 The middle-weight championship problem is no nearer solution now than it was twelve months ago. If the truth were known it Is s--very prob able that the majority of the leading candidates for the title would find it impossible to make the so-eaIled linn it of 15s pounds ringside. Notably among those whom it is thought should be classified as light heavy weights are Eddie McGoorty, George Chip, Frank Klaus and Jack Dillon. Of the exact poundage of the last named fighter am not positive, but it is no secret that negotiations for matches among the others named al ways brings to light the fact that none will consent to make the limit the rules, or properly speaking, pop uIar opinion demands for middle weight championship bouts.
 A worthy successor to the late Stanley Ketchel has not yet been un- covered. Let us hope the year 1914 will treat the fans more kindly in this respect.

(By James J. Corbett, Former Heavy weight. Champion: of the Worldly


 weight. Champion of the Worldly
 Especial to the F'armer.)
 New York; Dec. 27.-1913 was Q rather dull period for. lovers of things pugilistic. In looking. over the records of those actively engaged in the mak- ing of~ring historyE5we are impressed with the fact that the year just draw ing to a close was not especially pro- dUctive of the sensational in Fistiana.
 Not a single championship title changed ownership during the year. Nor have the two divisions of pro- fessional pugiIism which for several years now. have known no recognized leaders-the welter and middle-weight classes produced men whose achieve ments would .entitle them to such rec ognition.
 And it is a lean year in boxing when some one of it's many weight di- visions knows no change of champion.
 Jack Johnson is still the acknowl- edged worlds. champion heavyw tight; the middle and eweIter classes have no recognized leaders. Willie Ritchie is undisputed lightweight champion of the world, while Johnny Kilbane and Johnny Coulon still, reig at the head of the American feat ner and bantam-w divisions res actively Probably. the most notew )rthy, or I might better say, noticeable incl dent in pugilism of the year was the marked deterioration in the work of the three leading colored heavy weights of! the country, namely Jack Johnson, Sam Langford and Joe Jea- nette- The recent performances of these merchandising the miserable showing of Jack Johnson and Lang ford's and Jeannette's latest f1asco, both occurring in Paris last week indicate that the. day of. negro supre- macy in the heavyweight division is about over.&
 | However, there would be greater cause for rejoicing if the slump in prestige of the colored fighters were accompanied, or brought about, by an appreciab1e advancement in the skill and expertness of the white heavy weights.
 In other words we would much pre- fer to- see the title restored to the white race through honorable victory in the ring than by the ravages. of age and dissipation of the other. fellows.
 ,, StiIls. everything considered ight followers will hardly. wear. mourning because of, the obvious back-s1iding of the negroes.

Coming down to the Iight-weights it must be admitted that at last we have a, champion who stacks up as the best boy who has graced that po- has fought only twice since defeating Ad Wolgast for the championship, but in both instances proved himself a worthy holder of the honors, his knockout of Joe Rivers, and decis- ion on points over Leach Cross, un- occasionally two of his most danger ous competitors for lightly eight honors, were notable achievements.
 Ritchie is the classiest champion the division has known since the days of Joe Cans, and the close of 1914 should find him perched safely on top.
 In the feather-weight class Johnny KiIbane looks to be all alone. Had Johnny Dundee not outgrown the di- vision he might have given the cham
 pion a hard battle to retain the pre- miership, but with him out of the way there doesn't appear to be a boy in sight who can give Kilbane an ar gument worth speaking of. Johnny outclasses the rest of the 122 pound CTS as far as Abe Atte1I did when that great fighter was at his best. Johnny Cou1on has not fought in about 6 year. The bantam cham pion has been on the sick list a. long while and it is doubtful whether he will be able to come back and suc- cessfl1lly defend the title he has held so many years. At the present time he is matched to box some western boy of whom little is known in these parts, and his showing in that match will determine his plans for the fu- ture.
 Kid Williams, the Baltimore whirl- wind, and Eddie Campi the clever California youngster Tim McGrath has been nursing along, are matched to fight for the right to battle Coulon for the championship-in the event

Willamette university is to make a
canvass of Salem beginning tomorrow,
for the purpose of increasing its endow-
ment fund Salem folks would like to
know before contributing further
whether the medical school is to be
moved away from this city, and if the
money they give is to support branch
of the school in Portland. 1t is only
fair to Salem people to let them know
about this.
According to the report of the city
engineer most of the concrete paving so
far laid in Salem is defective. 1t prob
ably will have to be dug up in spots and
repaired before long. The Capital Jour
nal will try to shed little light on the
matter in the very near future.
The long.continued drouth beginning
yesterday at 8 O'Clock, bids fair to be
rbroken at this writing, 10 a. m. Monday,
and the long delayed rain is almost a
certainty by night.
The city engineer says the concrete
paving heretofore laid in Salem, is bad
because it was not mixed in the proper
proportions. This is not at all encour-
aging to those who will soon be COM
PEELED to pave. Is there now any guar.
anty that the pavement to be laid will
be any better than that already downf

Its Water Never at the Same Level
For Two Consecutive Minutes.
Two miles out from Settle, on the
main road between that town and IRr
gleton. Yorkshire, England. there is TO
be found one of the most curious Of
natural phenomena in the shape of the
famous ebbing and flowing well of Gig
gleswick.
A small, unpretentious little strucA
ture. scarcely to be distinguished from
the ordinary trough of water to be seen
on many of our country roads, it is yet
one of the most quaint and fascinating
spectacles one could hope to see. AS
the name implies, the we'll has the ma
ture of a tide. 1t GIBBS and lows con-
tinually, though by no means with reg
ularity.
Sometimes the privileged traveller
will see the oblong stone basin filed
with clear water; then, even as no
gazes into its pellucid depths, the wal
ter gradually sinks until the trough -
half empty, or it may be more. There
IS barely time to wonder at this strange
thing ere, with rush and n whirl, the
trough is again full. The ebb and flow
continue with more or less marked eff
feet, and the wate- is never at tho
same level for two consecutive min
utes. Sometimes the outflow has
scarcely begun before the basin again
fills, but at other times the trough IS
almost emptied. ~ Wide World Maya
