MODELS FOR OTHERS

Sacramento, March 28.--That the
state highway Of California is being
watched as model for construction
in eastern states was asserted by
Chas. D. Blaney, chairman of the
California Highway Commission, in
calling to order semi annual con-
ference of the commissions division
engineers and department heads. The
conference is being held in advance
of the large amount of highway con
struction which will be taken up in
the coming spring and summer.
"That California is state of mag
nifcent distances may be appreciated
said Chairman Blaney, "when it is
considered that one line of the state
highway, from the Oregon line south
to San Diego, is 1926 miles long. The
state highway will open some Won
derful scenic features in it's stretches
through the stately Sacramento can
yon, the magnificent Humboldt red
woods, the great Yolo causeway and
the Rincon causeway and TETON link
between the great valley and southern
California.
an this state highway work is
being set in way we are proud of,
in the achievements Of you engineers,
standards which will be considered
when the eastern states plan their
large campaigns in road building. In
facing the typographical problems VT
have here in California you are uncon-
sciously setting up standards which
may we'll be adopted in the other
states of the union."

ALFALFA CUTTING
TO BEGIN IN NORTH

Stockton, March 28.-Owing to the
abundant rains, alfalfa cutting will
commence early next week in many

fact that the cutting is starting fully
two weeks ahead Of the usual time;
in fact, so early that the alfalfa
growers hesitate to cut because of
the difficulty of properly curing the
product at this time. Cutting will be
in full swing shortly after the first Of
April. All growers report to hay

Return Fight Figures
Out of All Question

LONDON, July 24.-Freddy Welsh has
wriggled out Of the promised return
match with Willie Richie. Freddy has
just given out his terms, and they're
absolutely impossible.
In the first place. Richie must make
lS3 pounds ringside, although Richie,
as champion. accepted the English
weight limit of 135 pounds, and let the
title. go with the match.
Richie must allow Welsh $25, 900 Of the
purse. with the privilege OF taking so
per cent of the gate money II he wants
to. That was Ritchie's proposition when
he was champion.
Ritchie must make a sos 900 side bet.
This Is Welsh's most adroit wriggle In
squirming out Of the match. He knows
that no fighter ever bets. or ever will
bet. any such sum on fight. OF course,
Richie wouldn't do it And II Richie
did put UP $4,000 as a side stake Welsh
would never in the wide world cover It.

and continued the process In the next
session. when five were added to the
total. The Reds broke the monotony Of
goose eggs in the third with a tally. but
neither side was able 10 get around the
bases in the fourth.
The fifth was another Red session
but the seventh was very impartial
each team gaining one run. Then. the
Giants started TO squirt, and in the
eighth obtained trio of counts while
the best the home team could do in the
