PARADE

BUTTE. Mont, Nov. To- tUP)-
The scholar who contributes the
information on Butte to the Ency-
clopedia BrittanNca should come
out here to this city, pitched on
the richest hill in the world, be-
fore the next edition is published.
He hasn't all the facts. He did
all right on the population ,latl-
tude and longitude. industries, and
climate. But that's just half of
Butte-the duller half. He should
come out here and visit the Rocky
Mountain club and the NJ. and M,
play on the granite golf course
where 400 yard tee shots are con-
sidered just fair, and sit around
and listen to the boys as they
recall a sports background as CLAM
orous as that of any city in the
United States.
haG read what the encyclope-
dia had to say about Butte before
I came out here, but it was not
until last night when a few old
timers, lifting their voices above
the hum of the roulette wheel
and the clickety-clack of the dane
ing dice, rolled back the years that
I really learned about Butte.
The Encyclopedia overlooked any
me, Tor example, that this is the
only town in the country where
three world boxing champions ever
defended their titles within the
space of six days. That was back
in 1903 when Montana, never
state to put many restrictions in
the law books, was a haven for
fighters. The three world cham
pions were Tommy Ryan, Joe Wal
colt, and Joe Cans.
The Encyclopedia overlook edany
mention of the time Bob Fitzsim-
mons came to town and knocked
out three opponents with exactly
three punches. His first victim was
one Jim Stewart and took place
inside a ring The other two vic
tins were giant miners who stop
Fitz on the street and questioned
his punching ability He knocked
the first one through a hack with
a right, and then with left, drove
the other skeptic through the hole
made by his companion.
That was the Butte Of yesterday.
The Butte Of today is still town
OF reckless enthusiasm that is as
boundless as the copper that lies
beneath its hills. Butte goes for
any sport at any time. The lights
burn "a hours-12 hours under
ground and y hours above.
I go for it.

El Centro JC. will be the next

Imperial high school, due to the
concerted effort Of Principal Mad
den, has started football at the
institution after a lapse of nearly
twenty-five years.
Sheldon Loughborough, who took
over the coaching duties this sea-
son hopes to enter a team in the
valley league next year. The
addition Of Imperial and of Cali
patria two or three years hence,
will make the valley league one of
the finest high school conferences
in southern California.
The only obstacle in an other
wise clear path toward the build
ing of powerful grid team at I'M
perial is the lack of a good play
ing field. An alkali greensward has
been provided for the Imperial
grid hopefuls e. And its nearly as
good as the road bed that runs
nearby. 1t appears from here
that the Imperial school board
should take the situation in hand
Make arrangements for a new
playing field and thereby facilitate
the completion of a full athletic
program at the school. And aid
in the strengthening of the valley
league at the same time.
Baseball apparently has come tc
Imperial Valley to stay. Oakland
and Seattle will train in Brawley
and Ell Centro this season. The
Coca Colans are holding their owl
in the winter league. And sew
eral major league games are slat-
ed to be played in the valley dur
ing the spring training season.
The Chicago Cubs, Chicago Whit;
SoX and the Pittsburgh Pirate:
will appear in Ell Centro.

BILL FOR ONE ALASKA HOUSE
 GIVEN BOOST
Senate Committee Gives Approval to Measure
 Passed by House

WASHINGTON, Aug 3. The Senate Territories Committee has reported favorably on the act which provides for a referendum in the Alaska 1888 election on the estab- lishment of a one house Legisla- ture. The House has already ap- proved the measure. Delegate Di- mond urged enactment before the committee hearing.
 By an Act of Congress approved in 1912, Legislature was created with a Senate of eight members and House of Representatives of l6 members to take care of certain leg islative needs of Alaska.
 However, the Territorial Legisla- ture is without powsT to change its form or the numerical member ship of it's houses.
 The Delegate has said that he personally believes a one house Leg islature would operate both more efficiently and economically in the Territory than the present two- house system, and it was to obtain the views of the electorate in AL aska on the subject that he intro- duced this bill, In this way, MT Dimond said each of the voters may express his or her preference concerning one-house Legislature
