THE LOAFER
(By Himself.)

| see that my old friend Jack John
son, the champion bruiser of the
world, is strapped and in "gay Pa
rec" never visited that gay
French capital but | imagine that s
about the last place I'd want to be
with my finances at low ebb. Jack
wanted to arrange a bruising match
with an Englishman in "Lunnon" ="
but the authorities put the kibosh
on the scheme, whereat Jack devel-
oped a great crouch and at once left
Britain 5 shores for France. Thus
ID months from the time the colored
man won the championship and a
big batch Of money at Reno, he lands
in Paris broke or practically so.
But, look at the glory he has had.
Since that Reno incident the choc-
olate lad has gone the pace and
spent his money freely. He isn't a
tightwad and his golden sheckels
have been generously strewn along
his pathway. His excesses have
probably undermined his constitution
and, before many more months al
most any old "white hope" will Law
him low at the first attack.

The sale by a local real estate
man, Of land in Polk county to two
farmers from Western Canada is
significant. These men declared that
they had "had enough Of Canada
and very much desired to again make
their home in the United States, and
they chose Oregon as being the best
for them. They said that the crops.
had "frozen out" in Canada and
that the climate was altogether too
strenuous for Them There appears
to be a halt in the great trek of
American farmers to Western and
Northern Canada which, during the
past 10 years, has been unprecedent-
ed. In most instances, in fact, in
practically all, the families have left
the United States under the lure of
cheap lands but they have discover
ed that cheap lands alone do not
make a home all that it should be
and that possibly they are cheap in
other things as well as price. Ore
gon has a million. acres or more of
cheap lands" and it is safe to say
that every inch of it is as product
i've, or even more so, than the Canada
soil and moreover, it lies in a eli
mate wherein it is a pleasure to live.

were among the number. In each
case they were large and of fine
