MITCHELL WILL OPEN
BUSINESS IN ST. LOUIS

Charley Mitchell, the veteran English
boxer. who once fought John L. Sullivan
the greatest battle of the latter's career.
when the two struggled to thrty-nine-
round draw at Chantilly, France, with the
rain pouring down upon them, will soon
be in st. Louis, says an exchange.
Mitchell intends to remain in ST Louis
for the worlds fair and will probably es-
tablish himself in some sort of business In
a signed article lately he has pointed out
the difference between the modern fights
and those of the bare-knuckle days On
this point he says:
1.-THE boxing game has undergone great
change since old John L. Sullivan and nv
self fought in 1883. There are few, if any
of the old methods in use in the fistic game
old-time fights with those of the present
day to get an idea, of the change that has
taken place
~ have fought battles on the turf with
bare knuckles when we We're Obliged to
use heavy spikes in our boots to get a good
footing. There was little use for rosin in
those days.
Nowadays you have your fine clubhouses
where a spectator can witness the mill in
evening dress, if he chooses. You have fine
rings with padded ropes and rosned floors
The days of the spilze-shod fighters milling
with bare knuckles have passed.
when Sullivan and l fought IL was a
question as TO how hard a fighter could
make his muscles, so as to be able to
stand lots of punishment. There was none
of the recently invented training apparatus
to assist one in getting into condition
heavy sand bags, which was very hard
work in itself. -

Now that the kid" has at last acquired

George Considine has deposited with Al

thinks Mccoy can't make IL and be strong
he is not well informed. O'Brien Is a par
ticularly clever boxer, but he cannot pun

weight and do himself justice in the ring.

HACKENSCHMIDT WILL
NOT WRESTLE JENKINS

NEW YORK, April s.-Tom Jenkins is
not likely TO have chance to meet George
Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion" on the
wrestling mat, unless the American is will
ing 10 wait until September for a match.
Failing by challenge to get on a match
with Hackenschmidt, the manager Of
Jenkins tried the press agent route Of
giving out an interview in a London sport
ing paper to the effect that the two men
would probably meet in a match of mixed
STYLES within three weeks" This brought
ont a sharp retort from Hackenschmidt's
manager. for on the other side they take
serious view of all printed matter
Hackenschmidt says he has never con-
templated mixed match; that he claims
the championship in no other style than
Graeco- Roman and will wrestle only in
that style, and finally as he has been
wrestling since September last without a
rest and is booked UP to next September.

succeed Barney Oldfield. professional. of
Toledo o., the driver of the WintOn
Bullets Nos. and 3. The change was
announced yesterday and marks the re-
tirement of Winton interests from pro-
fessional motor racing.
Oldfeld and Mr.. Winton held consulta-
ton on the subject Thursday and at
its close it was stated that satisfactory
terms had been reached whereby Oldfield
would be free to sign where he pleases.
For the present Oldfeld will rest, but when
the racing season opens he will be seen
once more on the track, although with
what machine he does not know
Mr.. Winton has only the highest praise
for Oldfields fearless driving and his keen
track generalship. But because he has
been urged by countless racing enthu-
siasts to lend his influence toward strength
ening the amateur game in this country
he deemed the change desirable To boost

arrangements whereby Harry Owesney, Mr..

Can Ducks Smell.

II has been often asked whether or not
ducks can smell Some hunters cite from
their experiences instances that seem TO
show ducks can smell, others that ducks
cannot. Now the naturalist would say that
ducks, owing 10 their habit, have no need
20 smell and hence cannot. This rule is
not infallibe. but generally holds good
ANY wild thing with such eyes as ducks
have do not need 10 smell Nature seems

animals discerning nose. A fox will
look straight at man and not see him
even when only a few feet away provided

regardless OF the wind. but will notice any

players so.

Manager Petty at the beginning of the
season that L would not stand for such
work and would refuse to permit a crooked

son | refused to play on the team with

THE DAllES.CEllO CANAL
OVER EIGHT MILES LONG,

Regarding the Dalles. .Cellilo canal.
the Chronicle gives these interesting
facts about that enterprise:
The canal is to be 65 feet wide at
the bottom, and little more than
eight and one-hslf miles In length,
and having depth Of eight feet, ex-
cept In the locks. where the depth
over the inter sills will be seven
feet. This depth Of water will be
ample, and is more than the draft Of
any boat now running up the river.
The upper terminus Of the canal 10
to be just above Cellilo falls, whore
the first Of tho four locks 10 to be
placed. This lock will have . lift Of
1T feet, which will be sufficient to
pass boats between the river and the
canal until the limit Of navigation 10
reached. From its upper terminus
tho canal will run west stward between
tho river and the o. r. & N. rail.
road, without interruption to the flow
Of water just below the head Of Five
Mile rapids. This lock will have Q
lift Of II feet. The lover terminus
Of the canal will be just below the
big eddy and will be equipped with q
tandem or double lock, which is
really two locks In one. Their com.
bined lit at times of extreme low
water will be 60 feet, or 34ia feet
for each lock. Below the terminus
of the canal the river will be i'm
proved and rendered nsviaable az
contemplated In the Hsrts project.
This will, Of course. include the i'm
provsment Of Three Mile rapids.
Each of the four locks will be 40
feet wide, and of sufficient length tn
accommodate boats $50 feet long. In
order to permit the passage through
the canal Of vessels going In opposite
directions, series of basins will be
constructed at intervals Of one mile,
each from 100 to 100 feet In width.
For about five and one-half miles
the canal will be cut through solid
rock. For three miles It will pass
through sand and gravel, and this
portion Of the canal will be lined
with walls Of heavy masonry, and the
bottom will be covered with con.
crete.

ASSESSMENTWO
ON FREE COINAGE

from EO cannon, Portland. relative
to the Free Coinage aud the jumping
thereof. as recorded In these columns
last week. He says:
"YOur article of the seventh In.
stant relative to Charles Hall jump.
tng the Free Coinage mining claim.
has been forwarded me by three OF
my Sumpters friends, and In regard
to Mr. Hall jumping the property
will say that, evidently, be has not
been properly informed regarding
the Free Coinage mining property,
or he should have refrained from
taking this step, a. the assessment
work has been done for the year
1908, by W. H. Rivercomb, who is at
present In the employ of the Bonanza
Mining company. We have three
witnesses that Mr.. Rivercomb did
this assessment work In q satisfactory
manner, and be placed the notice Of
this work having been done In the
hands Of the county recorder at Baker
City on, or about December 10, but
owing to the pressing business Of the
recorder he has not been able to
place'th upon record at the present
time.
"Now, II Mr.. Philbrick wishes
to make good bis statement published
January 0, that upon the proper
showing Mr.. Hall would take bis
notice down, should he be convinced
that the work bad been done, We are
pleased to cite to the above informa.
tion % evidence that the same has
been done and he can easily obtain
the proper veridcation Of the same.
~ do not think that Mr.. Phil.
brick or Mr.. Hall did this through
any maliciousness, but no doubt we're
misinformed and concluded that ws

the writer wishses to correct you In
this statement, AZ the property was
purchased by the writer from Bert
