SAFE Is ROBBED

The safe in the Oregon Grain Co s
mill here was burglarized Sunday night
and about SIS taken. Entrance was
gained from underneath the building
lit was an easy job, as only paddock
held the safe together This old safe
has a history, as it was made about
the time Of the flood and is covered
with sears caused by being blown open
and hacked by crow bars. Many, many
years ago. the story goes, it was used

Outlook Is Excellent
y Cranberry Industry

Some Salem people are interested in
cranberry growing in the coast sections
Of the state, and the following article
from the Ilwaco wash J. Tribune will
be of interest to them:
"The year 1918, barring the arrival
Of the end of the world, will be an aus
pieiiou<>e4e foE the cranberry growers
Of the North Beach peninsula. Every
index points that way.
"'Last year was the crucial period
in the cranberry raising careers of
number of local growers. While the
spirit Of uncertainty among this num-
Der was not publicly advertised, yet
there was something that seemed to
tell them that the result Of he 1917
harvest would determine the period of
their future activities in the cranber-
ry business. The harvest came, and it
was a splendid harvest. The demand
for this product was strong and the
selling price was more than satIsfac-
tory. Field losses were surprisingly
small, the inability Of the growers to
secure pickers causing the most of
these losses. The undecided growers be-
came firm believers tagain-their
doubts were groundless-and prepara-
tions to produce a bigger and better
crop in 1918 were in evidence all over
the Peninsula.
The cranberry industry is in its
infancy here. Many of the growers are
novices at the game. But they are learn
ing from the ground up, and are aided
by a soil and climate which, nation
famed cranberry experts claim, is bet
ter adapted to cranberry growing than
the soil and climate of any other loi
cality in the United States This is a
fact; not a fancy.
Consumers Of local cranberries pro-
fess to prefer them to eastern cram
berries That is encouraging. Kinks in
the marketing problem are being
straightened out, and Uncle Sam has
detailed an entomolOgist to come here
this spring to wage war against in
seets which. fortunately, have not done
much damage to crops on the PENN
sula. The contemplated establishment
of a central warehouse, where cranber-
ries can be prepared for shipment in
the proper way, seems TO be a needed
move, but in the meantime the PENN
sula can shout with assurance about
its wonderful orDortrni fies in the
cranberry lire nd Eron is owes open
for any one who has energy and money
to invest in live and let live l9cal. ]

CHAPTER ~.
Thus was John l.. Sullivan given to
the world as its foremost pugilist. Fair
and honest in all his dealings, cham
pion Of championship stands now a
shining example of other pugilists.
After the Donaldson bouts, offers
were fast and were accepted with equal
rapidity. In those days it WASH t Gus
tomary for the newspapers to speculate
for several months or years over the
match, with much camouflage and
deceit on each side. Challenges were
made and accepted in the open. The pub
lie instantly knew when something was
going to take place. So Sullivan, taking
his championship ability seriously, met
everyone that could be found for him to
go against.
Fought Five Bouts in 'S1.
In 1881 Sullivan met and defeated
five men, among them being John Flood
the fight being held on a barge anchor
ed in the Hudson river just off Yon-
kers, N. Y. 1t was a vicious affair,
fought under the old London prize-ring
rules, and with Flood taking an un-
merciful beating before he succumbed.
Persistently then, Sullivan began to
challenge Paddy Ryan, claimant of the
American championship. Billy Madden
was then handling Sullivan and he had
painstakingly carried the youngster
through an early course of training.
The young giant had grown in
strength and cleverness. At first just
mauling lad with force predominant
over everything he had merely stuck to
first principles of boxing. AS result his
strength was often vainly expended in
endeavoring to hit shifty antagonists.
Madden relieved him of this fault.
Madden had early found that in John
L. Sullivan &c had truly found a mar
vel of the boxing world. Really fero-
cious in appearance when reused to a
fighting stage, Sullivan added to his

LIFE AND BATTLES OF
JOHN L. SULLIVAN

ability by believing himself unconquer
able. In some ways the mind of the
fighter was simple. His very simplicity
however, was the thing that eventually
endeared him to the American sporting
public. That his brain was keen, how
ever. was proved through the gradual
uplifting impulse he gave the game that
was his life s choice.
Sullivan at his best weighed about
1876 pounds. He stood five feet, eleven
and quarter inches in height. His arms
were muscled with the long, ripping
muscles that give power to blows. His
back was a thing of beauty. There
WASH t bound muscle in his makeup.
Madden had taken gradual course
in fitting his young protege for the bat
tie that was to make him the American
heavyweight title and give him a good
claim to the world s title. and he went
about his challenges to the title claim
ant in the usual way.
Arrange for Title Bout.
Public demand, then, as now, was the
thing that mainly made matches and
cries began to arise for battle between
Paddy Ryan and the youngster from the
east. Ryan was willing and so were his
hackers and finally the match was ar
ranged, with $2500 bet on the side. The
rules were to be the London Prize Ring
code. Richard K. Fox, prominent sport
ing man, was chief hacker of Ryan.
The place for the bout had not been
selected The police were, in those days
strong ON the trail of boxing matches.
The sport, as matter of fact, was most
brutal, with the rules mainly made to
disallow foul striking, rather than to
make boxing really boxing. Contests
in those days were just what they were
called-prize fighting.
Early in February principals for the
bout went to New Orleans and there
the boxers went into training for the
first bout of any consequence in pugil-
ism ever held ON American soil.
