THE MOKJfING OKEGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 21, 1907. POPULAR IH MANY'' CITIES Meadows Meet at Seattle Is Attracting Large Number of Horsemen. MATT REISS A WINNER Miss Officious Captures the 1909 Handicap and Enriches Her Owner by a Xeat Sum Review of Grand Circuit Racing. The year 1907 has been a remarkable one in the horse world, not only from the standpoint of the pacer and trotter, but the runners have enjoyed their share of the prosperity experienced by turf men all over the United States and Can ada. Portland, alone of all the large Western cities, goes through the season without a regular" meet, and aside trom the all-too-short attractions furnished by the Portland Hunt Club and Riverside Driving Association, this city has not en. joyed a race meet for two years. At Seattle the Meadows meet has proved a huge success, and is attracting large crowds of horse-lovers who Journey to the Puget Sound metropolis from all parts of the Northwest, which demon strates the popularity of the "sport of kings" in this vicinity. Under favorable conditions, by which is meant an hon estly conducted meet, the racing game might flourish in Portland as well. Some two years ago the Portland pro moters of horse racing became involved -in a quarrel among themselves and as a result pool selling was placed under the ban. Since then various efforts have been made to resume racing but without success and now the handsome track which attracted so many and such larg crowds during the short period of three or four years the game flourished here, : is to be torn down and cut up into uild lng lots. In Seattle a slight agitation is being . conducted with a view of enacting a law against horse racing, but according to the views of several horsemen and sporting authorities, the efforts of the reformers will be of no avail. They base their assertions on the fact the public wants the races, and as a rule the public gets what it wants. At the Meadows last Saturday the first event of a series of at least three was run. It was the Initial running of the 'lStO" handicap, which will, during the ear of the proposed Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, be valued at $20,000. The running of the first "1909" and the clever win by Matt Reiss' splendid little 3-year-old fiUy, Miss Officious, could hardly have been a more popular one. The owner Is a Seattle man, and as his entry had scored several times, previously at the Meadows, and had shown great promise as a 2-year-old, the little mare, so cleverly handled by Jockey W. Kelly, scored a victory that enriched the Reiss coffers .by $3075 and earned the approval of all who witnessed the going. Her vic tory not only proved pleasing to the public, but it also proved a good thing for the bookies, for Logistllla, of the Hoak & Co. stables, was the heavily played favorite and was touted to win in a walk. The Hoag entry had captured the majority of the stake and purse events on the California tracks last Win ter and ' was primed for the big Seattle event. Miss Officious, by her victory Saturday, placed her owner. Matt Reiss. at the head of the winners at the Meadows for the season. So far this season he has $ii090 to his credit as a result of the perform ances of his stable. -The greatest portion of, this has been won by the winner of the '"10O9" handicap. Miss Officious, the winner Of the big Seattle event, is a half-sister to Bally Hoo Bay, the famous favorite of the late William C. Whitney, and was bred on the celebrated Whitney stock farm in Ken tucky. The Whitney trainers did not be lieve, that she was strong enough to show class . In a race and on account of a supposedly weak back, was useless for breeding purposes, and she was disposed of to Barney Schreiber, who later sold the mare to Matt Reiss. The judgment Df the Whitney trainers, and also the fa mous California turfman has been dis proved since she became the property of Reiss, for she has shown class on many occasions, which is evidence that '.he best of breeders and followers of the . racing game sometimes fail when judg ment is required. Barney Schreiber, probably the most successful and luckiest horseman on the Coast since the palmy days of "Lucky" Baldwin, is on his way to hold a con ference with President Tom WillianiB of the Pacific Jockey Club, who Is spending his vacution in the mountains near the McCloud River. The object of Schreib er's visit to Williams" is to secure his sanction to the erecting of another track to take the place -of the Ascot Park place at Los Angeles. The new site is called Arcadia, and as such the track. If built, will be known, and the racing enthusiasts along the Coast are anxious y awaiting the result ot the Schreiber Wllliams conference. , The interest In the meeting is greatly enhanced by the report that George Rose la also hurrying to the McCloud River Summer home fff the chief of the jockey club, and it is said his object is a sim ilar one to that of the "Lucky Dutch man." Rose has long been connected with the Ascot track, and since that structure is about to be closed, owing to It having met the same fate as Irv ington. that of being turned into town lots, the well-known Los . Angeles turfite Is desirous of seeujjnjr the sanc tion of Williams In favor of the new site at Arcadia. As he has the prior claim