A special from X'w York Includes tl following- cablegram: Loivlim, Oct. 16. James J. Jeffries, tha retired heavyweight American champion pugilist, sailed for New York today on board the Cunard liner Lusltanla. Befoiw boarding the steamer Jeffries vai asked to ex press his opinion about tha Johnson Ketchel fight. I hope Ketchel will knock the Digger's head off." said Jeffries. "I am afraid, however, ha hasn't m chance and It will have to ba left to ma to do so. I am goinc home to make final arrangements to fight Johnson. I am now only about IS pounds over my usual fighting weight.' SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. IA Jack Jolin aon vindicated his right to tha lieavy weigrht title today by knocking out Stan ley Ketchel In the 1-th round. The end am. so sinltieiity that, when Ketchel rolled to the. floor and Referee Welch .ounW him out, the 10," persona crowd ing thf arena were absolutely nulet for a full minute. Even Johnson, who leaned against the ropes, half dazed by his own all a moment leoro. did not seem to know what had happened. Climax In 34 Seconds. 1 The climax of the fight was crowded Into .U seconds. At the beginning of the last round there was little to Judge from preceding rounds to pick the winner. The men met in the center of the ring, clinched and wrestled to Johnson's cor ner. The negro broke away, and poising himself, dashed at Ketchel. who sprang to meet him. Ketchel drove his riuht at the black's lowered head. Johnson ducked and the Mow landed behind his ear. He stumbled, fell and stretched out on the floor, landing heavily. Ketchel backed toward the ropes with a smile glimmering on his battered, blood Ftreakad face. Johnson rose slowly, as though daaed. As he straightened to his knees, his eyes encountered Ketchel's and with the fury of a wild beast he leaped across the ten feet that separated them. His right fist shot to the white man's jaw. The left crashed to the stom ach and the right swung again with the speed . of lightning, catching Ketchel's head as he reeled back from the on slaught. Ketchel dropped in a heap and Johnson, unable to stop his rush, sprawled across his beaten rival's legs, and fell full length himself. The negro sprang to -his feet with a hound, but Ketchel was out. Once, as the seconds were counted over him, he feebly moved his arms and rolled his head. He gave not another sign of life and his sec onds picked him from the floor, barely conscious. Johnson was still dazed. He clung to the ropes and looked about in a bewild ered way. The crowd broke into murmur ings and seemed unable to realize that the fight was over. Ketchel Game Against Odds. Ketchel won many friends by his show ing today. From the time he entered the ring until he was carried out, he was game to the core. Outweighed, over reached and in every way the physical inferior -of his gigantic opponent, he fought a cool, well-planned, gritty fight. His face was puffed and he was bleeding1 at nose and mouth before three rounds had passed, but he kept following the negro about the ring, undaunted. Johnson appeared to be holding him self back all the time. Three times only did it look as though he went in to knock his man out once when Ketchel landed a clean left hook on the jaw that broke the skin and raised a lump; once when a similar blow caught him from the other side, and the last time when he ended the fight. Throughout the fight Johnson's "golden smile" flashed out at inter vals over Ketchel's shoulder in the midst of their wrestling bouts. This happened whenever be picked the smaller man off the .ground and set him down again in another place. He did it frequently and apparently with out effort. Ikv Ketchel Wary and Xlnible. Ketchel fought warily from the start. He kept out at long range, avoiding many blows by clever clucking, but Johnson jabbed bis left to the face time after time. In clinches it looked as if a stripling -were wrestling with a man. Twice Ketchel was thrown to the floor by the rush of Johnson's attacks. Neither time did a blow land. At other times Ketchel avoided the charges by skipping nimbly to right or left or backing swiftly awary. They sparred for openings for long periods an4 there was little real fighting through the earlier rounds. For. rea sons known only to himself Johnson preferred to keep away, and when he felt the force of Ketchel's wicked left hook he seemed more than ever ready to go slow about his work. Good Puncher, Says Johnson. In his dressing-room after the fight Johnson said: "He is a good puncher and a strong man. I must say that he has given me a sorer chin than I ever had be fore," and he rubbed his swollen jaws reflectively while he