Bob Deuere May
Be Groomed For
Bout With Jess

. . 3
renee, the Australian promoter, who
after making boxing the national sport
in his native land sold his interest
to John Wren, who controls the Nc
Intcsh-Baker stadium's syndicate in
Australia, is now grooming a boy who
gives promise of being the. one who
will wrest the heavyweight crown
from Jess Willard, worlds champion,
if given a chance with the champion
before the present season of boxing
is over.
The youngster. is Bob Deyere, who
recently came here from Kansas City,
and who is only 20 years of age He
was born in County Mayo, ireland,
and stands Just 6 feet in height. His
weight is 1875 pounds, every bit of
which is bone and muscle He was
brought up on farm in Missouri. He
has been boxing little over year
during which time he has made a
wonderful record for a youngster who
never saw a boxing glove until he was
put in the ring at Kansas City with
Sailor Grande, who only a few weeks
ago at Philadelphia gave Jack Dillon
the nght or MS lie.
Knockout in First Fight.
In his first fight Devere knocked out
the hard hitting sailor. The club re-
matched the pair, and this time the
big boy was returned winner on
points. Deyere then started to train
with Jim Flynn, who the first few
days at training quarters beat him up
lu hut koA
passed the Pueblo fireman gave De-
we're the gate from training quarters
because the Kid knocked him out in
one of their workouts.
Since then Devere has met nineteen
second class heavies in the west,
which included a fifteen round bout
with Dick Gilbert. He knocked out
Jack Grant in four rounds; Jack Law
Ter he stopped in one round; Jack
Lester was beaten in ten rounds, and
Devere knocked out twelve other big
fellows in quick order. His only de.
feat was at the hands of Carl Morris
in an eight round bout at Morris
home town.
Going Slow With Kid.
Lawrence, in speaking of his charge
today, said: Bob is only a boy and
do not intend to hurry him too fast,
although Sam Mcvey, who is tutoring
him in his race forthe heavyweight
crown, feels sure Devere can now de-
feat the man who holds the title"
McVey is taking the utmost interest
in the young Irishman who is head
ing towards cleaning UP the present
crop of heavyweights around the
East. Then he will be in a position
to go after Jess Willard.
Lawrence is going after Gunboat
Smith, Porky Flynn, Jim Savage and
Jim Flynn.

achievements.

ONTARIO BOYS CO
TO PAYETTE fire
Monday Night Fire Threatens to
Destroy Main Business
Block

Payette had a serious fire late
Sunday evening, and for a time one
of the main business blocks was In
danger of destruction. A barber
shop and restaurant were destroyed
and clothing store badly damaged
by water. The Golden Rule store
was on the other side of the fire and
was saved only after a hard fight by
the Payette department.
The danger was 80 great that an
emergency call was sent to the On
tario department, and six or eight
of the boys responded at about l A.
NJ. The Ontario crew was In Pay
ette twenty-five minutes after an
auto had been secured for the trip.
However, by the time they got there
the Payette fighters had the fire und-
or control and there was but little for
them to do.
A curious incident of the fire was
that a hot water tank exploded and
shot half way through brick wall.
The hole Il made in the wall was
'clean-cut and smooth with none OF
the bricks around IL broken.

WALLOWA LAKE
POPULAR RESORT
Many Ontarians Enjoying Cool
Nights and Mountain
Water

That Wallowa Lake Is proving very
popular with people from this section
of the state this year, and that when
more widely known, will be a close
rival of Payette Lakes, is stated by
II. w. Swagler who, with Mrs.
Swagler, returned last week from a
two weeks vacation at the popular
resort. The lake itself is most
picturesque spot and has been de-
clared by many who have travelled
tbroad, to rival any scenery in the
world. II Is four miles long and two
miles across and the bottom has new
er been reached.
II is an ideal camping spot, the
nights are very cool and the drinking
water is brought from mountain
springs and is ice cold. Comfortable
furnished tents and restaurant is
furnished for those who do not care
to take camping facilities with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swagler Joined n
camping party from La Grande.
Tom Jones and family from Vale are
spending their vacation there and
Mrs. V. b. Staples of Vale has Just
returned from an outing there.
Mr.. Taggart went up from here
about ten days ago to join Mrs. Tag
gart and little soii who have been
there for month. Last week Mr..

POTATOES FOR PLANTING.


Pooling the Seed Does Not inorsass
the Resultant Crop.
During my boyhood days my father
introduced number Of new varieties
Of potatoes into the section Of country
In which we lived, writes a Pennsyiva-
MIA farmer In the Rural New Yorker.
His purchase Of any new high priced
variety was always limited TO few
pounds. He wished first to test them
out to limited extent at least before
recommending them to his neighbors.
Being anxious TO test them for their
cooking and eating qualities as well AZ
for productiveness and size. at planting
time he always made practice Of TAX
ing peeling cuttings or sets from tbs
largest specimens. cutting this peeling
about threc-eighths or perhaps one-half
an Inch deep. separating the peel 80 as
to leave one good eye TO each section.
This would leave n large portion Of tho
potato for the cooking and eating test
As l remember Il, the peeled seed
grew as readily and vigorously and
made as good crop as the whole or
cut seed. In productiveness. size or
appearance they were IN no wise any
different from the tubers raised from
whole or cut seed. am strongly Of
the opinion that peeled seed can In no
way affect the resulting crop to It's bet

SllAae In Summer.

The dairyman who still has silage on
hand for use during the summer should
consider himself fortunate. There may
be many Of our readers who are having
their first experience In feeding silage.
These should bear In mind the fact
that exposed sllage spoils very quickly
In the warm weather. Spoiled silage
Is not good for any kind OF stock. and
special precaution should be taken In
handling silage during the summer
time to prevent spelling. During the
winter time as small quantity as an
inch OF silage may be removed daily
from the surface without having any
spelling take place. In the summer
time a much thicker layer must be re-
moved. For this reason a silo special
ly designed for summer use should be
smaller In diameter than a winter silo
for feeding the same number OF cattle.
Where silage Is left over and Is being
fed during warm weather the use OF a
tarpaulin on the surface of the silage
will save some spelling. Silage can be
fed from one-half of the silo at time.
The purpose OF the tarpaulin Is to ex-
clude the air from the surface as fully
as possible.

soon after its publication and brought
by Mr.. Bailey's grandfather to Iowa
in 1S49.
The map was substantially built
