HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
EXTINGUISH EIRE
While several pupils of the Oregon
City High School were enjoying re
cess Wednesday they were attracted
to the basement by the odor of smoke
and found that a small quantity of
excelsior, which was in the wood
room near a brick wall had caught
fire. Professor Pfingsten, with the
assistance of several of the boys, soon
extinguished the blaze. No damage
was done, as the excelsior was about
ten feet from the furnace. The origin
of the fire is not known.

to careful conclusion, he had been
forced to travel considerably over a
hundred miles in one year to find new
barbers' shops where his unbending
attitude on the tip question was un
known, and he spent rather more than
$25 on bus and cab fares In doing so.

TO HAVE BIG BALL
Fountain Hose Company No. 1
Thursday night decided to hold its
next annual ball on Christmas eve,
at Busch's Hall. The following mem
brs were appointed a committee on
arrangements: Al C. Cox, chairman;
Harry Woodward, Frank McGahney,
G. Woodward and Joe Beauliau.
Chief Hanaford informed the boys
that the chances were excellent for
the installation of the automatic fire
alarm system by the first of the com
ing year.
SOCIALIST AND MOOSE
HAVE VOTE MIX-OP
An irate Bull Mooser and a near
sighter Socialist, voting in adjoining
booths Tuesday at Gladstone, com
mitted hari-kari to all election ethics
and otherwise desecrated the sanctity
of the polls, when the admirer of Teddy
discovered that part of his ballot had
already been given the necessary "X"
and straight Socialist at that.
The election judges had been forced
to improvise two extra booths to meet
the demands of a slow and heavy
vote. A partition was arranged above
the center of an office desk, but un
fortunately a space of half an inch
remained between the table and the
partition. Teddy's man, probably feel
ing that Roosevelt's returns might be
a little late in materializing this year
anyhow, had decided to vote the ini
tiative measures first, and was so in
terested in his task that he failed to
observe that about half an inch of
his ballot had slipped into the sacred
dominions of his neighbor. About
this time the advocate of Eugene B.
Debs began his march down the So
cialist calendar, and had delivered
about six telling uppercuts against
capitalism, little dreaming that he
was marking the wrong ballot. A
Bull Mooser and a Socialist are not
the best of friends in the world, even
under ordinary circumstances and
environments, so of course in a few
minutes things were doing.
"What's wrong with this ballot?"
angrily thundered the Bull Mooser in
a tone that fairly shook the ballot
box.
"The interests 'Big Business' "
they re robbing me of my very vote,"
said the Debs man at the same
instant, feeling a sort of slipping
sensation, as the ballot disappeared
from beneath his fingers.
'Ah-ah," quoted the Progressive:
Thou shalt not steal."
Only prompt action of the election
clerks in locating the trouble and re
adjusting the situation to, suit the
! wounded voters prevented further
altercation.
To assuage the wounded feelings
of the Mooser, he was given a nice
clean white ballot and instructions to
try it all over again. The dignity of
the precinct hall was upset for some
little time afterward and eventually
all parties had a good laugh.

MONEY MAD PUGS
HURTING GAME
Big Purses Demanded by Box
ers Have Queered Good Bouts.
WOLGAST'S LUST FOR GOLD,
Lightweight Champion Wanted For
tune to Battle McFarland Mike Gib
bons Latest One to Want Bags of
Money to Meet Good Man.
A matter of dollars has queered two
of the biggest boxing matches that
eWld have been arranged in this coun
try. It was Wolgast's lust for gold
eagles that turned official disapproval
npon the champion's proposed conflict
with Packey McFarland. The public
ity attached to Ad's numerous demands
killed his own game.
Mike Gibbons and Eddie McGoorty
have been matched and rematched of
late, and on sundry occasions, the
sporting hoi polloi has anticipated with
pleasure a joust between the two best
middleweights in the world only to
hear that each match has fallen
through. Gibboas now reports a strain
ed shoulder as an obstacle to the carry
ing out of the latest agreement to box
McGoorty, but that is not the only
drawback.
Eddie Reddy, who is Gibbons' man
ager, wants the fancy figure of $10,000
for ten rounds of jabs, uppercuts and
sidesteps by Mike. He will not be
given such an amount. Promoters
have lost heavily of late, and their
losses are understood to have been due
to the exorbitant prices demanded by
fighters who are cutting off their own
noses by their anxiety to attract the
increment their way.
Gibbons ought to jump to get $8,000
for ten rounds with McGoorty. That
is more by considerable than he has
ever earned since he quit his job as
Y. M. C. A. boxing instructor at St.
Paul. McGoorty is a few pounds heav
ier. But what of it? Gibbons is clev
er. He would lose little by a defeat.
Possibly he might not cut the big mon
ey for a time, but that's the chance he
takes. What's he making by refusing
the McGoorty battle? If he doesn't
take it be will have to go back to the
$1,000 and the $1,500 guarantees. Oc
casionally he will make a trifle more
than that. He will have difficulty,
though, in keeping busy, for the boobs
are playing out.
What's the use of being a tin horn
champion when one can just as well
be a mighty one? Gibbons, many ex
perts figure, has an even chance of
whipping McGoorty. But while he is
deciding whether he will fight the au
thorities again may step in and de
clare that the contest is too close to a
championship affair, the same as In
the Wolgast-McFarlaud case, and bar
it out of New York.
McGoorty's recent record has been
both stunning and otherwise, but on
the whole his fighting indicates cham
pionship material. His knockouts-of
Jack Harrison and Dave Smith were
highly sensational, and his fight, too,
against Jack Denning, he making
Denning quit in a few rounds, put a
few extra streaks of light in the Mc
Goorty halo. He outpointed Barney
Williams easily in six rounds and
stopped Jimmy Howard suddenly.
His bad fights were with Johnny
Thompson and Leo Ilouck. Phila
delphia papers gave Houck credit for
beating the Oshkosh man recently. At
Cincinnati McGoorty wont ten rounds
Thompson. This
W
:-
against him, how-
for any one to make
Thompson.
Sizing up the McGoorty campaign
begun two months ago. it cannot be
gainsaid that Eddie Is a serious con
tends for the middleweight garland.
His weight won't hinder him either.
For the Denning fight he scaled 157
pounds at ringside. Maybe that's why
Gibbons is doing so much reconnoiter
ing. McGoorty can make the middle
limit without loss of strength.
The fruits of success are now being
plucked by McGoorty. who has a few
weeks of vaudeville time in the west
at $1,000 per week. He also has had
two big offers from Paris and London.
LONG TERM FOR LYNCH.
National League Magnates May Re
elect Him For Five Years.
That Tom Lynch will be re-elected
president of the National league seems
to be a foregone conclusion. The mag
nates may even make his term foui
or five years this time, for it has been
demonstrated that the very short term
Is impracticable.
While Lynch was criticised for per
mitting Murphy and Fogel to go as
far as they did during the past year
his honesty and integrity have never
been questioned, and his personal con
duct is a credit to the game.
One or two instances might be pick
ed out where the head of the National
league failed to display the drastic ef
ficiency of a Ban Johnson, but on the
run of the season he earned himself
another term, and the National league
cannot afford to abandon him now In
the face of the Fogel fuss.

The Best Light at
the Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.
