Loser Get« Lion’s Share, The fight was tor a purse of 000, of which Burns received 000. Johnson 15,000. The ring was a 24-foot one and was pitched in the center of a big arena built especlal- ly for the purpose at Rushcutter's bay. The bout was to have been for 20 rounds. The day dawned overcast and cool, Thousands of persons from all parts of the country were attracted to the scene of the encounter and many reached there Christmas night and slept in the open. They came by street cars, automobile«, carriages and on horseback, and at 10 o’clock this morning, one hour before the fight was scheduled to start, every seat was occupied. The prices of seats ranged from >2.50 to 325. The crowd was estimated at be tween 18,000 and 20,000 persons, and ft kept perfect order throughout the fight. A brass band enlivened the holiday throng. No Bandages Allowed. The referee, however, here took a hand In the controversy and said the wearing of bandages was against the rules, Johnson still demurred, never theless, and Burns, with a show of impatience, had his seconds unwind the tape. His action brought forth from the spectators a tremendous round of applause. The men agreed that if the police should interfere and stop the fight, the referee should decide the fight on points. At 11:15' o'clock Johnson and Burns posed for a moving picture machine and had received final in struction from Referee McIntosh and retired to their corners. Then th6 battle began.

S N. Admiral George Dewey .who ro ceived from congress a vote ot thanks and the rank of admiral in recognition of his distinguished ser vices in the battle of Manila Bay, celebrated his seventy-first birthday today. His friends and admirers throughout the country remembered the anniversary with a flood of feli citous greetings and good wishes. Admiral Dewey, despite hiB seven ty-one years, Is in the full enjoy ment of robust health. With the ex ception of a summer vacation at his old home iu Vermont he remains in Washington the greater part of the year. When in the city he never fails to s|>end several hours each day in his office in build hand Ing, and frequently before any of his clerks, presi- dent of the general board he keeps in close touch with all that the navy does and It is safe to say that no one in the land has followed with closer attention or keener Interest the pro gress of the Atlantic battleship fleet on its trip around the world than has the hero of Manila bay. As admiral he is always on the ac tive list, and unlike any other offi cer in the army or navy, cannot be i retired for age or any other cause At the «Unie time he need not work If he preferred to do nothing nnd as long as he lives he will receive the gratitude of the nation. Cottage Grove men will probably present to the next legisla ture the proposition to form a new county, with Cottage Grove a the county seat. Business men of Cottage Grove want the help of Eugene influence, and purpose to arrange an amicable agree ment between Cottage Grove and Eugene business men. Not only is a part of Lane county wanted, but a big slice < Douglas county is coveted by the agitators From Lane county the new division would take the Bohemia district. The boundary line would cross the Middle Fork of the Willamette, coming dow near Goshen, and then running west to the present limits of the county. Thus Blue River would still remain a part of Lane coun ty. In Douglas county that part of the Bohemia mining district which has so long been a matter of dispute between Douglas anc Lane, and the Yoncalla and Drain districts and western part of Douglas tfre desired By this division Gardiner would be includ ed in the new county. The people who have diesussed the new move believe that a division is inevitable, if not during the coming year at least in less than four years. They think that both the peoplo at Rose burg and here in Eugene would readily give up a part of their counties to them. The only difficulty they seem to apprehend 1 the location of the new boundaries Rather than fight for the division, as the peoplo of Hoot River did. they wish to conciliate both Douglas and Lane county people, and for that matter have broached the matter to a num ber of Eugene people. With the help of the representatives of Lane county n Douglas county they think the division can easily be made in the next legislature, and that there will be no need to attempt the initiative. The great betterment that is expected is in the administra tion of the district affected. It is said that with a smaller execu tive district much better roads would be built in all three districts and that greater attention would be paid to the vital interests of the distict. The name for the new county has not yet been decided upon, but in case such a ne wunit is formed it would probably be Bo hemia. Tbs Boyd Te» wagon calls at your door with treskly ruaMetl codes.
