If Johnny Kilbane meets Criqui,
the French featherweight, next spring,
there'll be a new champion. Kilbane
will be 81 years old. and feather
weights are usually all through with
the rings 10 years before they reach
that age. kibane has lasted by TAX
ing life easy and avoiding matches
with opponents who might be danger
ous, especially in the past four years,
when he has not done any fighting
worth mentioning.
1t is doubtful that Kilbane can
make the featherweight limit. AS a
rule he forces the other fellow to
weight in and come in overweight him
self. He could make the weight east
ly II years ago, when he won the
championship.
Criqui Also Veteran
Criqui is also a veteran, though
much younger than kiibane. Also he
is active in the ring. He fights often,
and he has been knocking out all the
best French and English feathers ever
since the war.
The French campion was q good
boxer before the war. He was a good
soldier and saw much fighting against
the Germans, was wounded several
times, and decorated. After the war
he went back to the ring, and imme-
diately began knocking out his old and

Dillon Is Due
This Morning
Butte Featherweight on Main
Bout Has Imposing
Record.

With Dandy Dillon of st. Paul ar
| irving here this morning, all OF the
boxing talent for the December 20
| American Legion card is on hand and
ready for the first workouts this after
noon at the "Y."

Dillon in the 12-round featherweight
mingle for the crown of the northwest
in this division, climbed off the RATHER
| Sunday night with his manager, Paul
| Bader, and will be the first to show
his wares this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
1t is probable that Pete Bross, who
| stacks up against Marine Ranieri in
! the semi-windup, will be seen in the
| workouts with Gordon. Dillon will go
on the floor at 3 o'clock.
Gordon claims to be feeling fit as
a fiddle and needing only a few days
to taper off his training. He has been
| putting in his training hicks in the
mining city up at the Manhattan Club
gym, boxing daily with men like Walter
Rooney and the number of scrappers
who use this training ground for their
conditioning.
Has Fought All Over.
Although Gordon used to call Butte
his home, he has been fighting in many
places and has been in Butte only for
the past month. Previous to this he
was appearing on California cards, and
he is expecting now to move along to
Detroit, where his brother is %scrapping.
Although but % years of age, a close
scanning of Gordon's record shows
that he has been stacked up against
some of the best men in his division
in the country and with more than
ordinary success. He has had battles
with such wel1-known ringsters as Bud
Ridley, Billy Mascot. Danny Ed
wards. Babe Herman. Mickey Demp-
sey, George Franklin, George Spencer.

Pershing Stadium Is
White Elephant; Paris.
Cannot Give 1t AWAY

Paris, Dec. 24.-Nobody wants the
Pershing stadium. The city of Paris
cannot give it away. The Union of
Federation of Sporting Societies, to
whom the municipal council offered the
stadium recently, refused to accept it
unless the city guaranteed the 100000
francs necessary for its yearly upkeep.
This the city is not prepared to do.
The municipal council now has offered
Pershing stadium to the Sporting Fed
Grafton of the Labor Unions.

SAMMY GORDON, BUTTE FEArHERwEIeHr

Kramer in Los Angeles. After losing
to Gordon, Kramer went east to Phil
adelphia to box under the management
of Phil G1assman, who handles Lew
Tender and other great fighters.
Kramer beat everyone that was pitted
against him and then came back to the
Pacific slope. He hasn't lost a start
since then.
Gordon has no fear of Dandy Dill
Ions powers. What Dillon has accom-
plished in the middle west Gordon has
accomplished on the coast. That is
making it mighty tough for all Of the
really good fighters and beating those
that are claiming the right to meet the
champions.

The intersectional games this win
ter lose much of the interest of former

fornia team, coast conference cham

that as California had represented the
coast in intersectional games for two
years past, it would be an imposition
on the players to ask them to give up
another holiday vacation to football.

in a very tactful manner. He is un- derstood to be hearty supporter of the St. Lawrence waterways pro- ject, but is forced to move slowly be- cause of oposition from Eastern Canada, particularly in the city of Montreal, which, like New York, be- lieyes the project will lessen it's bus mess and prestige. On the other hand, central and Western Canada are very strong for the waterways, just as the West and Middle West of the United States are in favor of them. ,
 To offset Eastern opposition Mac Kenzie-King plans, according to ap- parently reliable information here, to name some outstanding leader, with a following in Eastern Canada, as the first Minister to Washington. Among those said to be regarded with favor are the Hon. .Rodolph Lemieux, formerly prominent in the Laurier Cabinet, and Sir Gouin Lo- mer, former Governor of Quebec.

