latter, unit la month or so ago, was
the pool champion. but he ran against
Jerome Keogh in this city and Jerome
carried home the bacon. Then Calvin
Demarest was the 1872 billiard cham
pion for just little while. He won his
title in a tournament here. but did not
have it very long, as Harry Cline came
along and landed the title. Then Will

pionship from George Sutton, and that
is about the only title we know of that

changes in many other branches of the
sport before the year ends, and it's safe

morning, Jeffres and a local trout

San Lorenzo river to seek the poo.s

They were successful, bringing into
camp string of 70 fish.

complained of a stiffness in his arms
and shoulders, but after the hand
ball was brought out and he had work
ed at that this usual breakneck pace
for an hour or two he said that he
felt all right.
The first boxing now is scheduled
for Sunday, but it depends upon
whether the gymnasium is ready by
that time.
Berger left the camp for San Fran
cisco today. Just before he took the
train he telegraphed good offer to
Joe .Choynski to come to the coast
at once and join Jeffries' camp as
sparring partner. Choynski was re-
uuested to reply at once so that other
arrangements could be made if he did
not not want to come.
Berger is dickering with moving pic
ture men on the proposition of taking
Jeffries in the various stunts around
the camp, with an idea OF paying the
training expenses.

BAR SPECUI.A TORS
ON NEW PROJECT

Engineers have begun the prelimi-
Irrigation project, Crook county,
which was recently taken over by the
company. Representatives of the
company have started work clearing
out the bitches through which there
will be a demand for water this year
About two-thirds of the reservoir
to be used for storage purposes has
been purchased. and the remaining
portion will soon be asquirred. AL
though the company has five months
under which, according to the State
Land Boards agreement, it can per-
feet preliminaries. all work is being
commenced now on a permanent basis,
and the money expenditures are the
best proof that the company intends
to take over the whole work under the
terms of the state agreement.
To keep the claim alive against the
old company, so as to insure REIN
bursement under any final adjustment
made. suit has been brought by one
of the early contract holders. This
has no bearing on present operations
If the new company takes the who'e
project over, as it's present work indi-

,Biiou Theatre.

The musical comedy has seemingly
become very popular in Walla Walla
which was indicated yesterday by the
capacity houses at the Bijou Grand
theatre. The Offering I'm Gay New
York afforded J. Y. Lewis and his
company opportunity to produce sew
eral catchy songs and choruses. 1t is
by far the best offering of this COM
pany at the local play house, the
production being mixture Of comic
opera and musical comedy.
J. Y. Lewis and Dick Austin as the
two sports are in action all the time
and guarantee a laugh every minute
they are before the, audience. Herber!

to be speculative no dings. In the
new work, every step is to be kept
on a strict business basis by the COM

Land Board. Bona fide settlers will
be encouraged but no speculative

all who have paid and not received

company hopes to make this one of
the most successful reclamation works
of the state.

o SAN FRANCISCO, April 9-The
foregoing cablegram, received by the
writer from Tommy Burns, explains
the offer made to Burns by the local
promoter, Sid Hester, in connection
with a fight with Sam Langford in
this neighborhoOd on September ).
Burns evidently thinks well of the
scheme and is eager to close the deal
without delap. The promoter, it is to
be presumed. is just as anxious to
cinch the match. Otherwise he would
not have placed himself in commune
cation with Burns, who is at the other
end of the world and would not have
made such a handsome offer.
1t is said that match well made is
a match half won. and on the same plea
match half made is no match at all.
Manager Woodman. who directs the
fistic fortunes of Dusky Sam Langford,
sends word from Los Angeles that he
has not been approached yet on the
subject of a Burns Langford fight and
