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

ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY, U. 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.
