Doney Refuses to
Sign New Contract
Louis Doney, local leather pusher,
is a holdout and for a good reason.
He refuses to sign a contract to put
on the gloves in the forthcoming
Firemen's smoker until a certain
misstatement has been corrected.
The error was committed in last
week's issue of the Gazette Times
when it was stated that the Doney.
Partlow fight was called1 off due to
an injury to Partlow's arm.
The record shows that Partlow
was about "out" after a few rounds
of pummeling by Doney and the re
feree awarded the fight to Doney on
a technical knockout This paper
is glad to give credit where credit
is due and trusts that this explana
tion will clear the way for Doney
to put his name on a contract and
enter training for his next bout.

Local Men Defend
New Rate Schedule
G. J. Ryan, manager, and George
Peck, director of the Morrow Coun
ty Grain Growers, were in Portland
Friday and Saturday with delega
tions from Gilliam and Sherman
counties to appear before Ormond
R. Bean, public utilities commis
sioner, in behalf of the new freight
rates on wheat that will go into
ettect April o unless protests are
allowed.
The new rates were filed March
5 by the Union Pacific railroad and
will lower the cost of shipping grain
to Portland by 1.2 cents in Morrow
and Gilliam counties and 1.8 in
Sherman county. Protests have
been filed by the Shaver Forward
ing company, Barnard Truck Co.,
the Willamette Tariff bureau and
the Washington Property Owners
association of Seattle.
It was to argue against these
protests and present reasons why
the rate should , be allowed to be
come effective that the local men
made the trip.
They also went to Salem Satur
day to ask Governor Sprague to use
his influence as chief executive of
the state in this matter and argu
ments were sent to the Interstate
Commerce commission and to the
members of Oregon's congressional
delegation.
Both of the men expressed them
selves as assured that the rates will
be permitted to stand and thus, in
effect, raise the price of grain here
by the amount of the reduction.
