ROLLER BEATS

Middle-Weight Champion Wrest
ler Goes Down Inder Weight
of Heavier Opponent.
By CnMe to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Seattle, .fctn. 21 A wrestling match
wa> pulled off here last night between
Dr. Roller, instrueteor in a local gym
nasium, and Funner Hums of Iowa,
long time middle-weight champion
wrestler of the world. The doctor
took his li'-st t ill out of Burns at the
end of lifty-tiv. minutes. In the second
set to Burns went down lie fore Roller
at the end of twenty tninuten.
The match was witnessed by a crowd
of 5000 people, who thoroughly enjoy
ed the s{H>rl.
The W est Has Money
Several theories have been advanced
as to the cause of the long delayed
rehabilitation of the New \ ork Bank
reserves. Western bankers claim that
the money which has been accumulated
in that section belongs to the business
interests there, and that it will be re
tained at home to support and encour
age local enterprise. In past years the
West was accustomed to borrow from
the East to move its crops and to
finance its commercial necessities.
The lerge amount of currency ship
ments in the fall represented the em
ployment of eastern capital in these
enterprises. When the demand had
been completed and there was no fur
ther employment for these funds, they
returned to the metropolis to liquidate
the obligations incurred. Now, how
ever, after a period of six years of un
usual prosperity, the agricultural and
industrial centers of the interior are
practically out of debt and control a
large amount of floating capital. Un
der this new condition the western
banks have become more independent
of the east and are in a better jKisition
to control the disposition of their re
serves.—Ex.
A Big Expenditure
Twenty-five million dollars is a
conservative estimate of the expendi
tures planned by the Guggenheim in
terests in connection with the con
struction of the Copper River <$:
Northwestern Railway in Alaska,
which will be built by M. J. Heney,
of Seattle, the man who built the
White Pass & Yukon Railway. It is
the biggest contract ever made in con
nection with the development of
Alaska, says the Victoria Colonist.
Post Cards as Herchandise
The stores are full of leather, wooden
and aluminum cards that have printed
upon them the words, post card.
These cards come to grief because to
go at a postal cate they must be made
of paper. Wood, leather and aluminum
go at merchandise rates, which is one
cent for each ounce. Few cards weigh
more than an ounce and carry at this
rate unless something is written on
them. Then they must bear a two-cent
stamp, as they are first-class mail mat
ter. This class of j*>st cards forms a
part of each day’s grist of dead-letter
office mail.
Mail Arrives From Mope
N. O. Anderson, mail carrier from
Hope, arrived at noon yesterday. He

Whv Fleet Comes to the Pacific
It is unofficially announced at Wash
ington that the reason of the sending
of the fleet of war vessels to the Pacific
is due to the understanding between
the United States and China. It is
said that by reason of the cancellation
on the part of the United States of the
i indemnity against China on account of
the Boxer war, the Chinese gov
ernment has signified its intention of
turning the trade of that empire from
Japan to the United States, and prom
ises to use all its influence to that end.
Japan, in turn, threatens trouble for
China if this promise is carried out.
It is further said that China is boycot
ting English goods and that upon the
arrival of the American fleet in Pacific
waters the boycott will bo extended to
Japanese goods also. While these an
nouncements are unofficial they are
given credence in Washington, and if
the reported plans are carried out it
will give the United States the richest
trade in the world.

Register Company at Dayton, Ohio,
