"I ought to go to Spokane for the
Northwest championships," said. Mr.
Epran, "but I am afraid my business
will not permit it. I must come back
here about the middle of June again to
finish up the work on the new munici
pal links. It will not be possible for
me to get away ' during: the week of
June 26.
"We were out this morning staking:
out the holes, and I am leaving one set
of blueprints for them to begin work
lng on. During the next fortnight :
will scheme out the hazards and before
they are through, with the preliminaries
this second set of blueprints will be
available.
"The distances staked off this morn
ing- were satisfactory, in fact, the first
nine holes wilL- be approximately 3150
yards in length. Waverley's first nine

Site Is Innpected.
In the afternoon C. H. Davis, Jr.,
piloted Mr. Egan and J. Martin "Watson,
Waverley professional, to the new Port
land club course at Raleigh Station,
The party was met by several members
of the board of directors and by the
preens committee and escorted over the
course of the new 18 holes.
Mr. Egan was greatly impressed by
the possibilities and made several valu
able suggestions. This course originally
was drafted roughly by Mr. Watson in
conjunction with Arthur Mills, of the
Portland Club. The cement work on
the new $10,000 clubhouse has been
completed and the carpenters are at
work on the upper structure.
In the party were H. I Keats, presi

they will be able to secure'rjseveral
high-class bouts, especially since they
are willing to pay both expenses for
traveling and training. In addition to
the boxers who will be signed for the
trip, several wrestlers will be offered
an opportunity to show their skill in
Argentina.
The representatives of the South
American republic report that the na
tives of the Argentine are greatly In
terested in all forms of sport, both
from the standpoint of spectators and
participants. Soccer football, tennis,
polo and baseball all have their fol
lowers, and these games are rapidly

Multnomah Club Wrestler Says If
He Met Ios Angeles Man and
Was Defeated, as Reported,
He Doesn't Know of It.
Tony AJax, a wrestler of Los Angeles,
has kicked up quite a fuss in Portland
by hurling challenges left and right at
both Walter Miller and Eddie O'Con
nell. who will meet at the Eleventh
Street Playhouse February 23.
AJax has quite a reputation on the
Coast, and says he has beaten O'Con
nell. taking two falls in 18 minutes.
AJax is a middleweight. O'Connell
weighs around 148 pounds when in the
best of shape. O'Connell's friends say
that be sometimes allows other grap
ple to go out in the "bush" and
wrestle, using his name to get a bout
and a little money. AJax is never miss
ing the opportunity to make it clear
that he beat Eddie, twice in 19 min--utes.
"Did this fellow beat you as he says
be did?" was asked the winged "M"
mentor yesterday. "AJax is a good
wrestler, and as long as he stays out
of Portland and says that he threw me
two times in short order, all right,"
came the reply. "I won't say whether
It was me or not that he says be beat.
I know one thing, however, and that is
that I haven't been out of Portland to
wrestle since taking up my wrestlinr
classes at the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club last Fall. If AJax wrestled
me I didn't know ft, concluded O Con-
nell.
O'Connell said last night that he
would meet AJax In a handicap, two-
falls-in-an-hour match if the Los An
geles grappler would come in at 168
pounds. He said that he would be
foolish wrestling a big fellow like
Tony even up. but if he wants the two-fall-an-hour
idea, all well and good.
Now comes Walter Miller, the undis
puted middleweight champion of the
world and a finished grappler. "Who is
this AJax?" asked Miller last night. "I
am reading ads in the paper where he
challenges me. I wouldn't care if I
knew him, but when some unknown
fellow hurls challenges at me it gets
my goat. If some club will guarantee
me something substantial for my end
I will wrestle AJax."

advised by Craig Campbell, president
of the Dominion Football Association,
that the governing body of Canada had
decided unanimously to suspend all of

This means that there will be no in

dual meet with the University of
Washington on Denny Field Saturday
afternoon.
A stop will be made in Portland for
the men to work out on Multnomah

letes are in good condition, and chances
favor victory.
Even Bill Hayward loosened up this
afternoon and actually smiled when he
admitted there was a chance of Ore
go winning."
If the Denny track is hard Sam
Stenstrom, Washington sprinter, should
win the short dashes easily, according
to Hayward. Otherwise he will be
closely pressed by "Comeback" Gor
cczky and Peacock, who showed class
in the recent Oregon-Oregon Agricul
tural College meet. Washington also
has Clyde in the middle distances and
a pole vaulter to reckon with. Dope
has it, however, that Oregon will win
by a score larger than the recent 71-60
victory over O. A. C. Twelve victories
in 13 years is llayward's record with
Washington.

