fl - THE MOBNIKG OREGONIA;S. TUESDAY, MAT 19, 1903. THE DEMON IS HERE Joe Walcott, HislMustache and Johnson Arrive, WILL START. TRAINING APONCE Joe Disappointed. s Because There Wa No Colored 'Golf Club in Tottb-Al HerXord. ,Goes to Seattle. Joe "Vvalcott's In town. Yesterday just before teatlme a round ball of a black man with -a kinky, dinky, curling, scanty mustache covering a Hp that is about a elxteenth of an inch long, underneath which glistens a bicuspid covered with gold which showed when he smiled, ac companied by a giant of a black man, known to the residents of Mittvlllo as Misa Johnson, rolled into the Union Depot. Slung carelessly across -Vvalcott's gorilla-like shoulders was a golf bag and In the golf bag were half a dozen clubs of various makes. His valet de chambre and bis trainer, Johnson, with a. smile as "broad as the gurgling Willamette River. carried several grips and two bunaies oi laundry. Joe had heard there was a laundry strike on In Portland, and Joe never trains without clean sweaters. Walcott was met at the station by a number of the colored sporting gentry and the white men who are promoting the flght which will he pulled off at the Exposition -building on May 2S. Just what Joe wanted to bring his golf sticks along tfor Is known only to himself and the police of cultured Boston, where Joe eats his po'ke chops when he is not racing over the country exchanging wallops for 'bread money. The colored population of Portland: that is, those who like the fighting game, has so far neglected to organize a colored golf club, and he will not get a chance to play golf, unless Joe expects he will need this- exercise to teat "Mysterious Billy" Smith. In addi tion to the golf bag Joe was rigged out in a brand new suit of clothes, which he purchased in Boston just before his de parture. Johnson declares that the Bar badoes wonder paid $3.69 for the happy rags, but Joe in all modesty admits that they cost 17. "Walcott's first question when he got his trunk and other goods and chattels together for the expressman was about the size of the town. "When told he smiled a regular Boston smile, and then wanted to know if Smith had been working hard for the coming flght. A white man as sured the black demon that the mys terious one had been working hard and was ready to flght at a moment's notice and a thoughtful gloom settled over his somber features. "Hu," he grunted, "yo' all tellen' me dat Mlsta Smith done been trainin ha'd fo dls fight. Somct'in done gone wrong with dat white man. He didn't use to care much fo' trainin when I knowed him. Po'tland sutenly looks lak' Bos'on, only yo all done see so many folks wear in" glasses. Say," to a white man stand ing near him, "Tommy Tracey mus' have done been stale when he let Joe Gans hand him dat bunch. If Smith is only stale I'll han' him a bunch, too. Watch me, boy! I'm goin to settle de disputa tions between us dls time fo' sure." Walcott will train and make his head quarters at the Club Cafe, where Joe Gans fitted himself for his battle with Tracey. 'Re has ten days in which to fit himself, but this will be enough for him. Since Tom O'Rourke quit manag ing the demon, Walcott has had an easy time of It in his training. The Irishman made him work, something which Wal cott seriously objects to. All that Joe does now is to take a couple of miles on the road so as to get his wind in shape. He iloes not go in for any fancy or new punches. He knows he is there with the wallop and he knows that he has a body that can stand a mule's kick and not hurt much. Al Herford and Young Peter Jackson left last night for Seattle. ERNE "WINSTON, A FOUL. Ex-LiEht-Weigrht :ChkinpIon Gets the Decision Over Zurbrlck. BUFFALO. X. Y., May 18.

Reports from successful fishing parties have been few and far apart this season, and-some of the few that have come in have been viewed with suspicion. As a veteran sportsman said yesterday: "Some of these fellows will tell 'fish stories' once in a while and streams that are good sometimes are destitute of fish .at other times, and occasionally the best fishermen get left. For instance, three of us went down to Skamokawa Saturday, and It rained and rained, and the stream was the color of coffee. We caught only a few fish where, under favorable clr- cumstances, we would have filled our bag- HERMIS SELLS FOR $60,000.

