Just now there is considerable in
terest as to who may referee the JEFF
fries-Johnson match, next July. Ad-
ditional interest is manifested be-
cause of the published statement by
Jack Johnson as to his desire to have
Teddy" Roosevelt, eH-president, as
third man in the ring.
One of three men now known as IA
nous referees will be chosen. These
three are Eddie Smith, Billy Roche
and Jack Welch. Roche mas been
prominently mentioned for the job
He is a capable man and is trusted
by all in the fight game. In his many
years as referee Roche had only one
"holler' against him. That was when
he declared Ketchel victor over Billy
Papke at San Francisco. However
fans at the ringside declare Roche's
decision was the proper one.

cisco fete.
Mr. Burton telephoned in at noon and
the lumber came on the evening train.
Tom could hardly eat his supper, he
was so excited, and was glad it was
vacation time, for he knew he could
not keep his mind on lessons until that
boat was finished.
He fitted up work place under the
cottonwood behind the boarding house
kitchen. The bench he made Of some
old boxes, and it served his purpose
very we'll.
His hands fairly flew as they piled
knife and hammer and saw, and as days
passed the lumber gradually took on
the likeness of boat. Finally 1t was
fnished--kitchen completed. with
berths over the place where the stove
was to stand, living room in the bow
end, with two more berths. and the
mule stable in the center, with storage
places for freight on either side. Not
thing was left out.
He painted it white, and when the
covering coat was dry added green
trimmings and on the bow end lettered
: the name. james Fitz James" Toms
father was Scotchman. and the boy
had been brought up on the Lady OF
the Lake." so he and the hunter king
were old time friends.
The paint soon dried, and he boxed
it for shipping.
Mr.. Arieigh sent 1t by express to the
Burton boy in Los Angeles.
Three days later letter came in the
morning mail. In ii was a small yell
low paper that made the boys eyes
dance. 1t was check for s25. payable
to Tom Griswold.
And that is how ths teamster's helper
got to San Francisco to see the Portola
festival.
Mr.. Burton was so much pleased with
the boat that he has given Tom an
order for a set OF furniture for his
little girl. Tom has started bank
account. for he intends TO go TO a
technical school later on.

Henry S. Bishop

Candidate for reelection as
District Attorney 47th judicial
district of Texas, subject to the
democratic primaries, Saturday
July 23rd, 1910. Has lived in the
Panhandle for seventeen years.
He taught school a number of
years to finish his education,
studied law, graduated in law at
the University of Texas, and
was licensed to practice law
by the Supreme Court of Texas.
He engaged in his profession,
and in 1902 was elected District
Attorney by large majority
over the combined votes of three
popular candidates, and has
been successfully elected each
time since. For nearly all the
first three terms the compensa-
ton was very small, being only
$4,000 salary year and $1,000
for each uncontested or affirmed
felony case and $1,000 for each
habeas corpus case, barely
enough for a living on strict
economy and no profits. In
July 1907 the office was put on
a salary of S2,500.00 The ex-
penses have been great, on ac-
count of being almost contin-
ously away from home at court
for fifty weeks per year in the
Ii and then II counties of the
district until July 1909, when
the number of counties was re-
duced to 4. The work has also
I been hard, especially till the
district was not down last year.
He has devoted himself con-
tinuously, without division of
time or attention, to a fearless
and vigorous and diligent per-
Torrance of his duties, is fami
lar with the peculiar conditions
existing in each county, and his
experience and knowledge of the
requirements of the office quail
fly him for better service to the
people then ever before, and he
is willing to be judged by his
official record as to his qualifca-
tions and fitness for the office.
He believes in a faithful and i'm
partial enforcement of the law
to every person alike. He re-
\ spectfully and earnestly solicits
the support and votes of all the
people.
