in Philadelphia but. of course. a longer
contest in any place that was reachable
for the Eastern sports would draw a
phenomenal house. The men already
have an offer OF twenty-round contest,
and it comes from a maneger in the
same State, In a place that could be
easily reached from New York and Phil
adelphia.
The ofer Of chance to meet in a
longer contest comes from Manager
Gallagher. of the Mauch Chunk Ath-
letic Club. who guarantees to build
suitable arena for pulling of the match
and offers TO give the boxers 20 per cent
of the gross receipts.
Several weeks ago OBrien said that
Gallagher's proposition suited him. and
it was up to Ryan to accept the terms
and clinch the match, and Jack is still
Of the same mind Mauch Chunk would
be a suitable place for the fight, if the
proper arena were built. as the own is
centrally located and the railrcad ia
cilities are excellent for drawing from
q great eXpanse OF country
Manager Gallagher has already held a
number of good bouts at his club. at
Mauch Chunk. but, q course. he has
never handled anything like what the
Ryan and O'Brien contest would be.
He got his ideas of the latter bout from
Joe Macias. the veteran boxing pro-
moter, VINO is managing Kid Carter.
and who is one Of the best-posted men
in the country on the handling of big
pugilistic affairs.
There is also a possibility of an offer
of match from one of the California
clubs, from the Metropolitan Athletic
Club. OF Detroit, or from the Kansas
City Club.

Pramlnm Corn From M0sier

Lee Evans was down from Mosier last
Thursday afternoon and left sample oil
Yellow Dent corn at the Glacier office.
The corn was grown by Uncle John Mil
'eF, and would do credit to the famous
corn fields of Illinois and Kansas. Mr..
Mr.. Miller has seven acres of this corn.
The corn yields well, and finds ready
sale for seed in the spring at % cents a
pound.
Mosier expects to take the prize on
corn at the Hood River fair next week.
Mr.. Evans Gays he will have a good
apple crop this year. He and j. p. Car
rol have the largest apple orchards in
the Mosier country, and Mr.. Evans esti-
mates their crops will amount to 5000
boxes each.
Mosier farmers this summer sent 8
carload shipments of Italian prunes to
Eastern markets. In addition TO the
car shipments, l4,000 crates went by
express The prices were generally
good, says Mr.. Evans, but the railroad
company was unable to supply the cars
az needed, and some of the fruit got to
ripe before it could be shipped.

AdIndged Not Insane.

James Foss Of Mount Hood, who was
taken to The Dalles last week by sheriff
Sexton. charged by some OF his neigh
bors that he was insane, was examined
before Judge Lake and Dalles physicians
and discharged. This is the third time
within year that Foss has been exam.
ined on the charge OF insanity. Speak
ing Of the case the Dalles Chronicle
says:
"After being examined as to his sanity
yesterday afternoon by DR.. l.. Il, Fergu-
son and Judge Lake, j. Il. Foss, who
who was brought up from Mount Hood
supposed to be insane, was discharged, mo
evidence of "loose wheels" being appar-
ent. The case was an amusing one and
seems to hinge on difference OF opinion
between Foss and former sweetheart
OF his. The woman declares that he is
insane because he insists on making her
marry him. Not having seen the al
legged object of his affection we are un-
able to Judge. On the other hand the
man declares she is "a pesterin' OF him"
to marry her and he "iust won't do it. I"
This being leap year there may be
method in his madness. At any rate
the people OF the Mount Hood neighbor-
hood saw reasons for considering him
and were instrumental in
having him examined. How his exam

their verdict when they reached home