talked. "He can take some heavy blows," continued the champion. "See there, and he showed one of his gloves sodden with Ketchel's blood. There were several cuts on the leather. "That's where I uppercut htm in the mouth." said Johnson. Ketchel said after he recovered that a chance blow had finished him. "I am in better condition than John son now." h said. "look at him. He Is dazed. But for that one blow I would have beaten him." The fight attracted tlie greatest crowd in years. Over 10,000 people were ranged around the walls and overflowed the seats. Fully 3000 were turned away for lack of room. Johnson weighed 1S6. Ketchel 176 pounds several hours before the fight. Ringside belting; remained un changed 10 to 4 on Johnson, and e-raa money that Ketchel would or. would not stay IS rounds. There was very little betting at the ringside. ketchel was Introduced as the mid dle and lightweight champion of the world. Hools Greet Johiisou. As Johnson was announced there were mingled hoots and cheers. John son wag then introduced as the heavy weight champion and the big black smiled cynically at the derisive cries. Johnson entered the ring at 2:57 a"hd Ketchel a moment later, fhe princi pals met in the center of the ring and gripped hands. Johnson went to Ketchel's corner and personally ex amined the gloves and bandages on his opponent's hands. FIGHT BY ROODS IN DETAIL.. Round One. The men did not shake hands. Johnson towered above his adversary by several Inches. The champion scored almost im mediately with a hard left hook to the stomach. "Muke him lead," yelled the spec tators to Ketchel. Ketchel apparently was determined to make the black lead and SDurred for almost half a minute. 'Johnson, at long range, shot his left to the face twice with lightning-like rapidity. Ketchel forced the black against the ropes, but the latter wrlKBleri away without receiving a blow. The bell rang with the men In the center of tha ring. It was a tame round, both men fighting with extreme caution. Ketchel looked nervous throughout. John son smiled. Kound Two. They ran to a clinch and Referee Welsh pried them apart. On the break Johnson shot a straight left to the nose and soon thereafter duplicated It. At every clinch Ketchel was playing with short-arm blows for the stomach. In a clinch Ketchel up percut hard to the jaw with his left. This angered the champion, who rushed in. land ing left and right on the body, and Ketchel slipped to the floor with considerable force. He was up quickly, rushed In. but had great difficulty in getting under Johnson's long reach. Johnson merely toyed with Ketchel until the bell ended the round. Ketchel's face showed grim determination as he took his seat. Round Three. They sparred perfunctorily for fully SO seconds, and then closed in. swinging right and lett at close rsnge. Ketchel landing on tha body once with right. Ketchel drove his right high on the negro's breast, and as thev clinched Johnson uppercut twice with his right. The referee then separated tha belligerents. They again rushed In clcse, Johnson putting In several short-arm rights and lefts to the stomaca. The white man uppercut with left to tha face as the men broke from a clinch. Just before tha round ended Johnson swung his right on the law. Ketchel went to his corner dancing, however, and looked fresh. Johnson k.-pt ep a running lire of conversation with his seconds during the minute's respite. Round Four. After sparring a while. Johnson rush'd in, forcing his man to the ri t,e and placing his arms around Ketchel. fairly carried him to the center of the ring. "Make him lead." came the repeated injunction from tVlllus Britt. Ketchel made a terrific right swing intended for the Jaw. It was a close shave for the negro and missed by barely an Inch. Johnson steadily backed away, as they sparred for a lead, with Ketchel following. Johnson then sent a hard right to the Jaw and Ketchel con stantly kept teasing the big black in an ef fort to make him lead. It was a tame round, characterized by a few bursts of speed. Round Five. Ketchel opened with a left to the body, to which the champion replied with two weak lefts to the face. Johnson then sent Ketchel's head back with two straight lefts to the nose. Ketchel again essayed to force Johnson to lead, to which the champion failed to respond. Ketchel showed unex pected cleverness at blocking the negro's leads whenever the negro chose to lead, lohnson flung his left twice to the face and the men sparred at long range, Johnson working in a straight left to the face Neither man showed damage as the round ended. Few leads mnrked the round. John sun having a shade the better of It. Round Six. -fach