NEW TORK, May 10. American
pugilists are in demand, both at home

poor boxer who. cannot find oppor
tunity to enter the ring for a purse or
sate percentage far in excess of the
amounts offered to the fighters of
generation ago. Both South America
and Australia are bidding for the best
of the American rlngmen- at present
and. in view of the sums that are being
held out as inducements, it is likely
that there will be quite an exodus of
boxers during the next few months.
Official representatives of the Argon

A number of employes in the Port

ing increases of salary recently made

develop the worth of the individual.
For the past six months the telegraph
ers nave Been allowed a bonus over
their regular salary for each message
handled above a set number per hour.
iho amount of bonus earned over
the regular salary usually indicated
the telegraphers work to be worth
more than the flat salary. The in

opportunity to earn bonus over and
above the increased salary. Twenty
telegraphers in the main office have
been benefited from 10 to 20 per cent.
Now they receive under the increases
the bonus they would have made with
the old salary regardless of whether
or not the volume of business is suffi
cient to allow them to make bonus or
not. In the business office and branch
offices there have been increases added
to the salaries of nine employes during
the past month and a half. Effective
this month messengers using bicycles

TACOMA, Wash. May 1". (Special.)
When W. Vaughn Tanner, Attorney-
General of the state, announced his
candidacy to succeed himselg, Scott Z.
Henderson, of Prosser, a deputy under
Tanner, found himself automatically
eliminated from the race he intended
making for the office. Early in the
week Henderson, who was prsent at
tending a hearing of the Public Service
Commission at North Yakima, gave out
statement that he expected Tanner
to be a candidate.
Since then the Congressional be has
been buzzing around the head of the
former Prosser newspaper man, and
Deputy Attorney-General Henderson
wants to go to Congress from the
Fourth District and believes that the
time is ripe to oust William La Fol-
lette from this Job. If he enters the
fight, it will be a triangular one, with
La Follette, Henderson and S. J. liar
rlson, of Benton County, clashing.
Informal caucuses held by friends of
Henderson at North Yakima showed
him that he would have considerable
strength in the Fourth District and
should make a good bid for the nomin
ation. While in a receptive mood.
Henderson would not formally commit
himself other than to say:
"I am seriously considering becoming
a candidate.

is a candidate for Speaker of the r.ext

OLD STUMP YIELDS RICHES
Farm Workers Find Jewelry and
Gold and Hope for More.
DOVER, DeU May 10 Visions of un
told 'riches have filled the minds of
several colored workmen on the farm
of Gen. A. R. Benson, who already have
unearthed what is supposed to be
cache of stolen goods. So far there
have been found four watches, two of
which are gold; three women's solid
gold rings, a solid gold watch fob, gold
breastpins, a $20 gold piece, two $10
gold pieces, two $5 gold pieces and one
$2.50 gold piece. All were found around
a large stump, which the workmen
few days ago set about to remove. All
of the Jewelry and money were in
good state of preservation, except one
of the watches, a nickel one, in which
the works had rusted.
The latest find, the $20 gold piece,
today has inspired the workmen to
greater diligence, and they are seeking
more of the treasure, which they be
lieve lies buried deeper than where
they already have dug. It is the belief
of General Benson and others who have
visited the place that the jewelry and
gold were stolen and buried several
years ago, when that part of the farm
was a wilderness, and that the thief
or thieves expected to return and claim
their loot, but lost trace of the tree.
Authorities, Being Warned, One Party
Is Captured by Police Other Re
turnsAll Lectured.
ELM A, Wash.. May 17. (Special.)
Plans of the El ma High School sopho
mores to lead the school officials and
law officers a merry rhase through
the eastern part of Grays Harbor
County were disarranged here today
when the authorities got wind of the
schemes.
Two autos filled with boy and girl
students got away early this morning,
pursued by the police, also in autos.
One car was captured at the outskirts
of the town, but the other got away.
General warning was sent out to
the police of surrounding towns.
Interest was at fever heat, but it sub
sided when the runaways returned vol
untarily about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, giving the nine cheers for the po
lice who took part in the chase.
The school off icials announced that,
owing to the good judgment shown
by the students in returning, their
escapade would be lightly dealt with.
However, thTs afternoon Superinten
dent Heaton delivered a lengthy lec
ture on law and order and warned the
students not to again attempt any such
frolic.
The original plan had been for the
two parties to remain away all day. -
The car which escaped met the po
lice car as they were leaving town.
The police driver was obliged to make
a quick turn, and the students took
advantage of the opportunity afforded
them, speeded up and could not be
overhauled.
