FRISCO JONES
WINS DECISION
OVER JAKE POOLE

Little Frisco Jones gave Jake Poole
a run for his money last night at the
Tulane, and lived up to the name that
has been handed down to him by Col.
onel Bradley. the Kids manager.
According to the colonel, Jones was
not in shape and should not have gone
in the ring. he lacked the punch that he
usually displays. and his wind is far
from normal, but with all that thrown
in he won decision over Poole by his
gameness and faithful right.
Both men were going like a pair of
young bulls when the scrap ended in
the fourth, and were as fresh at the
finish as when the first bell rang, four
rounds before.
The judges decision was close, two
for draw. and one for Jones, the bout
was awarded to Jones.
AT the close of the match Poole ask
ed for return bout
The sport lovers expressed their dis
approval at seeing Hoppi scrap man
inferior to him. He was matched with
Joe Burns, of Los Angeles but Burns
was in no condition to scrap and the
bout was stopped in the first. Young
Grim, of Santa Jose, was the next vic
tim. and he only lasted one round
Young Red Corbett took his third de-
cision in three weeks, slaming Kid
Johnson for a goal during their little
show, and subjecting said boy to much
starlight. The first two stanzas were
all Johnson's but from then on, oh boy
the fans asked for a return.
The battle royal was a scream, and
all was Jack Johnson's, no, not the
johnson formentioned, but another col
ored man with a kick like a mule and
if he ever lands a. haymaker with that
punch, the man on the other end will
pass into the land of nod forever, per-
haps.
The music for the occasion was furn-
ished by the colored mans jazz band.

NEW BUILDINGS FOR
BUSINESS GROWTH.
Three City Concerns Completing New
Plants Which Mean City
Industrial Progress.

Notwithstanding the high cost of
labor and building material three
buildings that we have not at yet
mentioned, are being erected in our
city, and when completed will en-
ploy several men.
A. G. Lacasse has erected a new
stone shed near the flour sheds. This
building is S5x31 feet located near
the B. & M. railroad tracks. The
sheds are so arranged that cars may
be run into the building and loaded
and unloaded by a large travelling
crane operated by electricity. There
is also an entrance where teams can
drive into the building to unload.
When completed, which will be about
Nov. l, it will be an up-to-date stone
shed in every respect.
The Prouty & Miller Lumber Co.,
have erected a new sawmiH in the
International mill yards, to replace
the one destroyed by fire June 10th.
This building is SO by SO feet and
two stories high. The machinery to
be installed has begun to arrive and
it is expected to be completed around
November 1. The Prouty & Miller
firm have suffered many severe loss
es by fires, but each time they have
come back with new buildings which
are modern and up-to-date.
G. w. Reed & Sons, G. d. and E.
G. Reed, members of the Orleans
Boat & Machine Co., are erecting a
new machine shop on East Main
street. The first floor Of this
building is up and boarded. the build
ing being 30x90 feet and two stories
high. There is also a boiler room
12x24. When this building is COM
pleted, the firm will not only build
boats but do all kinds of wood work
and plumbing.
The ]. E. Renihan brick block on
Main street, which has been men,
toned is drawing near to completion
and adds one more fine block on Main
street.

MAIN STREET BAPTISTS
IN REMODELLED EDIFICE
Now One of Best Appointed Church
es of It's Denomination in
the Entire State.

Sunday, Sept. 18th, the congrega-
ton Of the Main st. Baptist church
OF Newport, worshipped for the first
TIME In their newly renovated church
building. Easter Sunday a special
free-wlH offering was taken, the pro-
ceeds to be used in repairs to the
church building. The offering in cash
and short-term pledges amounted to
about $1,000. With this money the
building has been shingled, new
hot-air heating plant installed, a
beautiful birch and maple floor laid
In the main auditorium and the aisles
covered with plain green velvet run
ners. The ceilings and walls of the
church and vestry have been refinish-
ed and ventilating system has been
installed. The pastor of the church,
Rev. A. V. Allen, who formerly was
assistant superintendent of the Yer
mont State Baptist convention, and
who in that capacity has visited
nearly all of the Baptist churches of
the state, said in his sermon that
the Main Street church now has as
attractive and well appointed a
church auditorium as there is in the
state. The sermon of the morning
was on the subject, "What Makes a
Church Attractive" The thought
presented was that no matter how
beautiful the church building, unless
the members were consistent in
daily living, sociable among them
selves and to strangers; unselfish in
their ministry to a needy world; and
charitable in their thoughts and dis
cussions of other people, the church
would not be an attractive place in
the community.