missed a left - swing, and .then Ketchel landed a left to the body and followed- with another left to the Jaw. John eon countered with left to the stomach. Johnson shot out his left, reaching Ketchel un both hands as the latter threw up his guard, and Ketchel was sent to the floor. He was up smiting, however. Johnson gave him a warm reception. He uppercut with right to the Jaw and raked Ketchel's face with a left. Ketchel continued to force the pace, but was met with two lefts on tha nose that started blood flowing. John son had a good lead In the round, and it looked as though he was holding back. - Round Seven. Johnson swooped in with two lefts on noee, Ketchel countering with a hard, left hook to the body. Johnson shot an other straight left to the nose and Ketchel missed a fearful left swing to the Jaw. As they closed In Johnson uppercut with right to tha Jaw. and Ketchel used the negro's shoulder as a mat with which to wipe the flowing blood from hla nostrils. At close quarters Johnson landed several times on the nose. Suddenly Ketchel swung his left with terrific force, catching the negro good and solid, raising a big lump on the face. It was by far the cleanest and best blow of the fight and tha crowd cheered gleefully. Round Eight. Johnson's smile had vanished as ha came up.- He at once closed in, landing twice with left on the face. Tha fighters roughed It shoulder to shoulder, and Ketchel worked In a hard right uppercut on the Jaw. The referee then separated them, Johnson land ing left and right on the face. Ketchel missed a terrific right swing and almost went through the ropes. Johnson forced hla opponent gradually an1 sent his left to the Jaw. Ketchel again missed a left swing and again nearly went through the ropes from Its misdirected force. Ketchel ran to bis corner smiling amid the cheers of the crowd. Round Nine. They closed In, each landing short-arm rights on the- face. Welsh was forced twice to break the men from clinches. The champion sent In four stinging straight lefts to the face, but Ketchel did not break ground. On the contrary, he vushed in, hammering at the champion's stomach, but his blows were smothered. Ketchel planted his left over tha ribs, and Johnson coun tered with short left hook to the Jaw. Johnson again hooked his left to the Jaw and a clinch followed. Johnson broke It up with a naty straight left to the faca, and the round ended with the champion enjoying the honors. Round Ten. 1 After a clinch Johnson sent In, two light lefts to the stomach and cfuickly . shifted It to tha Jaw, where he connected twice and started Ketchel spitting blood. Johnson wrestled Ketchel to the floor, lifted him up and placed him In tha center of the ring. In a mid-ring rally Johnson seut three etralghtlefts to Ketchel's sore mouth and nose, starting the blood afresh. Johnson again wrestled aud Ketchel almost lost his balance. Johnson, getting Ketchel against the ropes, sent a hard right wallop to the stomach and Ketchel winced. Johluun patted Ketchel on the stomach with his open hands as the bell clanged. Ketchel looked serious as be sat In Jus chair be tween rounds. V Round Eleven. After some desultory sparring Ketchel whipped his left to the kidneys and missed two hard swings for the Jaw. It was noticed that Johnson's right uppercut. which he used with such good effect In his other liphts. failed to nnd Ketchol a victim. Ketchel landed a terrific right almost on tha Jaw and the big black immediately clinched and seemed content to rest. Ketchel forced the fighting, seeking to follow up the advantage but could not further pene trate the negro's clever defense. Ketchel was vigorously cheered as he sought his corner. Ketchel's faca was badly battered from the effects of tha negro's constant left Jabs. Round Twelve. Ketchel, suddenly rushing In, sent his right for the Jaw. It struck tha champion on tha arm and tha big negro fell flat on his back and seemed to have. Injured him self. Ketchel rushed right at him, but the tricky champion was waiting for hlra. He swung a hard right to the Jaw, and. quick as a flash, shot a left to tha body. As Ketchel fell backward Johnson sent in an other right to the faca and the white man went to the mat as If shot, where he lay prone, with blood streaming from his mouth. He made a weak effort to arise, but fell hack again and was counted out. Receipts Total $23,000. A conservative estimate tonight placed the house at 25.009, of which the fighters received 60 per cent or about J IS, 000. Of this Johnson received 60 per cent, or J3000, and Ketchel 0 per cent, or JSOOU. FISHER REDEEMS PREVIOUS WORK Plays Phenomenal Ball and Vernon Is Bumped by Score of 10 to 1.

