Smoker
lPleased Everyone

The American Legion's second
smoker put on Saturday night was
one Of the best put on in the Inland
Empire for many months.
The main bout. between the veteran
Portland favorite. Pete Mitchie and
Seroy of Walla Walla. was in fine go.
Although considerably outweighed,
Mitchie forcing the fight every min
ute through six smashing rounds
easily won the decision over his heav-
ier opponent and upheld his reputa-
tion Of being "Our Tough Boy
Throughout the bout he kept Seroy
on the defensive. A. cut over his left
eye in the third round further ham,
pered Seroy SO that his extra weight
probably saved him from the X. o.
route.
As curtain raiser an unadvertised
bout between Gail Anderson Of Athe-
ma and Doyle Norren of Pendleton,
went like a Kansas Cyclone for four
full rounds, Anderson receiving a
much earned decision. This was by
far the best preliminary.
Stahl Of Adams. outweighed by 35
pounds, put up game fight against
Big Bill Murray of Athena, losing the
decision to Murray after injuring his
back against spectators knee dur
ing clinch in the 4th round. Despite
the difference in weight this proved
good 60 from the spectators point
of view.
Nose Banister one Of Athena's most
promising boxers, met Sam Luten, a
tough Indian lad, from Mission. For
two rounds these boys travelled at
terrific pace, but Banister's speed
together with Luten's lack Of condi-
tion, was too much for the latter. At
the end Of the second round, battered
and exhausted, Luten signified his de-
feat and Bannister was given the des-
ision.
Stane Ketchell and Danny Edwards
Of Walla Walla. also Dick Barnes
and Badly Bennett Of Walla Walla,
put on preliminaries.
A good house rewarded the Legion
for their efforts and the crowd went
away enthusiastic boosters for the
Legion's smokers.

Pythian Lodge No. 90, K. of P. Of
Athena proposes that the Knights Of
Pythias lodges Of Umatilla county
unite in holding a big fourth Of July
celebration in Athena this year. Eff
forts to have the county celebration
held in Athena are now being made,
and the prospects that it will be held
here are favorable, so it is under
stood.
The Pythians and their families
and friends held successful pic
mic at Cold Springs in the Blue Noun
tains, and since that time the prop
position of holding an annual Pythian
gathering has crystalized.
Athena is in position to offer the
Pythians splendid inducements in the
way of central location and the fin
est park in the county in which to
hold their celebration, and should they
decide to celebrate here-well, the
key belongs to them right now.
Possibly within the next week the
matter will be finally decided.

Revival of interest in the Athena
Commercial Club was evident at a
meeting held by club members, Tues
day night. A get-to-gether spirit was
enthusiastically manifested when it
became known that the club exchequer
was low and the fourteen members
present dumped $275 in to the treas
ury to liquidate outstanding indebt-
edness. @
Every member present voiced SEN
timent in favoring of better atten-
dance of club members and broader
scope Of endeavor on part Of the or
ganization.
W. S. Ferguson president of the
club, announced the object of the
called meeting, and after he had sta
ted its purposes, every member pres

Judging from the general attitude of
those who expressed themselves, the
club president will have no difficulty
in putting the organization where it
should be-in the front rank as a
community builder and social center
for its members and visitors.
A drive will be made to increase the
active membership of the club. 1t is
proposed to lower the rate of monthly
dues in accordance with the member
ship roll, the reduction following in
proportion to number of members
secured.
1t is possible that a series of lun-
cheons will be given IN the near fu-
ture, such as commercial bodies in
other towns have found to be Of much
benefit to their organizations.

Mr.. Barrett stated that the money

proceedings againet Smith,
Smith attributes the overage to
the condition of TIE scales on which
sacked grain was weighed and showed
a Press reporter where the ware
house floor had sagged. causing the
scales to bind. The effect according
to him would be that the weighedlin
grain would be lighter than when
weighed out after the scales had been
repaired
He said that he was not checked
in when he took the position with
the company, and later found the ov-
erage, most of which was sacked grain
which he dumped into the bulk bins.
Asked about the Pasco shipment
and why he deposited the proceeds
to his own credit H. Portland bank,
he replied that he feared the grain
purchasing companies would claim
the overage if they found it in the
elevator, and that before he had time
to turn the proceeds over to the COM
pany, the auditor had discovered the
transaction.
Smith when first confronted cliamed
that the shipment was mortgaged
grain belonging to Frank Jackson.
He claims that he was checked out
at Klondike. before coming here, and
that his personal account with the
Broadway State Bank of Portland,
was based on a deposit made by him
from funds he received from CON-
mission paid him by Kerr Clifford Co
on grain he purchased for that COM
parry, and that the deposit had been
left there to mees payments on his

Joe Clemons, employed at the ell
evator, says there were not over nine
sacks of sacked grain in the ware
house when Smith took charge, and
only one lot Of bulk grain. owned by
Louie Ringle, wheet which had been
wet. Joe said the overage was from
shortweights, and that one of the
directors had caught Smith making
an underweight of 200 pounds. Glenn

Smith was making it appear that
he tClemons) had been responsible

E.P. Dodd Makes
Open Statement
To the voters of Athena:

10 tne voters OIL Atnena:
/ have no platform but I herewith
submit the following statement of my
position on certain matters on which
legislation may be enacted.
I believe that the legislature should
set public example in general tax
reduction and that this example
should be followed by budget makers
in counties, cities, school and road
districts and by the people under in
itiative action and private affairs.
Reduction can be accomplished also
by readjust-- 1T of land values and
placing hidden sc..rccs of wealth on
tax rolls. 1t can be further accom-
plished by appropriating loan money,
by requiring greater service and eff
ficiency from public employees, and
by placing people in public trust who
are known to have the public welfare
at heart.
I favor maintaining the State Uni
versity, the Agricultural College and
State Normal School by the millage
tax only, and that all university and
college extension work, where pos
sible under the law, be held within
the provisions of the millage law.
1t was the intention Of the makers
of the millage law to stop log-rolling
for special appropriations.
! shall uphold all lawful effort to
enforce prohibition laws and / favor
Jail sentence for first offence moon
shining, and rigid laws against mar
cotic evil.
believe in simpler government
and greater interest of every citizen
in political and public affairs. / be-
lieve that every man and woman
should vote, and repeated neglect Of
this duty should be punished. That
Americanism should be a subject in
our public school and that politics
should not be game but the highest
duty Of citizenship. We need fewer
laws and more moral principle and
public integrity.
