For the first time since Johnny Cou lon arrived In Portland be has lost his smile. Some of the onlookers at Johnny's final hard training yesterday afternoon suggested that he was getting a trifle nervous. The fact of the matter Is that the Chicago marvel takes his go with Maseott tonight at the Rose City Athletic Club far more seriously than one would imagine. Five bouts besides the main attrac tion will be presented at the Roba City gymnasium, East First and Bast Mor rison streets, tonight. The 63-pound Ktoy brothers, of Chehalls, Wash., will provide the curtain-raiser. These twins box around the Northwest and It is eaid put up a rapid-fire engagement which is amusing. Johnny Coulon realizes that he must not lose a decision or even allow Billy Mascott to get a draw tonight If he Is to be considered as an ex-charapion who is really coming' back. Both mixers are in great shape and easily will make the required weight 11 pounds at 6 o'clock. Al Sommers was stopped by Jack Sims at the last Rose City Club show. The Portland middleweight is giving about 10 pounds of weight to Alike Butler's instructor, but hopes to regain the lost laurels. Joe Gorman, who mauled Earl Con nors all over the ring Saturday night at Raymond. Wash., says he expects to knock Veteran Jockey Bennett for a goal tonight. Tommy Clark and Jack Allen have met twice before and always have put up a great exhibition. Ernie Madden will give away weight to Farmer Burns. Jack Grant will referee. The first match will start at 8:30. " Following Is the card which will be presented by Promoter Frank N. Han lin at Astoria, Or., tomorrow afternoon: Ten rounds, 125 pounds, "Muff Bron eon, of Portland, vs. Joe Benjamin, of Spokane; six rounds, 130 pounds, Billy Nelson, of Spokane, vs. Roily Jones, of Portland; four rounds, 125 pounds,' Joe Nagel, of Oregon City, vs. Frankie War ren, of Portland.

GOLFERS RETURN HOI WILHELM AM) WATSOS ENTER SEATTLE TOl'HXAMEXT, i Pre-eminence of Portland Players Is fchown by Results of Northwest Con tests Where Honors Are Taken. 6POKANE. Wash., Jul? tSpecial.) Most of the Portland golfers who covered themselves with glory In the Northwest championships here last week have gone home. Two of them Rudolph Wilhelm, the new oDen cham pion, and Forest Watson, low medalist of the amajeur qualifying rounds, were eet upon by the Seattle bunch and will compete in the. Potlatch tournament, wnich Degins tomorrow. R. C. F. Ast' bury will also compete at Seattle. " Kussell bmlth, the new amateur champion, found it impossible to attend the Potlatch. He left in his automobile today for Portland with Guy Standlfer, oawara UBrien and Roscoe Fawcett They expect to make Pendleton tonight ana possioiy Portland tomorrow night. , although it is likely the party will make ihe return trip by easy stages. Everybody who attended the tourney went away singing the praises of the local committee, chiefly Clyde M. Graves, Frank McCollough, Thaddeus Lane, Alex Winston and Walter J. NIcholls. Portland's pre-eminence in golf In the Northwest was plainly in evidence all through the tourney. Russel Smith" won the amateur championship and Rudolph Wilhelm the open champion ship. Forest Watson was low medal . qualifier and second to Wilhelm in the open. Miss Agnes Ford, of Seattle, won the women's title, but all five Portland entries made the championship flight and Mrs. George H. Mayes was in the semi-finals. - RIVALS KILL 8777 GOPHERS Lodge of Elks in Montana Encourage Slaughter of Enemy to Farmers. BUTTE, Mont., June 27. Extermina tion of gophers has become so neces Fary to farmers in certain parts of Montana that parties have been organ ized to kill off as many as possible. For three consecutive years members of the Bozeman Lodge of Elks have "worked in two teams or companies un der different captains, the side showing the greater number of gophers' tails after the forays being proclaimed the winner and being guests at banquets with the losing side as hosts. The sides were evenly divided this year, about 50 men each, under the captaincy of Clark Wright and Albert Schlechten. It is estimated that about 25.000 rounds of ammunition were used. Tails to the number of 8777 were count ed at the end of the shooting, and .from this it Is estimated that about 30.000 of the rodents were killed, as probably rrom two-thirds to three-fourths of the total number shot crawled off and died in their holes. This is the "argest number exter minated in any of the annual' events In Gallatin County. One man brought in 672 tails as evidence of his prowess, but he admitted having drowned a great number of these out of their holes. This form of extermination was considered unfair to those who de pended solely upon firearms. Another man Drought in 406 tails, while a con slderable number brought in more than 100 each. Some used traps with telling eneci, out poisoning or the use of aeaaiy gas was prohibited as unsports manlike. iSGOTT REGARDED RUSSIA IS NEW FIELD CHAMBER BULLETIN ADVISES IN VESTMENT BY AMERICANS. Construction of Railways Contemplated After War and Trade Expected to Develop. NEW YORK, June 25. "Trade fol lows the flag" is a saying regarded as out of date by American business men. who are now advancing the new one, "Trade follows Investment," as the real motto of American commercial expan sion in foreign lands. This new motto is the underlying thought In the pam phlet "Commercial Russia," which has just been issued by the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce, with head. quarters in New Torn, as the first of a series showing the opportunity for American capital in the land of the Czar. "Russia desires and will welcome American capital," says the Chamber of Commerce, "in the great period of economic development which lies be fore her. The problems connected with the development In Russia are similar to the problems which have been successfully solved In this country during the last two generations. If American business interests make u of this opportunity, we believe that America should share greatly in the rewards connected with the Russian market and the development of Rus sian industries." The pamphlet itself covers these points in chapters: Economic and financial development of Russia within the last decade, the nation's Industrial -strength, the possibilities for foreign capital and tne possibilities Tor foreign trade. The whole attitude of the coun try and the underlying thought of the pamphlet are contained in a quotation from Prince Schachowsky, Secretary of TTTE MORXIXG OREGOyiAy, MONDAY, JTJLY 3, 1916. ji I " i I i I I I I if S.AmRGYROS H !

