thousand soldiers were brought from

AS there was no room to barrack
them over night, the soldiers bivouaced

slept in tents in the parks, while the
remainder lay down beside their guns
in the streets.
At a conservative estimate zoo, 1000
persons passed through Westminster
hall to look upon the coffin of the king
lying in state. Barriers were built. by
means of which the people were
ushered through in four lines at the
rate of $4,000 an hour. The body Of

CONTROL OF BOXING
SAID TO BE SINCERE

London.-Some wag started the re-
port that the English prize fighters
were going to form a union. This
news was cabled to the United States
where it caused a great deal of COM
ment and, doubtless, a few smiles.
The committee of sporting writer's,
headed by the weekly journal, THE
Sporting Life" is still trying with un-
diminished vigor to have the interna-
tional boxing board of control estab-
lished.
Some time ago it was intimated to
those sportsmen who had favored us
with their knowledge of the proposal
to create a board to control interna-
tional boxing that we had presented
the whole evidence collected by us to
the National Sporting club, that We
had asked Mr.. Bettinson to kindly
bring the matter before his commit
tee, and that the committee would
consider the matter. Mr.. Bettinson
now informs US that a very represen-
tative committee, with the Earl of
Lonsdale in the chair discussed the
proposal. Mr.. Bettinson further tells
us the whole committee were in entire
accord with the principal of the board.

ABERDEEN SPENDS A
MILLION IN A YEAR

Aberdeen, Wash.-Public improve
ments in Aberdeen during the last IS
months have cost more than $1,000
900. This sum is represented largely
by street and sewer work. There are
also being put up business blocks that
will cost several hundred thousands
of dollars, and work Is being rushed
to complete the new s125,000 brick
and stone high school for occupancy
by pupils at the opening of the fall
term. Besides the evidences of
growth outlined above there is being
spent 100000 in opening up he res
idence section in the hill district of
the Broadway part of town.
According to figures prepared by
City Engineer Charles w. Ewart,
showing completed and incompleted
public improvements, Aberdeen has
reason to challenge any city Of the
United States of its size to make a
better showing in the upbuilding line.
OF the total already stated, S569,66l,-
so has been paid out for street and
sewer work that has been completed.
OF the uncompleted improvements
the largest undertaking is the tide
flat fill west of Broadway, which will
cost $4,000. For' the Terrace Hill
improvement a 100000 contract has
been let; also for the Second street
pavement $4,000; B street improve
ment $4,000, and G and 1 streets as
phalt paving to cost more tman $780,
900.
The completion of present contracts
will give the city 25 miles of sever
age. There are 1-2 miles Of electric
railway in. the city and the municipal
water systems value is put at $227,-
900.
In the business world Aberdeen
continues to advance and keep pace
with city improvements. Two of the
largest undertakings that are looming
UP are on the principal thorough
fare, Hernon street. w. b. Mack of
