Very good. Johnson, go on up

that he was a nervous wreck before
he entered the ring. Cornell said:
"Jeffries suffered mental and ner-
vous breakdown in the rub room
shortly before noon of the day of the
fight He showed symptoms three
days before" Local writers who
watched Jeff agree that he was gone
before he entered the ropes to get
licked. They say the talk of his be-

responsible for his condition.
Close friends of Jeffries are urging
him to undergo an examination by

the announcement made last evening
by Local Agent T. f. O'Brien.
The structure is now practically
completed and was lighted up last

trast was freely commented upon by
the mayor and members of the city
council, who had responded to Mr..
OBrien's invitation to inspect the
building.
More than 100 lights have been
placed lin and about the building and
when the juice is turned on, not only

That the meeting was a complete sue

possible one of attendance. is gener-

less than half what was anticipated
from the eastern oregon towns, while
th6 number of prominent visitors from
outside the district was especially
large.

some others the banquet last night
was one of the most enjoyable feat