Russia .must become richer. To become richer we must develop our in dustries and our agricuulture." Russian economists calculate that af ter the war the nation will build not less than 10.000 kilometers say 6700 miles) of railways annually. The coun try now has but 39.706 miles. The fac tories of Russia are able to turn out only half enough rails and other sup plies ior sucn a programme. As a con sequence it is proposed to. develop the iron of the Urals and the coal beds of Western Siberia. Foreign capital will have an opportunity to participate in this development. Russia has 1.125,000,000 acres of tim ber land, or about twice as much as the United States and about 67 per cent more than Canada. All the rest of Europe, save the Scandinavian pen insula and Austria-Hungary, is insuf ficiently timbered. Russia's timber exports in 1913 were but $84,099,000 and will doubtless be vastly increased af ter the war to help wipe out the debit balance in foreign trade, which for 1915 amounted to 3385.000.000. Th a own ing here for American capital Is im mense, tne pamphlet indicates. In short. It is pointed out that after the war Russia must develop her rail roads, iron, coal and timber. French. v-nKiisn. jaeigian ana Kussian capital, nitnerto reiiea upon by the country, will be needed largely at home. Amer ica Is in a position to furnish the need- eo casn. in 1913 Germany exported to Russia goods worth $332,622,000, or 3246.300,000 more than she sent in 1870. Special treaty rights gave Germany an advan tage and Germany will doubtless try to retain tnis trade after the war. Even now uermany is selling goods in Rus sia through Scandinavian branches. A large part of this trade, the pamphlet holds, will come to America If this country invests money there and If an effort Is made to do business In the way which appeals to Russians. W. R. Tucker, Russian Vics-Consul in this city, says that the American Russian Chamber of Commerce has not exaggerated the possibilities and he added that there exists in Moscow a Russian-American Chamber which Is working toward the same end as the American body. The Moscow organi zation issues a monthly bulletin, which contains trade inquiries listed by num ber, and these numbers will be sup plied to any American exporters who care to consult the copies of the bul letin in Mr. Tucker's possession. STRAW IS GOOD FEED GOVERNMENT TELLS HOW TO "WIN TER BEEF . CATTLE. Farmers of L'nited States Can Save 100 Millions Yearly by Vslna; All Straw and Cornstalks. . WASHINGTON, D. C. June 25. A vast quantity of feed available for cattle either is wasted absolutely or put to some less profitable use, says a recent report which the Department of Agriculture has just publisher! as Part IV of a comprehensive survey of the entire meat situation in the United states, f ailure to utilize tne tuu value of this material has increased unneces sarily the cost of producing meat, has diminished the profits from cattle feed ing, and has discouraged many farm ers from engaging in an industry es sential to their permanent prosperity. According to the report already men tioned, the loss in grain straw and corn stover amounts to more than $100,000. 000 annually. Both of these products are disposed of most economically when fed to cattle in connection with some form of concentrated feed. Straw is especially valuable In carrying the breeding-herd through the Winter, In wintering stockers, and as a supple mentary roughage for fattening cat tle, etover, too. Is an excellent feed ow eclare your Independenceo5 for wintering cattle, especially ma ture breeding cows. Nevertheless, In many sections of the country where these products are abundant, little at tempt la made to take advantage of their value for these purposes. Of an annual straw crop of approxi mately 120,000,000 tons, it is estimated that only two-thirds is put to Its best use livestock production. Of the re mainder a little more than one-half is sold or turned under and the rest 15 per ent of the total crop is burned. Burning is practically an absolute waste and although plowing under does contribute something to soil fer tility, the benefit to'the land is lees than that which would be derived from the use of the straw to produce ma nure. "Of all systems of obtaining permanent soil fertility." says the re port, "none Is so practical or as easily available as that of feeding livestock." The average value of all kinds of straw Is placed at about $5 a ton. In many sections, of course, no such price can be realized for It, and as a matter of tact only about 8 per cent of the crop actually is sold- The figure men tioned, however, may be taken as rep resenting the value to the farmer of straw if he will use It properly in his farming operations as feed or bedding. In order to illustrate how this may be done the report gives three sample rations for wintering a breeding herd of beef cattle on straw combined with silage, shock corn, and cottonseed or linseed meal. Any one of these ra tions. It Is said, will -prove economical. They are as follows: Ration 1 Pounds. rw 10 . Stlaare 20 Cottonseed meal or. linseed meal Its Ration 3 Straw 20 Cottonseed caka or oil cake............ 2 Ration 8 Straw 10 Shock com 10 Cottonseed meal 1 . The pipe organ in Et. .Paul's Cathedral.
