La GRANDE POLICE
SEIZE NEAR BEER

La Grande.-Walking into the Pal
ace saloon last evening Chief Of Po-
lice Lou Rayburn picked up a glass
Of near beer that was being served
to a customer and walked with it to
the city hall. The incident stirred
up a great deal Of comment about
the streets and rumors of Something
doing were rife.
1t is understood the present pro-
prietor Of the place, Ralph Adkins,
has no license to sell near beer. He
succeeded Wilkerson, who had his IL
cence revoked by the city several days
ago for selling near beer to minor.
It is said that the new proprietor
has never made application for a IL
cense. Interesting developments are
expected.-Star.

DIR. ROLLER FAILS TO
TUMBLE TWO WRESTLERS

Portland.-Dr. Roller, the Seattle
wrestler failed to throw Charley OIL
son and Big Yousiff substituted for
John Berg, in the latter's inability
to go on, in the required rs minutes,
and forfeited the match last night.
The big Turk gave Roller a vicious
battle, and 1t was all that Roller could
do to tip him in "a minutes and 20
seconds, says the Journal.
Roller applied all sorts of holds on
Yousiff, but the foreigner had all
sorts Of strength and succeeded in
breaking them. His great defense
won the crowd over, although along
in the first part his rough tactics drew
some uncomplimentary remarks. Rol-
Ter applied a toe hold that Yousiff
suffered a lot Of pain before kicking
out 0 fit. He finally downed Yousiff
with a head and wrist lock
When Olson went on the mat, his
funny physique occasioned some sur
prise. In a minute he showed that
he knew a lot more about the game
than Roller and had the latter on de-
fensive. That there was most extra
ordinary strength in those pipestem
legs of Olson, was shown by the way
he picked the 215 FOUNDER up and
slammed him down on the mat. once
he came almost tying Roller in knot
but the latter's strength enabled him
to break loose. Olson was on top for
the most part of the remainder of the
match, and was there when time was
called.
1t was a good match and the crowd
was small for such a high class card.
In the preliminary Stranger Smith
defeated Bulger in straight falls;
once by strangle hold and again by
a scissors and wrist hold.
AL Kaufman, the near-champion of
the ring, was to referee, but was Rol-
ler's second. Mark Shaughnessy, the
old time sporting man, officiated sat
isfactorily.

OLD PHONE USERS
ARE NOT AFFECTED

"The advance in telephone charges
will apply only 10 parties contracting
for phones subsequent to August l.
All those having phones at that time
have contracts with the Pacific
States company which insure them
service at the old rates as long as
they continue their phones"
This statement was made today by
L. G.. Mcclellan, local manager for
the Pacific States company. In an IN
terview with this paper yesterday Mr..
Mcclellan told of a 25 cents per month
advance on all household phones.
But it now appears that the increas-
ed charges apply only to new sub
scribers and as a result those already
having phones will not suffer by
the advance.

"And We are mighty glad to get

Leon Cohen of the Peoples Ware

of Europe, just completed by himself
and wife. He was far from being dis
appointed with the trip, however. for
it was undoubtedly one of the most

Gently by Pendleton residents.
1t was enormously stated Thursday
that they included Asia in their trav-

first went to Egypt, going up the Nile
to the first falls and visiting all the
points of interest in that famous and
ancient country. The pyramids. the
sphynx, and the modern excava ions
at Luxor, were all examined.
Starting back. they stopped at Ma
pies and made a trip to the recently
stricken cities of Messina and Reggie
and visited the famous isle Of Capri.
A short stop was also made at Creto.

for pension, but representations were
