It will take a large sum of money
to get the trails open this year.
The storms experienced during the
past year brought down an unpre

one case tne teiepnone crews were
forced to make 52 splices In one

as there are several hundred miles
of trail to cover, this work will
take a great deal of time.
Road work Is now occupying the

SALEM, Ore., June 2. Fred A.
Reals, of Tillamook, state senator
from Tillamook county and H. M.
Garland, of Lebanon, Benator from
Linn county, yesterday received
appointment as members of the
state fish commission, Deals to
succeed F. P. Kendall, of Portland,
whose term has expired, and Gar
land to succeed John C. Veach of
Portland, who has resigned.
Governor Pierce appointed Beals
and Garland, following a comprom
ise agreement after a conference
during most of the afternoon with
Garland, Beals, Senator B. L. Eddy
of Roseburg, and Senator George
Joseph, of Portland.
Through an agreement entered
into during the legislative session
last winter Senators Beals. Eddy
and Garland were to have the ap
pointing of a member of the com'
mission upon the expiration of
Kendall's term. Garland to name
the man in case the three could
not agree. It developed that they
conld not agree, for the reason
mainly that certain Southern Ore
gon names proposed by Senator
Eddy -were neither satisfactory to
the governor or the other two Sen
ators. This resulted in the ap
pointment of Beals who was anxi
ous to have the job. Senator Eddy
Is very friendly to Garland and out
of consideration for Eddy the gov
ernor appointed Garland to suc
ceed Veatch. Senator Joseph's
feelings In the matter also were
considered In the Gnrland appoint-
I menu
Garland will assume the duties
:of commissioner as soon as he re
turns from California, where he
will go on a pleasure trip for sev
eral weeks. He said yesterday
that he had not requested the ap
pointment and did not come to
Salem with the expectation of get
ting it. John C. Veatch, whom
Garland succeeds, was appointed
bv the governor to succeed Dr.
Ross of Portland when Pierce
ousted Ross on allegations of ex
travagance. Veatch has barely
served on the board, however, be
cause Ross refused to quit until
he had been removed by a decl
jslon of the court.
I Jefferson Myers, former treas
urer, was with the governor much
of the time yesterday and Is be
'lleved to have advised him rela
jtlve to the appointments. Myers
was looked upon as a probable ap
Ipointee at the time the governor
removed Ross.
Senntot Garland, who has been
appointed to the state fish com
mission Is friendly to the commer
cial and sporting Interests of
southern Oregon, according to Sen
ator B. L. Eddy, who returned this
morning from Salem after a confer
ence with the governor which re
sultedtln the new appointments.
"My effort" Mr. Eddy says,
"have been to see that the Umpqua

Plans for the formation of a
boxing commission for Hoseburg,
were presented to the city coun
cil last night, and an ordlnuuce
providing for the appointment of
men to compose such a commis
sion waa reud first and second
times, final adoption being post
poned until the next meeting of
the council.
A petition was presented to the
council bearing the names of 150
business and professional men
asking for the appointment ot
a Commission. Steps have alrea
dy been taken to organize an ath
letic club in this city, with a
view of eventually providing a
gymnnsium for general uso. This
club (fosires to'arrauge boxing
and wrestling mutrhea, and o
conduct such events under the
supervision of a commission, and
to ue the profile for the pur
chase of such equipment and
paraphanalia as is necessary tor
the furnishing of the gymnasium
There has been a oVsire for
a boxing commission in this city
for a numlier of years. The state
law providing the procedure for
holding boxing and wrestling
matches was adopted In 1919, It
being provided thut all such con
tests must be under the supervi
sion of a' commission appointed
by municipalities, and placing
certain restrictions around tho
amounts to be paid various par
ties, such as matchmakers, etc.,
limiting the number of rounds,
and providing for the physicul In
spection of all contestants. Un
der these rules many of the cities
of the state hare been regularly
conducting boxing matches which
have been of much interest to
sport fans.
An attempt was made In 1920
to secure a commission in Roso
burg, but an organist d opposition
developed and the proposition
even went as far as a special elec
tion, In which the commission
was defeated by a small margin.
Since that time there have been
several attempts made to renew
the proposition, but there was no
organization behind It to take
the necessary steps. The new
athletic club, however, has caused
I the petition to be circulated, and
I the usual form of ordinance was
drawn up and presented to the
council lust night for the first
and second readings.
The council agreed that In the
'event the ordinance was adopted,
I that the commission should be
'composed of at least five men.
!and that these five should be
I carefully selected by the Mayor
and his appolntenients pnssed
upon by the council. It was also
proposed thut an amendment be
included that all profits from
such bouts should go to charit
lalile Institutions or organizations,
lor to some civic organizations or
Ipurposv, such as the band, library,
etc., but no definite action was
taken on this matter.
The ordinance will come up for
final adoption at the next meeting
of the council, to bo held on
June 15, and at that time It will
be definitely determined whether
or not the commission Is to be
established.