Tliis helpod to bring about the downfall of . Vernon, 10 to 1. Not onlv did Fisher field his posi tion like a big leaguer, but he also distinguished himself by securing the only home run in the game and three safeties out of four times at bat. His four-sacker cleared the right field fence by several feet and brought in Ort from second base. With the exception of the first in ning, the game was a walk-away for Portland till it was cajled at the end of the eighth on account of darkness. Vance was negotiated for a total -of 12 hits and seemed easier to find as the game progressed. In addition to the home-run secured by Fisher, lie was aaso touched for a three-bagger by Oraney, the latter bringing in two men from the bases. Seaton in the box for Portland proved a puzzle ex cept in the first inning, when three of the five hits he allowed were se cured by the Vernpnites. Stovall, the first man up for Ver-i non, hit a clean one. past second, Mc Kay was - out at first, Martinke hit, and then Stovall was brought in on an error for the., only Vernon score of the game. . In the seventh, Vance was found for a total of four hits, which netted three runs for Portland. ... The runs were made on a combination of three hits, a fielder's choice and a base on balls. In Portland's half of the eighth Cooney led off with - a two-sacker, Olson reached first on an error by Devereaux. and both were' brought home by Graney's three-bagger. The game was not allowed to proceed fur ther' on account of gathering dark ness and because the score was piling up too fast on one side. The official score follows: VERNON.

XsnffiI J 1 Where Ten Acres Is a Fortune Bulletin Xo. 214. of the United States Department of Agriculture, says of the soil of Central Washington: "The soil throughout Central Washington is deep and rich and, with a few exceptions, is fit for agriculture. Owing to the light . rainfall and the wide sagebrush plains, the general appearance of the countiy is barren and sterile; vet where irrigation is practiced the crops are un usually large. Jlay, alfalfa, wheat, oats, potatoes, hops, fruits, and vegetables of all kinds are'ra'ised in abundance. The weeks and months of uninterrupted sunshine during the long Summers admit of. an almost tropical- luxuriance of growth wherever the necessary am omit of moisture is supplied. "Following the flow of the Columbia lava, Central and Eastern Washing ton, as well as some parts of Idaho and Northern Oregon, were covered by a lake known. as Lake John Day, into which streams washed mild and sand, and volcanoes in time of 'violent eruption strewed vast quantities of fine white dust and lapilli. That these lake deposits were, continued for a very long period of time is made evident by the great depth of the formation. "At a later date the Columbia lava and the superimposed lake deposits were upraised and tilted, exposing the lava in places. The sedimentary deposit has been almost entirely washed away, leaving the . lava as the surface rock. These lake deposits are usually light colored, unconsolidated sediment. "That all the irrigated districts and all the great wheat belt of Washing ton were parts of a great lake bottom, made up of disintegrated basaltic rocks and volcanic dust, accounts for their very great fertility-, as this is the most fertile .soil in the Xorthwest." . Crops on the Irrigated Tracts For so young an industry fruit raising is rapidly assuming large - propor tions. The fruits generally raised are peaches, pears, apricots, nectarines, ap ples, grapes, cherries and beries, depending somewhat upon the locality. W. M. Little, from 4 acres of 7-year-old orchard in 1907, picked 2028 boxes of Winesap apples and 75 boxes of Summer fruit, which netted him $4451. Charles B. Eeed says:. v "My pear trees are 1 rod apart, or 1G0 trees to the acre; the pear trees have yielded an average of 10 boxes per tree each year for the last three years (190;, -1904 and 1905) ; the net price received in 1903 Avas 85 cents per box, or $8.50 per tree; in 1904, 75 cents per box, or $7.50 per tree; in 1905, 95 cents per box, or. $9.50 per tree a total for three years of $8.50, $7.50 and $9.50, or an average of $8.50 per tree, or at the rate of $1360 net per acre per year." Apples easily lead the list in the magnitude of the orchards and the extent of their distribution. The small fruits are extensively and profitably grown, but the gross returns from Winter apples ; easily outstrip them all. A' long growing season, fertile soil, plenty of moisture, and abundant sunshine conspire to mature the apple, to give it size and a'fine flavor and to intensify its color ing. "''' ' The following statements, showing in a general way the distribution of fruits raised, the yields, and the market prices, are authoritative and cm be re lied upon. A considerable number of them are tabulated from the affidavits of the parties raising the crops. These: statements were secured ' from men who gave their orchards careful attention and in .return get the best results. There are plenty of growers who 'do not do nearly so well. True, their lands may not be quite so favorably located, but generally a tree, like an animal, re sponds to care, and where good husbandry and a slight knowledge of the busi ness are found the yields are satisfactory.

We still have on sale, some beautiful tracts, with, perpetual water right for $125 to $150 per acre, on terms of 14 cash, and the balance in six years.
