Taylor Wins On
Flukey Knockout

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 25.-CP-Bud
Taylor, bantamweight champion,
added a flukey knockout victory to
mis- string last night when Phil
Zwick Of Cleveland took a long
count without intending to.
A Taylor left spilled Zwick in the
second round of a scheduled 10
round fight. Zwick seemed unhurt
and knelt in readiness to spring
back to the attack at the count of
SHINE" While the referee was
counting. Zwick glanced toward his
corner for advice. and in so doing
apparently lost track Of the count.
When ten" was pronounced he was
still on his knee, though seemingly
in no distress.
Taylor had q point advantage in
what fighting there was, scoring
with lefts to head and body Zwick,
however, had been aggressive, twice
cracking Bud on the chin with a
right and driving the titleholder to
the ropes.

WILLACY ROAD
MEET CALLED
Citizens See Reason
For Delay in Hi-.-
way Building

RAYMONDvILLE, Jan. Is. - A
countrywide mass meeting Of the
people of Willacy county has been
called for next Friday night here at
the high school auditorium, at which
time speakers will elaborate upon
the subject Of "What has been done,
what is being done and what must
be done" to get the north and south
highway through Willacy county.
The call has been issued by the Will
lacy county good roads committee.
Among the speakers announced for
the occasion r Judge W. o.. Hug
gins of Houston, president Of the
Gulf Coast Good Roads association,
and County Judge Oscar G. Dancy
Of Cameron county. Besides these
it is expected that several local
speakers will be on the program.
The question of constructing this
road has been before the people for
some time, but so far no definite
action has been taken except in that
portion extending from the south
county line to Raymondville. The
dirt work and culverts have been
built on this portion and as soon as
the dirt has settled sufficiently this
section Of the road will be hard
surfaced with concrete.
III the road is continued north
from Raymondville, some action will
have to be taken to get it through
Kennedy county. IL Is stated the
ranchmen are opposed to the high
way passing through that county.
and there is talk Of forcing the
building of the road by condemna-
ton proceedings.
A road district comprising sew
eral contiguous counties has been
suggested to finance the road
through Kennedy county.

ANOTHER BOOST FOR ALASKA LIGNIrE

Scientific research again has found means to utilize the Ignite and sub bituminous coals in manner that places them above btumnous and anthracite in heat pro dcng qualities which that the possibilities for use of the great deposits of Ignite and sub btumnous coas m central Alaska tributary to the Alaska Railroad are en- arged almost beyond calculation This new method is in addition to the Bergius process of qufcaton and dis tlaton of Ignite and sub bitumnous field which Ger man producers have entered with an expenditure of many millions of dollars and output of gasoline and other byproducs sufficient to make Germany independent of the rest of the world in these commodities
 The United States Shipping Board has just finished test of pulverized Ignite and sub bitumnous coas on the big frelghter Mercer in trip the Atlantic and back, with results that are more than gratifying.
 These coals ground and pulverized aboard ship and the puvezed powder fed into the furnaces of the boilers under pressure the same as fuel oil.
 The heat produced at all times up to the highest demands, without hitch difficulty of any kind
 In the round trip, the average consumption was 1.3 pounds to the horse power per hour The good grades bituminous and anthracite coas take an average of pounds to the horse power per hour
 detailed account of these tests is given the Scien tific American for April.
 With the largest, most extensive and most econom- cal situated ignite and sub btumnOus coal fields in the world right here in central Alaska the government owned Alaska Railroad is certain to be factor of great impor tance in supplying the industries of the United States with material for their power and energy in quantities that reach into the tens of billions of tons
 Geologists of the United States Geological Survey make the conservative statement in their official reports that the Ignite fields of central Alaska of 6OO00 square miles at least and possibly 100000 square miles, with veins in many places 20 to 50 feet thick one above the other aggreeang total thicknesses of 20 feet as in the Nenana district
 These enormous deposits of Ignite and sub bitum- inous now are potentially valuable than any beds of bumnous and anthracite in any country III the world due to the magic of scientific research and discovery both in the Bergius process of qufication and distilaon J;y+ +oo od roo+h Od If traat

