Men marvelled at his size, bible students conjured up visions of their Goliath and little children saw in him a giant, who might have walked out of the pages of their fairy story. To the speculative eye, the visitor was indeed a giant ,a colossal fighting ma chine, a physical perfection. Jake Dexter, member of the fight ing Dexter family of Heppner, had heard the call for fighters and strengthened with the determination to batter his way to the top, he sign ed a 10 year contract with J. O'Neill, veteral wrestler and trainer, for some time a resident of this city. O'Neill, who had heard of Dexter, has watched him carefully for sev eral years. Realizing that a big man does not necessarily make a big figh ter, O'Neill picked his man with cau tion and having picked him will spare neither time nor expense to line hlra up with the best heavyweights of the day. Big Jake is 24 years of age, weighs 272 solid pounds, is agile, good natured and married. His handi hang from his powerful arms like two choice Swift's Premium Hams and contain an effective sleep producing potion. He has never used tobacco, alcohol tea or coffee. In the past year he has grown one-fourth of an inch, which shows that he is still a "grow ing boy." His father weighed 265 pounds, while his mother tips thi beam at 250 pounds. A younger brother is larger than Jake, althou he does not aspire for a career ii the ring. He comes from a family of rough and ready fighters, whose fame is scattered throughout the Heppner country. And Heppner has long been recognized as a city of fighting men. Jake is jovial and has a deep, booming voice that rumbles of con vival fellowship. He is ambitious to get Into the ring with the best fight ing talent in the country and will train hard toward that end. He likes to fight and thinks it is a heritage handed down by his scrapping an cestors. "The first thing I wanted to do, as I remember," Jake said, "was to fight. I have my greatest difficulty finding somo one to spar with me. They are all afraid of my size." A glance at Jake's massive struc ture and one can quickly understand why he has difficulty getting any one to oppose him. O'Neill, who has wrestled witl. many of the champion wrestlers and who has trained a score of succi ful mat and mit men, has been in communication with Tex Rickard, na tionally known fight promoter for some time regarding Dexter. O'Neill and Rickard aro old friends and the promoter is anxious to assist Jack 1 putting his protege over. In a re cent letlei' received by O'Neill, Rick ard stated that all New York was clamoring for new white hopes and that the sporting world would pay big money to see "big boys" of prom ise in action. He asked O'Neill to hurry his training work with Dexter and to sign him up with every heavy weight in sight, so that it could be determined how far the Heppner man could go. O'Neill is patient and cau tious. He will have his man well groomed for action before he allows him to step into the arena. It is interesting to note that Dex ler is in many ways a larger man than Jess Willard. Willard is taller and has a slightly longer reach, but Dexter possesses a greater chest measurement and expansion. An ac curate chart, showing- the measure meats of the two men, is given here Willard Dexier Age -39 24 Neck--17'ii 19 niceps it i; Chest - 4 5 4 tit" Expanded - 49 l-j 51 Thigh 2 5 26 Calf 17 li- An'klo -11 It1-.

It is not absurd then to imagine Jak Dexter as a local product battling hi; way to the top ranks In the heavy weight class. Local fight fans wil watch Dig Jake with interest. Tin Dalles Optimist.

Young Phil early learned to fence for himself. "I started out as a bank clerk," he said. "I just let things sort of go on until I got married. Then I began to figure out how to Improve my condition, which had never wcr ried me to that time. So I started a bank in eastern Oregon, but that was not a success. "When I went into the hotel busl- -ness I was "broke. I bought the Palace hotel in Heppner, Or., on credit and I'll never forget the stack of notes I had to redeem, for it later became an obsession to me to have every one of those notes back in my possession. After three weeks in the hotel business I realized that I had paid too much for the place and I told my wife so and put it up to her, explaining that we could stay there and work it out and make nothing or leave and not lose anything. "Here came my turning point. My wife and I agreed it would be to) con cede failure If I left, so as she waa game we decided to worlc It out. What success I have had came right there. Unconsciously I built myself up in that community and while I was creating a reputation for credit, reliability and dependability, 1 was, at the same time, wearing the rough edges off my character. Somehow I managed to gain the respect of the community and this period marked my transitions, for there I learned self-control. "When I sold out in Heppner and came to Portland I found, to my sur prise, that some of my reputation had come before me. I had a defin ite plan when I came here to devota myself to my own business with my whole heart and I worked on V theory that a real friend is worth more than rihes. I am not rich and don't expect to be, but I'm happy, found to my surprise when I reached Portland that I had a credit rating worth something, for I had ur sciously acquired wealth of that sort that I had not set down on my per sonal balance sheet. "Now, I don't consider myself half through, but the leUdon I learned in Heppner of paying In full and stick ing it out is the real secret of a'" have. Some of the things of which I am proudest are my father's business reputation before me and the old em ployes we have in our place here, men who have served 10, 15, 18 years or more with the firm." MARRIAGE LICENSES Marriage licenses were issued at the county clerk's office last Thurs day as follows; John R. Knierien, 42, and Elsie Dean, 24, both of lone.
