a 1000 feet, as basis
for estimate, the fir logs alone, on the
property of this company are worth at
least So, $40, 900. In addition to the fir,
the Timber Investment Company also
owns, onNthe same tract, $50, 1000, 900
tfeetsof cedar, 900, 900; 600 feet of spruce
and $50, 900, 900 feet of hemlock and
other varieties, all of these woods being
valuable now and increasing in value
very rapidly.

PRICES OF FOOD
TAKE A TUMBLE
Prospects of BountifuI Crops Cause Mark
ed Declines in Many of the Commod-
tiles, Including Grains and Vege-
tables Reaction Has
Set In.

A New York press special of the 22d
inst says: The present sensational
drop in the price of potatoes may mean
cheaper food of all kinds. Farmers
are closing out their supply of old pota-
toes for as little as 20 cents bushel,
which is the lowest price in many years.
Other foods are also cheaper. AS re-
suit of it's Investigations, the American
Agricuturist of same date said:
IA marked decline has occurred in
the prices of certain food products. If
this declinecontinues much longer the
commissions that are Investigating high
prices will find themselves out of a Job
compared to the high point in wheat
last year, the present market at Chica-
go shows decline of II cents busheI
The decline in corn from the high point
of last year is; 19 cts and oats 20 cts: In
other words, t he present wholesale
price Of oats, is per cent. below the
highest prices of last year, corn is off
"a per cent, and wheat IA per cent.
These declines in grain are reflected
in millfeeds. Wheat bran is now selling
in the West at SIS to $6 a ton less than
previous highest quotations, a decline
of III perH;qent, while middlings have
declined at New York points about So
a ton, or IL per cent. Even cottonseed
meal is, ,of. So to 81, or to 10 per cent.
Cotton itself is fraction of cent a
pound less than in JANUARY, showing
decline of about per cent.
Potatoes have not been so low in
years, wholesale prices at present be-
ing at 40 to so per cent lower than in
November last. Vast numbers of far
mers held on to their potatoes until the
late winter or spring markets, and are
now glad to get rid of their stock at
Is cents bushel, whereas a year ago
they were whoIesaling at Chicago at 81
q bushel at this time.
Butter has declined 6per cent. Eggs
have gone off as usual III the spring.
Even beef cattle have no more than
held the high quotations of March and
hogs are a trifle off, although still very
high, and prices of sheep and lambs
we'll maintained. There has been a
break in the price of hay at country
points n the West; beans are also
cheaper.
"Altogether, indications multiply that
a reaction in food prices has taken
place." tn e American Agriculturist
says. with good crops in 1910 we
may expect the price of food to con-
sumers to be considerably lower than
in the past IL or 18 months, although
we do not look for return to the phe-
nomenally low prices of 10 and 20 years
ago."

Baltimore American. April 2l)

-
The oldest man in the United States,
and probably the Oldest man in the
world, said yesterday that he has a
faint recollection Of Halley's omet
which flashed across the heavens way
back in 1885. Few persons on this ter
restial globe in the present age live to
see the comet once, but Mr.. Abraham
Lewis Kalinsky, who recently passed
his one hundred and sixteenth birthday,
will probably enjoy the rare and won
derful distinction of seeing the scientific
phenomena twice. It may be of inter-
est TO note that on the first occasion
Mr.. Kalinsky was Al years old. U
When seen by representative of The
American in his little room in the rear
Of LOG Albermarle street, the aged man
who is still splendidly preserved, was
seated on a chair, and as he saw the
newcomer, he gracefully waved him to
a chair. Mr.. Kalinsky's eyes lighted
up with interest when he was asked
whether he could recall the phenomena
of Is years ago.
ut was on Sabbath Day that the
bright star was first seen, = the old man
began in Yiddish. 'tWe were in the
synagogue and:as looked through the
window, Isbeheld bright ball Of fire.
In few minutes we were on the street
looking skyward with deep and benign
reverence. Someone shouted that God
was not satisfied with the conduct of
the inhabitants of this mundane globe
and would destroy all. We ran to the
synagogue" A t this juncture Mr..
Kalinsky ceased talking and fora long
time sat in deep thought. Mrs. Kalin-
sky, who by the way is only SO years,
approached his chair and paIted him on
the shoulder. Near Roddyshalmi, the
village in which / lived, there had been
slight earthquakes, Continued Mr..

Il The northwest has the largest pre-
