CKARD PICKS ANOTHER PROTEGE FROM PAMPAS
HEAVY RAINFALL
MAY CAUSE DELAY
OF FIRPO FIGHT

BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 23.-Wet
grounds today again threatened a
postponement of the heavyweight
contest between Luis Angel Firpo,
south American champion, and
Farmer Lodge Of the United States
The football field where the con
test Is to be held, is on low ground
and is flooded, and if there is any
more rainfall the contest will have
to be put over again.
flrpo s inSistence that the pro
moters "get it over with will
cause the fight to be staged if there
IS any possible chance.
After an extra week of training
Firpo seemed in better physical and
mental condition. He pulled out his
trunks, showing plenty of extra
beltage and said that he had reduc-
ed ten pounds since last Saturday.
"1'll weight about 21S pounds when
| get in the ring he said. Firpo
seems more concerned about the ne
gotiations for the Wills fight than
he does in Lodge. The public also
seems to be looking on the Ameri-
can only as the necessary second
party to the fight.
Firpo said he would make no more
concessions to the New York syndi-
cate which made him an offer of
$250,000 to fight Wills.
"Unless the syndicate agrees to
deposit a forfeit of $4,000 in q
Buenos Aires bank it will surely
lose. the Firpo-Wills fight" Hugh
Garland, Firpo's business agen:
said.
The fight will not be postponed
unless there is more rain today
which is considered unlikely, state
ment from Firpo's headquarters
said.

ROADS BAD CONDITION
Snow Drifts in Many Places
Halt Traffic on Wheels
Not Even Shedding.

The conditions of the highways
throughout the county at present
is simply shameful, and there
seems to be no help in sight from
the state, county or town for the
betterment of conditions.
Snowdrifts now stop wheeled
traffic; bare portions of the high
ways stop the usage of sleds
nothing can be hauled and traffic
is at a standstill until either an
other snow places the roads in con-
dition for sleds; or the drifts melt
away and permit wheeling.
This is the situation. The coun-
ty and many of the towns have
machinery fitted for the clearing
away the drifted portions of the
highways now impossible for cars
or wagons. With a crew of men
and machinery the drifts can be
easily be broken and open up the
highways. 1t will cost very little
and should be done. Just the
other night a physician was called
ten miles out in the country on
serious case. He was compelled
to use two different vehicles in
making the trip and at great hard
ship to himself, the men who were
hauling him, and to the mother
whose life was in grave danger
The highway laws are peculiar;
make it mandatory to keep the
highways in perfect condition dur
ing the summer months for traf-
fc; in the winter there is nothing
done unless the town or individ-
uals take it into their own hands
and supply a track for the public
Villas county with it's road ma
chinery and men certainly could
afford to open main highways
right now and give to the public
open highways in order that bust
ness may be kept at capacity. If
the county dare not use the ma
chlnery to open the highways on
account of lack of funds, then
there is a lame duck somewhere in
the maintenance of our system of
state highways.
Resorts and other business are
being held back at a loss on ac-
count of impossible highways
which can be opened at a very
little cost to the taxpayer. And
without a doubt there would be
no kicking if crews were put to
work opening up those portions
now impossible.
