9 BON GUY CAPTURES CHIEF SALEM RACE -Muddy Track Upsets Calcula tions in Lewis arid Clark Trot. EVERY HEAT IS EXCITING TKE MORNING - OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. - SEPTEMBER 6, 1912. Mountain Boy Springs Surprise in I , Third All Style Is Contender. Bernice R., FaTorite, Tires i on Heavy Speedway. SALEM. Or., Sept. 5. (Special.) Bon Guy, a bay out of Bon Voyage and Lamusgovlta, driven by Woodcock and from the stables of S. S. Bailey. Fleas- nton, Cal., captured three heats and first money in the big 2:12 Lewis and Clark trot, the feature race of Port land day at the State Fair matinee this afternoon. He did not get the long end of the purse in straight heats, how ever, and the race was a battle to the finish, going the full five heats. Bon Guy, nevertheless, had the race well in hand at the end of the fourth heat, with two flrsts and two seconds, it being possible for him to drop be hind the first money only by getting behind the distance flag. He went after and captured the last heat, re gardless. The time was slow and the track was heavy. Early in the races the mud was deep. but the track not so heavy. After a few heats tne mud began to stiffen up and there were four tired horses, the I sole survivors of a field of 12, who fin ished the last heat In the big race. Both Bernice PL and Phyllis Wynn seemed to be favorites, while Henry Gray, a big gelding from Seattle, who Is always a favorite here, the home of his childhood, was picked as a good chance, as he carries a strong reputa tion as a mud horse and was loudly greeted by the crowd. Few Pick Bob Guy to Win. Borne of the wise ones had detected Bon Guy as a likelhood for first money, but he was not well known to the crowd here and when in a heat marked by pretty drives he went across the wire a length ahead of Bernice R. in the first heat, a new star had entered the Salem racing firmament. In the second heat All Style, another Cali fornia horse, from the Perkins stables at KocKlIn, took Bon Guy s measure. but Bon Guy finished a good second. It was In the third heat that the sen sational drive of the day was made and the man who made it has marked him self one of the classiest drivers on the circuit earlier in the week. Mountain Boy, with Springer up, who took the 2:Z4 trot Monday and was considered no strong contender in the fast 2:12 class, gave the surprise of the day. At the tail end of the field he was held back by Springer until the three-quar ters, when he began to take a SDurt. He was still not seriously thought of until nearly to the stretch, when he be gan to show real speed. Down the stretch he nosed out Bon Guy in one of the best drives of the year and for the first time began to look like a real contender- in the race. In succeeding heats luck went against Mountain Boy. Both of the last two heats he broke early past the start and in both made magnificent bursts of I speed, but was unable to overcome the lead he had done In the third heat. Bon Guy walked away with the last two heats, but each one of them was a I race, with some pretty driving between Mountain Boy and All Style for second money. Although Bernice R. had a fine chance for fourth money, she was drawn after'the third heat and Henry Gray had fourth money in his pocket with no further effort than to keep wunin me distance nag. Although the time was slow in this race, for a 2:12 trot, there was nothing eventless about any heat and the crowd was Kept guessing every minute. The 2:20 pace provided another thrill er, although Roseburg Boy took straight heats. Starting was slow to. day. owing to the bad condition of the track, and at 3 o'clock, one hour and one-nan arter the races started, only one heat had been paced. The 2-year-old futurity pace was the best of the futurities seen this week and uu real race, although Prince Zolock took it In-straight beats. He had no walk away. Bertie Seattle came near trim ming the Prince in the second heat and it was only By a shave that Zolock iook tne nrst money. Lady Dillon Win Wednesday. In yesterday's races Lady Dillon took nrst money in the 2:30 trot, as shown in me summary, Instead of second money, as incorrectly announced.

