England is sending troops across the

Day by day the American troops are
being hurried up to the fighting front
and brgaded with the British and

WHERE FARMING

Some idea Of the great wealth thar

sZed. The amount received from the
sale of wheat. oats, barley, flax and
rye IN 1917 was 270000.0O0 while the
sales Of live stock at Winnipeg alone

SUM hogs alone gave over eleven null

This wonderful progress that has

DENVER 70 STAGE
CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT
Only Real Rival for FistiC
Bout Is Staid Old City Of
New Haven, Conn.
By H. G. hamilton

\ Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 2.-The world 4
championship heavyweight scrap be
tween Jess Willard and Fred Fulton
will, according to present indications
be held either in Denver, Colo, or New
Haven, Conn, with the balance con-
siderably in favor of the western city.
Colonel Joseph C. Miller, who matched
the ponderous mitt-wielders as a matter
of fact, is seriously considering becom-
ing the one and only commander in chief
Of the forces who will stage the bout, in
clining to Denver because he believes he
can get sufficient local backing to make
The affair a success.
Denver possesses two suitable places
for the bout-one indoor stadium and a
huge outdoor enclosure. The indoor spot
has practically been passed up, SO, if
the bout goes to the mile-high city it
undoubtedly will be in the Denver base
ball park.
This park is of major league propor-
tions. 1t has a grandstand that can conl-
fortably seat 10000 persons with a
.small-sized bleachers off to one side.
Around this could be erected temporary
seats to accommodate $4,000 or 10000
more persons.
Colonel Miller is confident the at
tendance at the fight will amount to
just as many seats as he is able 10
group around the ring Prices may have
to be run up, he declared, to hold the
attendance down to the capacity Of the
arena.
"L haven't talked lot about Of
fers,' Colonel Miller said, "because a
lot of small town offers have been
made simply to get advertising. This
bout ism It being auctioned off at all.
In fact, rather believe want 10 do
the whole thing myself with probably
some local help"
