TO FIGHT IN CHICAGO.
(By Dispatch A. 2. Wirel

CHICAGO, June 23-Boxing circles
here were mystified today by reports
from New York that Tex Richard,
failing to get approval in New York
of his Dempsey -Tunney match for
September 16, was dickering with some
Chicag& promoter perhaps to stage
the match here.
Chairman Huncke of the Illinois
Athletic commission said he had re-
ceived no application from Richard
or anyone associated with him for APP
prevail of a Dempsey Tunney match
and declined to say whether the com,
mission might look favorably upon
such contest in Illinois until some
proposal was received
Jim Mullen, lessor of both major
league baseball parks here, said he
had heard nothing of a plan by Rick
ard to bring the fight here

Make Hats Too Big
Like most big Ieaguers, Nick took
a whirl at the minors before he was
willing to admit that he was through.
Taking a berth with a club in the
American Association, he pitched with
varying success. Some days he was
very good and on others very bad.
Mostly bad" says Nick.
In a certain game in which the OPP
position made SO many runs that the
official scorer was forced to summon
help to keep the figures straight, Mel.
decided he was through and make
known his intention of quitting the
game for all time.
The manager of the club, fond of
Nick, tried his best to have him re-
consider his decision to retire.
IF you can give me one good rea-
son for quitting, I will accept your
resignation" he told Altrock.
That's easy" replied Nick, "the
bats are simply too big. cant throw
that little ball past them"
The resignation was accepted.
Woe for Umpires
Altrock, always smart pitcher
made plenty of trouble for the UNI
pires, despite the fact that he seldom
protested a ruling.
Like Walter Johnson, Nick was con-
tent to let the umpire do the umpir-
ing while he took care of the pitch
ing. 1t was Nick's near alk movement
that caused. all the woe for the arbi-
traitors.
Altrock is generally given credit

1t doesn't always pay to be too Sc
rious in sport.
Take the case of our old friend,
Nick Altrock, for instance.
Back in 1906, smiling Nick, rated
one of the very best southpaws in the
majors, received in the neighborhood
of $4,000 for his services.
Today, Nick Altrock, as a member
of the team of baseball comedians of
Altrock and Schacht, receives much
in excess of that amount.
When Altrock's arm went back on
him, he turned from the serious pro-
fession of winning ball games as a
pitcher to Glowing, and got away
with it.
Fortunate in possessing a keen sense
of humor Nick was even able to get

"The Great | Am"

1t is reported that the Mayor
of Newark, in his wisdom has
decided to ignore the recommen-
dations Of the Civil Service
Commission of the State of
Ohio, and to regard it merely
as a minor criticism and not be
bothered by any suggestions
they might make"
1t is alleged he claims the
State Commission was created
without authority and has no
power of removal, but can mere
ly make recommendations.
He is further alleged to have
said "If there are to be remov-
ais in the Newark Commission,
/ will hear these charges, and |
will determine the sufficiency of
the cause of complaint"
He's there with a big |.

The Boosting Business

Do you know there's lots of people
Sitting round most every town,
Growing like a broody chicken,
knocking every good thing down.
Don't be that kind of cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth,
But just be a Booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're worth
If your town needs boostin' boost hel
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin'
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things don't seem to suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep the horn a-blowing!
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project go,
An you can boost it up a trifle,
That's your cue to let him know
That's you're not going to knock it
Just because it amt your shout
But that you're going to boost a little
Cause he's got the best thing out.

A Jolly Good Fellow

Charlie Dean, our good friend
the restaurateur, who not long
ago felt constrained to again
take charge of the business at
his old stand on the south side,
which had not improved so you
could notice it by passing
through several managements
since he last let go of it, has as
usual again built up a smashing
business.
Some people wonder why
Charlie never fails to bring or
der and success out of chaos.
Perhaps the old familiar lines
may give the answer:
"For he's a jolly good fellow
Which nobody will deny"
And he is a good fellow in ev-
cry sense of the word, always
ready to help a man when assist
ance is needed. Just the other
day while the "Hired Man" was
getting outside of one of his ex-
cellent dinners, a "down and out
er" came in and tackled Mr..
Dean for a meal. The poor un-
fortunate was seated and before
he had fairly started on his
meal, another of the same stripe,
on a similar errand was also
seated and fed.
This is merely an instance of
how Charles helping hand is
ever extended to everybody
rich and poor, high and low
alike, and may in part explain
why his friends are legion, and
why his enterprises end sue
cessfully.

