Count of Deer Tracks at State Line Finished Portland The state line track count on the interstate deer herd was completed on May 18 and shows that more than 12,800 deer crossed the Oregon-California line to take up summer residence in the Fremont national forest of Oregon. According to Frank Grogan, district game agent at Lake view, the tally is greater than either the 1956 or 1957 count when 12,244 and 11,695 re spectively were recorded mov ing into the state. The count was expected to be lower this year since game biologists observed good num bers of the interstate deer herd wintering in Oregon. A sizeable band was observed all through the mild, open winter in the Round lake area east of Kilgore reservoir and another band just to the north of the state line road. The state line tally gives only a minimum figure of the total number of deer crossing into Oregon from their win tering area in the Modoc country of California. Snow fall will sometimes cover tracks before they can be counted, and rains often wash them away. Sometimes the road becomes impassable and several days may be missed. For these reasons, the track count indicates that at least that many deer moved across the state line in the counting period. Ontario's 30 gold producing mines yield gold and silver in quantities amounting to about 85 million a year.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon, ThuriJay, June 5. 1't 1 Ring Tiff Awaited By Akins, Martinez St. Louis (UPI) Virgil Akins, perhaps the cockiest challenger in ring history, and Vince Martinez, an extremely shy performer, relaxed today on the eve of their fistic and psychological fight for the vacant world welterweight crown. Akins of St. Louis was a solid 9-5 favorita to win their 15-round, nationally televised fight at the Arena Friday night because his supporters believed Virgil's extreme self confidence was justified by his boxer-puncher ability. Never before any title fight not even w"hen Tony Ga- lento was challenging Joe Louis did anyone proclaim Jiis own superiority as 30-year-old Akins did at the end of training Wednesday. Startling Forecast Deadly serious, Virgil pre dicted he would knock out handsome Martinez within three rounds.

The winner meets Grant of Port land at Multnomah stadium in Portland Saturday night for the A-l crown. off the forecast he had made only 24 hours previously a kayo within eight heats. Why should Akins make such an astonishing prediction against an opponent who never was stopped in 65 fights? "Becuse he makes one very big mistake in the ring," the St. Louis mauler explain ed. "I can't tell you about that mistake before the fight." When informed of Akins' boast, 29-year-old Martinez of Paterson, N.J., smiled indulg ently and said, "Well it's a free country. I guess there's nothing to prevent a man whistling on his way past a graveyard."
