Pastrano, a fancy boxer and the slugger had no doubt of the outcome. "I've fought good boxers be 'fore," Troy said. "Fellows like Bandy Sandy. They didn't, beat me, and I don't think this guy will either:" ' ' .-7, Pastrano, an 8-5 favorite to win the . battle, in his last start convincingly outpointed Al An drews in the Chicago stadium ring, the site of the fight tonight. "I've got ' to gain, weight - for this one," Troy said. "I've been training right along, and I weighed 160 when I got here.

Dogs will be run in twos and the judges will be on horseback. Judging will be on a dog's ability to hunt its a!ity to find and look in likely spots for birds. Dogs are to work under control of their handlers and, if there are few wild birds, much will depend on how the entry "goes over" the area and how it is handled. Exact entry total will not be known until after 8 p.m. tonight when entries close and when drawings for starting times are conducted at Medford hotel. Jerry Brady, Eugene, is chair man for the trial. Delmar Perry, Grants Pass, will furnish" the horses. Roxy Ann Grange will operate the food concession at the trial grounds. At 8 p.m., dinner is scheduled Saturday at Medford hotel.

RVERGREEV LEAGUE Stlndinn- Medford Barbers 'SRO' Crowd Expected At Girls' Tag Match Advance ticket sales Indicate a standing-room-only crowd at Merrick's arena tomorrow night when Mack Lillard presents the first girls' tag team match ever held in Medford. It pits Jean Elbon, who made a big hit with fans here two weeks ago, and Shirley Winters, another favorite, against Gerry Hunter, detested for her illegal tactics, and Bonnie Bartlett, a rough performer making her first start here. In a tag match, only one per son from a team may be in the ring at a time. In order to ob tain relief from the partner, who is outside the ring, contact must be made by the person on the outside reaching over the top rope while keeping the feet on the ring apron. Contact may be made by the hands only. A team will be liable for disqualifica tion if both partners are in the ring at the same time. Yoggi Hussane, top meanie of the circuit, may find himself in a lot of trouble if he tries any of his rough stuff on Champ Thomas when they meet in the middle match. Thomas relies on skill and speed to win but can be awfully rough " when roiled. Larry Presnell, Portland cop, and Buck Davidson, Klamath Falls, square off in the Opener, in what should.be a fine exhibi tion of wrestling.

Arguments Heard On Snake River Power Proposals La Grande (U.R) About 50 persons attended a hearing of the Oregon Hydroelectric Com mission here yesterday at which arguments were presented, pro and con, on application of Pa cific Northwst Power Company for preliminary permits to de velop two dams on the Snake river. The projects would be at the Mountain Sheep and Pleasant Valley sites and would cost a total of $139,000,000. The firm holds a preliminary permit from the Federal Power Commission to make studies. . ' Application Opposed Fish interests and ' public power interests opposed the. ap plication. John Hodges of the Oregon Fish Commission and C. J. Campbell of the Oregon Game Commission said annual value of fish runs which would be jeo pardized by construction of the dams would be $1,000,000 with a potential value of $4,000,000. Public power spokesmen said the dams would destroy the com prehensive plan of development of the area's resources. Bob Chrisman, Enterprise lawyer representing ranchers along the river, said the highway and farmland would be destroyed by the dams. Help To Power Problem Proponents said the proposed development would help solve the Northwest's serious power problem and also would help expand the area's economy. Paul R. McKee, vice-president of the firm and president of Pa cific Power & Light Company, said power fyom the dams would be interconnected with that of the Northwest power pool. The power firm is composed of ' Pacific Power and Light; Portland General Electric; Washington Water Power Com pany and Montana Power Company.

Total permit values in Med ford during January, February and March ot 1955 were $493, 200, compared to $286,500 dur ing the same months last year. The increase for the state as a whole averaged 4 per cent, and varied from a high of 333 per cent at Pendleton to a minus 75 per cent at Saker. ' A small increase was also noted in total permit valuation. It amounted to 3 per cent, $768, 740 last quarter compared to $743,068 the year before. Total permit valuation in Oregon rose 17 per cent for the same periods. Throughout the Pacific north west, there was a 14 per cent in crease in total permit valuation between the two quarters. In 1954, 35,500 Americans were killed in traffic accidents. 11,929 Forest Acres Reseeded to Grass During Past Year Portland An area of 11,929 acres of national forest land in the Pacific Northwest region was successfully reseeded to grass in 1954, according to Re gional Forester J. Herbert Stone. Included in the reseeding operation were 9,461 acres of logged-over land, 1,859 acres of depleted range, and 609 acres of burn, 600 acres of which was burned last fall on the FremonJ National forest during hunting season and was reseeded in co operation with the Oregon State Game commission. About 300, 000 acres remain in need of re seeding, i Since the start of the reseed ing in 1945, the region has seed ed 69,116 acres to grass. An ad ditional 27,000 acres on the Ma dras land use project was re seeded by the Soil Conservation Service, land which is now administered by the Forest Serv ice. This brings the total amount of reseeding to date to 96,116 acres. On logged-over land seeding was done on abandoned logging roads, skidways and landings principally to prevent soil ero sion. It also replaces forage damaged by the logging opera tion and prevents the encroach ment of noxious plants. Of the 300,000 acres still in need of re seeding approximately 50 per cent are scab rock ridges which will take special treatment to bring back vegetation. This would include fertilizing with nitrogen and . a layer of wood chips to protect the seeds during the dry summer season. Experiments to date show this type of reseeding to be very ex pensive with costs as high as $200 per acre prohibitive under present methods. An at tempt will be made on an experi mental basis to coordinate such reseeding with current logging operation to see if the logging debris can be chipped for use on these scab rock areas and thus reduce the costs sufficiently to carry out such reseeding over large areas. Rancher Found Guilty In Death of Artist The Dalles (U.R) Joseph Fer guson, Mosier rancher, was found guilty of involuntary man slaughter yesterday afternoon by a Circuit Court jury in con nection with the shooting death last December of Charles Eaton, 29-year-old Portland artist. The jury received the case at 11:30 a.m. and returned the ver dict at 2:30 p.m. The jury was polled and the count was 10 to 2 for conviction. Eaton was killed accidentally while he and Ferguson were hunting in the woods near here last December. Circuit Judge Malcom Wilkin son set 10 a.m. Monday for sen tencing. Friday.

Bomb Threat Blamed on Crank Vancouver, Wash. -(U.R) Vancouver high school principal Eldon Boyd today said a- bomb threat which forced evacuation of 1800 students yesterday after noon was probably the work of a crank. Boyd said "the odds are a mil lion to one it was only a crank's trick,", but he said he didn't want to take any chances and ordered the school emptied. "We needed an evacuation practice anyway," he said. . The threat was received by switchboard operator LaDonna Fields, who said an anonymous phone call shortly before 1:10 p.m. ordered her to have $45 at a nearby park within 45 minutes. The alternative was a time bomb set to go off in the school. Within minutes the school was empty. Clark county officers and city police combed the building without finding any explosives. It was the second time that a Washington high school had been so threatened since last Friday's bombing at Meier and Frank de partment store in Portland. Tuesday, the Lake Stevens high school was closed after an anon ymous telephone call threatehed a bombing. In 1954, nearly two million casualties were recorded for mo tor vehicle accidents.

(U.R) Police today wondered how. to enforce an ordered crackdown on hot rod motorboat enthusiasts racing along the St Joseph river. . ,;.