CONVINCED ALASKA
 IS HE BEST PLACE
 RAISE FOXES, BABIES
MRs. GEORGE FINK, FOX RANCH. FER AT WASiILA, TELLS OF
 FOX RAISING IN STATES


 ,",:1o ".5u ..l"tpI that time meeting many fox farmers, visiting fox ranch os, and addressing d few meetings ot OK breeders, I am 'stui hing to Alaska fully convinced th't Alaska is ,a. best place to raise 1oAts and bah'cs." This was the brief summing up of Mrs. George Ziak, of Wasilla, who, with her husband, conduct q splendid fox farm in that locality. Airs. Zink passed through Seward yesterday enroute home.
 Continuing Mrs. Zink stated that before this trip, had never seen the standard Eastern fox and there for was incapable of making com parisors True, I have seen some in ferior foxes in Alaska but the best l Alaskan fox, arch as our own founda- ton stock and that of some of our neighboring fox ranches, is vastly superior in every way.
 "Our Alaskan foxes have finer. deeped, silker fur, are larger, more prolific, healthier, have more vital ity. Tn fact, saw only two pelts that could be favorably compared to our own foxes.
 The Alaskan fox rancher proba- ply does not realize his advantages. He may have some discourag agements but so does the rancher Outside. For instance. I visited one ranch in Col orado and saw large sheds enclosed on three sides to protect the foxes chosen for pelting or exhibition, from the bright sun and warm winds during the autumn months Instant ly, I thought of our ideal conditions for producing fine fur; l. e, little sunlight and continuous cold during and preceding the pelting season.
 "One rancher told Of securing horse meat for one and one-harf cent per pound and rabbits for eight cents per carcass. But he also told Of paying high taxes on foxes and ranch enuipment
 'In some localities, a parasite is now playing havoc with foxes.
 Some ranches raise their foxes in a comparatively warm climate and take them to a cooler location # they are to be pe1ted. This necessitat- es the expense of two ranches.
 "One man, who bought 12 pair of standard Eastern fox at $2,00O per pair, said he now wishes he had ir- vestigated Alaskan foxes before buying. He also said he considered a litter of TWO very good. Was sur prised to learn that Alaskan foxes often produce filters of four to six
 'The best standard Eastern fox pups in Denver and vicinity sell for $1,5OO to $2,OOO per pair. Again I thought of the superior pups that can be purchased in Alaska for $500 per pair, registered, or eligible for registration. As near as could learn this exploitation of the industry (fo~ I consider it nothing but ex- ploitation) is more noticeable in Colorado than elsewhere in the States.
 "One question frequently asked was, will Alaskan fox do well in this climate?' My reply was that the Alaskan foxes that are found in tue States have always become acc'i, mated very readily.

THE COINIKI'S FINDS

told the entire story of the nations
finances, and in a way that nobody
could misunderstood. There can no
longer be any doubt as to the cost
of government regardless of what
the accomplished spellbinders said
during the late political campaign.
The total estimates for the fiscal
year of 1880 surpass the appropri-
atoms for 1929: and there is small
hope that the appropriations for the
next fiscal year will be substantially
more than the actual expenditures.
Almost all the federal departments
and bureaus eat up more money
every year. Economy. as practiced.
seems to have no material effect
upon the ultimate result.
And what department had the
greatest proportionate increase, &C.
cording to these figures? You'd be
surprised at the answer. Why. the
Department of Commerce, presided
over by President Elect Hoover. Last
year it got more than s3S,o00,000 to
carry on; now it needs more than
s5S.o00. 900.
The frenzied interpretations of the
figures. from these presented by
President Coolidge down the line.

fact there will be treasury surplus
of more than $50 900, 900; but this,
significantly enough. is not sufficient
TO warrant expectation of further tax

ton has come to the end Of several
tails on the political kites.