on the Los Angeles terri tory, it will undoubtedly prove an Inter esting struggle between him and Schreib-. er and just what concessions Rope" will ma.;e to the genial Barney are problem atical. , The recent Grand Circuit meeting at Buffalo was most favorable, when gen eral results compared with those of pre vious meetings are concerned, but It failed to bring out anything iii the rec-ord-breaKing and sensational lines. Material changes were made this year In Buffalo's' racing system, the associa tion doing away entirely with its former three-heat plan by limiting every race to four heats, except the youngster event, with the noticeable result of fea tureless racing compared with the years when the 'shorter system was In vogue. The association, also changed Its com plicated method of dividing purses an stakes, going back to the regulation per centage system, a change which no doubt was welcomed by the winning owners and drivers. The system under which the1 recent Buffalo meeting was held Is a new one for the harness turf,- but the showing made was such that it is not likely to be followed by others, or pernaps given another trial even by the association which Introduced it. members of the Grand Circuit who advocate the longer system would not change from the plan of limiting each race to five heats alter sending horses, which do not stand for a portion of the purse, to the stable, at the finish of the third heat, a plan which has shown some merit and pro duced better resuus. ' Last year four- trotters took reduced records at Buffalo, same as this year, but while three of the four last year en tered the 2:10 list, only one secured that distinction at Buffalo, namely Wilkes Heart. The showing In the pacing division, however, was much better compared with 1906, when seven obtained reduced records, of which only luree entered the 2:10 list, while recently nine took -new marks, all in 2:10 or better, including four new fast performers. Sonoma Girl trotted a mile in 2:06 3-4, the fastest In that u. vision, against An glola's 2:06 3-4, but this was partly made up In the pacing division by Angus Pointer winning a heat in 2:03 1-4. against Ecstatlc's 2:04 1-4 In' 1906. Stakes and purses are divided accord ing to the published rules of the asso ciation. The fourth money, or $1000, of tne Empire State Stake has been ..vided between three horses, and In order to avoid putting down fractions, Atheshan has been credited with $334, also its driver. -he figures follow: MONEY WINNERS TROTTERS.

GRANT'S PASS, Or., Augr. 18. (To the Editor.) The annual meeting of the Oregon Irrigation Association will be held In Grant's Pass September 10, 11, 12. The. National Irrigation Con gress closes at Sacramento, Cal., Sep tember 7. and we have the assurance from Secretary Garfield and Secretary Wilson that all the Government ex perts who will be af Sacramento will come direct to Grant's Pass and take part in the Oregon Irrigation Conven tion. I have the personal promise of both Mr. Newell and Mr. Plnchot that they will attend our convention and take part in the proceedings. It 1 expected that there will be 3000 Eastern people at the Sacramento1 Congress, and we shall send a strong; delegation there In the effort to in duce as many people as possible to return by way of Oregon to their homes, and to stop off for a day at Grant's Pass. We have the co-operation of the Southern Pacific Railroad in this effort, and feel certain that we shall get 500 or more of the delegates to visit Oregon. We are also arrang ing for a business men's excursion from Portland to visit "Rogue River Valley. The itinerary would be to leave Portland Tuesday evening: ar rive in Grant's Pass the next morning; spend the day and that night there; the following morning leave for Ash land, then to Medford and on the branch road to historic old Jackson ville; back to Medford and on the new Estes road to Eagle Point; and back to Medford and leave for Portland that evening, arriving home the next morning. . On the same tiates as the meeting of the Irrigation Convention, there will be held the Rogue River Valley Indus trial Fair. It Is the first real fair to be held in the Rogue River Valley and .will be strictly a display of the products of this section of Oregon, "so that we may show our visitors the re sources and possibilities of this highly favored by nature but undeveloped Valley. The citizens of both Jose phine and Jackson Counties are giving the most hearty support to this under taking and we shall be able to make a creditable showing. One feature of it is to be a complete display of sam ples of all the clays, shales, llmerock, marble and other of the common min erals with a view of ascertaining the possibility of inaugurating clay-working, cement, lime and other like in dustries. We have the assurance from Secretary Garfield that he will send a Government expert to examine the samples, and such "as are of value he will send to Washington, D. C, and have tested for us. We propose to make this Fair and the Irrigation Convention strong fac tors In drawing the attention of in vesters and homeseekers to Rogue River Valley. And as the develop ment of this section of Oregon will be to Portland's gain in many ways, we hope to secure the co-operation of the business men of that city in this work. CHARLES MESERVE.

