How Carl Morris
 Became White Hope
Oklahoma Fireman Decided to Enter Ring After Hearing
 of Jeff's Defeat

The story of Morris determination to become champion of the world has been told, but it is worth repeating in view of the big fellows prospective bout in the Garden. Morris was a freight locomotive engineer when he pulled into Sapulpa, Ok, the day Jeff fries was whipped at Reno. He stop ped his engine beside a block signal tower in which Bill Stone, telegrapher had just received the news of John sons victory.
 'sWho won the big fight?" asked Morris, leaning out of the cab.
 Johnson in fifteen rounds was Stones reply.
 ''Then I'll quit this job right here, '' said the big fellow. 'I'm going to turn fighter and whip the negro sure.
 True to his word, Morris resigned his position that night and so did Bill Stone.
 "Let me manage you and we'll make some coin,' remarked the telegrapher, and promptly bargain was made. Between them they scraped up a few hundred dollars and Stone got match for Morris with local rough-house person, who was knocked into a cock ed hat in less than a round. Then Stone arranged a few other bouts all of which resulted the same way and later he secured Marvin Hart, who succeeded to the heavyweight title when Jeffries quit and subsequently, was beaten for it by Tommy Burns on points. When Hart had been slaughtered Morris began to attract attention and one day Stone was ap- preached by Ufer, who said:
 .T1l give you $25,000 in cash for the contract you have with Morris. Is it a go?"
 Better take it, Bill" interposed Morris. who stood near. "1t's soft money and you may never get another offer like it.''
 So the money was paid over and Stone went back to the block signal tour, vowing that he'd save the new bank roll to bet on Morris if he ever got into the ring with Johnson.

SHADOW AND REALITY

Seattle finds herself today in the same condition as the ayartcious and QuazreIsome dog that was crossing swift flowing stream with a large meat-coyered bone in his mouth As the dog gazcd over the side of the bridge he saw reflected in the rapid current below him, the shadow of him self with a shadowy bone winch look ed so tempting to his gluttouous ma ture that he immediately dropped the real article and spraug after the sha- dow.
 Just so has the militant commercial zeal and seltisbness Of the Spirit City caused 1t to drop the real meat of prosperity and spring after the sha- dow of the Oriental trade.
 Wbjmperiug and trembling they have crawIed out of the cold douche and are now beginning to realize that shadows are not so pourtsbing as good substantial goOd-they want Alaska back again, but don't know just ex. actly how Co get it.
 John W. Troy. with the Alaska-Yu- kou magazine has been trying to show them how they may make a swift run across country and over. take the bone in the swift-fIowiug stream. and just a few of them are puppy like. getting their eyes open.
 The commercial bodies Of Seattle under Troy's driving have at last gone on record as fayoring some oi the things that Alaska demands-they have wired their little messenger boys in congress to come thruOgh with the goods and deliver their vote for Alaskas iudepeudeuce-but like some messenger boys, one of theirs Is not reliable and it is probIematcaL whether he will or not
 Seattle must dispossess herself Ol the notion that the people of Alaska are suburban citizens of Seattle who have come up here for the express purpose of getting gold to pour into the laps of her merchant princes @ they must be brought to the real izatiou that We are a free people in spirit, if not politically so;-that we resent political interference and com mercial domination from any source We want a fair field with no favor ties.
 We believe in the spirit of reel procity, If Seattle wants to reap the benefits Of commercial profit in the North, let Seattle invest some of her boasJed bank surpIusses in the de velopmeut of the North How much real Seattle money is invested in the North compared with a relative am ouut of trade? The answer will be long minus sign.

Alexandra Dumas was leaving the

Needless to say young Fassett is an
enthusiast in wireless and does not
want to talk about much else.
When not at school he is either In

dreams ''rheostats' and sparks" in

predicting a brilliant future for him