Esther W. 1 9 Contender for Event bnt Jersey City Stallion Has Greater Speed In Clashes. HARTFORD. Conn.. Sept. S Baden. the Jersey City stallion, owned and driven by A. S. Rodney, won the ,10.000 trot at the Charter Oak grand circuit races today, but only after a hard fought battle. The event went the full five heats. Esther W. capturing second FOOTBAIX and Roth McGregor third. In the third heat Jauen went off his f jet at the start and fell behind nearly an eighth of a mile, but at the three quarter mark he not only had over taken the leaders, but had recovered the pole. It was the prettiest exhibi tion seen on the track In years. Ba EVE1RY0NE knows how tne old and guzzled nations looked with curiosity upon the stripling, which, in 1 776, set up its own Government, and named itself "The United States of America." Europe called it "The American Experiment The 135 years since then are the most marvelous years of development ever passed through by any country. The 3,000,000 Americans then are 90,000,000 to-day. The 13 states then are 48 to-day, and some of them are larger than European kingdoms. . Is all this an accident? Would we be the nation we are now without some great underlying cause? . That cause is the American Government, whose acts and policies took their initial direction from the swords of your fore fathers, and whose destinies are now subject to your will at the ballot box. -' That Government, the product of five generations of Americans, is the richest inheritance ever handed down to the citizens of any nation, and it is yours. What do you know about it? Haven't you often wished for a true picture of your Government? Not a Republican picture, not a Democratic picture, but an accurate, unprejudiced, non-political picture of the Government of which you are a part and partner ? The Am A Book Marvelous Picture of a Marvel ous Government. That picture is now for the first time put before the American people. Frederic J. Haskin, in his book. "The American Gov ernment." has set forth the story of the actual workings of the great Governmental Machine in a manner at once so skillful and accurate as to win the commendation of our greatest statesmen. Republican and Democrat alike, and which will quicken the pulse of every American who reads it. The lid of the White House is literally lifted off that you may see your Presidents as though you lived with them, what they are, what they do, how they live. The impenetrable dignity of the Supreme Court is removed as if by magic that you may see the inner workings of the most powerful tribunal on earth. You are carried to the ports and the courts of the world to see the thousand and one tentacles of your Department of State, ab sorbing political and commercial information, often without your knowledge, but always for yout benefit Vou are shown how the Weather Bureau is pulling down the secrets of the upper air to aid the shippers of merchandise, to safe guard those who travel on the seas, and to give the farmers warning and advice in the care of their crops. You are shown how the operations of Uncle Sam's health officials have so zor proved the conditions of living in the United States that during ten years the average American life has been prolonged about 13 per cent to be exact, your funeral has been postponed 4 years, I month and 6 days.

The Question of playing only Sunday ball In the major league will come up, and Its adoption would mean the elim ination of the Multnomah squad from the league proper, though it would con tinue to play matches with the teams on a friendly basis. Another important point for discus sion will he the question of running one big league Instead of two smaller ones. Last season the Oregon tieague did great work In teaching its members the main points of the game. Provided the Sunday ball comes ,into effect, the Nationals would undoubtedly be the strongest team in the league, but all the others would be more or less on terms of equality. The Cricketers and the Oceanlcs would be put hard to It to beat the leading teams of the Oregon League by more than the odd goal In three, and the Introduction of new teams on a par with them would serve to stimulate the keenness of the struggle for second place. A cup was awarded last year to the winners of the Oregon League by Archer & Wiggins, but this cup could possibly go to the runner up In the SEASON TO OPEN If Games Are Confined to Sundays Multnomah Club Will Be Out.

HASKIN That Shows Uncle Sam An Absolutely Accurate Book You can see the entertainment and profit this book has in store for you, and the best thing about it is the accuracy of every state ment. The author Is prepared to furnish a guar antee in this respect that never has been equalled before. Each of the thirty chapters has been submitted to and approved by lead ing authorities from the President down. After you have examined the accompanying list of chapters, and the names of the men who have vouched for them, the claim that this is an accurate book needs no further corroboration. The Illustrations In addition to the text, this remarkable book contains a pictorial story of ; govern mental activity. The illustrations are all full page in size and were made from photo graphs taken especially for this edition by Mr. Bamey M. Clinedinst, who has photo graphed so many distinguished persons and notable events that he has been dubbed "the Court Photographer of America." Mr. Clinedinst's camera was hoisted to the tower above the Weather Bureau to snap the ap paratus that reads the clouds; then lowered to the vaults of the Naval Observatory to picture the clock that regulates the time for the United States. It has caught at work the man wjio makes the paper money we Americans spend so freely, and it shows Dr. Wiley tinkering with his test tubes and nos trum catchers. Only a few of the pictures can be mentioned here, . service to Its readers. The Oregonian has arranged with Mr. Haskin to of his valuable book for Portland.

The author of this is a newspaper corres pondent whose special articles on current affairs, politics, social economy, travel and other, subjects have been given wide publica tion -throughout the United States in recent years. In the course of his investigations he has been sent by the great newspapers into all parts of the world, and he has had the benefit of most varied and extensive observa tion. His work has invariably been notable for care in securing facts, and for rare skill in narrating them. It has won him the con . fidence of Presidents, statesmen, diplomats, and party leaders. How the American Government Came to be Written Thousands of scrap-books are stored with Mr. Haskin's articles, and he has received a constant stream of letters calling for infor mation pertaining to the Government. It was this widespread interest, and the belief that he would be rendering a great educa tional service, that inspired Mr. Haskin with the idea of undertaking the enormous task he has just completed. - You Must Read It A thousand and one points of information, not only valuable, but fascinating, are wait ing for you in "The American Government" Read it for the interest that is in it; read it for the sake of better citizenship; read it that you may better understand what is go ing on in your Government; read it that you may more clearly decide what you want your Government to be; read it to learn about a machine you partly own; read it for the pleasure in store for you, for it will hold you like a "best seller." handle, WITHOUT rtaee 21 from The - - ... the Nationals outright the source aggregates $50,000.
