For the benefit of many anxious
fans, who are continually compelled
to listen to the remark "Can Jeffries
come back?" let it be said that 1t new
er was proved that Jeffries was gone,
so the anxiety of his coming back
should not hold the center of the
stage. The term come back" can
not be applied to him.
Many sport critics compare Jeffries'
career to some of the ex-champions
that met with defeat and after GER
tain lapse secured a return match
and always met with the second de-
feat. In this way the argument Is
brought about Terry McGovern and
Young Corbett. George Dixon and
among the heavyweights Corbett's
match with Fitzsimmons, his matches
with Jeffries and Bob Fitzsimmons'
two battles with Jeffries.
This is all wrong" said a well
posted sporting authority yesterday.
The same comparison cannot be ap-
piled to this case, for the simple rea-
son that Jeffries never was defeated,
but simply retired for the lack Of
lutte good faith with the public is al
so worthy of mention, and right here
let it be said that at different times
when promoters and managers came
to Jeffries with offers for fights, the
big fellow turned them down and gave
as his reason that it would be nothing
short Of bunk to hand the public such
n fight, and he refused to be a party
of such schemes. All kinds of guar
antees and picture money were offer
ed him to re-enter the ring with one
of them for his opponent He seldom
gave answer to these offers only with
a grunt and unmistakeable scowl.
To a Coffroth, Gleason or a pro-
moter of equal standing he would
only repeat that he was through with
the ring game. And his refusal to
fight Bill Squires with whom he was
offered $4,000 for his end. win, lose
or draw, cannot be said to be insult
ficient.

Little Tot Makes Long Trip.

Trainmen on No. 2 last evening told
of passenger on the train yesterday,
scarcely out of swaddling clothes, and
yet unaccompanied by parent, rela-
tive or friend. This Juvenile traveller
was put aboard the train at Portland
by her mother, with instructions to
the conductor to drop her off at Echo.
The little girl, who gave her name as
Pauline Ella Almstead, her home as
Vancouver, Wash, and her age as 6
years. Immediately ensconced herself
in a seat, and throughout the long
journey was the object of much at
tention from train crew and passen-
gers alike, who were all quite won by
her self possession. She was put off
at Echo, where she was met by her
grandmother. The trainmen are very
gratified to think that the mother had
enough confidence in them to trust
the little girl entirely to them for
disance of ZIG miles.

SUICIDE
AND MEXICO

The census report of $3.50 popula-
tion dn Mexico is the principal topic
of conversation. Many we're foled
in the result which was fully sew
eral hundred less than t1e most pes
simistdc guess of the most optimis-
tic Citizen. However, there seems
but n good reply TO the prcge-blal
WHY?-race suicide.
Some OF the enumerators state
that they found but one or two fam
lilies with as many az eight children
and this number was the maximum.
In most cases the average was three
where ten vars ago II had been 1--WE.
Then again, Census Supervisor
BARNES states that Mexico de-
creased quite a bit hn population
shortly after 1900, and that the in
crease is much larger than Ut shows
upon its face.
All of those living west of Fair
Ground avenue in West Mexico are
not in the city limits and Of enum-
Grated would visably swell the total;
likewise, in Northwest Mexico there
are a number of families that touch
the city limits but are without the
paIe.
II these we're brought into account
we might boast Of owe 5000, but
at best could not touch the many
sanguine estimates made; and these
were based upon the phenomena
building boom in progress for sever
al years and which continues to-day
There are perhaps more adults IN
Mexico than 10 years ago. but many
less children. Again we say. race
suicide is the cause.

They've got the finest drums at Rags
dale's you ever saw in your life and these
drums have the reddest paint and they
make the most noise, and there are so
many Of them that if every boy had one
OF them it would make a line from here
to Jenkintown; of course, the line would
not be solid. 1t isn't talked about much.
1t is generally known in all women's So
clety that there never were such pretty
dolls in the history of the world as thew
have at Ragsdale's; now, if the bows
knew how pretty they were they wouldn't
buy fine engines, hill climbers and drums
any more, but they would just sit down
and play with dolls like the girls. That
is why so little said about it. There is a
whole city of them here, however, and
they have the softest eyes and the long
est hair and the prettiest dresses Tsome
OF them two-piece dresses, tool that ever
were made anywhere at all, and there is
such a lot of boys and girls here every
day that the grown-ups don't seem to
count very much, and there is so much
room for everybody that nobody can get
squeezed too hard, and there is so much
to see that you just have to keep coming
again and again, because there never
were two eyes anywhere that were big
enough to take it all in at one time.
