PAGK TWO LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1914, RACING BARN SIRING LARGE SEVERAL NAGS WORKING OUT WITH SATISFACTION. Eastern Oregon Turf History Will Be Made It Is Believed. It U not generally known that La . Grande boasts some very promising fillies for 'track services this year.. Hidden behind a high board fence and kept under lock and key in close stables of the fair grounds one will find a few horses with good records and others that will make records as the season progresses. And the own ers are La Grande men who are , spending about thirty dollars a month per horse for their upkeep and care, and who aim to give La Grande some j advertising through the stellar feats of their promising equines.- " "Harold Welcome" owned by Grant . Lincoln and now being put through the stunts by Chas. Butcher, has a track record of 2.11 and a quarter. It is predicted by everyone owning horses in the stable that Harold Wel come is going to make 2.06 or better this summer. He is a pacer and has both style and muscle. He is over four. - - "Cantatrice" is another animal that .' is expected to do well this summer. ' She is a dark bay mare and is tall and Jongboned, with a good reach and wiry of muscle. She had a record of 2.25 and is expected to make 2.15 this summer, or better. She is owned by Frank Childera and is being put through the sprouts by Chas. Butcher. Then there is a long string of two and three year olds , that have no record and which are here after a tireless weeding out process. Some of the younger stock that has been in the barns most of the winter has been sold, turned out on pasture or traded, and what is left presents the cream of the blooded pacers and trot ters that will be" seen on the track this summer. ' - i.-.f j "Virginia Dare" a three year old, by Exarious and Indian girl and its sister, a two-year old! named "Indian , . Maid" are promising colts and will in time make good' track artists. Both are owned by Childera. Bud McAllister of this City also has a string of fine trotters on which he will bank money this summer. "Bud Kinney" a three-year old is going to .bo some performer if looks count for anything. He is sired by Al Kinney I and by Dolores M. He has reach and ( strength and is a sample of the finest , kind of Eastern Oregon trotters. He should make a mark for himself. "Beatrice" a six-year-old by Beau mont Jr., and "Tilly M" is likewise a promising little lady. "Patricica May" a three-year-old by Exarious and Lady of Wealth, owned by E. B. Johnston of La Grande, stands in. way of captur ing honor this summer for she has style and speed though untried and without official record. "Kinney X" n two-year-old by Exarious and Amy McKinney, a dark bay gelding, with a fine chest and ' good logs, high withers and easy action, will be one j 200 Acre Farm For Sale 70 acres in crop; 130 acres in pasture some of which is ideal orchard land.

Price: $8,500, one-half cash, balance on easy terms. Ad dress, T. F. ORGAN, ; Cove, Oregon. Crop rocs with farm if sold before harvest. of the surprises of the year for un initiated trotters it is believed, V In speaking of racing conditions at the track Mr. Childers . and Mr. Johnston had some complaint to offer relating to the playing of baseball in the afternoon) which greatly interferes with exercising animals'. , Young horses cannot be made to pass the home plate which is almost on the track. This he says is keeping a string of Baker horses from coming to the grounds for practice. Asked whether he had any authoritative in formation to that effect, he said that both Todd and Wilburn had written him to that effect and' would come in a minute if this condition were re moved. Rolling the track portion of the diamond has made that part of the track exceedingly hard and coupled with the interference with the after noon training forms a serious handi cap to men who are spending their money for training purposes he affirms.

ROBERTSON Member Junior Board, In beginning a venture, the first thing to do to linsure its success is to have it and its purpose understood by all who are, or might be, inter ested. Therefore this word of expla nation ' in reference to the report which follows, and the articles which, we expect, will fill this column from time to time. First: The fact we desire you to understand is, that the Y. M. C. A. is your Y. M. C. A., and that you are welcome and urged to use it. Second: That it is our Y. M. C. A., and belongs to all of us, and that we, you and I and our friends and our friend's friends and the stranger with in our gates, are all welcome and urg ed to use it to its' capacity at all times, for the good and upbuilding of our community morally, mentally and physically. Third: That the Y. M. C. A., build ing, within itself, is an empty struc ture fit only to adorn the landscape, unless it be used by all of us to furth. er the good work for which the Young Mens Christian Association stands the world over, and it is to pre pare as much as possible for this purposo that the "Junior Board" of the La Grande Railroad Y. M. C. A., i.i organized. In the fall of 1013, shortly after the campaign to raise funds for the La Grande Y. M. C. A., which cam paign ended so successfully, the "Jun ior Board" was organized and consists of a number of young men endeavor ing, by correspondence with success ful Y. M. C. A.'s throughout the country, by studying ways and means and local conditions, and by meeting together and discussing the problems mat conirom; tne i . m. u. a. s in similar localities, to educate them selves so that they, when our build ing is opened next fall, will be pre pared to some extent, to handle the volunteer work of our own Y. M. C. A.. To better aid the "Junior Board" in petting nt tthe different phases of the work and assist in corresponding and getting information upon these different phases and subjects, the board was divided into committees, two of which committees were to make n report each Week, at the regular weekly meeting, unon the subject as signed to thorn, these reports to be formed from the information gleaned upon the subject. In this manner we learn the things at which other Y. M. C. A.'s are making a success, and the things in which they are not success ful; thus we are prepared, in a mea sure, to profit by the experience of others, in the maneuvering of affairs within our own Y. M. C. A. building when it is opened for actual use. This column will be used for a gen eral Y. M. C. A., news report, and we hope to print articles that will be of interest and information to all.

Heliman of 222 Ains worth street, Portland, Ore. was a vic tim of disorders of the stomach and digestive processes. Her trouble af fected her general health and made her unhappy. She took Mayr's Wonderful Stom ach Remedy and soon was recom mending it to all of her suffering friends. In a letter sending for more she wrote: . r ': . ' "About eight months ago I sent to you for a bottle of your wonderful stomach medicine, and after taking it sent for three bottles more, which I have taken with the best of results. I am beginning now to feel like a dif ferent person. I have been telling my friends about your wonderful med icine. I thank you for the good your medicine has done for me."

Shortly after the tight at Jena Id 1806 Napoleon dispatched an officer to Marshal Mortier requiring him to seize certain important- towns without de lay. When the officer arrived at the moutb of tbe Elbe, where the river Is seven and one-half miles wide, be was threatened witb serious loss of time. Tbe river was Just covered with Ice; therefore to row over was out of th question. He could not cross by the nearest bridge without going twenty miles out of bis way ou roads heavy with snow. So be resolved to skate across tbe thin, freshly formed Ice. Had be tried walking be would bave sunk nt once, but by skimming along on bis skates at the top of bis speed be got over the river botb dry and un harmed. By this daring deed be saved six hours, did what Napoleon bade him do aud won great credit for bis bold and clever exploit 1 Why Not? Among the mountaineers of Carolina there is a strong feeling of resentment toward anything that savors of charity. In Illustration of their independence Miss Margaret W. Morley tells this story In "The Carolinu Mountains:" A stranger fed a mountain woman, who, having come to town to "trade," stopped at tbe door, tired and hungry, to sell ber butter. Tbe next day the woman came back with a chicken. "Why, no." said the lady, "I cannot take your chicken. 1 gave you tbe din ner." "Soy you did?" "Yes." "Say you gave me tbe dinner?" "Yes." "Well, tf you can give me a dinner, why can't I give you a chicken?" NNUAL STATEMENT OF CLASSIFIED D1RECT0H1 FKATEKAAL OKUEKS. A. F. & A. M. La Grande Lodge No. . 41, A. F. & A.
