Better Than Alaska Gold.
Mr.. Hill said that the cultivation of
a strip of land thirty miles wide ex-
tending around the Sound would pro-
duce more wealth in time than all the
gold mines of Alaska.
He insisted that the Chamber of
Commerce and other trade organiza-
tons let the world know what Wash
ington and the Puget Sound country
can produce and then he said settlers
will flock to the North Pacific coast

Urging that the thrifty farmer is

mercial organizations send agents East
and abroad to let the people of Europe
know what can be done in Washing.
ton. He said that in his opinion the
farming communities of Holland and
Sweden were the most thrifty and
prosperous of all Europe, and urged
chat the commercial organization of Sc
attic and Washington encourage them
to immigrate to this country.
Mr.. Hill said that Washington need
ed greater activity in the dairy indus
try. It was his belief that. Washing
ton, and especially the Puget Sound
country, was well adapted for the loca-
ton of dairy farms and that ii large
number of the thrifty. farmers of Hol-
land and Sweden could be Influenced
to settle in the Puget Sound country,
an important increase in the perma-
nent wealth of the entire district could
be expected.
The committee had made an appoint
ment with Mr.. Hill with view of ask
ing his advice as to how more settlers
might be attracted to the Pacific
Northwest.
His answer was expressed in one
word-publicity.
He told in detail what the Great
Northern railway is doing in its effort
to let the East and Middle West know
Of the possibilities of Washington and
Oregon. The exhibit car, which was
equipped with fruits, grains and farm
products of the North Pacific states,
about two years ago, and sent all over
the country. according to Mr.. Hill, is
doing great publicity work and re-
suits will be forthcoming. Even in
Boston, Philadelphia, New York and
the busy cities of the East the car was
thfonged with visitors, all anxious to
know of Washington and Oregon.
Mr.. Hill said that good indication
of what the Great Northern railway
was doing for the Pacific Northwest
was shown by the large increase in
the number OF inquiries made at the
Offices of the company in ST. Paul. He
also spoke of what the United States
land and irrigation exposition at Chi
cago had done in the way of publicity
and said that Washington and Oregon
would get results from the work done.

ton and the will do all he can to aid
the people OF the Puget Sound dis
trict," said James 8. Goldsmith. presi-
dent OF the Schwabacher Brothers
Company, who was present at the

with the Wenatchee valley and its pos
sibilities. He is in favor OF developing
Oregon, but Washington will not be
neglected"

state of California, and
whereas, for many months it has
oeen advertised to the people of the

fornians will now direct their energies
TO an effort to get consideration of the
resolution at this session.
The prospect for action now is not
as favorable, as it would require two
thirds vote to suspend the rules. The
house leaders. however, may find way
out of the difficulty. They are in favor
of San Francisco, and will do what they
can in the few days remaining to have
the question settled.
The senate committee on expositions
is likely to meet at any time. A ma
jority of that committee favors San
Francisco. If report should come
from that committee in favor of San
Francisco it is thought the house
might adopt the San Francisco resolu-
ton reported today and table the one
relating to New Orleans. This. how
ever, is hardly possible at this session.
New Orleans adherents professed to be
happy over the outcome of today's
meeting, but their enthusiasm was
dampened when they considered the
question of raising $7,50O000 They in
sfst, however that they will have the
amount subscribed by next session.
Taken as a whole, the Californians
think they see progress toward win
ming the exposition for San Francisco.
Several important moves are on foot,
which can not be disclosed, but which
may show results before adjournment.

INTERVIEW DENIED
BY MAYOR MCCARTHY

OMAHA, June 16.-Passing through
here today on his way home Mayor Nc
Carthy of San Francisco emphatically
denied the interview accredited to him
and sent out from Chicago last night in
which he was quoted as saying: Il am
running San Francisco and am taking
no orders from Governor Gillett or his
attorney general"
81 never did make such statement
he said, "and what is more, with the
governor holding the whip hand just
now 1 would be ap idiot to talk that
way. If Webb carries out the COVER
nor's instructions, and I do not doubt
that he will, it looks mighty dubious
for holding prize fight in California
July 4, and for that matter at any
time in the future.
There has been a regular endless
chain of opposition coming from the
church people from all over the coun-
try. These letters and petitions asking
that the fight be stopped have come by
scores of thousands. and finally the
governor yielded. He should have done
so before, if he felt that he was not
going to be strong enough to stand up
and face the music. If the governor
had acted two months ago the people of
our city would not have been such
heavy lOSerS''

