tivate and make permanent homes
upon them. Any person who is the
head Of a family or who is twenty-One
years Of age and is a citizen Of the
United States or who has filed his
declaration Of intention to become such
may acquire a tract Of unappropriated
public land. not exceeding 100 acres,
On condition Of settlement, cultivation
and continuous occupancy as a home
by him for the period Of FIVE years
and the payment Of certain moderate
fees. II is expressly declared that no
lands acquired under this statute shall
in any event become liable to any
debt contracted prior to the issuing of
the patent therefor by the government

SKYSCRAPERS TACKLE
BOSSES TEAM TODAY
Cooley and Blankenship Both
Believe That Salt Lakers
Will Win From Now On.

Dick Cooley and his team manager
Cliff Blankenshlp. are both hopeful OF
retrieving some Of the prestige tho team
lost on It's Montana trip. The Sky
scrapers tackle Boise today and hereto
fore the Idaho asgreEation has not been
so difficult TO conquer as Helena and
Great Falls. a victory is confidently ex-
pected by both Cooley and Blankenship.
Cliff sent wire last night, saying that
signs seemed propitious. but Coolev's
mascot, the bulldog. is not in the best
OF spirits. so il will bc wise TO consult
the score before making any rash predic-
tons.
Helena's victories are attributable
largely TO the enthusiasm OF the rooters.
The fans ND there make so much noise
that almost any young PLAYER is apt 10
be ratified. Even the Great Falls fans
are not near rivals 10 the Heleneites as
noise producers.
John McClosHey's proud aggregation OF
ball players. including Remncas and
"Adonis" Eddie Quick, will attempt /.
wrest game from the clutches OF the
Helena club today. McClosltey's expert
ence in Helena will give Salt Lake fans
n chance to determine whether the Hell
ena team is really greatly improved or
merely has hoodoo which Is effective
against the Skyscrapers.

Boxing Popular in America.

and can give critical opinion. right or

II came as news 10 me that the bouts
in New York were limited 10 ten rounds.
But there seems TO be much sense in
this. DESPITE the prejudice that seems 70
exist against this sort Of curious lcgs-
lstion. However, the referee In two out
OF three contests should be able to come
10 a decision az the end Of this period
of ten rounds.

should not know OF official verdicts until

To cleanse the old prize ring was my
fathers one and only Idea In framing the
Marquis OF Queensberry rules. He often
told me he sought TO evolve a scientific
art OF sef-defense out OF what was q
brutallzing exhibition of physical force.
The knockout was thing hated by, my
father and he preferred that bout
should be stopped when the superiority
Of one man was palpably apparent,
II never was intended that the quick
and drastic knockout should be avoided.
The rules were framed 10 save the man
whose heart was bigger than his strength
and who rather than give in would crawl
no and face his opponent prepared even
to die In the attempk

have arisen and I feel sure that by
amendments we can dispel the prejudice
that now exists against boxing. II con-

the present laws against boxing In Amer
