INTEREST AT HIGH PITCH IN
COLLINS MCCLURE GO
TONIGHT.

Considerable interest has beer
aroused locally in the bout Friday
night between Sunshine McClure ant
Jack Collins. Every evening a con.
siderable crowd of local fans have
watched the two men work out Var
ious opinions are held as to their abil-
ity and fans are giving support about

1t is understood that a number of
fans from Boise, attracted by the two
rafting good preliminaries that were
staged there by the two men for some
OF the wrestling bouts will be on
hand Friday night when the gong
calls the battlers together in the CEN

attempt to 90 more than four rounds.
Over the short route, they put up ex-

who saw them perform.
1t is believed by the management
Of the Caldwell Athletic club that this
will prove far more attractive to fans
than have wrestling matches in the
past. Those supporting athletic at
fractions have been loud in their de-
mand for boxing and this card was
arranged in answer to that demand.
Good preliminaries have been ar.
ranged. Red Van Slyke, who has
been unable to find a match in his
previous appearances, is selected to
show against man who will make

cial transactions in the history OF
Canyon county was made here Wed
nesday morning when the Farmers
and Merchants National bank, to-
gether with all of its holdings in real
estate, was taken over by the First
National bank. Patrons Of the form
er concern were surprised Wednesday
morning to learn that their accounts
had been transferred to the First
National.
1t is understood that the deal,
which was concluded at late hour
Tuesday night, is direct result of
the wish of f. H. Dewey, a heavy
stockh older in the Farmers and Mer
chants National, to dispose of all his
interests here preparatory to moving
to California. Mr.. Dewey has been
disposing of his property here for
some time and recently leased home
in California While he asserts that
he has no intention of scvering all of
his business holding here, recent
transactions would indicate that he
is materially reducing them before
leaving. His family has been in Cal

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
TO EDUCATE THE PEOPLE

A general statewide effort is be.
ing made this year to call to the at

the importance of Fire Prevention
Day on October 9th. The President
of the United States has issued a proc
lamatiOn in which he emphasizes the
fact that the great annual fire loss of
the nation constitutes a serious waste
OF the national resources. 1t has been
estimated that no less than $3.50. .OOO.-
600 worth of property is annually de-

which for the most part are prevent
able
The State Board of Education has
arranged that talks shall be given in
all the schools sometime during this
week in order to bring home to the
children the importance and signifi-
canoe of Fire Prevention Day. In or
der to help out in this movement. the
Conservation and Fire Prevention
Committee of Wilmington has Drepar-
ed matted for the uSe of school teach
ers in which the important facts of
tAAo SANdb movement are SO stated
that they can be told to the children
in the simplest language. 1t is hop
ed tina this emphasis on the day will
help to bring home to the children
the importance of preventive meas
ures now being asked for all over the
country.
October 9th has been selected as
the national fire prevention day be-
cause it was on this date in the year
1871 that the great Chicago fire took |
place which destroyed $4,000 houses,
made nearly 100000 persons homeless
and in which 200 met their death.
Tradition has it that the fire started
when Mrs. 0Leary's COW kicked over
| lamp and set fire to a shed.
According to proclamations by gov
,rnors, the day should be observed by
general cleanup of the houses, by
learing out rubbish in cellars, gar
cts and closets, and by a general in
pection for the purpose of eliminat-
ng fire hazards that may exist about
