DEAN IS HERE HERE
TO FIGHT GORDON
Whirlwind Fighter With Manager Ar
rived Last Night-Will Be in Best
of Condition For Match.

Ernie Dean, who meets Bart Gordon
in fifteen round bout at the Grand
theatre Thursday night arrived last
night accompanied by his manager.
"Scotty" Mcpherson, and will finish
his training for the go in this city. To
an outsider it looks as IL Gordon was
taking on rather a tough proposition
to begin with, after a hree motnths
rest and on paper Dean shows up bet
ter than Gordon, He has to his credit
knockout over "Bull' Morrow in
four rounds; Al Alleger, knockout in
four rounds, and draw with Freddie
Burns in ten rounds, also draw with
Joe German. This record insures the
fans of a run for their money when
the boys face each other in the squared
circle Thursday night. Dean is the
style of fighter who likes to mix
things every minute and as Gordon
does not back up the mill should be
very interesting TO say the least. If
Dean follows his usual style of taking
the fight to Gordon from the first gong,
it is foregone conclusion that the
fight will not last the full fifteen
rounds. Gordon knows what he is up
against and is taking no chances but
is training hard and faithfully. Two
good preliminaries will be arranged
between local boxers and the fans may
be sure of a first class show.

LINE
IN NEW VENTURE

| The Frisco Lines have just com
lpleted the organization of depart
Iment of development covering all the
territory along its lines, This depart
ment will on January LIST, 1913, begin
its work along definite lines.
Many railroads throughout the
United States have for a number of
years been engaged in trying to de.
velop their territories, but not along
so elaborate lines, nor with such a
fixed purpose as the Frisco will have.
The industrial, agricultural and inn
migration work, heretofore carried on
through several departments will after
January be consolidated into one de-
partment known as the Department
of Development" One of the Frisco's
principal objects being to carry to the
farmer through its staff of thoroughly
equipped agricultural specialists
the latest improved and scientific
methods of planting, cultivating and
harvesting as the same have been de.
termined by the national and state
agricultural authorities.
For this purpose picked agricultural
specialists will be located at different
points throughout the Frisco's terri
tory. whose sole duty it will be to CO.
operate direct with the farmers. These
agriculturists will have defined ter
ritories within which demonstration
farms will be established and con-
Quoted under the supervision of the
railroad company's agricultural repre-
sentatiyes, together with the represen-
tatives Of the national and state agri-
cultural departments.
Included in this work will be every
branch of farming, dairying, horticul-
ture, poultry raising and stock farm
ing. Such plan as this will not only
materially aid the farmers in increas-
ing their production, but by produc-
ing better article and properly pre-
pairing it for market. they will neces-
sarily increase the price of their
products
Such work as this not only benefits
the farmer already located, but will be
Invaluable to the new settler who will
at once be informed of the country's
resources and possibilities For this
purpose the railroads agricultural rep
resentatives viii keep in constant
touch with the new settler and aid him
in every practical way that will insure
his success.
In brief, all branches of the depart
ment Of development will work closely
together, and deal with both the old
and new settler personally, and en-
courage in every proper way the de-
yelopment of all the country tributary
to Frisco rails.
The plan adopted by the Frisco is an
entirely new one-determined upon
after months of investigation in both
the United States and abroad, and is
the embodiment of the best and most
practical methods that could be found. |

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 30.-The right OF
