Eastern Xcwitpaper 3Icn Snjr Good About This Commercial Center. A party of traveling newspaper men from the far East are in town. They are representatives of the Great Eastern ICewppaper League, and are traveling in their own private hotel car, which was bought outright from the Pullman Com pany for the purposes of the tour, which is to afford people of the East accurate information regarding Industrial, com mercial and financial conditions of the entire country west of the Mississippi. A. F. King, the general manager of the league, speaking of the work in hand, ald: "Our car has already covered on this tour a distance of abou 9.000 miles, and west of the Rockies we have visited Se attle. Tacoma and other principal points in "Washington. Idaho and Eastern Ore gon. The whole tour Is unprecedented in newspaper annals, and is a journalistic enterprise of a much greater magnitude than anything of an at all similar nature ever attempted. I personally have crossed the continent twice in the private car since it began. The article to be written about Portland and published simultaneously, that is, on the same date, Jn the New York Sun. Philadelphia Times, Baltimore Herald and Boston Journal will tell what your city is and what op portunities exist here for Eastern emi grants, capital and trade. "The theme of the articles written by our correspondents for the four great newspapers, and they are among the greatest in the world, comprising the league. Is the progress of material and social development In the section that to me seems destined to eventually contain the bulk of the wealth and population of the great American Republic. "We came to Portland to write about its trade and manufactures. "We found it a great com mercial center, a great field for manufac turing and a great port, and the more we see of it the more we realize that it is a great subject for the ablest pens. "We in tended to leave for San Francisco on Saturday next, but have been urged to remain longer and personally desire to do so. Every member of our party is very much pleased with this city. "We have seen so many 'boom' towns that it Is re freshing to visit such a rich, prosperous and substantial community. It looks to our eyes like a solid Eastern city, which has been Imbued with all the energy, breadth and progresslveness of a typical Western town." Max "Wiley, of New York, amateur champion wrestler of the United States in light weight, welter weight and middle weight, defeated' Ed Johnson, of Port land, the middle-weight representative of Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club at the club gymnasium last night In two straight falls In catch-as-catch-can style. The opening bout was between Vic O'Connor and Alex De France for the light-weight championship of the club, and in this O'Connor was the victor in two bouts out of three. About 500 enthusiastic spectators were present, and heartily applauded "Wiley's clever work, not forgetting to cheer on the game Johnson. "Wiley weighed 153 xiund3, and Johnson 15S. The champior is a short, stocky, muscular chap, while the local man Is tall and of the long, muscular sort. By mutual agreement be tween the contestants before the match the strangle hold, the full nelson, was barred. From the outset "Wiley was on tho aggressive, getting Johnson to the mat in short order. Johnson was on the alert, and gave his opponent no open ings, using his weight and length to such good advantage that all "Wiley's man euvers came to naught. For 30 minutes the struggle lasted", and at no time was either man In danger of being thrown. By the terms of the match. If neither man had been thrown In 30 minutes' wrestling the referee should decide. Ref eree Smith accordingly gave the first de cision to "Wiley for aggressive work throughout, though no fall had been won. In the second bout Johnson tried all manner of means to get the emaller man to form a bridge but the New Yorker was too quick for his less experienced op ponent, and repetition of tne urst De gan. After about eight minutes of good work "Wiley secured a halfr.elson and gradually bore Johnson's shoulders to the mat. After the contest, the champion was profuse In bis praises of the sturdy and heady work put up by Johnson and con fidently stated that Multnomah has a coming champion In his class. De France, In the preliminary match, was on the aggressive almost throughout It was a fast go from the start. O'Con nor was watchful, however, and after 10 minutes of wrestling, while both boys were on their feet, O'Connor got De France's arm in Jeopardy, gave him a swinging cross-buttock over his shoulder and both De France's shoulders were on the mat, resulting In a first fall for O'Con nor. De France evened up matters In the second In 34 seconds as he secured a fall the first time O'Connor went to tho mat. De France in the third bout was again on the aggressive. For eight min utes he had O'Connor on the mat, but the latter by a quick reversal oi arrairs rolled Alex over and won the match. far. with tho exception of McMillan, re- colved any Injury which will hinder play ing Saturday. The punting will be attend ed to by Kerrigan and Downs. The latter In the Thanksgiving game distinguished himself In this department, and estab lished an enviable record as a sure all around player of the Joe Smith order. In weight and size it Is said that the two teams are very evenly matched. Both have had the advantage of experienced coaches, and while Salem has not playd as many games this season yet the play ers have had more practice try-outs than the local eleven. The visitors will be accompanied by a big band of enthusiastic rooters and friends, who will lend all the aid that lung power can furnish.

Frederick Iiarkln Keenan, a Portland lawyer, died yesterday forenoon at his home in the Labbe building, at 10 o'clock. after a long illness. He had been home from tho hospital for one month, and while there improved at Intervals, but relapses always followed, and there was little hope of his recovery. Mr. Keenan's first sickness dates from last April, while at the seaside. After partial recovery he went to Nome on the first trip of tho El der, and while there he was taken sick. In August last he returned home very feeble, and went to the hospital, where he underwent two severe surgical opera tions, which seemed to give relief. He was able to leave the hospital a month ago and go to his home. Mr. Keenan was born In Illinois 34 years ago, and came to Oregon in 1S71 with his parents, who first lived at 2111 waukie and afterward In East Portland. He studied law under Colonel S. R, Har rington, was admitted to practice, and had been an active attorney for the past 10 years.

TOMORROW'S FOOTBALL GAMI Contention Over Ifnmlnp; the Umpire and the .Referee. There Is looming up as a sort of curtain-raiser to the big game between Sa lem and Multnomah tomorrow a first class row over the personnel of the offi cials who are to supervise the game. About every local football sharp that can be named Is accused by one side or tht other of being In a dark and dangerous conspiracy to down somebody. Who the somebody Is or what object he has in do ling It Isn't explained, but he is crossed off just the jsarae. About the only thing that can be done is to select two ranic outsiders or go to the other extreme and name the officials from among the play ers and coaches, as was the case in the Thanksgiving game. i The make-up of the Salemltes is as yet a mystery- No roster has been given out, and no estimate as to a line-up can be. made. There are quite a number of ex collegians who have had college football experience living In the up-Valley towns within easy communication with Salem, and who might be pressed Into service.