There have been but few large catches of trout made so far this Spring." The adventures of "Ned" Ryan and Al lle Carter on Salmon River form tho latest fishing stories. Salmon River la 42 miles east of Portland on the road to Mount Hood. The parties named have been out there for three Sundays in succession. The first time they caught some 250 trout. The next time they caught only about 50. Last Sunday they went again. It hailed and enowed all the time they were on Salmon River, and the fishing was not good. Mr. Ryan fell oft a log into a mass of gooseberry bushes, and scratched through Into a deep , swirling pool and narrowly escaped being washed down stream and drowned. The pair arrived home late Sunday evening after a round trip of 84 miles, wet through and chilled till their teeth were beating a devil's tattoo, and all they had to show for their day's "sport" was five small trout. Next -for tlw man who has a true fishing- story. DEFENDS MR. BLACKWELL His Wife Gives Xew Version of His Fight With Mays.- PORTLAND. Or., May IS. (To the Editor.-) I desire to cah your attention to an article in Isaturday morning's issue. May 16, headed: "Fined for Beating a Minister." Said article goes on to state how a certain party named Sim Mays was fined In the Justice Court $20 for assault ing W. L. Blackwell, a minister of the Gospel; that the trouble occurred over some chickens belonging to the pastor that were determined to use Mr. Mays' garden as a feeding-ground; that by per mission Mr. Mays' set his dog upon them, for which the reverend pastor resented the insult by striking the dog with a .club; that Mr. Mays Interfered, when the pastor, W. L. Blackwell, undertook to chastise him by striking his neighbor over the head with a two by four, after which this Innocent and peaceable neigh bor had pounded and beaten this rever end gentleman until he was profusely bleeding and nearly blind; and yet while In this condition he had with a Winches ter rifle kept watch of Mr. Mays' house, keeping this paragon of innocence within its walls of safety until dark. Now, Mr. Editor, first, I wish to state that W. L. Blackwell ls.not a minister of the Gospel and in no way connected with the church; neither has he been for sev eral years. Tho church defines the mean ing of a pastor as a minister In charge of a people. Therefore he is not a pas tor. A minister of the Gospel once Is not a minister always, no more than once butcher, always one. So much lh defence of the minister. 2vfow, in defense of the Individual, W. L. Blackwell, Mr. Mays failed to state that by common consent all gardens in West Portland are fenced with pickets, while all stock and fowls are given free use of the outlying ground. Mr. Mays is a newcomer and concluded to have a garden without taking the trouble of building a fence. The truth is the dog was killing the hen, not In the Mays garden, but near Mr. Blackwell's own fence, and while Mr. Blackwell was tak ing the dog off Mays came up behind and nearly killed Mr. Blackwell bcforejie could turn to defend himself. As soon as the flow of blood could be stopped some what, he came to Portland, arriving there soon after 2 P. M.. and remaining there until the next day, when he re turned with the ofllc'er. Mr. Blackwell has for tho past two years lived in West Portland a respectable and peaceable life. This statement can be verified by those whose veracity the public will not chal lenge. If the Mays statement were true, why did he resist arrest by running and by the firing of a gun? The statements about the first blow being struck"by W. L. Blackwell and about the Winchester rifle arc false. MRS. W. L. BLACKWELL. Tio Trace of DynaIte. LIVERPOOL. May 18.