Banfield Meets Proposal of Lafe Pence to Furnish Wood at ' Cost With Offer to Deliver Without Profit. If the predictions of a number of local wood dealers are correct, Port land is threatened by a fuel famine. They declare that the " price of the best, first-growth dry wood will soar to $10 or $12 a cord, and that it will be -difficult to meet the demand at any price. By some of the dealers, the shortage is now felt, and they are un able to fill the orders of their cus tomers. Scarcity of labor and inad aquate transportation facilities are given as causes of the shortage. Bell & McDonald, owners of a large woodyard at 313 Water street, have felt the effects of the poor transporta tion service. They report that they have at least 1000 cords of dry wood scattered along the West Side division of the Southern Pacific, but have been unable to get it hauled to this city. Mr. McDonald has made requests for cars time and time again, but has dif ficulty in obtaining a definite answer from the railroad officials. They hav,e at last promised him, however, to sup ply all the cars he needs. According to Mr. McDonald, this shortage of cars has proved a boon to the fuel consumers. He believes that had all the wood lying along the railroad lines been brought to the city, it would have been burned during the Summer months, and that by Novem ber 1 there would not have been a stick of It left. People have been burning slab and green wood during the Summer, and the supply of dry wood haa scarcely been touched. Woodclioppers Are Scarce. The fuel dealers experience a great deal of trouble in securing laborers to cut wood. . Very few white men will now consent to do this work, and the only laborers available are Japanese. Sometimes a few farmers will cut wood in the Winter, after their crops are harvested, but demand such high wages that the firms do not care to hire them. With all the railroad con struction under way in the state, few teamsters care to haul wood, as the wages are low and the work harder than that in the grading camps. Mr. McDonald ' said that he believed the price of first-class dry wood, delivered, would probably be advanced to $10 or $12 a cord after November 1. A new co-operative fuel firm Is now in the field, and announces that It Intends to break the fuel trust. So far this new concern has bought up 3100 cords of wood, and has options on about 20.0000 cords additional. The company sells its wood on a rather remarkable plan. The person desiring" wood goes to the office of the concern and orders as many cords as he wishes. The wo.vi Is sold at the rate of $5 a cord, and the purchaser is glvefl one share " of stock In the company for each cord of wood he buys. The firm then agrees to have the fuel at the purchaser's house or place of business In ten diys. A 10 per cent deposit Is required, and the rest is payable on delivery. In stead of paying directly to the com pany, the purchaser deposits the money with a local bank, and the money :s then given to the officials of the com pany. As soon as the wood season Is over and ehougrh stock subscribed, the company will be Incorporated. The managers of the concern say that a dividend will be declared as soon as the Incorporation papers are Issued, and that part of the original payment will be' returned to the stockholders. They say that the actual cost of wood is only about $4 a cord and a dividend can be easily declared. After the com pany Is lncorpoiated, wood 'will be sold only to the stockholders. It is not know how long the company's present supply of wood will last, and unless more options are secured it must sus pend business. It is also planned to signed on the output of a mill near Rainier. Pence Suggests Co-operation. Lafe Pence is also going into the arena as an enemy of the fuel trust and a friend of the "helpless consumers. Mr. Pence says he can bring 10,000 cords of dry wood Into the city in a few months, and If the Chamber of Commerce is willing to finance the project and sees that no speculators are allowed to take advantage of the low price, he is willing to sell it at $5 a cord. In order to cover the cost of cutting, hauling and transportation to the city, Mr. Pence wishes a guarr antee of about $8000. M. C. Banfield, of the firm of Banfield & Vesey. speaking of this plan, said, should Mr. Pence care to bring wood Ipto the city and furnish to a committee of the fhamber of Com merce, or any similar body, a detailed statement of the cost of the wood, that he. Mr. Banfield, will dellve the wood at actual cost. He will likewise furnish detailed figures of cost to the Alcohol - Without Alcohol - Without Alcohol - Without Alcohol mm?
