NAY Stage Big Bout in Idaho


E8pereswho are familiar with
world championship boxing con-
tests estimate that more than
150, 900 people from all parts of
the United States will come to
Idaho if the ambitions of Poca-
tello to secure the Willard Demp-
sey boxing contest shall be pulled
off. They base this estimate upon
the attendance at other contests
of that kind and upon thefurther
fact that there is a marked reviv-
al of interest in athletics, and
especially in boxing.
This is reflected in Idaho by
the passage of the kill permitting
boxing contests and providing an
athletic commission by unani-
nous vote of the legislature, even
the women and members of
churches favoring it. Other states
contemplate taking similar ac-
ton.
Pocatello at this time seems to
have every advantage in the
contest for being the place for
staging the big bout and thous-
ands of dollars have already been
raised in that city to have the
promoters stage the contest there.
Various cities around Pocatello
have also raised large sums for
the contest. If the match is
pulled off in Idaho, the state will
receive free advertising such as it
never dreamed of before.

AGED COUPLE
LAID TO REST
The pioneering labor done,
Life's victory bravely fought
and won;
The loving pair lie down to rest,
On Mother Earth's calm, quiet
breast.

John Stephens was born at
Pencades, South Wales, on Mar.
10th, 1845, and Elizabeth Will
Jams Stephens, his wife, was
born near Kidweli, South Wales,
March Goth, l845. Both emigra-
ted to Utah in the summer Of l0-
60. They were married at Salt
Lake City in the spring of 1870.
After residing a short time in
Utah, they removed to Malad, l
daho, later going to California
for a couple of years.
In the spring of 1879 they de-
cided to seek a homestead in a
new and notoverpopulated coun-
try where their children might
have room to settle down and de
velop farm homes near the par
ent nest.
After some considerable search
ing upon the part of Mr.. StepE-
ems, place was decided upon
near the Salmon river, at the
north end Of Round valley and
near Challis, Idaho.
Six boys and one girl were
born to them. The girl and one
boy. their eldest, died shortly af
ter their arrival in the new home
land. The other four boys

companionship with their par
ents and each other. gradually
grew up to manhood and with
the aid of father and mother and
their own good, hard labor, Sc
cured each his separate farm,

their labor and all adjoining the
original homestead near the riv.

SHOWS STRIKING CHANGES
IN LIVE STOCK VALUES

Comparative prices received by
farmers and range men for lambs and
mature sheep from 1913 TO 1919 In
dicate growing demand for ewes TOR
breeding purposes. II the average
price for ewes throughout the United
States, January /. 1913, is placed at
100, the similar price is 3I2 in 1919.
During the same period the price of
lambs increased from 100 TO 2S3; Of
wethers. 2so; and Of rams. to 25o.
These comments are based on prices
ascertained by the Bureau OF Crop
Estimates.
Calves gained in average price dur
Ing this period little more than ma
ture cattle did; from 100 calves ad-
vanced to 1853 and mature cattle to
1855, and perhaps the stronger
movement for calves reflected a dis
position to build up herds.
On the other hand. horse prices
declined In the average for the United
States, although in the south tbe
price movement was upward. on ac-
count OF the demand for Southern
chunks" in that region. This may
have combined with war demand to
retard the fall OF the national aver
age price of mature horses below
the price of colts. For mature
horses the decline was from 100 to
SO, and for horse colts 10 81.
The mule is the chief draft animal
Of the south. and this fact, Joined
perhaps by war demand. gave mature
mules a gain in relative price from
100 TO III, while mule colts ended
the period whefe they began, at 100.
