Gardner Wins in the Seven
teenth Round.
A FAST AND FURIOUS FIGHT
Lowell Man Shoir a. Knowledge of
His Adversary! "We ale Spot, HI
-'Stomach, and Never Misses &
Chance to Reach It.
SALT ItAKH. Aug. 18. George Gard
ner," "of Lowell, Mass., tonight decisively
defeated Jack Boot, of Chicago, who de
feated him several - months ago In San
Francisco, by knocking him out In the
seventeenth round of a flght remarkable'
for the speed and gameness under punish
ment shown by both men. .
Gardner showed a knowledge of Boot's
weak spot, his stomach, and disregarding
Boot's punishing left Jabs, which found
his face time and again, devoted his en
tire . attention to Boot's stomach. Root
showed the effects of the body punish
ment he received as early as the seventh
round, and plainly lost speed after that
round. Gardner was very tired In the
twelfth and thirteenth rounds, but came
again In the fifteenth, and utterly disre
garding Boot's Jabs on his cut and bleed
ing face, put his head between his shoul
ders like Terry McGovern and bored in.
Boot was in distress in an instant. Half
a dozen rights and lefts squarely in the
pit of the stomach brought him to his
knees near the ropes, the gong saving
him. Boot went down again in the six
teenth from a left hook on the chin,
which all but put him in dreamland. The
end came in the next round, Gardner,
paying no attention to Boot's swings,
rushed his man to the ropes, planted his
leftand right to the stomach, and the
letter went down, gasping for breath.
Boot got up only to go down again the
third time he struggled to his feet. Gard
ner was on him like a flash. Working his
right and left like piston rods, Gardner
fairly caved in Root's ribs, and the lat
ter sank slowly to his knees, then rolled
on his back. He was not out. but evi
dently utterly unable t defend himself,
and his seconds saved him further punish
ment by throwing up.'the sponge.
Both men were severely punished.
Gardner's left eye and Root's right eye
were opened in the seventh round at the
same instant, and bothmen bled freely
until the end. Root's left hand was shat
tered in the second round, when he land
ed a loft hook on the back of Gardner's
head, and was of little use to him. as far
as punishing power was concerned, from
that time on. The betting before the men
entered the ring was 10 to 7 on Root..
It was 9:3$ P. M. when Gardner and
Boot entered the ring and took their
'corners. Boot was attended by Jack Don
nelly and Thomas Murtaugh. Gardner
was attended by Alec Gregains and Dave
Barry. Harry Hynds, of Cheyenne, was
named as referee. Both men stripped
beautifully. Their muscles stood out like
whip cords, and it was evident that they
were trained for the hour. The men
weighed in this afternoon at 163 pounds.

GREAT FIRE 1$ RAGING
MANY MILES OF TIMBER. REDUCED
- . TO STOMPS AND ASHES.
British Columbia Miners Save Themselves-
by Standing In Water
Up to Their Kecks.
YMIR,. B. C., Aug. IS. One of the most
disastrous fires which has ever occurred
In West Kootenay is raging about Ymir.
Many square miles of green timber have
been reduced to trackless wastes of burned
stumps arid ashes, while many buildings
connected with the more developed mines
have been wiped out In such a manner as
to render it difficult to locate their former
sites. Wagon roads and bridges have been
destroyed, and for mlle3 every trace of hu
man handiwork has been obliterated from
the surface of the ground.
The principal region which has been dev
astated Is Wild Horse Creek, where the
more Important mines of the Ymir sec
tion are situated. For a distance of five
miles along the wagon road from the cyan
ide works of the Ymlr Company to the
Foghorn mine, every building has been
destroyed. The only building anywhere in
the path of the fire which was saved is
that covering the cyanide plant which the
Ymlr Company owes to the fact that a
number of employes there were completely
cut off from outside assistance by tne
flames, and, had they not succeeded In
keeping the building Intact would un
doubtedly have perished. Fortunately the
water supply and Are attachments were
in good order, and the men dug holes In
which they Immersed themselves In water
up to their necks,' while they handled the
hose In short shifts. Belief parties sent to
their assistance from the stamp mill were
unable to reach them, and for a long time
their fate wns uncertain.
The next and perhaps largest sufferers-
were Jullen & Audit principal owners In
the Black Bock mine, which has been
the permanent h6me of their respective
families for several years. The Black
Bock camp consisted of several large
buildings In a group, and the effect of the
Are has been toich that the site of these
buildings is now . difficult to find. Fortu
nately the first fire had warned the fam
ilies, and they were able to bury all their
portable goods In time. Betreat to the
town was cut off, however, and the two
fnmllles had to take refuge In the tunnels
of the mine, over the entrances to whjch
wet blankets were kept
At the Wilcox mine, near by, the cir
cumstances were much the same. While
all the buildings were destroyed, the goods
were buried and the men took refuge In
the tunnela Here, however, some of the
men had a narrow escape. The wind blew
the flames Into the tunnel In which they
had taken refuge, which Is connected with
the surface by an uprise. This, too, cre
ated a draft for the flames, and the first
sets of timber began to burn. The men
behlpd the flames had 11 buckets of water
with them, and a little was Issuing from
the face. With this meager supply, han
dled In tin cups, the men managed to keep
the fire from progressing along the timber
sets, relieving each other every few min
utes.

