BY Fred L. Boalt.

Captain Cowan, keeper of the
Tatoosh light, hates the sea. But
he does not fear the sea.
He was a seafaring man before
he came to Tatoosh island, IS
years ago. Therefore he knew,
before he took charge of the light
and the horn which bellows when
the weather is thick, something
of the menace of the sea.
To you who travel the sea in
great liners, playing SWITCHBOARD
on the deck, getting up amateur
concerts, sitting in poker games
lin the smoking saloon, or killing
time in a deck chair, snugly
wrapped in rugs-to you this sea
is inded Pacific" ocean.
The worst hardship you can en-
dure is an attack of NAL de mere.
But Capt. Cowan knows the
oceans other side.
We talked together in the little
high-up room where the light is
housed--a room reached by re-
volving stairs and ladders.--and
where the light sent its rays in
vain against the impeneti able
wall of fog which hemmed us IN.
At intervals we heard the hoarse
cry of the fog siren. Three hun
dred feet below the surf doomed.
> 1T sometimes seems to me-"
said Capt. Cowan, 1T should be
called the Terrific ocean,"
Life is what they make 1t on
Tatoosh island. Most times it is
gay. Three governmental depart
ments are represented on the is
land-the lighthouse, the navy
wireless and the weather bureau.
In the shadow of the lighthouse
is the captains home where he,
his wife and their four children
live. The other buildings are
grouped about the lighthouse
the wireless station, the house
where Capt. Cowan's three asUist-
ants live, and the house of the
two weather forecasters ald their
families.
High over all loom the masts of
the wireless, with the singing
wires between.
In fair weather there are oc-
casional visitors to the island
from the mainland, such as the
post trader at Neah bay, or teach
ers from the Makah Indian raser-
walton, or members of the coast
guard service, or officers from
one or another Of the revenue
cutters, or some one from the
salmon caAnery.
Just now. when the salmon
fishing season is at its height

seiners dot the sea about the is

is learned on excellent authority
that within day or so, Gen.
CarranZo will declare himself the
provisional president of Mexico,
and inform the United States and
other Pan-American powers that
their future diplomatic dealings
will be with him.
He is to do this before the
Pan-American conference makes
public its plan for the pacifica-
tion of Mexico. His idea is that
this coup will place him in a po-
sition where the powers must act
aggressively against him. instead
of his defying the powers.

FULTON THE MAN
Oklahoma Heavyweight To Be
Wizards Next Opponent.
Mardi Gras Fight Will Be
Staged in A. NJ. Hours.

New York, Nov. 25.-Fred Fulton,
the big western heavyweight, will be
the next opponent of Jess Willard, the
worlds champion. The tall man
came from the wilds of Oklahoma.
The affair will be staged in New Or
leans during Mardi Gras, the first
week in March. For his part of the
scrap Willard will receive a guarantee
of $4,000. He will get an additional
$4,000 for the privilege of fighting be-
fore the moving pictures.
Willard has received a wire from
Tommy Burns, who signed Willard up
for the fight, announcing that Fulton
has accepted terms. The battle viii
he under the management of Burns
and Dominick Terrick. the well known
New Orleans promoter. 1t will be an
open-air fight.
The final selection of the place will
be made about month before the
fight At the ball park arrangements
can be made to accommodate at least
10000 persons while 10000 can be
handled at the race course. As to the
scale of prices that will rule, Jones
figures it will run from 81 to $50, but
that part of the affair will be left to
the promoters.
The staging of the battle during
Mardi Gras week means that the
fight will have big field to draw
from Over 100000 persons gather in
New Orleans while the pageant pre-
walls.
There is no doubt that the big hight
will be held in the morning as was
the scrap in which Willard won the
championship from Johnson.
Officials in charge of the Mardi
Gras have decided to make the fight
a big drawing card and will not hold
the daily parade on the day of the
battle. They will advertise the fight
in conjunction with the Mardi Gras.
This means that the entire southern
part of the country will be advertised.
