Falls Timber company and the Sill
yerton Lumber company closed
their mills last evening and gave
their employees a holiday, the occa
sion being the state fair. Owing to

tard commercial interests here to

Paroled Boxer
Expected To Go
Far Up Ladder

When the sombre. gray gates of
the oregon state penitentiary open
ed Monday to Carmen Damelia it
was the raising of the curtain on
the career of one of the cleverest
and most scientific featherweight
boxers on the Pacific coast. Da-
melia, who is only 10 years old,
was paroled from the prison after
having served term of five months
for a minor offense.
Critics who have had occasion to
see Damelia in "action" declare
that with little training under COM
petent men he will in a shsrt time
battle his way to the top rung of
fightdom in the west. Upon his o.
parture from Salem and the prison
Tuesday Damelia went to Portland,
where he will train under Frank
Kendall, of the Milwaukee boxing
commission. Other offers have been
suggested to young Damelia but he
declined to accept them, believing
that his advance would be more
rapid under the coaching Oh fSen-
| dali.
Before coming to the pepiten-
tiary Damelia had CLEANED several
fistic honors. He fought with the
combat division in France, and
while not carrying gun and bat
Ting the common foe on the front
he furnished amusement for his
buddies by boxing. He also fought
At Fort Riley, AKIN, and in Texas
He has been fighting about three
years.
In two weeks Damelia is sched'
uled to make his debute in pubic
again in Salem when he meets BIZ

from Rock Island. Fight experts

sufficiently in this short time &c

missed comparatively few since the
close of the war. Born in oregon
in December 1888, he is nearly s2
years old, but his physical and mem
