handball. boxing bouts with Jen
Perry and Joe Meyer, roadwork which
lasted for less than an hour, and his
regular gymnasium work.

Rough House earned his name in the

rounds After finishing his work Hy-

The crowd is getting larger each day
at Hyland's camp, and Manager Perkins
has concluded that it will be necessary
to find some larger place for Hyland<to
box so as TO accommodate the throngs.
Perkins has planned outdoor boxing IN
the future, so when Fighting Dick dons
the mits today it will be in the fresh
air Any boxer who is desirous of put
ting on the mitts with the lightweight
is invited to do so today, as all comers
will be given a chance to show their
prowess with the mitts.
Jim coffroth received the following
dispatch from Willis Britt yesterday.
It was from New York and was dated
May %. 1t read as follows:
Il leave tonight TO arrange details.
There will be no bitches. Notify
This indicates that Willis has no fear
that Ketchel will not be able to make
the weight for the Kewanee lad and
that he does not want the match to slip
through. Evidently, from the dispatch.
Willis is westward bound, and he will
be here to witness the Nelson-Hyland

BIDS FOR DEPOT
OPENED MAY II

That the new o. r. & ~ depot will
soon be in course of construction is
evident from the fact that bids for
the construction of the building will
be opened May II, This was the an
nouncement made in letter received
this morning by Local Agent f. f.
Schuyler from j. p. O'Brien, vice
president and general manager of the
Hartman lines in oregon.
This announcement puts at rest
any doubts that may have been en-
tertained as to the intentions of the
railroad company to complete the
task Immediately. The notice was
for the benefit of local contractors
who are to be given an opportunity
to bid on the work, 1t being the de-
sire of the company to let the work
to Pendleton people IL possible
Though the work will probably be
started by June 1, it will be severa,
months before the building will be
ready for occupancy.
