Horscfall defeating Ilcicher.
Fred Radtke® was. the outstand

defeat all his opponents, allowing
but foiijr touches to be scored
against him in the three bouts.
After taking Joe Black into camp]
with a rapid-fire attack, Miss Wash-j
X burn rested a few minutes and I
then battled Ilcicher in the best !
bout of the afternoon. With a
flashing attack of panvs and
lunges she scored two touches, but
Heichcr was not so easily downed
and managed to add two himself.
She took time out for a drink of
water and then returned setting a
pace that ilcicher could not cope
with. She took Hie last touch, win
ning the match and ending the
meet.

Bandits\Don’tOffer Any Excitement
To Amuse Oregon G raduate in Mexico
“No, we didn't have any revo
lutions and wo weren’t chased by
bandits,” smiled Mrs. Erma Zim
merman Smythe, who for the past
two years has livod at Pilares de
Nai-ozai'i, Sonora, Mexico, where her
husband, Donald Smythe, has been
employed as geologist for the Moe
tezuma Copper company.
“People here in the states call it
Montezuma, but the real Spanish
spelling is Moctezuma,” slie added.
Mrs. Smythe was graduated from
the University of Oregon in the
class of 1911) and majored in jour
nalism. In her senior year she was
associate editor of the Elnerajl.
From 19-1 till 1920 she lived in
China, and since then Mexico has
been her home. Mrs. Smythe and
her small daughter, Virginia, have
been visiting for several months
in the States.
“Northern Sonora is a lot like
southwestern United States,” she
said. “It is an arid desert country
and extremely mountainous. Pil
ares do Naeozari is a mining camp,
high up in the mountains, with only
a small mine train running
there. Of course there is a small and
precarious trail for donkeys through
the passes but it is traveled only
by the natives.
“The Mexicans still retain some
of their picturesque customs, but
they are colored a lot with Ameri
can ways. They love a good time,
especially' do they enjoy the feast
days. The Mexicans are very cuio
tional, and have very strung likes
and dislikes..
“We had a young Mexican girl
work for us,” she related, “and
she grew very fond of Virginia.
When we were^ planning to leave,
she wept all day-, and as we left,
she was still crying strenuously.
The Mexicans have a faculty for
continued weeping.
“The Mexicans there are mixed
with the Yaquiu Indians, and have
had reputations. Cock fighting and
baseball are their favorite games,
also drinking mescal, although the
sale is prohibited by law in mining
camps, but of course bootleggers
get in.
“The mine officials have built a
new theater for the employees that
cost about $10,900. The mine, I
! believe employs around 2,500 men.”
There was an odd looking thick
brown and tan wooly rug on the
floor of the apartment. When asked
what it was for, she replied,
“Did you see Douglas Fairbanks
in 'The Gauche’1? Then you no
ticed the robes thrown over the
saddles of the rebels. That is what
this is, my husband brought it from
Peru. It is made of lama hair on
one side and of sheepskin 0n the
other; it wears forever and is ex
tremely soft.”
She brought out another beauti
ful hand-made wrap, made only in
a little village in Peru, that the
women wear around their shoulders,
and carry their babies in.
Mrs. Smytlie plans on remaining
here for some time. She as at
the Colonial apartments.

Earl L. Moser Speaks
To High Twelve Club
—
; ‘Speculative Investments’
To Be Lecturer’s Subject
Professor Earl L. Moser, of the
! school of business administration
here, spoke to the High Twelve
elub at their luncheon yesterday
noon in the Oslmrn hotel.
“Speculative Investments,” was
the topic on which Professor Moser
addressed the group: The investing
public has seemingly gone wild over
stock speculations, stated the speak
er. One reason for such deep public
interest in the investment market,
is because, such enormous profits
have been taken oil some stocks.
The public reads newspapers and
magazines, giving glowing accounts
of the large sums made on invest
ments. The press fails to point out
however, that many speculators
have taken heavy losses, said Pro
fessor Moser.
The speaker pointed out certain
losses that would have been suffered
lay investment in various stocks
during the past ten years, and the
dangers of tjie uninformed public
speculating with stocks.

Largest Well in
Oregon Drilled
By C. E. Williams
Artesian Turns Out 1400
Gallons Every Minute;
^ ill Irrigate 400 Acres
The largest flowing artesian well
ever drilled in the state of Oregon
was brought in a few days ago by
E. Williams, a student in the
■ geology department of the Univer
sity of Oregon. The well is situ
ated in the north end of Summer
lake valley, in north central Lake
homestead of Mrs. Dosa Wixon, a
school teacher.
A flow of virtually 1,400 gallons
per minute comes from this now
well. It will be used for irrigation
purposes, being sufficient to irrigate
400 acres.
“You can’t raise anything but
sagebrush without water in this
valley, and large part of Eastern
Oregon,” said Williams. “But with
water, you can raise everything but
oranges and bananas. This well cost
Mrs. Wixon $1,400 completed. For
irrigating 400 acres under the irri
gation project, she would have had
[ to |i«y $.'1,200 and a maintenance
fee each year.”
There are deeper and larger wells
in the state, but there is no well
that brings in as many gallons per
minute as the new one in Summer
lake valley. According to Williams,
a seven and five-eighths easing was
placed in the well, which was drilled
to a depth of .‘lilO feet. The record
flow of the well is not expected to
diminish, as the Homey well, close
j bv, the second largest flowing well
in the state, was brought in ten
year.s ago, and its flow has not. yet
diminished.
Williams stated that when the
drill reached 200 feet a tough clay
was encountered, which id)ntinued
| for some 4i> feet further down. It
i is this tough day that holds tho
; water down under the Summer lake
valley, and gives the great pressure
' which caused the heavy flow from
j the well.
