Onn 'he biggest surprises yf my
life Jrtook me yesterday. w hen 1
was brined that a steel mill, cost

land (mediately adjoining my llege
nisejarm. I have a railroad front

the her side the Interurban rail
roarhs purchased three acres for a

hasJans laid out for a city street

Ihe Sumar supreme is the suit of blue. There’s
something optimistic about a dashing blue suit in summer

wearer.
There are other things to con-

gin tn lay out my farm in building
lots. I will plot out two or four
blocks at a time, have the streets
paved with asphalt, make them wide
just like Broadway. New York—
have sewers, city water, gas and
electricity- installed, cement sidewalks
and combination curbing gutters on
each side of the streets. Then I will
build nice, modern cottages on each
lot and sell them on easy payments,
so that every young married man will
have a good chance to get up in this
world—that is. providing lie has a bit
of energy in his system.
You know F started from the bot
tom and I realize the value of a dol
lar. I am going to try and be of some
good in this world for the growing
generation. Os course. I am not going
to give away anything in this case,
but it is a legitimate business prop
osition. My motto will be “Live and
Let Live."
My hands are feeling so good 1 w ill
do light training every morning next
week, ami plow on my farm in the
afternoon. If the bones can stand
the strain of hitting. I wdl box some
one on July 4. If not. I'll give my
personal attention to the land devel
opment. A week ago a real estate
man wanted an option on rny farm
for 60 days, offering me $2,000 an acre.
Bui 1 refused to grant the option,
although I offered to sell the farm at
that price at (he time. He must have
had some inside information about the
steel mill, and I'm glad now that I
did not sell.
If this thing materializes according
to plans, the mill people take posses
sion July 1. and start breaking ground
immediately. Consequently, it looks
as though my span of dabbling with
the boxing gloves is short lived now.
Anyway. I worked extremely hard
for everything I have, and I have
taken practically every dollar possi
ble out of my’ profession. Further
more, I obtained my fortune honestly
erne thing of which 1 am proud.
If at any time anything happens
which I think will be of interes to
you, I will let you know. I wai t to
keep in touch with you, anyway, just
for old times sake, if for nothing
more. ’Thine.

BUILT FOR BIG FIGHT <
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. Al., May
17.—With the site for the
arena picked and with the
contract for the building of the
arena placed, two of the most Im
portant details of the Jim Flynn-
Jack Johnson fortr -five-round con
test in East Las Vegas. N. M„ July

of 17,150, and every seat will be a
reserved one.
As treasurer. Mark Lewis, of
Chicago, will begin selling seats
within a fortnight's time, and as
Promoters Jack Curley and Charles
■ O'Malley have arranged with the
Wells-Fargo Express Company to
have seats on sale in every one of
its thousand branch offices in the
country, it will he known early in

Should the present seating ca

All East Las Vegas was happjr
today when the morning paper®
came out giving General Fran®
Clancy's opinion that as there is n*»
law in the state of New Mexicil
prohibiting the contest between
Flynn and Johnson he does not for
the life of him see how it can be
stopped.
The good citizens who are to a
man strong for the light began to
celebrate. There was general re
joicing all around town, and to
night dozens of bonfires were con
structed In appreciation of East
Las Vegas' successful stand for In
dependence.
