The decision in the ten-round box
ing contest in the Bull opera house
Thursday evening between Jack Kill
burn, of Oakley, and Thos. Parks, a
we'll known wrestler, was given in
favor of the former man in the second
round. The first thirty seconds of the
first round was fast and furious, the
boys meeting in the center of the ring
and indulging in an exchange of sledge
hammer blows with odds about even.
After little diminishing both went
down in scuffle, kilburn being the
first to regain his feet, struck Parks
couple of light taps before the lat
ter was prepared to meet the attack
and thus the first round ended with
kllburn in the lead. Parks came I'D
for the second round in apparently
good condition, but the fast work Of
the first round had proved too much
for him, and to say the least his
finish was sudden. The preliminaries
were pronounced good, more so than

slowness. The bout was plainly Win

FETTE RFAvORS
SPECIAL BOATS
QUINCY CAPTAIN WRITES e. n
THOMAS CONCERNING NAvl-
CATION ON DIES MONIES.

In q. letter to E. II. Thomas, the
South Ottumwa booster of navigation,
Captain A. v. Fetter of Quincy, refers
to navigating the Des Moines river.
Captain Fetter has spent almost his
entire life on the Mississippi river.
tain and now owner Of a number of
steamboats,, and his experience as
river man makes him authority upon
all matters pertaining to navigation
and boats. The following is what he
has to say in reference to navigating
the Des Moines during the high water
months:
Friend Thomas:-1 think you are
correct in your view that by using
specially built boats the Des Moines In
it's present condition can be utilized for
navigation during the high water
months. Judge r. S. Reid, waterways
commissioner for the state Of Wiscon-
sin, in his report for 1908, takes the
ground that tributaries like the Wis
consin (and Des Moines) should be
utilized and navigated during the high
water months each season. and that
such result can be brought about, not
especially by improving the rivers. but
simply using them in flood stage: just
as the coal men do now on the Ohio. He
claims the government can do more Tor
these streams than improving them by
experience in investigating navigation
boats to overcome the particular diff
culties of navigation these streams
present dow bridges, etc. He gives his
experience in investigating navigation
and it's methods, type Of boats, etc, on
all European streams. His interesting
report Is in pamphlet form, and
would suggest that you write him for
a copy. His address is La Crosse, Wis.
If you write him, mention my name.
Rovers Work. in April Everybody's
Magazine, which illustrates low type
of tow boat used on German rivers,
these boats. having low side paddle
wheels. located almost astern. This
article, as we'll as Mr.. Reid's report,
takes the stand that you do, that it is
all wrong to have the freight space
stating a long and expensive carry by
humans, both on hand and off the boat.
Both authorities praise the German
methods Of using barges with hinged
matches and public docks and cranes to
hoist and lower the freight at every
landing.
I'VE have plenty of competent men
on the Mississippi river who would
handle the boats up the Des Moines,
but they would of course expect you
people to take an interest in the enter
prise, and invest some money. With
your shippers interested, the boats
would get plenty of business. For such
an enterprise as you suggest, boats and
barges would have to be built. To make
1t a success your shippers should hold
a majority Of the stock in the boats. I
am certainly interested in the opening
of the waterways.
IF you have any spare time at all
this summer. l want you to come and
spend such time as you have on board
with me, may then be able to tell
you more on the subject than have
been able to crowd into this letter.
Hoping to have the pleasure of hav-
ing you for guest before long, and
with best wishes, I am
very truly yours,
"A. v. Fetter."

HAS 24O CONTESTS
Neither Taft Nor Roosevelt Faction
Has Majority In Convention
Tomorrow,

Lincoln, Neb., July 29.-TwO hun
dred and forty seats in the republican
state convention which will be held
here tomorrow are In dispute between
the Taft and Roosevelt factions of the
party and upon the way these contests
are decided will the control of that
gathering depend.
Neither side has enough to make a
majority without some Of the contests
delegates. The Roosevelt men could
run the convention by getting one
third of them, but the Taft forces must
have nearly the whole number to win.
In practically every case where a
contest has been brought, the ques-
ton is being raised as to whether or
not men who are supporting Roose-
welt and opposing Taft have a right to
sit In republican convention.
That is the issue in Lancaster coun-
ty, in which Lincoln is situated, Gage
Jefferson and other counties. In Dou-
glas county, in which Omaha is locat-
ed, the quarrel is on the point as to
whether the regular convention called
and dominated by the Taft men was a
Representative one. The executive