SHARK FISHING IS IMPORTANT
 INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, 16.-Shark fishing can be made an important industry in this country in the opinion of of ficia1s of the Bureau of Fisheries There are many uses to which various parts of the dreaded "man-killers" can be put and at a profit to the fisher men.
 Former Secretary of Commerce Red field gave prominence during the war days to shoes made of shark skin and it is stated that leather from this skin is as good as that from beef hides. It's use is confined not alone to shoe manufacture, but to the making of other Heather" goods.
 tisement during the war, but the Fish cries Bureau holds that the shark flesh, dried or smoked, also can bring good price per ton as fertilizer. Shark liver oil, crude, also is used commercially, while the body oil, pre- pared by boiling the flesh, also is val uable The shark also carries a delieacy for the Oriental It is the fin, or rath- CT certain of the fins. These are de- nuded of the flesh and dried. Later Trays" of the fins are separated, soaked in water and cut up for use in soup In Hongkong it is stated that the best restaurants charge as much as $2.50 gold for cup of soup made from the first class fins.
 So the Bureau of Fisheries and those who kill sharks are losing money when they fail to make shark fins part of their business. Along the California coast it has been the custom of fish ermen and sportsmen catching sharks to kill them and turn the carcasses adrift as useless. et - 5s.t
 The market price of the dried fins of good size is as high as 65 and 75 cents per pound, but range much lower when the fins are carelessly trimmed or cured. In the Philippines it is the custom to salt down the fins or powder with lime before drying.

PEVEHOUSE WILL TEACH
CARLISLE SCHOOL NEXT TERM

We are very glad TO have noticed
the following item among the Car
isle happenings in a recent issue
of the Avalanche:
The trustees were fortunate
enough to employ W. 2. Pevehouse
as principal for another year"
It has been our good fortune TO
have known Mr.. Pevehouse and the
work he has been doing for some
time, and il is gratifying indeed to
know that he will have charge Of
the Carlisle school another term. He
has been a leading character in the
community, and has several splen-
did achievements 20 his credit.
The Carlisle school, under his d.
rection, has made wonderful prog
ress in every department, and we
are sure the things he will do
another term will even eclipse the
past term.
The Avalanche is very much in
favor Of the county schools Of Lub-
book being handled by instructors
who are known TO the people Of the
community TO be worthy Of their
confidence, and Mr.. Pevehouse GER
tainly fits up well with that quail
ficatiOn.

FARMER SERIOUSLY HURT
BY FALL FROM HORSE

Christy Lane, one of Lubbock
county's leading farmers, is in a
local hospital suffering with >hrok-
en- hip bone, received when he fell
from horse Monday.
Mr.. Lane had released the team
from the pillow, and got upon one Of
the horses 70 ride il TO the house,
when a mule composing part Of the
team became frightened and at
tempted 20 get away. This caused
the animal he was on TO make a
leap forward, and as Mr.. Lane had
not gotten balanced, fell 20 the
ground, with the above results.
A typical westerner Of the hale
and hearty type who had rather do
anything else in the world than re-
main in bed while the weeds on his
farm are making rapid growth, Mr..
Lane is a little impatient. He de.
sires very much TO release himself
of the bandages in which he was
placed, and get back TO the active,
busy life he has known, but the
doctors look nj II n little different,
and IL will be several days before
he may be out again.

