Troy, Pastrano
Rivals Tonight
Chicago j(U.R) Wilile Troy, a
" knockout victor of 23 of his 33
opponents, risks his power
punch on television tonight
against Willie. 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. I
figure to put on a pound or two
before I get into the ring." . ,
ited to the land tests). The "back
course" testing will be over sev
eral acres. 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

the trial grounds.

'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.
Arena doors open at 7:30 p.m.

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.

Medford Residence
Building Increases
Residential building in Med
ford during the first quarter of
1955 was 72 per cent greater
than that during the same period
in 1954, according to figures com
piled by the Equitable Savings
& Loan association.
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

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.