XO MORE AID FOR THEM.
Chamberlain Holds Out Little Hope
to West Indian Planters.
LONDON. Aug. 18. The West India
committee has published the reply of Jo
seph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary.
to the deputation of the Island of Trinidad,
which recently Interviewed him on the
subject of the Inadequacy of the relief
which the government Is giving the Island
ers. Mr. Chamberlain declared that any
Increase of the sum (1.250,000) voted by
Parliament was out of the question, and
that he could hold out no hope of a slml
lar grant In 1S03. If, however, the sugar
industry, there required further aid, he
would consider raising In the colonies
money to be advanced to the planters on
easy terms. He had no fears regarding
the ratification of the Brussels Convention,
but if through some unforeseen cause It
was not ratified, effective measures would
be taken to safeguard the interests of the
sugar industries of the British West In

PORTLAND NOT SLOW.
City's -Business, Buildings and En
ctsy Shovr Lively Spirit.
PORTLAND, Aug. IS. (To the Edtor.)
I was pleased to see the other day that
Mr. Craig, the very efficient general pas
senger agent of the O. R. & N. Co., took
exception to the remarks of some Port
lander who said that Portland 13 slow,
and If more people would take the same
exception. It might be better all around.
If our own people allow, and say that
we are slow, then of course, outsiders take
us at our own estimate and keep It up to
that Idea. Among our own citizens It Is
quite a common thing to hear this, but I
mostly find it is said by pccplc who try
to work others, second-rate real estate
men, men who have some scheme, men
who say that others ought to do thus and
so, but who have- very little of their own
to risk, and when It does come to a sub
scription arc not there.
Several years ago. when Portland was
a very small place, there was a well-known
and highly respected physician here, whose
hoboy was malaria, and every complaint
which was taken to him was declared in
some fashion to be connected with ma
laria. If a man had a cold In the head it
was malarial catarrh. If any one had
been out late the night before, and went,
to the physician for a "cooler" for his
head. It was malaria. And so on. until
Fortland came to have the name of being
one of the most malarious places in the
Northwest, while, in fact, there was very
little actual malaria. So It is with the
slowness. If our own people stand around
and continually keep repeating that "Port
land cannot do anything, and if this had
been up to Seattle It would have been
done," etc.. others believe It
I decidedly take exception to the state
ment that Portland Is slow. If any one
takes interest enough to go down to the
docks In the early morning he will see
some 20 river boats start off for various
points on the Colombia and Willamette
Rivers for Astoria, Corvallls, The Dalles,
etc., some of them making very long trips
and others three or four trips a day, and
In proportion to the extent cf water here,
and the magnificent stretch of Puget
Sound, with Its 1SC0 miles of shore line,
this Is a pretty good showing In Itself.
Then take the foreign shipments of
wheat, flour. lumber and latterly the Gov
ernment shipments to Manila, which were
only got after hard work, and there Is
nothing slow about that The water
works are a monument to those who con
ceived their plan and honestly carried It
out, providing the city with as splendid a
water supply as you will find In any city,
not only In the United States, but In Eu
rope. They cost money and a great deal
of work and attention.
The Port of Portland Commission Is an
other Instance of the move of the people,
and for both of these the people voted to
tax themselves. Again when It comes to
subscriptions and there are plenty of
these the people come forward liberally
for anything at all that Is worthy In a
public way. Last year the river and har
bor committee were entertained, and thero
was :iot the least difficulty In getting the
money among the citizens, even after sev
eral other Influential parties had lately
been here, and also entertained. In fact,
the local committee In charge' after the
river and harbor committee entertainment,
found themselves with a deficit of several
hundred dollars to face, and which was
given quickly and pleasantly by three or
four firms when the matter was brought
to their notice. There Is no slowness in
that.
Then take some of the buildings in
Portlai.d. Your own Oregonian building,
the Portland Hotel, etc., there Is nothing
like them in any place outside of San
Francisco cn this Coast. The three big
Ldcpartment stores furnish a trade which
Is not excelled in the superiority of goods
sold even in San Francisco. Buildings of
the modern style are going up evecywhere.
streets are being Improved though? I must
admit there is plenty of room for more
and a great dc-al of business 13 being done
right here In Portland, which some of our
people delight in saying Is so slow. As
havo said Derore. it nas Decome tne
custom to say this. Every one more or
less does It. Your own reporters do it

