ATTRACTIVE WRESTLING
CARD LINED UP FOR
TONIGHT
Promoter Bert Tisdale
lined up an attractive card for the
Legion hall tonight. In the main
event Pasquille Castello will mix
with “Murderous” Mike London,
the Lodi, Cal., hoodlum. There
is likely to be plenty of fire
works, and the fans may look for
almost anything. Castello is the
clean type of wrestler, and Lon
don the opposite.
In the next bout George Ben
nett of Oaklahoma, who appeared
on the last card here and made a
good impression, will wrestle Jack
Claybourne, the only colored
wrestler on the Pacific coast.
Both are clean scientific wrest
lers.
To provide variety the pre
liminary will consist of a four
round boxing match between two
local boys.

BANK BY MAIL—
TRAVEL INTO STATE
MAKES GREAT GAIN
XXX
Results of the “Sell Oregon”
campaign launched several months
ago are seen in the heavy influx
of motor tourists this year, re
ports Earl Snell, secretary of
state, At least 60,000 more vis-
itors will visit Oregon in 1936
than entered the state in 1935,
is his conclusion after studying
the nonresident registration rec
ords of the first five months.
The “Sell Oregon” movement
has been the result of the com
bined efforts of the Oregon State
Motor association, the press of
the state, the travel and infor
mation bureau of the state high
way department, and the secre
tary of state. That it has been
effective is demonstrated by the
20 per cent increase in out-of-
state cars registered during the
first fivg months of 1936. Dur
ing this time 23,725 motor ve
hicles were listed, while the same
period in 1935 brought a total
registration of 19,614.
Based on the present percent
age in increase, it is anticipated
that more than 120,000 cars from
other states will enter Oregon
this year. Estimating three pas
sengers on an average for each
motor vehicle, some 360,000 tour
ists will visit the state.
During May the increase in
registrations reached 29 per cent,
with 8,834 cars checked in at
the bureaus throughout the state.
