MAKE NEW
RIPRAP
A new and strong rip rap Is belnp
constructed on the east banks of the
Orande Rondo river, where It Is cross
ed by the new wagon bridge, jus'
above the George Palmer bo,m'.ing
house. The riprap Is being construct
ed now, In anticipation of sprit?
floods, which mglht seriously menace
the new bridge and severol residence)
that have been built along the banks
of the river. The stream makes h
sharp curve nt that point, and It will
require substantial protection to
withstand tho spring floods. The
length of the barricade Is something
like two blocks, or a little more, and
Is being constructed of heavy logs bal
lasted with gravel taken from the
west bank of the stream.
BATTLING NELSON IS DREAMING
Los Angeles, Cat., Feb. 24. "I'm in

at the Pacific Athletic club a week

from tomorrow night. The Battler In
sists that he was entitled to a decision
over Boer Unholz and that he could
easily have beat htm In a longer go.
It he had not been handicapped by be
ing forced to wear "feather pillows."
Nelson will get a five per cent
bonus of the fighter's share of the
money In his battle with Brltt. The
weight will be 133 pounds at ( o'clock.
"I am the same Battler that beat
Jimmy Britt at Col ma on Admission
day, 1905," says Nelson. ' "I have been
training as hard as If I were to fight
for the championship of the world,
for i realize what It means ot me.
"Victory will put me back to my
old standing puglllstlcally, while de
feat will retire me from the ring for
good and all time as far as the big
money Is concerned, and when the
big money Is out of my line I am
ready to retire.
"I will beat one or two more good
men shortly and it I am as successful
as I feel I will, I Intend to go after
the lightweight championship of the
world and show the public, as well as
Gans, that the decision he got over
me at Qoldfleld was nothing short ol
a steal. If I am ever given a chance
I will make Gans quit quicker than J
did before.
"My ambition Is to retire the un
disputed lightweight champion of th
world and know that I won It fair and
square, for I have never been mixed
up In a crooked fight In my life."
Jimmy Brltt is equally confident thai
he will repeat his performance of Jul:
31 last year. In San Francisco, when
he gave Nelson a terrible walloping
In a 20-round bout. Brltt declares
that his ulna bone Is In good repair
and that he Intends to forever end the
championship aspirations of Battling
Nelson.

Plain Figures Hint Talk.
From Secretary Webb, who recent
ly resigned, the following report It
taken, and shows the carelessness o
the club members In keeping thtl:
dues paid up to date:
At that monthly report, made a lit
tie more than a week ago, there wert
111 members In good standing. Thirty-two
were one month In arrears
representing a sum of $40; 13 wen
two months behind, a total of $29.25;
six were threo months In arrears, with
a total of $22.50. Four members font
months behind, or $20. There won
seven who were more than foul
months In arrears, and this sum rep
resents $57. The sum total of money?
In arrears Is $179, approximately.- .
If this sum was paid up to du:
the current expense for lust month,
would have been covered, with the ex
eeptlon of a few dollars. The ex
penses for the month Just ended, a."
reported by the assistant secretary,
was something like $198. It can read
ily be seen that the full membership.
If paid up every month, would more
thnn carry current expenses and leave
a tidy sum to apply on the debt. But
It takes every effort on the part of
the assistant secretary to keep a ma
jority of the members in good stand
ing and, though persistent, those In
arrears have not been persuaded by
him to pay up.
Once on a good financial standing,
and the revenue from the 157 mem
bers coming In monthly, the club
could be maintained in a flourishing
condition.
Open to All.
Not only members of the commer
cial club are wanted at the mass
meeting Friday night, but every man
who has the Interest of the city and
tho club at heart.
Krtornia are. IVimilMxl.
Given the present board of directors
the support which should be given,
the business men who belong, but are
now fighting shy of the club except
for an occasional bath, will be prom
ised many of those things for which
iney iook. For Instance, absolute
quiet In their reading room." This Is
one of the principal arguments ad
vanced by the anti-club element at
present, but In Just five minutes that
undesirable feature can be remedied,
provided the financial support Is suf
ficient to carry out schemes now on
root ror the entertainment of the
younger element which at present Is
making the disturbance In the reading
room. They have paid their dues,
most of them, and are entitled to use
of the club. As there Is no other" at
traction to them at present than the
reading room, they congregate there.
