Juarez. Mexico. Nov. 29. (United
Press) There is at least one Amer
ican institution, -which in spite of
I bandits, defacto governments pnd dis
putes regarding tne status 01 uen.
Purshinff's nunitive force, will flourish
th same as usual in Mexico this win-
tor Rpcrinnincr with tomorrow, the !
Juarez Jockey club, backed by Amer- j
ican capital, will open its annual 1U0
or more days of racing. To place the
sport of horse racing on a more firm
footing ana to eliminate tne ganger 01 ,
n hnH renutation through the wron-r
sort of gambling on the races, books j
will be replaced at this meet by pan- i
mutuel machines. Race track follow
ers believe the "iron men" are the
best bookmakers to be obtained and
expect the machines to do much to
ward boosting the Juarez stock.
(Juarez, the quaint old city across the
Rio Grande from fcl raso, nas
changed governments many times
since the track was opened, but every
year has found the Jockey club pur
suing its business, resrardless of ma
chine guns, riflles and cannon.

I track, anticipate a big boom at the
local coarse since it has been de
termined to put in pari-mutuels in
stead of the bookmakers. More than
200 . horses have been shipped here
from the Northern tracks. Juarez is
hirl to have lost monev at its last!
I winter meeting, but this is not pre-
steeds here for this winter's affair.
Three Districts Outside of Towns
Raise $93,000 by Taxes
Astoria, Or., Nov. 29. (Special)
Clatsop County plans to prosecute its
road improvement work during the
coming Summer even more strenuous
ly than before. The three road dis
tricts embracing the territory lying
outside the incorporated cities and
towns have levied special taxes that
will raise $93,000 for road improve
ment projects, and the County Court
will undoubtedly appropriate a liberal
sum out of the general fund for the
repair and construction of bridges, as
well as to assist in the highway ex
tensions. Astoria will raise $21,000, and Sea
side, Hammond and Warrenton will
raise about $2500 each by special tax
ation to be used in bettering the coun
ty roads.

DEATH CLAIMS

Wife of Pioneer Citizen Victim of i
Complication of Diseases Kuneral j
IXiitc Uncertain Relatives Coming
to Kuneral. j
Mrs. Joseph Palmer, esteemed wife
ul Joseph Palmer, one of the earliest I
living settlers of Union county, died ,
this morning at eight o'clock ufter n
short illness commencing last Sat-1
urdny. A complication of weakness
of the heart and pneumonia were re- j
iiponsilile. Relatives of the deceased j
and of her husband are on their way ,
to La Grande but some little uncer
tainty prevails concerning the funeral.
A nephew, Isaac Hoops of Bremerton,
Washington, will arrive tomorrow but
other blood relatives have not been
heard from. A brother lives in Iowa,
ar.d a sister in Pennsylvania. There
are no children. Mrs. Palmer camel
to La Grande in 1S96", Mr. Palmer
having gone to Pennsylvania to mar
ry her that year. Mr. Palmer had
already lived in La Grande close to n
quarter century at that time, he hav
ing first set foot in this community
in 1HC4.
The deceased was born September
4th, 1855. She was, therefore CI
years of age.
A host of friends grieve her un
timely death. She was nn ardent
worker in church circles, affiliated
with the Methodist church, and always
an nlturistic person who looked contin
uously to the welfare of others before
herself. The grieving liusband's rela
tives at Baker, and the many near
telatives in La Grande, constitute a
big family circle who will participate
in their Thanksgiving dinners tomor
row with heavy hearts.

slipped and thrust his r.rm against the
fastly revolving saw.

CITY REGISTRATION CON
FUSING Voters seem to have trouble
digesting requirements -of reg
istration for the city election.
(Briefly stated it is required
that every citizen bo registered
for the city election regardless
of the county election registra
tion. Ono has no connection
with the other. There are four
city election wards and 13 in the
city from the . standpoint of
county precincts. Once .regis
tered in a city ward, re-registration
is unnecessary unless
the elector moves to another
precinct This is all that is re
quired: If you voted at the last
city election and haven't moved
your residence since, you don't
need to reigistcr this fall.