One Of the most important land
transactions that has been brought
about In this section for many days,
was made the first Of this week
when the Charles FINLEY lands,
about six sections, were sold 30 W.
N. Crawford, O. l.. Slaton, =. {.
Mccoy, L. c. Denton, I. b. Dug
gan, +. NJ. Jones, Duncan & Perry,
and w. A. Bacon.
The land is situated south of
Lubbock, beginning two miles from
the city limits, and is to be placed
in cultivation, and cut up into small
farms this fall.
The fact that this is another step
forward in developing the plains Of
Texas, looks mighty encouraging TO
us. II the Lubbock trade territory,
with less than seven percent OF
the tillable lands in cultivation,
would maintain the splendid town
Lubbock is today, what would the
town be If the cultivated area
should reach seventy percent?
We believe that when the farmer
has had time 10 make a showing on
the plains adjacent to Lubbock, the
trade this city will receive through
his patronage will be an immense
industrial showing. We believe that
Lubbock will grow beyond the fond
est hopes or greatest expectations Of
her most optimistic citizens, and We
think it will be a show worth while.
r. r. Riddle, brother of Mrs.
FINLEY, was here to close the trans
action, and expressed the idea that
the land will be worth many times
its present value when placed in
cultivation.
He is mayor Of Lynn Haven, Fla,
n very progressive citizen IN every
manner, and expressed great conf
dence in the future development Of
the plains. Mrs. FINLEY lives at
Beaver Crossing, Nebraska, and Mr.
Riddle left Immediately after the
deal was closed for that place TO
confer with her in regard TO the
disposal Of other property.
The history Of Mr.. Tinley's pos
session of that land would make
anyone sit up and take notice of
the possibilities of the plains. About
forty years ago he purchased the
land at the then very exhorbitant
and unheard of high price Of about
one hundred dollars per section, the
taxes having been kept up since
that time by the return on the lease
of the land to cattlemen, and it
sold for a little more than one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars, which shows there is something
to acquiring a little property and
staying with It.
There are still such opportunities
on the plains Of Texas, and we are
of the opinion that the young man
who gets his hand on a little land
here now will be even more for

BUSINESS IN TEXAS
SHOWS DEVELOPMENT

Dallas, Texas, June 90 Long dis
lance telephone toll calls In Texas
for the month Of May show an in
crease Of 90 per cent over May last
year
+. VI. Hoag, general manager Of
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company. referring 20 this, said:
"As a business barometer this re-
cord Is significant. Toll call records
have long been considered as a
Trustworthy recorder Of broad and
general commercial movements or
trends. These records, as shown by
the telephone toll charts, undoubt-
eddy indicate business improvements
in Texas. The April figures for
toll calls show a 3.75 per cent gain
over April 1921, as compared with
the 90 per cent record for May.
which would indicate that better
business conditions are gaining in
momentum.
The volume of telephone toll bust
ness is a Trustworthy business baro-
meter, principally because Of the fact
that the telephone itself Is an essen
tial part of every modern business
concern. Business cannot be con-
Quoted without it. When business
prospers the number Of toll calls in
creases; when business is depressed,
toll calls decrease. The normal
telephone curve, Of course is an as
sending curve, because the demand
for service is continually increasing,
due to the growth Of stations as
well as service.

was here looking after business con-
corning this deal, and in conversa-
ton with the Avalanche represent
ative stated that they were planning
20 spend quite a large sum Of money
improving their property az Lubbock.
They look upon Lubbock Is one Of
the most important points in the
state, and will equip their plant 20
take care Of big business. They do
a strictly wholesale business, and the
splindid railroad facilities out Of
Lubbock will enable them 90 cover
a very large territory.
The wholesalers in every line
have their eyes on Lubbock. II il the
logical place from which 20 take care
Of the business Of fifteen or twenty
counties in Texas besides a large
portion Of Eastern New Mexico,
hence its very great importance as
a wholesale center
As stated above this company Is
composed Of some OF the strongest
people from financial standpoint
in America, and no doubt they have
figured this proposition out to
gnat's bristle before they invested
their money in property here This
is true Of many other wholesale firms
who are contemplating making Lub-
book a distributing point for this
large territory, and no doubt within
the next six months there will be
twice the number Of wholesale es-
Establishments here than we have
now. This Of course depends largely
upon what consideration we get
from the railroad commission on re-
duction Of the rates TO Lubbock,
which is now before them for con-
sideration.

CALAMITY HoWLERs WILL
THRIVE ON THIS-NiX

What have we to be proud Of in
Lubbock?
Well, that may seem like very
peculiar question, and may seem out
Of place, but IL is question that
every loyal citizen of this city
should answer 10 himself, and we
are sure that a complete survey Of
conditions will convince one that
we have many favorable answers 10
give to that question. What this ar
ticle is dealing with is that the Bar
rier Brothers Store received letter
recently that will convince one of
the fact that we have something Of
which TO be proud Of in our bust
ness enterprises.
We are not using the name signed
to this letter, as the party who
wrote il has not been questioned
about the right to publish IL, and
we would not wish to give her
publicity without first getting her
consent.
The letter is as follows, and in
our estimation is enough said as
regards the willingness Of our mer-
chants to keep merchandise marked
just as low as legitimate business
principle viii allow:
II am returning shoes. They are
too large. I'm very sorry because
/ had to pay about 81 more for a
pair like them in Austin. Please
send my check to me here"
The writer Of the letter bought
the shoes at Barrier Brothers before
leaving for Austin.
