Men That Do Women. Work.

Among some Of the American Indi-
an tribes Of the southwestern United
States. says a writer in Wide World
Magazine. there is a curious custom
OF men occasionally assuming the
work Of women as a life occupation.
This. when 1t occurs, is voluntarily I'M
dertaken. and seems to be due to a
preference for feminine laborx, the
man sinking his identity as far as pos
slble by assuming woman's garb.

LOWER TAXES NEXT YEAR.

Governor West says there will be lower taxes next year.
In order that possible the people should elect the fol-
lowing kind Of legislature;
legislature that would enact laws but repeal
fourth Of those we have.
legislature that would scale down all salaries OF officials
getting over $4,000 year about 20 per cent.
legislature that would raise salaries create Of
fices.
legislature with speaker who did not get his office by log
rolling combine to start with.
legislature that would make the big special interests pay for
their own protection.
legislature that would not swear in clerks and experts big
salary who never even appear at Salem
But that day win not come the appetite for graft strong
and dies hard.
That kind Of legislature will not be elected and taxes will
not be lowered next year.

cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, ex-

On such streets there is objection to concrete but the CITY

Salem has competent contractors who have built good concrete
streets when thew could get good and good materials
and good inspection as the work went down.
The city charter has been amended to give the home aborrs
and teansers and by implication the home contractors the
preference in all public work
The more public work that be done with home labor and
by home contractors the kept at home and the
better for the city, If they can do the work.
not fair the contractor who lives here to bring IN COM

WASHINGTON'S
BIRTHDAY

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-The eyes
Of the pugilistic world will be To-
cused on California next Thursday
when fighting carnival will be held
within its boundaries. First in i'm
portance is the lightweight cham
piOnship contest at Los Angeles be-
tween Abe Attell, the title holder,
and Johnny Kilbane, conqueror OF
Joe Rivers, the Mexican marvel. This
contest will be refereed by Charles
Eyton, OF Los Angeles.
Despite the fact that Attell will
enter the ring 10 to 7 favorite
over Kilbane, hundreds of Californi-
ans are betting real money that the
Clevelander will stow the champion
away, in the belief that Kilbanes
youth, stamina and wallop will more
than offset Attell's cleverness and
experience. 1t is pointed out that
Attell has not engaged in a 2O-round
contest in two years, while Kilbane
has engaged in no less than four
marathon contests in the last year,
emerging victorious in each case.
Many fans contend that Kilbane is
the equal of Attell in cleverness,
has a better punch in either mitt and
is more aggressive.
Next in Importance is the Frank
Klauss-Sailor Peteroskey middle
weight bout, to be staged in the au-
ditorium pavilion, San Francisco.
Kloue ia oroYnaro1lxr ranOOni1ad ae fhn

death Of Stanley Ketchel, and al
though he is meeting a hard hitting
aggressive scrapper in the Goat Is
land sailor, the Pittsburger is conf
dent that he will win by a knock
out This contest will be refereed
by Jack Welsh.
Third on the list is the Billy
Papke-Frank Mantell 20-round battle
at Sacramento This bout is arous-
ing much interest because Papke
will attempt to come back" under
his old manager, Tom Jones, who
brought him from obscurity to the
middleweight championship. Jones
contends that Papke is as good as
ever, and that If he wins decisively
over Mantell, he will be matched
with the "Wall Of Kalu;s" for the
middleweight championship.
The Freddie Welch-Jack Britton
bout is fourth in point Of interest
This fight will be staged at his Col
ma arena near San Francisco.
