4 BOXING TRUST IN SPOKANE It looks as though tho next two months will see at least two box ing COtlhßltti in Spokane. "Kid" Parker, of Denver, has signed to meet "Dude" Lewis at the gymna sium of the Athletic duh about Thanksgiving. There seems to be a desire on the part of all con cerned in this match to keep the matter until the Independent club that is handling the Long-Sealer match is "run out of town" so as to leave an open Held fer the S. A. A. C. This "dog in tlie manger" policy of Director Cook is poor spr.rttmanship. He has been treated very well since his ar rival and has been given every as sistance possible from lovers of sport In general: but such tactics as he is now adopting don't gain anything for him in the long run. People of Spokane have always shown a desire to let the other fel low live. When Rddie Quinn had Ihe management of the S. A. A. C. he "kept off the grass" so far as "knocking" was concerned, and only desired that his club be allow ed a date a month and that the In dependents hold their matches at dates which did not conflict with his own. Prosecutor arnhart has boon quoted as saying he will allow no "boxing contests'' in this county. Barnhart is overstepping his au thority, as there are no laws against boxing. If there were he would, in his great desire to main tain and uphold the laws, have stepped in at the S. A. A. C. last night and stopped those three round bouts. The Independents do not plan pulling off a prize fight such as is barred by laws of the state, but will pull off a boxing contest for points at the Spokane theater December 6. Kid Sealer is making plans to train at Medical Lake for his bout with Louie Long. "My right arm is stronger than ever." says. Sealer, "and my left always was ; good." Sealer will do a lot of boxing at the lake, as he is de-! termined this time to beat Long NICK WOULDN'T PAY ALICE LOST BOQUET TOLEDO. 0., Nov. 10.—Here's the boy who had the nerve to hold up Mrs. Alice Roosevelt-Long worth, the president's daughter, hy phen and all.

"A quarter," quoth Howard, un bluahlngly, But Mr. Longworth demurred. "The republican committee is pay ing all my expenses," he argued. "Well, they ain't paying your messenger fees," declared Howard. "Gimme a quarter or gimme back the posies." Still Mr. Longworth demurred. History does not relate what his better half had to say, but at that moment the train began to move. "Not a cent,'' said Mr. Long The soda cracker is an ideal food. Uneeda Biscuit are the ideal soda crackers. Indeed, the soda crackers rightly made in the first place, rightly protected first, last and all the time. 5* NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY PRINCETON WILL GIVE YALE THE FIGHT OF THE YEAR CAPT. H L.

A FEW REMARKS ABOUT COUNT BONI. Don't think I am going to pass over Count Boni <le Castellane. You can't ignore Uoni, the unspeak able French shrimp with the dis tended cranial crust and the tin foil title of a snide nobility who bruises his misguided little Ameri can wife every time he thinks of the money she has left. Hut it is lbtterness and gall to think that he can't be handed what he ought to get—a good, old fashioned coat of tar and feathers. If you can think of a strong, com prehensive word which expresses the depth of your contempt for the perverted, pestiferous and pusil lanimous pill which masquerades under the guise of a human being POVERTY STRICKEN WORKMAN TAPS WELL THAT YIELDS HIM $2862 DAILY FRANKLIN, Pa., Nov. 10—Two weeks ago Andrew Rapp was one of the poorest of the men who work along the hillside oil fields in this vicinity. He was obliged lo work very hard, and his wife pinched and worked herself. Now Mr. and Mrs. Rapp are handling great rolls of bank notes —their own —which come in at the rate of $2,802 a day. Rapp struck an oil gusher the other day, and it made him rich at 57, after more than 40 years of hard, incessant, often painful, toil. That is why they call the Rapp well "The Poor Man's Gusher." Now rich and poer alike are look ing for more gushers. Repp has the bent chance, as the land which he is working on a lease is all around the big well. He may get several wells more like it. Sharing his fortune is another poor man, Wintherup, who owns the farm. He and his wife had to eke put their existence In their declining years by boarding oil men. As the lessor of the land he Is entitled to one eighth of the oil it produces. The Rapp well will net him $15 an hour. Rapp Is an industrious man who has been an oil operator in a small way for years in a supposed ly played-out Venango county field. The wells have been half barrel to two barrel ones. It was like gleaning a'Kansas wheat field after a self-binder had passed over it. Rapp had a part ner in the Wintherup lease near Kenuerdell, but the latter became disgusted with the poverty and sold out his ghare to Rapp about five years ago. Rapp had to borrow the money. In fact he has been almost always in debt for machinery and supplies, so hard was the struggle. He had a great deal of faith in the field, however, as the Indica tions, feeble though they were, made him believe that some day there would be a worth while flow •f OIL SPOKANE PRESS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1906. The new bunch of football rulea suit the Tigers down to the ground, as they are quick to respond to the coach's calls for speed and yet more speed. . Princeton has a fast set of backs and a line which can throw more than half a ton of brawn and bone into action in a charge. In the line up are Ex-Captain Cooney, Herring, Stanard, Rheinstein and Dillon. All except Rheinstein have been varsity stars before. He haa fought his way up after three years on the scrub.

When the drill had gone two feet into the sand there was an immediate flow of oil and a gas pressure so strong that the men were compelled to shut the well down and move the boiler back from the danger zone. Then the drill was started again, and when it got three feet further down there was a recoil of the rope and the fluid began to spurt :>ut. Then it gushed, and before the men could realize what was taking place theoil was shooting as high as the derrick. The spray covered the derrick and all the trees around. Before Rapp and his astonished helpers could curb the flow more than 100 barrels had been lost. The record of the well for the first few days Indicates that ft Is good for 75 barrels an hour, or 1,800 barrels a day. At the pres ent price of Pennsylvania crude. tHls would net $2,8fi2 a day.
