site in Nevada, according to many
experts to claim to have inspected
the state very thoroughly from one
end to the other. There is not a
shade tree or even a blade of grass
for blocks. 1t is hoped that the at
mosphere may be cleared a little. It
is sad and dismal to think that pro-
motors will not allow an innocent
soda water bottle within the arena
gates.
Bank Rolls Fade Away.
Reno people have plenty of gam
bling advantages of their own. They
were gambling long before they ever
heard of Jeffries and Johnson, and
they will be gambling for long time
after the fight is forgotten. The
truth is that the battle is not going
to be the gigantic betting PROPOSE
ton that was looked for several
months ago. All those wonderful
$4,000 bank rolls have faded away
to mere nothing, and the men who
were going to bet them have ceased
making speeches, perhaps to save
their money to buy fight tickets and
pay living expenses.
Reports from New York and Chi
cago say that they are going strong
back there. Those who are four good
miles away do not know whether
this is press agent CUFF or the real
om-the-shoulder talk.
Not Betting i'm Reno.
At all events, they are not betting
their money in Reno, and Reno is
the seat of action at the present
time and will be until July 4. Crowds
are coming in on every train, and
it is expected that by Saturday night
there will be at least 10000 people
In Reno. Where they are going to
sleep Monday night nobody knows,
for the hotels are crowded to the
suffocation point already, and even
private homes with spare rooms are
being played to the limit. 1t looks
as though there will be many boys
carrying the banner" for a few
nights before and after the fight.
San Francisco, June 29.-Mrs.
James j. Jeffries is anxiously count
ing the days until the fight is over.
She fears trouble in Reno, because
it is a rough place, and she may be
right in that, too. Richard and Glea-
son have taken more elaborate pre-
cautions to police the arena than
they had planned for the stadium
in this city. In addition to the Pin
kertons there will be bunch OF To-
cal talent-real handlers of bad men
who know how to keep down trou-
BILE without too much shooting. These
fellows will wear big guns in belts
outside of their coats.
Mrs. Jeffries said: 81 was de-
lighted when Governor Gillett STOP
ped the contest in California and ]
urged Jim to give up meeting the
negro in the ring, but he refused.
He said that he had given his word
to his friends to make this fight and
he would not go back on his word
But he gave me his promise long
time ago that he would never fight
again after the Fourth of July and
there is a whole lot of consolation
inrthat."

SPOKANE WON TERMINAL RATES
Interstate Commission Has
Ordered Big Freight
Reduction.
EFFECTS WENATCHEE
Ruled Against "Back Haul"
Rates - Saving to
Shippers.

Spokane has won it's cele-
brated rate case. Not only
has Spokane been successful
before the interstate COM
merce commission but the
ruling effects all Central
Washington points, Wenat-
chez included. Seattle has
been the wholesale center
for North Central Washing
ton from the fact that it has
what is known as terminal
rates, Wenatchee and Spo-
kane having to pay not only
the terminal rate but the 10
cal rate or "back haul" rate
from Seattle to these points.
The decision of the inter-
state commerce commission
is one of the most radical
and far reaching that has
ever been made and the re-
suit of the rulings will be the
making of a new rate sched-
ule by all Of the Pacific coast
railroads, and will mean the
saving Of thousands of dol
lars in freight rates to local
shippers. The ruling will
have the effect of giving
Spokane an opportunity to
compete with coast cities as
a wholesale center.
Washington, June "a decision
was handed down today by the inter-
state commerce commission which
is of countrywide Importance. 1t
effects freight rates of both class and
commodity on all transcontinental
lines operating between Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. Extensive reductions
were ordered. In what is known as
the Portland back haul case, the
commission decided the freight
rates from Seattle, Tacoma and Port
land to points in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana unreason-
able and a reduction of 20 per cent
was proposed.
In the Spokane rate case the COM
mission decided the present rates
were excessive and just and reason
able rates On both class and COM
modify freight were established for
the future.
The cases were heard last autumn
by the commission on its six weeks
trip to the Pacific coast, and the in
|termountain territory has been UNI
der consideration ever since. The
commission realized the Importance
of the cases, not only to the railroads
but to the shipping public, and it
prepared it's opinion with the great
|sSt care. !
I'm every instance reductions in
rates were made, and in some in
stances they amounted to nearly so
per cent. The commission found a
remarkable rate situation existing
on the, Pacific coast, and even more
remarkable one in the intermountain
territory. This was notably true of
rates to and from Spokane and Reno.
The Spokane case had been before
the commission on one former occa-
sion several years ago. The ship
pers of that city complained insist
emily of the rates charged on freight
of both class and commodities from
eastern points of origin because they
were required to pay Pacific coast
terminal rates plus the local rates
back to Spokane from those termin-
ais although the freight was dis
charged at Spokane by the railroads
on the western trip. Substantially
the same state of affairs existed at
Reno and other points and the deci-
sion is practically the same =

Reno. June 2S.-Reno is fast be-
coming used to its position OF I'M
nortance on the map. The natives
have about gotten tired of all the
hurrah and jingle which was such
sweet music to their ears few days
ago. Now it remains for the visit
ors to get into the game ana gloat
over the great event that Is less than
a week away. So far as Reno is con-
cerned it is willing to sit around
and wait for the fighters to climb
into the ring.
For the first time in many weeks
Tex Richard is a man almost with
out a trouble. He is just beginning
to look like the Tex of old. Once
again he is devoting his attention
to figuring out the amount of his
house and the amount Of his profits.
He is still game and still confident
that the fight will draw at least
s250,000.
Things broke so nicely in Nevada
for Tex that his natural boosting in
stincts have been sharpened. The
sale of seats for the battle goes mer-
rily on in Jim Mays place. Yester-
day they disposed of more than
$4,000 worth of them. Not one OF
the cheaper-priced pasteboards has
been put on the market as yet. These
will all be held back till practically
tha last minute and there is every
indication that the final sale will be
a worlds record-breaker.
Those who took the pilgrimage
over the hot sands to the arena to
day came away shouting and boost
ing It looks to be about one-third
completed. Now they say that i

TO A FRIE

To the memory of our dear school
lines are dedicated.
One morning very early
\ beautiful angel came
And took our darling Ethel
TO a land where there's no pain.
70 the pearly gates of heaven
Our schoolmate then it bore,
AS an angel bright and fair
70 dwell there forever more.
Took her there to dwell with Jesus,
In that glorious home above
Where there is no grief nor parting
Only happiness and love.
All, How sadly we all miss her,
Miss that friend now gone to rest,
And though it now seems sad and
lonely
We know God does what is best.
Yet once more if we cou'd see her,
Just to hear her merry voice,
Just to- see her smile upon us
How our hearts would then rejoice.
She is gone, but not forgotten
For to US she will remain
An angel pure and holy
Guiding us to heavens domain.
And some time We'll go and meet her,
When LIES journey here Is Ger,
We shall meet our darling Ethel
On that bright eternal shore.
What a comfort in the knowing
While life's troubles DER us roll,
That there is a life hereafter
For death does not kill the soul.

Trenton township has made anoth-
er meritorious effort toward securing
good roads, and this time it is in the
purchase of an expensive road grad
er, one costing in the neighborhood
of $1,000. The machine plows and
elevates the dirt from the ditch to
the center of the road all at the same
time, and is capable of making a grade
several feet high. A trial of the ma
chine was made Monday and we un-
derstand that it proved satisfactory
and the purchase closed. If properly
handled it will prove a valuable asset
to- the township and result in good
roads. The machine will again be
worked on Friday and Saturday of this
week south of Aurora, neal Will
links. The purchase was made
through the machinery agency of G.
