HE SAYS THE COMICAL STUFF DOES
NOT PAY WELL in THE FIGHT GAME

Lorain, O.. Feb. 8.-Toughey RAM
ser. local lightweight fighter, who has
licked most Of the boys in his class
in these parts and has become pop
ular performer through his comic cap
srs in the ring has decided to aban-
don the clown stuff and take fighting
seriously hereafter
Ramser Is one Of the toughest boys
the ring has seen and though he has
taken lots Of punishment in the few
years he has been in the game he
has never felt a blow that anonyed
him. 1t has been Ramser's way at
times in the past to thrust out an un-
guarded chin and let his adversary
swing on it with all his might, little
feature that never failed to please the
spectators. And though Ramser has
fought some hard hitters he has never
been knocked down or so much as
dazed.
From now on, however, Toughey is
going to quit the funny business and
give more Of his attention to serious
battling. He has never yet fought any
strength and endurance and he has
fought most Of the best lightweights
in the middle west. Ramser in the
past has spent more energy in two
rounds Of fight than the average
fighter does in ten. Frequently he will
spend the time between rounds shad-
ow boxing in his corner while his
| wearied opponent is trying to recover
a little strength. From now on though,
hn M NJ h0 e<v vvfP
for Toughey. He declares that 1t
doesn't pay. "They won't take me
seriously" said Ramser recently, "and
I make it look so easy that they think
I've done nothing at all. From now on
I'm going to battle in earnest And
won't stop till I've fought the best Of
them."

PRINCE RUPERT HANDICAPPED

Since the violent uproar the shipment of Amer- can fish from Alaskan waters via Prince Rupert to the United States thereby cutting out Ketchkan and threat ening do great harm to the American fishing industry interesting items have appeared in the Prince Rupert News
 One told of the dumping of fory-One tons of herring bait outside because the cold storage plants there refused to handle it. and this in the face of shortage in bait Another told about four fishing boats carrying average of 9OOOO pounds of halbut each which called there but were waived to Seattle because the Grand Trunk Pac c did not have any refrigerator in which to ship the fish, and the cold storage plants had more room.
 The last item does not make an American feel very much peeved but of the sdeghts in it should give the Canadians food for thought It pointed out that the Grand Trunk Pacific only had fifty cold storage cars and depended borrowing from American lines" But all the ears in the United States are busy.
 Canada is in no shape to build cars right now, being busy with munitions but this not going to last forever and while the Grand Trunk Pacific is having hard seddng now it will be there with bells about the second year after the fighting ends and cargo will get by that port if they can help it.

COMPLETE THE LINE

With war threatened the completion of the govern ment railroad between the open harbor here and the Matanuska coal fields becames of two-fod importance
 War increases the demand for navy coal and fuel for the Pacific fleet be provided from this source at far more economical figure than it could be shipped by train from the Pennsylvania and Virginia fields
 Coal is needed all along the Alaskan coast and the pos Sbty of curtament of shipments owing to the need for steamers elsewhere makes it imperative that yearround source of supply available for barge service to other points be established within the territory at once.
 By devoting every effort is possible for the Alas kan Engineering Commission to complete the road be- tween Mile n and Potter creek by December l. next
 But this can only be done by rushing the necessary appropriation through congress for emergency work inn mediaey after it is convened next week. at the latest, during the month of April.
 Every town on the coast from Seward to San Diego should be valy concerned in this project more vitay concerned than they realize at this time
 Next to the ships and the men the most important item of naval preparedness for the United States in the Pacific is to complete this railroad to the coal fields this being the only supply of first class seaming coal on the western coast which entirely suited to the needs of the navy.
