SeVenty-four seconds. as announced
by the official timer. sufficed To de-
eide whether Carpenter or Beckett
should meet Jack Dempsey, the Amer
lean heavyweight, for the champion
ship of the world next June. From
the moment the referee, B. ]. Angle,
called time Carpenter had the battle
entirely in his own hands. Beckett
never had chance of hitting the
ag le Frenehman, who landed blows
with enormous strength whenever he
felt inclined.
Amid absolute stiffness most of the
spectators could hear the terrific
crack of the swing that put Beckett
TO eep. There was a roar of cheer
ing as Carpenter assisted Beckett to
his corner where the Englishman
opened his astonished eyes and saw
his opponent being carried on the
shoulders of the enthusiasts around
the ring-and the Frenchman was
smiling happily.
The contestants presented a notable
difference in appearance when they
stripped and were introduced-Beck-

pentier looked about him as though
accustomed to his surroundings;
Beckett seemed somewhat nervous.
Peers and peeres, members of the

U. S. WON'T APPEAL
IN OIL LANDS CASE

ley so7hiNo JOURNAL sptc a. LEAsEnw IBEl
Washington, Dec. Attorney Gem
eral Palmer announced today that the
government would not appeal from
the recent adverse decision of Federal
Judge Bledsoe of the southern district
of California in the oil land cases
against the Southern Pacific company,
involving 100000 acres in naval pc
troleum reserve district No. in that
state. The recent decision of the su-
preme court was favorable to the
government in the Elk Hills case-the
other series against the company.
In the pending cases the trial court
held that Southern Pacific officials
did not know of the mineral character
of the lands involved when patents
were issued for the 100000 acres. In
the Elk Hills case ii was shown that
they had knowledge that the land con-
tanned oil when they obtained the pat
ents. As a result of the decision of
Judge Bledsoe, department of Justice
officials believed those facts could not
be disturbed on appeal.

Realizing that there is no method
Of publicity more valuable to the
development of the resources of a

ments for conducting an industrial

the city were interviewed before we

approval The plan adopted will be
very effective one in that il will

than ten years actively engaged in

SOME PREDICTIONS ON
THE COAL SITUATION

The following wire message re-
ceved by one Of our local coal deal
ers this week gives us a slight idea
AS to what the coal situation will
likely result in
Your coal will cost you double
the present price Il miners demands
for only thirty hours per week and
sixty per cent increase IN wages now
paid for forty eight hours per week
are granted il is highly important
you wire Immediately your senator
and congressman to oppose increase
in wages and decrease in hours and
that they take action TO prevent
strike called for November first.
This information. or warning
comes from the Southwestern Coal
Company, and while we cannot say
that this situation is actually going
to develop. still indications point in
the direction of troublous times in
the coal mines and there is likely TO
be shortage. II is hoped that this
situation will be averted and that
there will be plenty fuel for all. but
our readers are given an opportunity
to make their own choice Of action.

by subscription Lubbock County's
quota Of SOL, 500 Of War Savings
Stamps. Paul Mcmahon, territorial
War Savings Advisor Of this district,
Of Dallas, Texas, assisted by County
Chairman, Percy Spencer Of this city,

transferred temporarily to another
section. This morning Mr.. McMa-
hon visited with all schools Of our
city for the purpose Of getting teach
ers as leaders and solicitors to help
carry out this important campaign.
II is Mr.. McMahon's intentions to or
ganize IN each class Of all the schools
in our county Thrift Club. the
teachers Of which will be chairman
Of the various Club. He also intends
10 go further and interest the various
women's organizations Of our city,
in soliciting war savings stamps. His
plans for doing this are yet incom-
plete but he assured us that with
reasonable interest among these la
dies there would probably be booth
created for the soliciting Of subscrip.
tions and pledges in each Of the four
banks Of our city, that will operate
one day each week, Saturday being
the day which Mr. Mcmahon now rec
ommends as the most favorable day
Of the week for this work.

both Mr.. Spencer and Mr.. Mcmahon

fore the end Of this week designated
for the strenuous campaign, and
with these intentions in mind then
plans are being made now hoping to
have interest created and plans for
mulated so that Lubbock shall easily
remain a progressive. patriotic coun-
". and thus end her part Of the pro-
gram Of reconstruction gloriously as
she did in the days Of the war.