This May Hit You

Kirby Dickerson, the insur-
ance man, prints the following
optimistic jingle on his business
card:
Sometimes in this old world of ours
You feel trifle blue;
But when the dark cloud scatter
And sunshine filters through,
You'll find a ray that's shining
Just especially for you.
It's worth reading, it may
carry a message which hits your
case to a T.

Pretty Tough

According to stories in the
Wednesday dailies Officer Will
liam Burton has got into a pretty
tough scrape. 1t is stated affi-
davits have been filed charging
him and woman living on Gay
street with contributing toward
the delinquency of a sixteen
year-old girl "by enticing, induc-
ing and persuading a minor to
leave home without consent of
her parents and by engaging in
improper conduct in the pres
ence of the minor"
1t is alleged that Patrolman
Burton and the woman persuad-
ed the girl to accompany them
to Columbus, but their actions
after arriving there caused her
to fear for her safety and she
decided to return to Newark,
and that Burton bought a ticket
and put her on a car. Here she
met deputy sheriffs Foulke and
Mercer, who were returning
from Chillicothe, and to them
she told the story.
This happened on Monday and
the affidavit was filed in juven-
lie court Wednesday. The pen
atty for the offense charged is
from $40 to $1,000 fine and i'm
prisonment from ten days to
one year-either or both.

"Haphazard Methods"

A lengthy report from the
State Civil Service Commission
received by Attorney J. r. Fitz-
gibbon states that his charges Of
illegal and irregular proceedings
on the part of the Newark Civil
Service Commission have been
sustained.
The method of running things
by the local board is severely
scored-special attention being
called to law violations in a num-
Der of instances, among them
being the appointement of Will
liam Perkins as assistant fire
chief, contrary to the require
ment that a promoted officer
must have had at least three
months employment in the sta
tion next below the one to which
he is advanced. The Civil Serv-
ice Commission is also criticised
for not at once setting down it's
foot and notifying the Safety Di-
rector that the appointment
could not be confirmed.
1t is stated that the commits
sion has been guilty of violating
its own rule requiring physical
examinations authorizing the ap-
pointment of applicants for posi-
| tionS.
The habit of the Mayor of
nibbing in on matters in which
he has no authority is thus COM
mented upon: Testimony show
ed that fifteen minutes after ex-
animation had been in progress
the Mayor of the city of New
ark came into the room with new
sets of questions, which were
substituted for the questions
which had already been distrib-
uted. That neither the commits
sion nor secretary and chief ex-
aminer approved of the ques-
tions submitted, yet permitted
him to incorporate them in the
examination. All of which is in
violation of Sec. 6 or Rule Ill.
The Mayor has usurped duties
which belong to the commits
sioners. From the evidence the
municipal commission has will
fully failed to properly perform
it's duties as such commission"
In another place the report
goes on to say: "The commits
sion should be severely criticised
for such haphazard method of
conducting it's examinations
which should be held above any
possible suspicion of fraud or
deception and such could not
possibly be the case in permit
ting outsiders, which even in
some cases included the ap-
pointing authority to be pres
ent."
Some of the city officials are
unanimous in the opinion that if
the Mayor would confine his at
tention to affairs legally under
his direction and control, mat
ters would sail along much
smoother and less discord and
friction would arise in the mu-
nicipal family circle.

Hyder weekly herald., 1926-04-21

Ernest Bryson made a trip up Texas Creek this week to de- termine trail conditions and packing possibilities, with a view to taking in an outfit to the Hyder Lead Mines prop critics. Although there is still considerable snow along the upper reaches of the trail, the lower section was found fair ly clear and needing only small amount of work to make it passable for pack animals. The snow in the upper valley is still 4 or 5 feet deep but is badly rotted and will probably disappear soon.
 Including the Hyder Lead company, there will probably be ten or a dozen outfits at work along the west fork this season and several property owners are said to be figuring on making small shipments to determine the possibilities for small scale operations. Among the number who are planning summer activities in that sect ion are Connors and McVey, Hewitt and Carlson, John Fer guson, Malcolm Smith, N. H. Stevens and associates, Hyder Lead Mines, Inc, Paul Meger, Dominick Bevacqua, Hummel, Mross and Blasher, Jack Davis, Joe Dugas. Thornton and Lem mons. It is reported from the outside that Day Bros, owners of the IbeX group, are plan ming some work on that prop erty.

