FEW FIGHTERS CAN EQUAL.
JACK DEMPSEY'S RECORD
WAS FAMED FROM COAST TO
COAST IN THE OLD DAYS.
Host Of Middleweishts Now Lay Claim
TO Title He Once Held.
Jack Dempsey's title!

Jack Dempsey's title!
What boxer among all the middle
weights has ecinehed" H.?
The peerless Dempsey--the Nonpa-
reil. Al one time Dempsey was light
weight champion and held the title,
too. His fighting weight was but 1873
pounds. When Dempsey was in full
flight. when he was known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific slope as the
most dangerous, rapid rangy fighter
i'm the middleweight division. the hon
or of this championship lay between
Pete Mccoy, the vicious Boston scrap
per, La Blanche, The Marine" and
Dempsey. Glngerly this triangle of
great fights lowered about the COW
eted title unfit Dempsey and Mccoy
lew together ana Dempsey whipped
Mccoy i'm six rounds.
A Great Battle.
Then IL was Dempsey and La
Blanche. This marine had been
touted the country over as world
beater. He was the fun middlewcight

rushing whirlwind fighter and game to
the core.
Can the old sports remember the
Dempsey-La Blanche battle on that
cold March morning at daybreak?
The ring was pitched in the open al
Larchmont. l.. ]. The fighters and
party had been driven from place to
place by the police.
The men fought with in-tight
gloves. The cool, calculating Dempsey,
with his piston punches, beat The
Marine to a standstiil in 10 rounds.
Since then what middleweights have
held an honest -Injun claim to this I'll
tie? Bob I'itzsimmons took IL from
Demrs ey. but he never touted the
honor. Tommy Ryan. the Syracuse
fighter, went through three rounds Of
n sham fight with Dempsey. and was
given the decision. Five months later
Dempsey was dead of consumption.
Mccoy Held Title.
Then there was Kid Mccoy.
The kid jerked the middewcisht
honors from Ryan and was the real
holder of the l5S-pound belt.
Jack Root finally defeated Mccoy
in a decision bout; first Root and Their
George Gardner tried TO fit mp To the
vacant championship; but neither was
ever recognized.
Around Stanley Ketchel, the Butte

honor. Ketchel and Papke by series
of fierce contests tossed Demp5ey's

lots Of moisture and will perhaps stand
without irrigating until the 18th OF

that had to be irrigated In order To
get the beets to come up. Fall plOwed

Congressman A. o. Stanley, of
the Second Kentucky District,
chairman of the committee Ofthe
House of Representatives which
investigated the Steel Trust, de-
serves great credit for the syste-
natic and highly capable man
ner in which he conducted the
inquiry.
The cost of the entire investi-
cation was but $50, 900. This "a
mount is in striking contrast to
he cost of some of the investiga-
tions under the Republicans, not
ably that of the immigration ques-
tlon at an expense to the people
Of more than 5000, 1000.
Mr.. Stanley saw to it there
were no personal excursions or
junkets with the money appro-
priated for the probe of the steel
corporation. He was willing to
spend money for all necessary
expenses, but was careful that
not dollar was squandered.
1t will be recalled that the in
vestigators of the immigration
question spent their approrria-
tions like water, touring Europe
in the most luxurious style, Wis
iting, at government expense, all
the prominent places of interest,
even journeyins to the pyramids
in Egypt.
Mr.. Stanley's name will 90
down in history along with the
inasterful report of his commit.
tee, and he and the members of
the committee who co-operated
with him, deserve well in the es-
timation of lhe American people
for work well done.

Time is passing and We are
now passing over our roads but
how long will we do this after
the fall rains begin? Practically
nothing has been done to the
roads in this county. Later
working of the roads is verse
than no work at all except to
drain them. All grading done
late in the fall only causes the
dirt to work up soft and makes
mud holes of all places where so
worked. Begin now to improve
the roads to the very best advan-
tage possible and when winter
sets in we will realize that we
have been amply repaid for the
work done this early rather than
late. Overseers, get move on

hind our neighbors' counties,
