In most of the states these associations hava about held their own, although the re ductlon of the Interest rate for the past few years has had. a tendency to bring back money loaned out by them at higher than existing rates, and associations un able , to make desirable loans have ro turned some of ' the Idle accumulated funds to, their stockholders, causing a de. crease in. ifeeir assets. Building and loan fl8soclUoasupervor -in. a number oT states are agreed that the associations were not sufficiently prompt in meeting the reduced interest rate and that, as result, they have lost some profitable business.' ThlB is to be accounted for, possibly under the theory that, as assocla tlons' Were desirous of ascertaining if the conditions favorable to -a reduction were temporary only, and, with their usual conservatism, they were reluctant to reduce .

Manager MeC.ronkey of the Butte team kept his word yesterday and did not try to tangle up the umpire. In fact, he could not, even If he so desired. Mr. Cunningham was absolutely Impartial In his decisions and there coutd have been no "kick" coming from either side. " It was one of the cleanest games ever played on the local diamond. Portland lost, and that was all there was to it Butte simply played better ball and won the game fairly and squarely, so there was no kick coming, unless It was among thOBe who backed the home team, and they got a run for their money. Roach, In the box for the.. visitors, did excellent work and showed that he Is well worthy of a, position1 In the National League. Yesterday's game made the 11th out of 12 games he has won since he joined forces . with McCroskey. Both teams put up un excellent fielding game. Anderson was there with bells and car ried off the honors of the day, whllo Vun Buren was a close' second. Both took chances ut everything th,at came their wa yand neither hiulMn error chalked up against him. Little Sammy behind the plate also covered more territory than was his share, but escaped with but one technical error. The six he pulled down would do credit -to any one. But the Butte boys must riot be over looked at any stage of the game. They are all fast ball players and are dan gerous at any time. Manager McCroskey said upon arriving here that Portland was liable to land the pennant ' again, but that was "hot-air." He Is looking for It himself and expects to land It with his high-salaried team. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

July '3. Mrs. Robert Fltssimmons feels as confident of suc cess for her husband in the contest with Jeffries as she' did on the eve of the conflict at Carson City, where she played a spectacular part. Writing from Skaggs Springs to her brother, Martin Julian, aho says: . . . "I think Bob will win from Jeffries this time, though I never have underesti mated Champion Jeffries' fighting pow ers. The first time he fought JIM : he certainly did not. take """the eon test seri ously, and as you and I had to keep at him continually to make him get in any kind of shape. ' , 2, ' "I was at no tims really certain, but today I ' can honestly say. I think Bob will win this fight, and win quickly. If Jeffries will only go after him Bob will give him such a shaking up from the start that he wIM forget all he ever knew. : .".''. " ' "X have never taken my eyes oft Bob during his training hers, and he la ' bet ter than . ha has ever been since ho first cams to this country I want to be In durlnf the fight,' f they CORBKTT TOUTS, JEFF. NEW YORK, July 23.-Jim Corbett expects the champion to knock Fits out 'ng before the limit. Corbett says that while he considers Fltzslmmons one of the most dangerous men In the ring, fie expects Jeffries to do the trick in about 10 rounds. "I do not underestimate Fltzslmmons' ability. He Is dangerous man at any stage of the game. He always lus 4 punch, and ft's a punch that generally gets the winner's and of the purse. While I think. Jeffries will win, I don't be lieve he Is a 10 to 4 favorite as quoted. If Fltzslmmons Is e-olna to win he will have to do so early In the bout. "The longer the' battle continues the better will Jeffries' chnnces be. 1 would like to see Jeffries win. and If he; Is the victor I will take the train the day after the fight for the Coast We are practically matched to meet August 80, but should Jeffries bv an -chance lose the match it will be off." "TURNER CONFIDENT. A Stocketon, Cat., dispatch says: "Rufe Turner, who will fight Gans fn Oakland next Thursday night has taken off weight In a surprising manner the last few days,' Rufe now weighs lets than 135 but la' "fn "splendid shape. He will do very little road work fromnow on. This afternoon he did a big stunt with the gloves. He did several fast rounds with George Eckhurdt. who is a remarkably good fighter. Then Langley fought boxing is too mild ji term three rounds with Rufe. The Stockton light weight hud not turned a hair by this time. "Charley Turner, Rufe's half brother, once a famous man in the ring, men went five rounds With Gans' prospective opponent. Charley employed all his old time cleverness and strength, but Rule beat him to the punch every time. Tur ner will do no work tomorrow. The only fear his friends have Is that he may go too fine. It Is now estimated that a thousand Stockton sports will attend the fight. All are admirers of Turner, who will bet their money on the Stockton scrapper. ' Turner is sure of winning. His confidence is equalled only by hi punch." Billy Delaniy, the famous trainer, was discussing the Cans-Turner contest yes .Hlt.vuiA p&( in. his .usual nalm and wise fashion. He said: -uaus oetler rtOt take any chances with this fellow Tur ner. He has a punch in either hand, and If he lands it 1 on Joe there will be a new champion next Thursday night. Gans must make a' careful fight against-Rufe and he will win. I see Joe has to train down to make the weight. That is too bad." DONOVAN-JACKSON. Los Angeles sports will certainly see a swell bout Tuesday evening when Mike Donovan and Young Peter Jackson meet In their 20-round go. Both men ere. hard hitters and came to the core, which Is about all a man needs, coupled with science, to get to the top.. Donovan's two fights with Al Nelll in the South, made for him a good following and his recent knockout of Tim Murphy in IS rounds Dlaced him up the list In the Southern city but his Eastern repu tatlon Is enough to carry him anywhere on the map. He is about the only man In the ring who has met Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and slipped him the big scare. O'Brien would rather meet, any middleweight in the world than fight Welterweight Jack inn mrnln. Peter's last go W8S With Bob Long, who lasted 16 rounds, the po lice stopping the go to save him from further punishment. INTEREST REVIVED. In the London Sportsman of last month there appears an Interesting and appar ently a very fair resume of the fights contested in that country during the cor onation tournament It will be of espe cial Interest to Americans, inasmuch as the boxers from this side are given credit for doing splendid work, and incidentally reviving Interest in the manly art, which has been dormant there of late years. Of the American scrappers Ryan and Walcott came in tor fulsome praise, par ticularly the former, who simply astound ed the Britishers by his superb clever ness and ring generalship. Kid McFad den Is likewise given due credit for mak ing a resolute fight against Jordan, who was pounds heavier. FOR GOOD THAT THEY CAN DO At the last meeting of the Indo-American League, held St tbs home, of Mrs. Frame, on the Heights, a paper was read, showing the need of watchful care over the little ones employed in the textile in dustries of the South.