TOWNSITERS WANT
 FLOOD PROTECTION

Hyder townsite residents are displaying excellent foresight by circulating petition ad- dressed to Townsite Trustee J. A. Ramsey, requesting that funds derived from the sale of lots in the townsite area be devoted to river protection, rather than to sidewalks and other improvements of similar character within the townsite. Expressions of sentiment by residents indicate that protect ion against encroachment by the river is considered the most important need of that section, as we'll as the remain der of the town. About $500 is now in the hands of the Trustee which can be devoted to this highly beneficent ob- ject. This is far from enough to overcome the flood danger, but it is hoped to secure ad- ditional funds from the forest service bureau and other sources to extend the present jetty far enough to prov de safety against ordinary floods; at least until such time as the government can be persuaded to do something.

FOREST SERVICE TO
 EXTEND LOCAL ROAD

Two local projects, involving the construction of 3.32 miles of new road between the ,cem- etery and the end of the recon- structed Salmon River high way at Fish Creek, and the surfacing of 2.37 miles of the new road constructed last year, are included in the For est Service roads program this year, according to recent an, nouncement by District For ester c. H. Flory. The work will be done by contract, for which bids will be called for by the Bureau of Public Roads.
 Twelve projects, involving the expenditure of $436, 6,600 of federal and $27,775 of Terri torial funds, are included in the 1926-27 road construction pro- gram. In addition to the two Hyder projects, the program calls for the construction of a bridge across Mendenhall Riv- CT, reconstruction of the Duck CreekLTee Harbor section of the Glacier Highway, near Juneau, including new bridges over Duck Creek, the outlet of Aux Lake and widening of several others. A new bridge will also be built over Gold Creek in the same section.
 Considerable work has been authorized for the Ketchikan district, including surfacing and reconditioning of about 61a miles of the Ketchikan- Ward Cove road, new con- struction on the Saxman- Mountain Point road, author ized last year, and the exten- sion of another section to Mountain Point. A new 1-mile road will also be built out of Wrangell from the beach to Virginia Lake, in addition to other construction and surfac- ing.

CONFIRMS TRAM
 PURCHASE BY DUNWELL

A. B. Wing representative o1 the B. c. Equipment Co. of Vancouver, dealers in mining supplies, has been a visitor in camp during the eek and con firms recent reports to the ef- feet that the Dunwell company has purchased intact the three mile tram of the Boucher ue Boule mine in the Hazelton district for use at the Dunwell mine. MT. Wing states that the sale was made by his com pany, and includes not only the tram of the noted old mine, but also variety of other equipment, all of which will be probably brought to Stew art, as soon as conditions per- init.
 Recent Vancouver reports say the Dunwell directors are making preparations for the installation of the projected 100-ton mill and power plant and have secured the services of Floyd c. White, San Fran cisco mining engineer, whu was at one time in charge of the old Portland Canal mill, who will have charge of the work.

FISH CREEK
 TRAM PROPOSAL

That the development of the American Mining & Milling Company Fish Creek-Riverside tramway proposal may be considered a likely eventuality of the near future is the opin- ion expressed by MT. J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, who returned this week from an extended business trip in the States.
 MT. Hall states that the pro- posal had not reached the stage of definite project when he left Seattle but was being seriously considered by the A. M. 6 M officials and J. D. Littlepage of the River side mine. In fact MT. Hall was himself instrumental in bringing the parties, together in the first instance.
 MT. Hall says that while the tram installation proposal has as it's ultimate object the con- veyance of ore from Fish Creek, a more immediate ob- jective is the. transportation of supplies and equipment. The company officials are of the view that the proposed install lation will save many thou sands of dollars in haulage costs, in addition to permitting shipments of ore to the River side mill for reduction. That this view is not unwarranted has been demonstrated by the experience of the Mountain view Gold Mining Company, which saved a large amount of money last year by installing a tram to handle supplies and machinery between it's Fish Creek holdings and Salmon river road.
