Ring Career of james j. Jeiiries.

James j. Jeffries was born in 1875,
in Carroll, o., the son of an inpecu-
NOUS preacher. At an early age he
removed to Los Angeles, Cal. where
he received some schooling before he
started out to make his living as a
boilermaker. The strenuous work re-
quired by his trade developed his ply
steal strength to an unusual degree
and thus prepared him for his later
career in the prize ring. His first
pugilistic experience was not obtain

public street. 1t was an unscientific
fist fight between Jeffries and the
colored ward bully, who had made
himself obnoxious, and the battle
ended with Jeffries' victory.
Jeffries' first regular ring fight
was against Tim Van Buskirk, whom
he finished by knockout in the sec
ond round. The result of the fight
was particularly pleasing to Jeffries.
as Van Buskirk was considered the
heavyweight champion of the Paci-
fic coast.

perience in the ring was a little har-

of Chicago, who kept Jeffries hust-

CONDITIONS GOOD.
Bradstreet's Finds First Six Months
OF Business Satisfactory As
Whole,

Reports to Bradstreets summarize
ing conditions for first half of pres
ent year indicate a satisfactory con-
dition generally in comparison with
same period of a year ago. Manu-
facturers were fully as well employ
ed as they were during the first half
of 1909, with the exception of cotton
manufacturers. Labor has been well
employed although there have been
some Interruptions by strikes. Labor
troubles among granite manufactur-
ers had a detrimental effect upon
that line of business for the time be-
ing and also affected mercantile in
terests to a considerable extent, in
granite sections but with the re-
sumption of work in that line there
has been gradual working back on
to better basis all around and the
outlook is much improved. The usu-
al amount of orders with an increas-
is apparent in demand for granite
for building work.
Marble business reports the half
years work compares well with pre-
vious year. Early part of the period
noted light orders but conditions are
now better. Among slate manufac-
turers the period has been more or
less uneven and the close of June
shows demand for roofing slate less
than usual but prices are being main
tanned. Slate for interior work and
billiard stock shows an improve
ment and general trade in slate
manufacturing centers has imp5ov-
ed. Manufacturers of knit goods,
machinery and paper note a liberal
increase in volume of business.
The farmer during maple sugar Pc
riod did not harvest as large a sugar
crop owing to the shortness of the
season. and in these sections country
trade has felt the effects of smaller
yield, although dealers in maple pro-
ducts have found a good market at
liberal prices. Weather conditions
generally have not been favorable
for the best results in retail trade
lalthough a summary for six months
just closed shows fully as large a
trade as usual. Crops with the ex-
ception of hay, are all late, corn has
done well during the latter half Of
