That L. A. Grant, wrestling instruc
tor for the Hood River athletic club is
In earnest In his desire for a wreatl
lng match with Parsons Motanic, the
big Umatilla Indian who recently
went on with Frank Gotch, is evi
dent from a second letter which has
just been received from Hood River.
This one is from Mr. Grant himself
and while he says there la nothing to
the Indian style of wrestling that
would be of interest to a crowd, he
is willing to wrestle Motanic anyway
the Indian desires, so long aa there
are "pin falls" to it.
Despite the fact that Motanic insists
that it is necessary for Grant to go
out and .get a reputation before he is
entitled to ask for a match with him,
the Hood River wrestler offers to

Grant says he also has a new pupil
who weighs 187 and who is willing to
take on the Indian for the best two
out of three falls.
In his effort to arrange a match
between his club and Pendleton the
Hood River man offers to furnish
two lightweight wrestlers to wrestle
with any men of their weight In this
city. One of them, he says, weighs
155 and the other 140.
Though wrestling is a game which
has been sadly neglected in Pendle

it for the accommodation of the men

arranged for the near future.

MAX SNOWED IN CABIN
IX NO IMMEDIATE DAXGER
So far as Deputy Sheriff Bert Wil
son has been able to ascertain, the
man Mentzer who was reported to
have been snow-bound In a little cab-
In on the headwaters of McKay creek,
Is In no immediate danger. The of
ficer is so well satisfied of this that
he has abandoned the contemplated
relief expedition from Kamela to the
cabin.
The deputy sheriff received his In
formation from George Adams and
the other ranchers on Upper McKay
creek. According to them, the man
was seen less than two weeks ago and
at that time he had plenty of provls.
Ions. They are therefore of the opin
ion that he could be In no danger of
starving.
A report became current In La
Grande yesterday and also In Portland
that Mentzer had been rescued by a
Pendleton man who had made a dar
ing trip over the snow on snowshoes,
If such was the case the performance
was certainly unknown to the local of
ficers or any one in this city.

Washington, Feb. 24. Mrs. Rosla

that which could be Identified by re
turn cards. Some citizens of Nash
ville objected and the postoffice In

THE SPIRIT QUESTION.
What Must Liquor Made From Sugar
Beets be Labeled.
Washington. If spirits made from
sugar cane is rum, and spirits made
from grain Is whisky, what Is spirits
made from sugar beets?
This la the question that the Inter
nal revenue collectors and the pure
food experts are working over.
President Taft, It is said, has de
clared that he has said all he Is go
ing to about whisky, and ordered his
subordinates to settle the question.
The executive's decision In the "what
Is whisky?" case laid down the rule
that grain spirits must be called
whisky and spirits from molasses
must be called rum.
But now comes the Western Dis
tilleries company, located at Agnews,
California, with the declaration that
they make "whisky" from the pulp
left over after the sugar is extracted
from beets. They want to be allowed
to call the booze "whisky" just ns
they have always been doing.

To label It "whisky made from
beets" would make It necessary to
conduct a long campaign of educa
tion to make the people believe that
It really can be made from beets,
they say, and this is not right.
Dr. Wiley almlts that the spirits
distilled from the beet pulp Is very
pure. But It is not whisky, he says.
It is "spirits diBtilled from beet pulp,
rectified and colored with brown su
gar." So why not tell the truth on
the label T
The question is still in the air. The
revenue officers have decided that
the California product Is not rum, at
any rate. Now they are examining
the seams In the president's definition
of whisky to see if it can be stretca
