VAUDEVILLE AT IDAHO

Manager Kenworthy of the Idaho
theatre announces that he has con-
cluded contract with the Bert Levey
circuit of San Francisco, California,
whereby the road shows of this we'll
known circuit will appear at the

These road shows comprise four Sc
lected acts of diversified vaudeville,
with no confliction in style, who
travel as a company from Cricago to
the Pacific coast and return, making
about twenty weeks of playing time
This should be cheerful news to
lovers of comedy and novelty in par
ticular and pleasing depression from
constant pictures.
The four acts will be given in con-
junction with pictures and will there
by constitute liberal evenings en-
tertainment.
Extensive improvements on the
Idaho are being completed, including
new doors, with French windows, a
new stairway and repainting and de-
corating throughout. Before the first
of September the stage will be re-
built in order to accommodate the

III. OF |. WEATHER MAN
BACK FROM TRIP EAST

Professor F. l.. Burxhart, field
agronomist at the University of Ida
ho, arrived at home Thursday from
Chicago, his former home, where he
had been spending six weeks of his
vacation. He made the trip east over
the Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul,
and returned west over the Great
Northern, so did not pass through
Kansas and others of the leading
wheat producing states of the middle
west, and did not find crop con
ditions as favorable in the states
through which he passed as he had
expected. Coming west through the
Dakotas and Montana, he said he
found vegetation about six weeks
late because of the cold, dry spring
Along part of the way the corn was
just coming up, because of late
planting and cold weather. The crop
conditions, he said, were in strong
contrast to the conditions west of the
Rockies
Mr.. Burkhart states that Chicago
is booming, especially in the con-
struction line, and that money is be-
ing spent lavishly Men are scarce
in the building trades and one of the
interesting things is the amount of
work that is being done by machin-
cry. He said that excavating, con-
crete mixing and many things which
were formerly done by man power,
are now done by machinery Even
the excavating for small buildings is
being done with steam shovels.
Mr.. Burkhart is in charge Of the
weather bureau at the University of
Idaho, and will issue a report on the
precipitation for the past three
months, which will be published in

Willard GOES
OUT in eighth
MAN FROM THE ARGENTINE TOO
MUCH FOR BIG FELLOW-MUST
NOW BATTLE DEMPSEY

Jersey City, N ia. P.)-Jess
Willard, the man-mountain from
Kansas, went back to fistic oblivion
tonight but he staged the last, though
futile act of his comeback before {
vast throng of more than 100000, the
greatest in ring history, that filled
Boyle's Thirty Acres to overflowing
Luis Angel Firpo, the dark-brown-
ed mauler from the Argentine, closed
the door to Willard's attempted re-
turn to fistic fame by knocking out
the giant former champion in the
eighth round of slashing battle
one of the greatest in recent heavy
weight history. incidentally he
reached the goal at which he has
aimed for the past year of his met
eoric rise to prominence match
for the title with Jack Dempsey.
There was no question Of the
superiority of the brilliant Argentine
battAer tonight Willard's superior
weight, height and reach enabled the
big Kansan to check Firpo's rushing
attacks in most Of the early rounds
but despite the Americans gameness
under fire, the tide of battle swung
inevitably in favor of the younger,
more rugged fighter.
Last Opens Slowly
The round opened slowly. They
spared at long range and there was
little hint that the end was near. But
suddenly FirpO unleashed savage
drive to Willard's head and body.
The fury of that attack had never
before failed to bring down the
South Americans QUARRY, and big
Jess, despite his towering size and
stamina, wilted Step by step Will
lard gave ground trying almost blind
his head and body. Backed up
against the ropes his head sank, then
a right shot to the head sent him to
his knees. He reeled as Referee Har
ry Lewis started counting. shaking
his head and trying to lift himself
up but the waning strength in that
great bulk was unequal to the task
and he sank into the arms of his
handlers at the final count.
Match FfrpO and Dempsey
Tex Rickard said tonight he prob
ably would begin negotiations as soon
as possible to match Luis Angel Firpo
with Jack Dempsey for a title match,
either in September or October.
Rickard has Firpo under contract
to meet Dempsey and will confer with
Jack Kearns, the title holders man
ager, in the near future.
General opinion is that Rickard
will choose the site OF tonight's fight
for his next championship venture.
Kearns was at the ringside tonight
and declared his readiness to efgn for
a Firpo match if his terms are met.
Just what these are, he did not re-
veal.