Plans to Establish One at the Union Depot. Money for Immigration Litera ture Easily Raised. The success with which the can- vasslng committee of the Chamber ...OI Commerce and the Board of 4y Trade for the publishing of Ore- gpn literature Ja meeting far ex . ceeds the expectations. Yesterday afternoon more than one-half of .the desired amount was subscribed, and the solicitors are certain they will succeed today in raising the 12500. The prevailing oplnltm among the business men Is'that 32500 Is not sufficient to accomplish the de sired results, and many favor rais ing twtce that amount. Since there Is such a unanimity of willingness on the part of the people to help In this undertak' Ing, another plan has been taken up for still further advertising the 4- , resources of the state. While this committee Is at work, an effort Is to be made to raise sufficient funds, about $2500, with which to place a permanent exhibit at the Union depot. This exhibit will con sist of the various products of tho state, set oft into different sections according to the counties which contribute to the exhibit together with literature advertising the par ticular section. This undertaking Is meeting with encouragement equal to that of the former plan of advertising the state by litera- -ture. f Some of the business men of the city are complaining that the" amount sought Is too small.

It will be a great improvement on the old one. In stead of having one horsepower, the new one will have a three-horsepower motor; the weight will be from 90 to 100 pounds; the machine Is to have a regulative speed of from four to" 40 miles an hour; a com bination chain-belt, Mr. Fritz's own in vention, will be attached. The ordinary chain Is Incased in small leather wash ers, gives the necessary friction and pre vents rust from wet weather.

Some of the Persian grandes are at tended by fully 20 servants, but the orui nary household of the pilgrim J consists of 6 general waiter, a water-keeper, " a cook, a Scullion, a footrunner andV pipe bearer. 1 r The Arabs sing to their camels a deep, melodious song called '"Hodl." which has the effect of a spur on them and urires them, to a brisk unchanging pace.

Mr. Montague claims that the Sheriff has no right to Charge ll.SQ under the statues. The Oregon laws relating to the seizure of an unlicensed bicycle reads as follows: . "Ths County Court oj- the Board of County Commissioners, by a general or der entered on this journal, may order a warrant to Issue to the Sheriff of the county to collect a license tax of $1 on all delinquents as shall fiot have paid said license tax prior to April 1 of each year. and under such warrant said Sheriff shall have power and authority to seise and sell, as upon execution, any bicycle for the amount of said tax, together with the cost and expenses of said seizure and sale, or . may collect tne same out of any property of said delinquent in the same manner as other delinquent taxes are collected. It is claimed that the manner of the Sheriffs collecting the penalty la not In accordance with the law, which pro vides that tne wheel .is to be sold as upon execution. J. C.
