DAYTON DREDGE WILL
DISCONTINUE SOON

Confirming rumors which have been
afloat for some time that the placer
area which has been under exploita-
ton by the Gold Canyon Dredge Com
pany has been worked out, the Journ-
al yesterday was advised by General
Bulkeley Wells that these operations
woul be discontinued on the first of the
month.
1t is stated that there is no more
ground in the holdings of the company
which can be profitably worked.
The dredge will be dismanteled and
moved elsewhere.

Tree Planting In Ma..aehu.ett,.

Massachusetts, will have the big
gest tree planting bee In its history
this spring when 100000 pines and
spruces are set out by cities. towns
and private citizens on wnste land.
Most Of the young trees will be sold
at nominal cost by the state.
''There has been decided awaken.
ing In Massachusetts, to the need Of
forest conservation" said Chief For.
ester H. o. Cook recently. I'm the
state nurseries. in which we raise
pines and spruces, we have 100000
trees Of the best age for transplanting.
There Is such an increased interest In
this subject that we expect to pro-
duce trsnsplantable trees In our
nurseries at rate In excess OF 4.00O.-
100 annually"
The lowest estimated cost of the for
est paintings Ii two cents for each
little troe. The entire cost probably
will exceed $4,000. In 80 years the
trees should be worth 100000.

Williams On Tn
Mexicali Bout;
COachella Card

Harry Woodbury., manager Of
Kid Williams, claiming the light
heavyweight championship of I'm
perial Valley, has signed articles
for his protege to meet one of three
men with whom Captafn Stevens,
promoter of the Eden Airdome at
MeXicali, is at present negotiating
The three men are Sailor Petroskey,
who has twice fought for the
world 8 light heavyweight cham
pionship; Louis Alvarada, pro
missing Southern California heavy
weight, and Ray Neal, who has the
longest string of knockouts of any
fighter on the Pacific Coast.
Woodbury. will have battlers in
the ring at Coachella next Tuesday
night, when the American Legion
post of the northern town, plans
to put on another boxing card.
Woodbury. will take along either
Battling Doty, promising 140

lv Ketchell, or K. o. MOha. One of
these boys will appear against
" Happy jack of Arizona fame,
in the main event. Kid Jackson of
El Centre will take on Joe Mexico
in the semi-final
Reports in n valley paper to the
effect that Williams fouled Young
Hippo at Coachella last week, were
laughed at by Woodbury., who says
his man won a clcan-cut victory by
the knockout route. Proof of this
is shown by the fact that Williams
stayed in the ring and put on two
exhibition bouts, whereas he would
have been put out of the ring had
he foulcd his opponent.

FARRELL. DOUBTS
DUNDE.IE5,'S ABILITY
TO WHIP CHAMP
By HENRY L. FARRELL,

NEW YORK, July 25.-Bcnnv
Leonard having proved that brains,
speed of hand and foot are better
than rugged strength and endur-
ance, Johnny Dundee will try to
DO the same thing tomorrow night
whl\ he attempts to take the
world S featherweight championship
from Eugene Criqui the French war
hero.
While the theory may be sound
in one case, Dundee has not the
tools to work with that are possess
ed by the brilliant lightweight
champion and some of the experts
believe that the remarkable little
Italian fighter will need more in
his fists than he holds.
Regardless Of the fact that New
York has paid out close to 100000
in less than two weeks to boxing,
great interest is being shown in
the featherwcight championship
bout and if the weather changes
and is more favorable, Tom o.
Rourke may be able-to make some
money on the show.
Dundee probably will enter the
ring n favorite in the betting
through sentimental reasons. With
the exception of Il good right hand
punch that he showed in knocking
out Kilbme and a game heart that
kept him plodding on and on when
KiIbane was making q monkey of
him in the frs rounds, little is
known Of the real ability of the
Frcnchman.
He has an imposing list Of knock
outs and he was able to take XII
bane S punches, and as Dundee has
never been q deadly hitter it might
follow that he would be able 10
take punches in this fight.
Dundee is no chicken. lie is well
along and has been through more
than 90 fights. The question of
weight is Il big factor in figuring
Dundee s chances and it will not
bother Criqui at all. Dundee look
cd drawn when he made 130 pounds
for Jack Bernstein and he lacked
his old dynamic style. He seemed
to have very little to go on. The
job of making f26 pounds, it stands
to reason, Will not make him any
better.

GREAT AREAS STILL
UNDEVELOPED

This question is answered by on
examination of the accompanying
map showing the land and water
transportation facilities of the world
and noting the enormous land areas
yet awaiting transportation facilities,
to enable them to send their possible
products to the waters edge where a
now plentiful supply of steamships
will be available to carry them across
the ocean to the sections Of the world
which do not produce enough Tor
their own requirements. 1t will be
seen that the interior areas of four
of the six grand divisions of the
world, South America, Africa, Asia
and Australia, are yet lacking in
railway facilities to enable them to
move their possible products to the
waters edge. The shipbuildng ac-
tivities of the war and the years which
immediately followed it have given to
the world ample facilities for teams
porting merchandise on the oceans,
but railway construction has been
practically suspended since the be-
ginning of the war and when we cx-
anime the maps of the continents
above named it is apparent that they
h4ve within their respective interiors
enormous producing areas which
have no facilities for moving their
products or possible products to the
waters edge.
South America, for instance, with
an area of 100000 square miles has
but $4,000 miles of railway while the
United States with an area less than
half that of South America has 2S2.-
600 miles. Africa, with an area of
100000 square miles has but 81
600 miles of railway, while Europe
with an area one-third as much as
that of Africa has $4,000 miles of
road Asia, with an area more than
five times that of the United States,
has less than one-third as much rail-

!r- fi.e consuming world in the i'm
Eee}.s:c future. The number of
r3e.z1hs which must be fed and bod
les which must be clothed goes on i'll
crcasiaE at an appalling speed. World
population, which was estimated at
7200IQ,G&G i'll 1920, was 1,830,000000
in 1925. having thus increased $3.50
~ the single century. The actual in
crease III numbers in the first twenty
years of the century under considera-
ton was 170,000,000 and in The clcs-
ing twenty years of the century
287 100000, Notwithstanding the fact
that the recent twenty year period
includes the greatest war that the
world has ever known.
Should the present rate Of increase
continue, the worlds population by
1850 would approximate 2,25O,000,-
300, or nearly ESQ more than at the
present time. When we find that the
present world production Of the great
food and clothing staples, wheat,
corn, rye, potatoes, sugar, cotton,
wool and fibres, is in practically every
instance less than that of the years
Immediately preceding the war, we
involuntarily wonder where the world
is to obtain the necessary quantity
of food and clothing that the in
creased population of the near future
will demand.