What is the matter with lubbock
This is a question that has rung in
our ears from most every visitor that
we have had anything to say TO, and
IL is also getting to be common
question about town from Lubbock
people. We really cannot tell Just
what is the matter. but there is evi-
IDENTIFY something lacking, some

The town is in deplorable condi-
ton. Rank weeds cover the vacant
lots and overlap the sidewalks in
places. endangering the property on
adjoining lots by creating IRE

ious fires IL allowed 10 remain and
they become dry. Then there Is
great amount Of other rubbish being
allowed to accumulate in the hack

dangerous, and is in stric, violation

will be the source of considerable
raise in the key-rate Of insurance IN

will mean many thousand dollars 70
the business men Of Lubbock. and
other property owners. In this those
who are keeping their property IN
good condition, and their premises
clean will suffer jus, as much as the
other fellow. II then behooves all OF
US TO see that the town Is cleaned ap
and all the hazards removed that IS
possible. thereby preventing raise
in rates that win mean heavy prem
iums on insurance
This IL only one feature. There Is
another. and that is he health con
ditions Of the city. II IS well known
fact that the greater percent of the
disease germs originate or have their
lurking places in the most corrupt
places in the city. and the mass OF
decaying vegetation. rubbish. etc,
and 20 continue in filth may result
in the population Of our cemetery
being considerably increased before
the winter months come and go.
Another drawback 10 our town
and that Is the awful condition Of
the streets a visitor said 10 us the
other day. Take person miles
away from Lubbock. blindfold them
and bring them back to town IN an
automobile and he will be able 20 tell
you within few feet Of where the
city tsreets begin" They are so
rough. and We expect this gentleman
is about correct Anyway the Lub-
book streets are the talk Of every
body who rides over them.

is a movement on foot just now 70

HAS LUBBOCK ANY CIVIC PRIDE?

pave portions OF the city, and this is
a fine idea, and has our most hearty
endorsement, but all the streets in
the city are not going 10 be paved,
and that portion that will be paved
will not have this work done on them
for several months yet, so there
should be something done before
that time, and those streets where
there is no paving planned just now
should by ell means have some at
tention.
There are numbers Of places in
the city where cars can not pass
over the streets, and wagons drawn
by teams are in danger OF becoming
begged. This is disgrace to the
city. and a very poor advertisement
for US, but is the exact condition, as
any citizen OF the town will vcuch
for.
No work Of any consequence has
been done on the streets since early
in the spring when some of the gut
tiers were opened and allowed the
water to drain off little better. but
there has been so much wet weather
this year, and the traffic possibly
heavier than ever before. so that the
streets are in terrible condition
and there is no wonder that the
question arises Has Lubbock any
civic pride?
We will admit that there are mar,
real pretty homes in Lubbock and q
number have their premises well
kept, but there are more that do rot
take any pride in their home, their
business houses or anything that hey
own or control.
We should certainly organize and
make a fight against the conditions.
True, the boys OF the school are do
ing some mighty fine work this
week in the way Of cleaning up some
Of the vacant lots in the business
section. but we doubt II they can COW
er the town and clean IL up as Il
should be. Several car loads Of rub
bish must be gathered and hauled
away before Lubbock can be made
a clean town. and the sooner this Is
done the better Il will be for Lub-
hock, for the people from the stand
point Of health. and for the ! rop"Tty
owners from a financial standpoint.
Lets clean up
Lets put Lubbock on the map as
the cleanest town instead OF the
filthiest.
Lets make Lubbock attractive to
