C. | e | Workmen of This City Re- | ceive Agricultural Land At Very Low Cost. HBocause of the industrial condition as It exists in the city, the Chamber of Commerce has decided to again re- vive the system of giving out plots for home gardening to the working man, The Chamber has had experi- ence in this form of assisting those who wish to raise some food which they eat. Up aumtil last year, the gardens wewe run successfully for 3 years, it being thought advisable last year that the gardens be discontinued The popular demand for them is strong this year, because, it is thought that there is plenty of time for development along agricultural lines. The Chamber will foster the fdea if there are enough names on a petition to warrant such action. The officers will be open all next week, and in addition Monday and Tuesday eve- nings from 7 until 9 for the purpose of receiving names of men who wish to take advantage of this offer. As it is getting late in the season, the officials of the Chamber want all who wish a plot to work on, sign in the early part of the week. The plan of letting out plots is simple, The Chamber gets the land and assign it to the men for the ask- ing. The plot which is given to the ap- plicant is as near to his home as pos- sible. o cost attached is just the cost of plowing and furrowing. and is willing to wait for loan until the end of the season. The plots are about 50 by 100 feet and cost attached is about $2 or 50 a plot. It is upderstood that, If enough names appear on the petition, a com- mittee will be appointed and the piots will be available in a week or so.

An elaborate system of fences and wire barricades will prevent congestion at the various en- trances and avoid the possibility of holders of cheaper section tickets en- croaching on the ringside, Begin Training Soon. Both pugilists have been instructed to conform their training plans to the announcement made today. Dempsey will leave Seattle for this city on Sun- day night and after attending to some personal business will settle down to serious conditioning.