Eddie Graney on his return to San Francisco had the following to say of his treatment while In Portland. There will be 6ome difficulty in selecting a referee for the Corbett-Jeffrles battle and Graney suggests that the club get Jack Grant, manager of the Pastime Athletlo Club. Toa Bulletin reporter Graney said: "I never had a better time away from Ban Francisco in my life, and enjoyed every minute I was in Portland, - and I want to go again, What about the flght? It was a good fight, and Tracey would have made a bet ter showing it the weight had been higher. Tommy can't flght strong at 140 pounds, at which he met Gans. In the first two rounds Tommy fought in his old-time form, and had the better of it, but in the third his strength began to fall him. and Gans forged ahead. The latter fought one of his cool, careful fights, and looked to me to be as good as he ever was. Up there they fight straignt wueensDerry ruies, just as tney did in the old days here when Dempsey and Jackson were In their prime. The fighters break when the referee tells them, which made my work vers easy.' Graney talked with a great many Port landers about the Britt-O'Keefe flght, and he met not one who did not think that Brltt could not whip O'Keefe, but at the same time they were all positive that the dCalifornlan committed a foul. "Nobody stands any better In Portland than Jack Grant, who refereed the flstht." said Graney, "and they all think he gave the right decision. I see in the papers where Jeffries does not want a California ref eree. Now if I were allowed to select one for him I would take Jack Grant, who Is competent In every way. Grant's brother, Pete, is also a good referee, and stands equally as well at home with the sport ing fraternity." While in Portland Eddie and his wife were guests- of Chief Camp Dell, or the tire Department. CAPITAL TURNING TO CUBA Americans Still Find a. Good In vestment in Land. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May IS. Capitalists are again turning their eyes toward Cuba, and American money Is being Invested In the island almost daily, according to advices received by the State Department. Many Inquiries are also being made by prospec tlve Investors as to the advisability of putting their money In agricultural lands in the island. In order to answer these queries, a report was recently ordered from Consul R. E. Holaday, at Santiago, and under recent date he writes to the State Department as follows: "Considerable quantities of land hav already been bought. by citizens of the United States. Persons desiring to buy land should either make a personal In vestlgation or be represented by some competent persons, as there is much un desirable and unproductive! land on the market. The soil of Cuba is adapted to the production of coffee, sugar, cacao, tobacco, corn, potatoes, vegetables and tropical fruits of all varities, but there are large areas that are nonarable. Coffee and cacao are raised principally In the mountainous regions. The cacao is cult! vated In connection with the coffee plant, as the latter requires shade, whlctf is fur nished by the' fprmcr, at the "same time yielding a profltnble crop. Cacao can also be profitably grown in the lower and richer dlstricta. "The rich river valleys and plains arts devoted to the cultivation of sugar cane. There are large areas of land suitable for grazing, and the raising of cattle will un questionably become one of the profitable industries in the near future. "It must not be understood that all of the land In Cuba suitable for cultivation is being cultivated. There is much vir- gin land which the -future deyelopment of the means of transportation will some day make Tery valuable. There are also many abandoned estates, which were 'de stroyed during the wara in Cuba, the own ers of which are either too impoverished again to establish and operate them or they do not desire again to undertake planting. There is no direct land. tax. The owners of real "property are taxed upon the Income which the property yields. "Public roads are wtll denned, but in bad condition. In the Interior of the Island they are mere trails and travel is almost wholly by horseback. The con struction of the new trunk line railroad, lately completed, extending from San Luis, In this province, to Santa" Clara, in the province of Santa Clara, thus estab lishing direct railroad communication by connection with other lines between this city and Havana, will b? an- Important factor In the future development of large sections of the Island which have here tofore ben utilized to a limited extent on account of the lack of adequate and sufficiently rapid means of transporting the produce of the soil to the local mar kets and to the seaports for exportation.

Cirrolton; B C Swaggert, Cathlnlt LOSS TO WQR A PROMINENT LABOR LEADER DISCUSSES AN ISSUE Gives His Own Experience as an Em ploye in the Railroad Shops Coaldn't Agerd to Be Stele Mr. A. C. Holmes, of Oneonta, N. T., an employe of the railroad shops, at that place, is well known In labor circles, and his own experience, recently re lated, deserves the attention of every worklngman who has lost time and money on account of sickness. Mr. Holmes said: "Two years ago I had a severe attack of grip, which left me In a bad condK tion. I was so weak that I frequently had to lay oft for two or three days at a time during a period of four or five months, t could not very well afford to do this, but there was no help for it I simply was not able to work. I lost flesh, got nervous, had awful head aches, and felt worn out all the time. "I had read of some remarkable cures made by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People In cases like mine, and so . decided to try them. A few boxes helped me, and I think. I took ten altogether. They drove all traces of the disease out of my system and made me feel like a different man. I have told many of my acquaintances about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and. what they did, for me." After an attack of the grip there are always left behind some troublesome effects. Often these are worse than the disease Itself, and seem to baffle all ef forts of physicians. Health is shattered the blood becomes poor, the flesh falls away, the sufferer grows nervous and Irritable, and even slight exertion causes shortness of breath. These are dangerous symptoms, and Indicate that the system 'is in a state that Invites pneumonia, bronchitis, or even con sumption. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, however, will not only quickly restore the health after an at tack of the grip, and expel the lingering germs, but, working upon the blood. will render the system proof against the disease. In hundreds of cases just as remarkable as that of Mr. Holmes It has been shown that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have surely accomplished this result. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple are sold at all drugstores or sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec tady, N.
