Favorable Indications for the suc
cess of tho campaign which has been
waged to secure a new federal build

given this morning, when J. E. Eastes
received letters from Senators Cham
bcrlaln and Lane, assuring him that

FIGHT FANS AWAIT
GOOD BOUT TONIGHT
Gcorgo Has Best of the Dope on
Stamina, With Trambitas Given
Edge for Ring Science.
One of the best matches ever wtt
nissed by local fans will be pulled
off at S: 45 this evening at the Hip
podrome, when Billy George, of
Idaho, well known to Bend devotees
of the squared circle, will swap
punches with Valley Trambitas, of
Portland. The Willamette Valley
representative arrived yesterday,
spent the day strolling about the
city, and then announced that he was
in fit condition for the Idaho bear
cat. "Tram" wore a purple circle
around his eye, the reminder of a
recent battle, but claimed that the
only bad part about it was its looks.
George is trained down to a fine
point, and confidently expects to take
the measure of his Portland oppon
ent. Fans hare it doped out that George
has the advantage of stamina, with
Trambitas a shade superior in science
and ring generalship. George's wal
lop 1 said to be matched by sleep
productnt power of his opponent, and
it it comes to an old fashioned give-and-take
combat, the local favorite
should have the better of It on ac
count of his ability to absorb pun
ishment. If it comes to a decision
on points, "Tram" should have the
better chance for the referee's pref
erence. Fast preliminaries are scheduled.
