SKIPPER STUDENT
EXHIBIT OF OREGON'S
BEST HORSES
Orogon Agricultural College, Cor
vallU, Dec. 27. The best farm
horse of the Wlllamotte Valley, the
best roadsters from the farms of the
breeders, the best draft horses from
Portland, and the best thoroughbreds
of the Northwest will be seen by the
visitors of the horse show on Friday
evening, Junuary 7. at the O. A. C.
armory. In addition to this unex
celled display of horseflesh a number
of equestrian feats, such as high

have been provided for entertain
ment. In view of the fact that these
horses are belnl displayed merely for
the educational valhe of the show
and to further Interest In good horses
In Orepon, exhibitors are not given
prizes for the winning animals. Only
cntrymen who are Interested in pro
moting Improved breeds of horses
are taking part in the show and these
naturally expect to find their reward
In the betterment secured rather than
In personal awards.
In order to defray the actual ex
penses of caring for the slock, fur
nishing feed and making other ar
rangements for the show, It has been
found necessary to make a slight
charge for admission. Just what the
dharge will be has not yet been an
nounced but It will not be any more
than required to cover the actual cost
of producing the show. Horsemen
making entries In any class will be
provided with complimentary tickets
and their stock will be cared for at
the college free of charge.
A new class, ladles' saddle horses
under saddle, has been formed and
already an even half-dozen ambitious
and skillful horsewomen have an
nounced their purpose to ride In the
contest. Final arrangements are be
ing rapidly concluded and any one
wishing to secure a place In this or
any other class announced should
write Carl N. Kennedy, 0. A. C, Cor

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM TWO COUGARS
A. W. Markee, a homesteader liv
ing six miles south of Cascadla, last
Sunday had an experience which the
average man would not care to ex
perience every day.
. Mr. Marnee left his home to re
turn a cross-cut saw to a neighbor
who lives near by. He was on bis
return, carrying bis gun at his side
when he was startled by a sound
back of hlra. Thinking he had Jump
ed a deer he swung around suddenly
with the gun pointed at the direction
of tho sound and beheld a big cou
gar about to make the second leap
at him. Quicker than thought he
fired, the bullet striking the animal
and wounding it. Almost simulta
neously another monster of the for
est lit near where the first one was
shot, and a second shot brought It
to the ground and another bullet was
necessary to stop it. By that time
the first cougar was nearlng its In
tended victim and Markee stopped
It with a well-directed shot in the
head. The shooting all over, Mr.
Markee began to realize what he had
escaped and was dreadfully frightened.
The pair of cougars, each of which
measured eight feet long, had no
doubt observed Markee pass the first
time and aid In wait. They Jumped
from a log up the side of the moun
tain from the trail, making a leap of
about 30 feet, but each fell about 15
feet short of their intended mark
Hud thoy lit closer to the trail it
would have been a slim chance for
Markee, who would have been torn
to shreds In an Instant. Being to
gether the animals were emboldened
and more brazen than cougars usu
ally are.
Aa proof of his marksmanship Mr.
Markee brought his pelts to Albany
Saturday and collected $10 on each
from the county and $15 on eaoh
from the state, making $50 for a few
seconds of excitement on a Sunday
morning. Albany Express.

As the steamer Wapama Is a home
vessel and the first built In the St.
Helens shipyard and owned and oper
ated by a home company, the follow
ing sketch of It captain will be of
Interest, not only to the public, but
to the young men of today as an
example of what Capt. Foldat has
done, can be accomplished by others.
The article Is from the Oregonian.
When the steamer Wapama, of the
McCormick Lumber Company's fleet
of coastwise vessels, starts on a voy
age for Mexico within a few weeks,
carrying a million or more feet of
Oregon timber, she will be In charge
of Captain Foldat, one of the veteran
skippers of the Pacific Coast, whose
rise from before the mast has
stamped him as one of the "student"
captains in the coastwise service.
Captain Foldat, besides being one
of the best-known masters on the
Coast, 1: one about whom the roman
tic history of seafaring life is closely
woven, and his selection as one or
the two captains to carry cargo to the
new trade fields opening up In Mex
Ica and other Central American
countries carries with It a story of
study and application.
Thirty years ago Captain Foldat
hipped out of Norway as an appren
tice. He knew nothing of sea life
except that It offered hlra an oppor
tunity. Born in Russia near Llbau,
he knew In a general way that many
strong men wero taking to sea and
that It demanded strong men to sur
vive It.
In the years that followed, under
flags of several maritime nations,
until the Inst decade or so, when he
took up his charge on a steam vessel,
Captain Foldat sailed every point or
the compass and drew up on the Pa
cific Coast a few years ago because
he had learned through study in the
lonely nights at sea that the Pacific
Ocean trade offered advantages to the
rising seafarer.
He was qualified. He wanted to
find his bridge. This he did In the
coastwise trade of the United States,
and eight years ago became identi
fied with the. McCormick company.
For that company he has carried
lumber and general cargo Into every
port along the Pacific Coast of the
United States, although some of the
ports were little more than a dock
stuck out Into the Pacific Ocean.
Because Captain Foldat can enter
Mexican port and converse with
officials in their native tongue; be
cause he can go to China and make
himself understood there and get
what he wants, and because he can
do likewise In any of the ports of
India, South Africa or almost any
where In the world, may explain why
he has been chosen a one of the two
skippers to break the way for the re
newed traffic in Mexico, where the
Spanish he has learned while study
ing In his cabin during the long
nights out to sea will stand htm in
good hand, but It also recalls that
without ever entering a rchoolroom
Captain Foldat has sufficiently per
fected himself In the laws of naviga
tion and In mathematics and" lang
uages to carry his charge with suc
cess.
