When the chance came, however,
Ritche turned it down cold.

gives Welsh for his end, Ritchie said,
yesterday. "I'll look out for my end

is to get Welsh in the ring, The fin.
ancial end is a secondary consideration
as far as | am concerned.
Then tae opportunity to meet Welsh
came Promoter Coffroth, wiring from
Los Angeles proposed that Freddie
Welsh be given the first $4,000 taken
in at the gate, Ritehie to receive go
per cent of all over that amount. The
proposition was put up to Ritchie by
Coffroth's agent here. The former
champion Immediately accepted the of.

STATE FAIR BOARDS
NEEDS BUT LITTLE

The chief need of the Oregon state
fair board, which the next session of
the legislature will be called upon to
supply, will be an appropriation of
$123,638.40 with which to construct a
new livestock coliseum for the state
fair grounds to add to the. building
equipment during the coming year.
This is the principal item of the
boards estimates for the ensuing bien-
mum which were filed with the secre.
tary of state to be included in the bud.

Another important improvement
which the fair board contemplates for
next year will be the construction of
permanent rOadways in the fair grounds
proper and in the camp grounds, the ag
gregate cost of which is estimated at
1916. 1t is proposed to construct a
system of macadam driveways through
out the grounds to connect with all Of
the buildings, and upon, the principal
streets of the camp grounds, and to
treat them each year with a coating of
Richmond road oil. One Of the most
deplorable features of the fair grounds
equipment is the driveway system,
which is of cheap and but temporary
construction, and, during inelement
weather, is not fit for travel either on
foot or otherwise, and the board feels
that this is a much-needed improve.

conduct of a fair goes into revolving

from the above stated items of esti-

Newlands has won by plurality that

the way it stood at noon today, and

The Reno Journal this morning
prints a tabulation, based on reports
received at their office, that gives
the election to Newlands by IL votes,
but an examination of the table
shows that in the Ormsby county
vote the senator is credited with
forty votes less than he received.

PARIS. Oce. 20, by mail to New

portant as policing a city, yet the
man-in-th -the-street probably don't know
any such thing exists In fact, "wa-
policemen" are more important tna n
city policemen since not frequently
the fate OF a nation depends upon
efficient work by this body of men.
While Rheims was being lombard

days in the quarters of Colonel Jolly,
who was then in charge of the work
of policing the front in that imm edi-
ate territory. Six spies were shot
two being women-while | was III
the vicinity and dozens of suspects
were brought in. Spies are the big
game war policemen must be OH
the outlook for.
The war on the French side is po-
Iced and kept "orderly,'' as far ds
possible by the gendarmery. The
sendarmes are professional soldiers
corresponding to cycle or mounted
policemen in the United States who

certain parts of the country, are call

While the French were retreating

men had little to do, comparatively
speaking, but while advancing, as
was the case from Paris to the re-
gion between Compiegne, Soissons
and Rheims, the gendarmes had theif
hands full.
Here is why:
While the Germans were going
back they left many soldiers il
French territory. Some of these sol
diers were ordinary deserters. Some
were in citizens clothes, spoke
French perfectly and acted as spies
Others were isolated groups of sol
diers, lost from the main body, and
who lived in the woods by day and
roamed the countryside at night
looking for food also for means ol
rejoining their regiments.
French looters are dealt with mer-
c;lessly. A soldier who took few
