to duck away from some hard blows. The
round was in Fits' favor.
The opening of the fifth round was
marked by cautious fainting. Flu then
landed two lefts on Jeff' fac and re
ceived two heavy blows on the body In
return. Flu then went to the ropes, get
ting two punches In th face and return
ing two body blows from the hips as he
escaped. A moment later he handed the
big fellow a terrific right on the jaw and
then a left on the nose. Jeff retaliated
by laying open Ftts's right cheek. Just
as the gong Bounded the champion's left
eye was split by a hot left.
Crouching low. the boilerraaker opened
the sixth with left lead for the head,
but the Cornish man blocked neatly and
got away, returning righti on tha head,
the body and the nose. Jeff then ducked
away and lefu were exchanged, Ftts's
being the most dangerous. Th big man
then put hi opponent to th ropes,' rbut
failed to land, and got more than he
gave.
Fierce rushes by Jeffries, who was cov
ered with blood, marked the seventh
round. Fits, smiling good naturedly,
stopped the mall and banded out left
Jabs freely, many of which told on Jeff s
damaged face. Fits forced-Jeff to the
rope at one time, but took two terrible
swings on the Body, which, however, did
not appear to distress him. Although
presenting a terrible appearance, the
champion did not seem tired when the
round was ended, and waited impatient
ly for the battle to be renewed.
Th eighth and last round opened with
the Cornlshman standing erect and feint
ing with hi left Jeffries ducked a left
swing, and handed hard on Bob's ribs.
Then. they mixed. Fits landing a left on
the face and getting tow on the head.
Jeff then resumed his crouching position
and started in to foro the issue, landing
a stiff punch on the body. A'cllnoh fol
lowed and as th men separated Fits
smiled and spoke to the champion. Be
fore he oould get away a left hook on the
stomach and a terrific left smash on the
jaw had done the business, and Fttzslm

tried to rally, but before he could regain

th frequent desertions of sailors are not
altogether due to th Influence brought

St. Johns Annexation.
The promotors of the Incorporation
movement at St Johns are about to give
up their project on account of the indif
ference of the residents of the proposed,
town, and are now talking of having a
bill Introduced In the next legislature for
the purpose of bringing the suburbs Of
St. Johns inside the city limits of Port
land. Most of the residents are in favor
of this plan and It Is likely that they
will try to carry it out. A few years ago
St Johns was inside the corporate limit
of Portland, but there was a great deal
of complaint among the-4eople of th
the large taxes and the few benefits set
ually derived, so the leglnlature gav
them back their freedom. Now all this
sentiment Is changed, and they say that
if Portland will take them back that they
will be good.
Bad Holes in Street.
Numerous complaints have been made
by teamsters on account of the bad con
dition of the elevated roadway on East
Motrlson street between East Wster
street and I'nton avenue.5 When the task
of1 tilling in the street was begun holes
had to be cut in the pavement to allow
the dirt to be thrown through. This
weakened the planking considerably and
the street Is now In an unsafe condition
for team trafllo. , The street is the only
thoroughfare to the Morrison-street
bridge and has to carry most of the traf
fic passing from the east to the , west
side.

,WILL; STOP EMIGRATION.
A dispatch from Olympla, Wash., says;
'The recent passage of the National irri
gation bill which Is expected to do so
much for the Northwest will have one
effect which has been generally over
looked. It will probably serve to stop the
tremendous immigration from the United
States iruo Northwest Canada by open
ing up groat stretches of land for settle
ment under Government protection. It
la presumed that If the opportunities
in tftelr tiwii countries are increased,
farmers will not be so anxious to drift
over into Canada for agricultural lands.
'Few people realize the extent of the
drift across the border. J. J. Hill, presi

that 2.Q00 settlers went off his line into
Manitoba between January 1 and June
1. 1903, and the loss of 25,000 American

the coast one in Portland, one in San Francisco, one in Spo- I
kane and one in Sacramento.

gets a regular standing order from oucjour stores for so many
each month than he could if we ordered only now and then
for only one store. ,
