(U.FDJim Mullen, Cbicugo boxing Impressario a gum nas cntereu the lists against Tex Itlckjird and ('. C. Iyle for the ranking of the world's greatest pro moter. Mullen's latest feat consists of first promoting himself out of box ing promotion and Chen promotinj himself into a $-0,000 uer annum jo as "matchmaJter" for a syndicate of wealthy business men wtio intend to , sponsor boxing at tbe Chicago col iseum. The anointment of Mullen to the matchmaker prBt for the Coliseum Auhletic club provided a shock for the I commencement speakers who have loiiif advi.Hfd ambitious youth that sue cks and $-0,000 per annum jobs are attained through hard work and suc- -eKful completion of the tasks set tKt ore them. Iiespite n list of promotional fail ures that makes the late kaiser's war record look like a commete rikvpss, Mullen has succeeded in maintaining his standing as teachers net with the Illinois Imxing com m stolon, while men popularly elafiied to be more capable were left "out In the cold This fact is believed responsible for Mullen's appointment to his new job if a $'JO,000 per annum berth can be referred to in such an unimpressive mnnner nit hough with a new com mission expected to take effire after the inauguration of (iovei nor-Klect Kmrncrson it Is improbable thnt Mul len will maintain his "pull" with the boxing- rulers. Muilin'H career is colorful. Accord ing to bis own story he made his first dollar in Chicago by selling tiie city hall to a "rube.1 Since breaking Into tbe boxing game Mullen "sold the public on shows which mnde his first financial (leal look easy, but in recent years "Chicago's Tex Itickard" as Mullen styles himself haa bad little aiiccem. After failing as a pro moter nt Aurora. Mullens conducted a gymnasium in Chicago until boxing was legalized. Since that time he has practically controlled the ring game here. I urinrr the pnt year the boxing gnme slumped and Mullen found him self unahle to attract crowds for his shows. Fven such a "nntural" as the Mickey Walker-Ace Hudkin bout was a financial failure, hut .Mullen kept right on until he "promoted" himself out of the game. After his last show Mullen was unable to pay the state tnx which the boxing commission levies on promoters. A few dn.vs later creditors foreclosed a mortgage on his gymnasium and Jim was definitely counted "out" of Chicago boxing.

Mr. Hurd said he thought the no- ait ion of Lnne county in the eyes of the highway commissioners would ho strengthened if this county were to send sizeable delegations to the meetings In Portland to back up the county commissioners, as many other counties are doing. "We'll do I hat gladly." said Mr. Rhelton. "but we were under the dis tinct impression that if we did our share in voting down the Dunne bills and voted up tbe levies for our snare or tlie ISiuslaw project, the road would go ahead without further question this summer." Melvin Hansen, real estate man, suggested that Lane county invite the highway commissioners to a meeting in Fugene at which the de termination of the county to have the Stuslaw project, as well as the MrKenx e and the Oak ridge roads, could be demonstrated. Mr. Hurd said that he believed It would be neceswary for Lane county to get Into action before the next meeting of the highway commission, because delay until the meeting might result in a trip to Portland only to find most of the state high way program set and the moneys for the year alt spent, Mr. Hurd read figures to show that while Tane countr has con tributed in license fees over $3,000. OiK) since 11.20 sine 11H0 it has received in work hy the county and federnl governments only about the same amounts. The committed which wilt com municate with the highway commis sion will report as soon as If gets a reply and It will recommend either a meeting with the commission in Eugene or the sending of delega tions to Portland, or, If necessary, both. The possibilities which land set tlement work offers to the state of Oreiron were graphically represented hy the forty persons present st the meeting by Arthur Foster, field rep resentative of the Oregon Htate Chamber of Commerce, who has Just returned from a trip In the Middle West. Lane county, he pointed wit, hss received only a small nort:on of the new settlers coming to Oregon mninly because Lane county haa not taken as active an Interest In the eolonisnt ion work as some other parts of the state. "Hut If yon don't think the bring ing in of these new people Is im portant." said he. "consider the fart that at n dinner at Nil vert on the other night twenty new families were present representing flnfl.000 of new money invested in Oregon." He cited examples of the tre mendous wealth crested bT the ds'rylng Industrr In Wins!n and argurd that Oregon offers much greater opportunities for this In dustry than Wisconsin, If only it had tlie people to develop the business. He rited examples of smaP towns In Wlsrons n with ontr 3.000 or 4000 population with $OO0 to $10,000 e day cssh turnover for milk produced In an eight of ten mile rndiuv, "Talk of payrolls and men going hv the bouse with a d nner pail on their war to work Is allrlght." sid Mr. Foster.
