to a sido bet of 310,000. Concern
ing tho match, Ketchell said:
"I won't fight Papke for a win

ed him twlco decisively, whllo the
public knows his victory over mo In
Los Angeles wob a mere fluke. If I
fight him again it must be made
worth while, for the public is not
going to pay Just to see him In ac

than tho middleweight limit, for I'm
always ready to defend my title. I'll
weigh 158 pounds. If Papke actually
I wants to meet me, hero's his chance.
' I'll await his answer."

PORTLAND, Dec. 4. Whllo no
official announcement has been made,
it is practically settled that Senator
Bourne will recommend the appoint
ment of Charles B. Merrick of this
city as register of tho Portland land
office. IMs not known who will get
tho Job of receiver of tho same office'
but it is strongly suspected that thU
position will bo offered to J. Frank
Slnnott, also of this city. These Jobs
are each worth $3000 a year under
presont conditions, but, with a cessa
tion of public land activities In this
district, It Is not expected that theso
Jobs will hereafter pay moro than
S100 a month.
Mr. Merrick Is secretary of tho Re
tail Grocers' association and always
has been a strong Dourno partisan.
Mr. Slnnott is a young lawyer of this
city, whose actlvo association with
Dourno dates soveral years back. .
These are not tbo only Jobs, how
ever, with which Bourne has to re
ward tho faithful. Between now and
early next month tho senior senator
also has the appointment of a regis
ter and receiver of tho Roseburg land
offico, a United States marshal and
a collector of Internal revenue To
date, Bourno has failed to givo tho
slightest Intimation of who ho had
In mind for theso Jobs. However, it
is reported that E. Hofor of Salem
will got tho berth now held by Col
onel D. M. Dunne, as collector of
Internal rovenuo at $4500 per an
num. Just who will get tho Job of
United States marshal, which pays a
similar salary, Ib moro of a conun
drum, owing to Bourno's secrotlvo
n'ess. Locally, thero 1b a. strong sus
picion that this plum will go to
Thomas McCusker, anothor loyal
Bournelto.
Both Merrick and McCuskor assort
that they aro not looking for any
thing at tho hands of tho senior sen
ator, but the signs of iho times aro
taken to Indicato that they will at
least bo givon an opportunity to turn
down a fedoral berth which carries
a salary of from $3000 to $4500 por
annum. As for Hofor, tho nssuranco
of a salary of $4500 annually, It Is
believed, would bo sufficient to In
duco him temporarily to ceaso writ
ing editorials and givo a fow years
of his time to serving tho people.

Remarkable Case of Healing
Miss Lena Mophail is
healed of rheumatism; for
one year this young lady
has heen unab'lo to he.lp
herself. Tn one treatmont
she was entirely healed.
She will gladly testify to
same. Elizabeth, tho 11-year-old
daughter of Mr.
and iMrs. Harry Rvanson,
through diphtheria, be
eame blind. Mr. Olnoy,
out of his love for children,
passed his han dovor her
eves. 'Willi n HinniMHO(l
ery, the child said: "Why, mama, I can see." Healers
as well as orators are born, not made by books. Mr.
Olnoy has a wonderful gift of healing.
The cures effected by the bcalor aro of such a mar
velous nature as to be considered beyond boliof except
by those healed, and in an interview said that thoro are
evident signs that the churches ol America are being
brought decidedly face to face with tho question of
divine healing. Mr. Olnoy predicts that a return, lo
Christianity's primitivo principles and praolicos of the
art of healing is to bo tho noxt great stop in tho prog
ress of Christianity. Tho cures effected by Bishop
"Fallows of Chicago and by tho Emmanuol movoment at
Boston that arc carried on by tho Episcopal church
have aroused intense public interest, and Edward Ol
noy with his marvelous healing power is startling the
scientific world with his cures.
Tho healor will bo hero ono week moro and thoso
wishing treatment must como early in tho wook.' You
can all bo hoalod. Don't wait, but como now, for ho
must go back to Portland. Offico in tho Palms, corner
