In their last match Jones was considered to have slipped a fast one over Reed, the Albany wrestling commission and the fans gathered for the meet, by refusing to weigh' jfn af ter Reed had topped the scalus at 145 pounds ringside. ( Because of his action the Al bany wrestling commission did not ' allow the match to proceed until Jones had agreed to meet Reed at 148 pounds ringside two weeks later; They insisted that Jones place his $500 purse as a guarantee. Jones ' succeeded in getting two falls. though Reed took the first one with a headlock that cost Jones a dentist's bill. Reed has much at stake in the next match. He muft win or 'else lose an opportunity to wrestle for the world title, lie must elimin ate Jones from the-ranks or else drop by the wayside. I Reed must win or else tarn to selling auto mobiles, because he will be about through wrestling in the north west. ' - Jones is a foxy- wrestler, grown wise in defending his title. Nev ertheless, Jones is one of the fore most matmen of the Vnited States and every match won from Reed ttt Albany had been clean and well fought. Ronghhou.e tnctics were not, used, hut scientific wrestling and sheer generalship carried him through. For some reason he is hot popular with the Albany fans, and tmy last coup over Reed "did, not benefit his popularity.

This statue was located in a Port land park, through the generosity of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. Since the controversy has prob ably reached its height, it might interest the public to know a little more about this artist, so famous for his works in bronze; to know some of the reasons why his judg ment is as good as that of ex-Governor West and other locar critics. Mr. Proctor is a Canadian by birth, and an artist by training and education. He'' is from the national academy of design and art, and the ' students' league of New York. He speat five years in Paris in the, study of technique under Pucch and Jnjalbert, and i3 a finished artist with many inter nationally recognized works to his credit. Every exposition since the World Columbian exposition in Chicago' has presented him with medals of the highest hon ors, and he has been elected a life member of the national acad emy of design. Among the interesting experi ences of his life were the many years that he spent as a huntsman in the Rocky mountains, under practically, the same conditions surrounding the experiences, of Theodore Roosevelt. This experi ence would- make him competent, to- Judge and reproduce in statu-i ary' both horses and men. Roosevelt spent much of hisj young manhood in the cattle ranching business, on the upperj waters or the Lutie Missouri river, and this experience enabled him to write those inspiring books "The Winning of the West" and the "Hunting Trips of a Ranch man." Proctor obtained his intimate knowledge pf horses, wild animals and Indians in the same way, and. in approximately the same mou'n-i tain district. It is not surprising then that his figures of Indians, wild animals and horses have re4 ceived such wide and favorable recognition. "It is probably be use o f the similarity of their experiences in these mountain dis- t rirts. and because of Mr. Proc tor's ability to reproduce wild animaj life, that Theodore Roosc velt. while president of the Unit ed States, invited Proctor to the White House, and asked him to undertake the work of substitut ing buffalo heads for the old lion heads in the state dining room. There is no other living artist so well equipped by experience and temperament to judge the type of horse which the -vigorous Roosevelt would select as his mount either for peace or for war. Nosculptor or painter, even with the vivid experience of Proc tor, would attempt the modeling of a cavalry horse without a liv ing model of that type before him. There is little doubt that Alex ander Phimister Proctor is a great artist and sculptor, and If in this" case he used a model that was slightly unusual in its proportions, or an animal that when checked threw one hind foot further for ward than would appear natural to the aerage horseman, ho did so with a full knowledge of his subject, and with yearsxof train ing and experience as a back ground. - . 1 Alexander Phimister Proctor needs no defense. His reputation i too well established; but as a matter of simple justice his Ore gon friends - should know these facts. TO IIOXOR OHKGOXIAX 1 SEATTLE, Feb. 6. (By Asso ciated Press.)
