LANE l N FAVOR 1OEVELOP|NG G
 RESOURCES

WASHINGTON, Aug 31.-Secretary Lane is preparing his annual report to Congress as Secretary of the Interior and will recommed several new changes in regard to the conservation of the great natural resources of the country. The administration is now ready to go ahead with it's water pow CT bill, the provisions having been agreed upon and the secretary is now drafting the measure which he will strongly urge upon Congress in his re- port. The bill will place all water powers throughout the west and Alas ka, not now privately owned, under public control, with probabilities of being leased under government regu- lations. The Secretary will also re- commend the passage of national leas- Ing bills for the coal, oil and other public lands of the United States, and while details are not yet available it is believed that the secretary is in fa- vor of making the terms of the leases reasonable so that capital will be en- couraged to invest and devlop these resources. MT Lane said today that he expected all these bills to pass the senate in the coming session although they failed of passage last year The terms have been considerably modi- fled.

B0X TEN ROUNDS
 FUR PURSE 0F
 S32,500

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-New heights in ring finance were reached in the signing of Packey Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons to box in this city Sept. II. These two glove artists agreed to box ten rounds without decision for purse of s32 300, of which Mcfarland is to receive $17,5O0 and Gibbons $15,- 900. No title will be involved and even though a knockout occur the re- suit will be without championship value.
 Underline circumstances the paying of $5SS per minute to Mcfarland and $500 per minute to Gibbons establishes what is undoubtedly a new record in limited round pugilism. Owing to the boxing skill and reputation of these modern ring generals the gate receipts are quite likely to exceed by several thousand dollars the purse and other incidental expenses but there is noth- ing in local puglistic history to war rant the idea that the receipts will ap- proach the figures reached fin famous battles of the past
 The largest gate receipts ever re- corded at bout in New York were $66,300 taken in at the Jeffries-Sharkey twenty-five round battle, fought at Coney Island, November 3, 1899. The fight between Jim Corbett and Kid Mccoy, during the closing days of the Horton Law, under which some of the greatest bouts of modern ring history were fought, netted S56,35O at the gate. Championship fights in Nevada Australia and several other points have drawn larger gates but many famous figthers including Nelson, Cans, Britt, McGovern, Fitzsimmons, Ketchel, Jeffries and Corbett risked, and in some cases lost their titles be- fore tistic gatherings, the receipts from which did not equal the set aside for Gibbons and Mcfarland.

The presi- urges every patriotic Chinese not to forget the history of Poland and asks them to organize for the upbuilding of their country and for the formation of means to repulse further aggres- sions.

Commercial Club Holds Booster Meeting Plans for Advertising City is Announced

however, that his remarks should not be considered disparaging in rela- tion to the work being done by the present secretary.
 Messrs. o. P. Gaustad and R. c. Southworth then spoke to some ex tent. both telling of how, as editors, they are in receipt of numerous let ters of inquiry on every arriving mail Both explained that they sent sample copies of their publications 10 the Outside when requested to do so. although the cost to them is great. Both approved of getting up booklet stating that 1t would answer the purpose much better than information gleaned from sam pie copies of the papers.
 Postmaster H. Deal stated that he was in hearty accord with the project, closing his remarks by of fering to subscribe the sum of 1925. Andrew Nerland, mayor of Fairbanks. then stated that in his official capacity and as a resident of the city lie will do all he can toward forwarding the interests of the community, ending with the statement that his firm will be Oil hand with financial assistance when necessary.
 An appeal for membership for the club was then made by MT Clarke. He said that the club now has a paying membership of 5S, when it Is well known fact that there should be between no and 120 mem bers from the ranks of the business men of Fairbanks. The monthly dues are small, he said. being only $2. and he ended his talk by stating that he thought every head of business in Fairbanks could afford to pay that much. His appeal was answered by A. J. Godske. who ros' to the occasion by stating that he would pay six months in advance ScStIdl llUlt Ol lllOSc pltStul dlSt signed the club membership role af- ter the meeting adjourned.
 A short discussion on mail mat ters was the next thing in order Two letters regarding the service were read One from an Outside publishing house, was received by Frank R. Clark, of the Red Cross drug store. The other was written by Senator George F. Chamberlain to L. F. Protzman. Ii emphasized the need of advertising literature.
 The meeting can be said to have been success in every respect Nearly all of the business houses of Fairbanks were represented. It is a noteworthy fact, however, that none of the heads of the federal de partments represented here were in attendance, with the exception of Postmaster T. H. Deal.
