London, Nov. 2.—Jimmy Britt, the California fighter, defeated Johnny Summers of England in the tenth round tonight at Wonderland. The conditions of the fight called for ten rounds at 133 pounds. The men weighed in at 3 o’clock in the afternoon Summers had the better of the first two rounds and Britt, seeming to realize his disadvantage, put more energy into his work and shaped up much better in the succeeding rounds. The Englishman showed great cleverness and in the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds looked to be a winner. Britt came back, however, and fought his man to the ropes, having a considerable advantage in the ninth and tenth rounds. The American was declared the winner on points, although a considerate esection of the spectators who filled the hall questioned the referee’s decision. IN TROUBLE OVER ELECTION.

EARLY RETURNS (Continued from Fags One) they are expecting the more progresj sive Indiana, Wisconsin, lowa, Ne- ■ braska, Kansas and pcssibly Illinois farmers to show a considerable change, for they are recognized by both sides as being more in touch with the moral side cf the campaign and more aggressive in delivering a rebuke if they think one is coming. ■ Whle both sides in their bluffing have talked landslide —the Republicans at the same time, admitting a big slump in state majorities —both are figuring how they can win without New York—the Republicans as much so as the Demccrats. Both can do it, but it is safe to say that the die will be cast by the final reports from Indiana and New York. o— GUARDING FORESTS IN JAPAN How They Accomplish This Important Work. Just at the time when this country is beginning to struggle with the problem of husbanding its forest resources of protecting its meuntain slopes, and of improving the waterways, it is interesting to know that the Japanese

have successfully attacked the same problem, before the land suffered severely from the evil effects following deforestation. The farsighted people iof Nippon have foreseen the results of the destruction cf their extensive mountain forests, and have safeguarded themselves by placing all of these unde r government control. The practice of forestry has been carried on in Japan for a longer time than in any other country. For 1,200 years the people of Japan have been planting and growing forests, with a success that has been a little short of marvelous. Under careful management, the Japanese forests yield very high financial returns. This high yield is only made possible by the close utilization of every bit cf the tree so that scarcely a twig is wasted, and by the improvement of the growth of their forests by carefully conducted thinning and tending. The weeds 're first thinned at the age of thirteen years, and then every five years after that up to the time of the final harvest, at 120 years. It was with the opening up of the hitheto inaccessible nfountain forests ihat the Japanese government became most intensely interested in fcrestry. The mountains were still government land, so all that was necessary to protect them was to place proper restrictions on the sale and cutting of timber. This was effected by declaring the forests on the steep slopes as reserved forests. in which the only cutting should be done under government direction. The forests on agricultural lands, not needed for protection, are classed as available forests, and here the cutting is not so carefully restricted. Thus Japan has effectually prevented the stripping of her mountain slopes before any great damage has been done. In some district, where the mountains are near the towns, the steep slopes have already been cleared. and this hag resulted in floods and the washing down of the soil from the slopes on to the farm lands. But these cases have been exceptional, and have merely served as a warning, which Japan has heeded before it too late to prevent widespread destruction.

James Chaddock arrived home Saturday night from a thirty days’ trip through Kansas', Oklahoma and Texas. during which he visited with six nephews and nieces at Oklahoma whom he had never seen. Mr. Chaddock reports that crops in the states he visited were fairly good and the alfalfa, the chief crop in Oklahoma, he says was exceptionally good this year. He says that on some fields five crops hav ebeen cut. Mr. Chaddock visited the big Texas state fair at Dallas and says that on one day there were 110,000 people passed the turnstile. —Bluffton Banner.

LETTER FROM A FORTY-NINER. Here is a simple, interesting and sincere let'er from a rugged pioneer of ’49, who braved the dangers and hardships of the overland trail to California. It should appeal to all catarrh victims. Santa Rosa, Cal., May 5, 1908. Both’s Hyomei Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sirs: —I was afflicted with catarrh, and tried a number of remedies, but received no relief. I purchased an outfit of Hyemei, and before I had used the bottle I noted a marked relief. I used It for a month or so, and thought I was cured, and stopped using it for a year or so. Thought I was getting catarrh again, and started using it again. I use it every morning, and keep myself clear of catarrh. I consider it the best catarrh medicine that is used. I have often recommended it to my friends. I am 81 years old. I came to California in 1849, and of course am not as vigorous as I wag 58 years ago. My address is 841 4th Street. Yours truly, W. Mock. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) Is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co. not only for catarrh, but for grip, coughs, colds, bronchitis and croup. A complete outfit, including inhaler, costs only $1.00; extra bottles of Hyomei if afterward needed, cost but 50 cents. HAD A CLOSE CALL. Mrs. Ada L. Croons the widely known proprietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn, Miss., says: “For several months I suffered with a severe cough, and consumption seemed to have its grip on me. when a friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery. I begaa taking it, and three bottles affected a complete cure.” The fame of this life saving cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer is world wide. Sold at all dealers. 50c. and SI.OO. Trial bottle free.