Mixed Recipe,,
Chicago Chronicle
Harry Armstrong, one of the last sur
vivors of Haverley's famous "Mastodons,"
was reviving old memories for the benefit
of a Chicago reporter a few days ago, and
told this:
"I was walking along State street with
my girl one night, when we came to one
of them cooking school signs.
" 'Take me In thero," ohe says. I want
to get on to a few new recipes for pie and
cake.'
"We goes In and the cooking professor
gives her a bunch of recipes to look over.
Pretty soo'n she strikes the recipe for
pound cake.
" 'Here's just what I want,' she says.
'Lcf(mj have your lead pencil and a piece 1
of paper till I copy it down.'
"Just as she starts to copy It oft in
comes a stunning young lady, with the
swcllcst. dress on you ever saw. Of couro
that dress distracted my girl's attention,
and all the time she was copying down
that recipe for pound cake she was look
ing at the dress out of the corner of her
eye. Finally, she got through, and l
walked home with her. ,
""Oh, ma,' ehe eayy, when we gets Into
the house, 'here's the finest recipe for
pound cake that ever was made!'
"The lady read what the girl had wrote
out on the paper and falls In a fit. I
grabs the paper from ma's hand, and this
Is what I read:
" 'One cup of flour, with lace running
from neck to the floor: white of two eersrs.
cut bias; one cup of sugar, with two rows
rows
yards
of buttons- down the front: seven
of green ribbon; Ice the pan with a nut
meg necklace and bake In a moderately
heated oven until the oversklrt Is tucked
from the waist down each side." "
A'ot at AH Xcecssary.

The man stopped to watch a prairie
ball game.
"Well, my son," he remarked to the
umpire, "I suppose you know all the fine
points of the game?"
y'Naw," was the reply. "I don't hive
to. fer I can lick any two of the kids on

VARICOCELE
THE DISEASE. An enlargement of the veins surrounding the spermatic
cord, a twisted, knotted, wormy-like or swollen appearance of the scrotum.
THE CAUSE Sometimes self-pollution, but often blows, falls, strains,
excessive horseback or blcycle-ridlng.
THE EFFECT At times a dull, heavy, dragging pain In small of back,
extending down through loins into the parts, low spirits, weakness of body
and brain, nervous debility, partial or complete loss of sexual power and often
failure of general health.
THE CURE If you are a victim of this dire disease, come to my ofOc
and let me explain to you my process of treating it. You will then not
wonder why I have cured, to stay cured, more, than 700 cases of VARICO
CELE during the past 12 months. Under my treatment the patient Improves ,
from the very beginning. All pain Instantly ceases. Soreness and swelling
quickly subside. Tho pools of stagnant blood arc forced frcm the dilated
veins, which rapidly assume their normal size, strength and soundness. All
Indications of disease and weakness vanish completely and forever, and In their
rtead comes the pride, the power, and the pleasures of perfect health and
restored manhood.
I also cure to stay cured forever. Stricture. Syphilitic Blood Poison. Im
potency and all associate diseases and weaknesses. of men. To these ma
iadleB alone I have earnestly devoted my whole professional life.
If you cannot coll at my office, write me your symptoms fully. My home
treatment by correspondence is always successful, ily counsel la free and
sacredly confidential, and I give each patient a legal contract In writing to
hold for my promise. Address

There Is a certain cure for these dis
eases without resorting to those unpleas
ant and painful methods still used by
many, which aggravate, rather than give
relief. With the same certainty as that
of a perfect diagnosis, I adapt my special
French treatment to the radical cure of
Stricture, Prostatic,
Inflammation of the Bladder,
Private Disorders, Varicocele,
And all Genito-Vnlary Dleae
It affords Instant relief. I remove every
vestige of disease witohut resorting to
thoae painful proccsfleo usually employed
and which do not give satisfaction. It Is
not reasonable to suppose that a man can
exercise the essential functions while the
urinary channel Is blocked by stricture
or other disease, which destroys the vital
powerand which becomes more aggravated
under improper treatment. These diseases,
while they lost, always detract from tho
sexual and bladder functions, and an early
cure is always advisable.