FICKERT INFORMED
OF POLITICAL PLOT

District Attorney Fickert last night
issued the following statement in con-
nection with the interference by At
torney General Webb with the Jeffries-
been reported to him that the whole
thing is the result of political plot
between Superior Judge Lawlor and
the attorney general.
After saying that he understood the
governor had issued statement, Dis
trict Attorney Fickert said:
Governor Gillett has legalized
prize fighting during his four years in
office, as has Attorney General Webb
during his eight years in his present
position, by quietly asquiescing. There
are Sc other district attorneys in the
state and /, alone, have been selected
to explain why a prize fight is to be
permitted to be held.
IF Governor Gillett saw that the law
was being. violated, why did he not,
according to the general custom and
courtesy of all public officials, notify
me in writing. Instead, he simply
called me up on the telephone and
asked me the one question, Did l in
tend to interfere? 1 answered him that
| did not, as there was no law whereby
an injunction could be got to stop a
crime. You may prosecute for it after
wards, but not enjoin it.
everything In the agreement Tor the
fight was within the pale of the law,
and if the fighters observed this COM
pact there would have been. nothing
illegal about it.
81 believe Governor Gillett is not
doing the right thing in stopping this
match, after he has given 1t his
acquiesence by his silence. The people
interested in the contest have spent a
great deal of money in anticipation of
its coming off as advertised, and If it
was the governors intention to inter-
fere he should have made that inten-
tion known before the last moment
.It has been reported to me by
friends that the attorney general s
action is the result of q plot against
me- I do not charge this, but those
who do say it is an effort to discredit
me and that Judge Lawlor, after the
November elections, will cite this mat
ter as a dereliction on my part, couple
it with a charge that the graft cases
have been neglected, and ask the at
torney general to step in and handle
the graft cases. This scheme they
say, has been entered into by the at
torney general with such energy be-
cause it was rumored that l would be

SALT LAKE PROPOSES
SITE OVER THE LINE
[Special Dispotch 10 The Call


SALT LAKE. June 16.-Salt Lake
businessmen are jubilant over what
they consider an excellent prospect
to get the Johnson-J -Jeffries fight, not
in Salt Lake, but near here. They are
working on a plan to get the big fight
either in Tecoma, New, or Proctor,
New, two small towns just beyond the
Utah state line, 100 miles west of Salt
Lake.
These towns are connected with Salt
Lake by the Southern Pacific and West
ern Pacific railroads and are within a
two hours run to Salt Lake. The
plan of the Salt Lake people is to in
duce Rickard and Gleason to decide
on one of these two towns as the site
for the fight and to run scores of spe-
cial trains from Salt Lake to the bat
tie grounds on the day of the con-
test This plan was suggested by
Rickard, when he was here some
months ago, and it was taken up with
a vim. A wire was sent today by Salt
Lake businessmen to Tex Rickard Of
fering him every possible assistance
and assuring him that if the plan sug-
gested appeared feasible, the co-opera-
ton of the officials of both railroads
could be obtained.
Before deciding on this plan, another
effort was made to induce Governor
William Spry to permit the. fight to
be held in Salt Lake. Answering this
request Governor Spry said: Il see no
reason for changing my position. The
fact that Governor Gillett has refused
to allow his state to be disgraced by
having the fight in it is but an added
reason why l should not change my
former position. The fight will not be

BIG BETS OFFERED ON
FIGHT STAYING HERE

Although San Francisco's chances of
landing the big fight looked rather
dubious yesterday, still there were
men in plenty who believed that the
battle would be fought here.
In the safe at the st Francis lies
$1,000 which prominent men of the city
are willing to wager at even money
that San Francisco lands the contest.
Up to midnight last night this money
had not been covered.
The names of the men who want to
bet the coin were withheld by the no
tel management, but it is understood
that they know whereof they spea X
and that they will bet even more as

Los ANGELES, June 16.-One 25
round boxing contest of international
Importance and several minor events
are scheduled to take place in this
city between now and the end of Sep
tember.
Sam LangforJ and Tommy Burns

place week later.
The last mentioned two contests are
of the kind that are brought off al
most weekly within the city limits.
The longer distance affairs, which are
classified as prize fights take place
at Vernon, just without the limits of
Los Angeles, where only the state ex-
ecutive has authority to interfere.
