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

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.

THE .
Y. M. C. A.
Its Possibilities
Edited by '
' J. L. 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.

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

my friends about your wonderful med

medicine has done for me."

A Daring Skater.
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?"
