THE VALE HARDWARE COMPANY
Ontario, April 4: Ontario in the
near future will have a strong polo
team. Ten splendid polo horses have
been secured, one of which is valued
at $600, and ten sturdy Ontario men
are being given thorough instruction
in the game by Harry A. Chapman,
who handled polo horses thirty years
ago, and played this game in Austra
lia, England and America up to 20
years ago, since which time he has
devoted his attention to other pursuits.
The ten Ontario men who are being
intsructed in the polo game are Al
bert Chapman, Charles Chapman, Ed
gar Chapman, three sons of the in
structor; and Jack, Ricker, H. A. Mc
Robert, A. McWilliams, Jeff Billings-
by, H. B. Ball, John Brossman and
A. D. Huff.
These men have been under Mr.
Chapman s training during the past
two weeks, and it is expected to play
some games this year with the Boise
polo teams. The Ontario teams, four
men to a team, played their first
game last Sunday and made an excel
lent showing.
Most of the ten horses belonging to
the Ontario Polo Club were secured in
the Willow River district of Malheur
county near Brogan. They are a fine
bunch of horses, and are just the right
size, strength and speed for the game.
These horses are being kept in Fred
Stewart's livery and horse barn which
was built last year by T. H. Moore,
and is said to be one of the beat ar
ranged barns in the state, not even
excepting Portland.
Some interesting and exciting polo
match games may be expected to be
meen here before the present year
ends.

Ex-Judge George E. Davis of this

bench when Albert Green, Earl and
Emmett Shields, and Ben Hinton,
who with Joe Caseday, ex-deputy
sheriff of Grant, were implicated in
the murder of Ollie Snyder in Grant
County, and later convicted and sen
tenced, has written one of the strong
est letters to Governor West asking
for clemency in favor of those men.
Ex-Judge Davis does not recom
mend a parole or a pardon but desires
that the Shield brothers and Green be
given privileges of "honor" men. He
states that their families need their
support and he gives complete assur
ance to the Governor that he will
guarantee their good behavior.
The lambing season is on in the
Barren Valley country and prospects
are splendid for a big increase if the
weather keeps warm, according to a
statement made by Donald McLeod
who was in the city Wednesday after
supplies. Up to the first of the
month the sheep suffered some on ac
count of the poor range as the grass
had not come up as quick as in form
er years. However, the range is
now getting good and the sheepmen
are feeling good. Shearing in that
section will commence about the first
of May.
