HIGHWAY 10 10 10 10 10 Salem, Ore. (Special) Some nine ty odd horses ars now training on the Salem track for the Oregon State Fair meet and not a fast one owned in the Northwest is missing from the entry list. Secretary Prank Mere dith says he looks for the track rec ord to go hv the boards at this meet because of the improvements made in the course. One of the big features is the steeplechase event in which, strange to say, most of the entries have conic from women owners. It seems from this that the sticks arc most in favor by the women of the Pacific Northwest. At least they seem to own more hurdlers than the men, if the entry lists arc a guide of what the women of Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho, Montana and Jlritish Columbia have to offer for the sport of those whp go to the Oregon State Fair this year, Reduced rates are in effect on all rail lines for thjs meet from September 11 to 10 inclusive.
