NEW MEXICO TO HAVE
A BOXING COMMISSION

Santa Fe, Dec. IA comprehensive
statute to regulate the fighting or boN-
ing game has been framed after the
Ohio law for submission to the COM
ing legislative session. Under present
conditions, it is found that frameups
and brutality are the rule instead OF
the exception. The proposed statute IS
very stringent and provides for a state
board to supervise the game. No de-
cisions are to be permitted so as TO
prevent gambling.
Five percent Of the gross receipts
from each mill are to go to the sup
port Of the board which appoints
referee for each fight, the name NOT
being announced until the men are n
mill and a representative Of the board
is in attendance and is held response
bic for any acts of brutality. Licenses,
graduated in cost from $50 to S5OO nI US
be paid by the owners of every auul-
forum in which boxing contests are TO
be given.

dared repudiate Mathson's rights as

alarm the cargador. So Billy changed
the subject, demanding tea, and there
was a fine gossip
Once after his Saturdays tramp up
the great hill, Pete returned looking
very old. ST axed Bolt" he explained
about this yere partnership"
"Well?" asked mother sharply
"Wen?"
Bolt says thar's pigs with pink
bows to their tails. just stretchin' and

The old woman turned her back, for
Pete vas crying.
In April there came a rush of
warmth out of the west, licking up
all the snow, save only on that high
plateau where the Hundred Mile and
Spite House seemed to wait and wait
in the white silence.
Pete sat under a roof of cedar
shakes which he had built to shelter
the new "riggings." He was riveting
the last of sixty hackamores, as he
dreamed of the great north trail, of
open meadows by the Hagwilgaet, of
the heaven-piercing spire of Tsegeor-
6inlth at the Forks of Skeena.
Mother he said, I'm no SLOUGH of

come to admire. Pete" she shrilled,
two more buckets of water, and yew
jest git move on. And how long hev
ycw bin promisin' to white me them

Pete, or I'll get right ugly"
Fete only cut from the plug into
his palm, and rolled the tobacco small
for his corn-cob pipe. His winter
se-vitude was ended. and he was mas
ter, the cargador before whom all
men bow in the dread northlands
Mother went off content to carry heI
own water. and Pete, with something
Of flourish, lighted his pipe.
