y THE ! MQKNIW 'OBEGONIAN; FRIDAY, . JULY 271900. 5 OREGON BEATSTHE WORLD BEST RACEHORSES BRED AICD TRAINED IX LAKE COOKTY. The Pamon Al Farro-rr and His Brothers an3 Sister Remarlca'blo Record, of Superior 'Stock. LAKEVIEW. Or-, July 25. Among the disappointments caused by the Lakevlew Are was the abandonment of the annual races Riven under the auspices of tho Xake County Agricultural Association, on the Fourth of July. This year, the town being In ashes, and everybody trying to rebuild and re-establish business, it was decided to postpone the races. Many horses were In training, and the greatest races In the history of the coun ty were expected. M. T. Walters, the fa mous stockman and horsoracer, of Lake view, who raised and trained Al Farrow, the world-renowned racehorse, had trained Delia Connor, a full slater to Al Farrow, which was to enter the races for the first time, at the age of 4 years. J. G. Walters, son of the owner, left a few days ago for California with Delia Con nor, there to enter her In the races. There can hardy be a doubt of her success, if there Is anything in pedigree, good train ing, good points and the judgment of ex perienced horsemen. She and Al Farrow came from the best stock ever produced In this country- The sire was Connor, and Connor was sired by Norfolk. The dam of Al Farrow and Delia Connor was Delia Walker, from Jim Glenn. Jim Glenn was by Rifleman, and Rifleman was by the famous imported Glenco. Al Farrow's record is a m'ost wonderful one. At 2 years old, he was entered in six races, from one-half to- three-eighths of a mile. He won In five of these, jmd only lost the one by a half head. At 3 years old he ran In 24 races, and was in side the money 21 times. At the age of 4 years In the first race entered he made his mile in 1:40. lowering the Pacific Coast record, and he held this position for a long time. Mr. Walters then leased him, and short ly afterwards It was claimed that the man who had him leased "held him" in a race, and he was ruled off from running in the United States on this ground. It is urged that this was done through prejudice; that It had gone out over the country that Al Farrow was a California horse, his races having been won in California, and the correction having been made In the public press by Mr. Walters, through home pride, that Al Farrow was an Ore gon horse, the Callfornlans "Jobbed" him and had him ruled off. Notwithstanding, Mr. Walters sold him, -while he was la boring under this disadvantage, for the sum of $5000. Al Farrow was afterwards reinstated and ran at San Francisco, and, as usual, was always a winner. He was then taken East and ran In all of the cities from Chicago to New York, and won more races in a given length of time than any other horse In history. But his end as a racer came a few years ago in New York. While running In a race on frozen ground he fell and was so badly Injured that he lost his usefulness as a racer. He won a few minor races afterwards, but was .finally taken from the track. He Is now doing service en a stock farm in Illinois. The history of Al Farrow, of Klamath, the famous trotter, who was brought here when a colt and raised here; of Delia Walker, Oregon Eclipse and dozens of others show that Lake County is the most wonderful stock-raising country In the world. The high altitude, the pure air, the character of the grass, and Mr. Wal ters says, the very earth here, tends to their welfare. He says horses eat and drink more or less dirt. That the feet and legs absorb strength from the ground; that the horses here havo the best lungs, the best heart, the finestfeet and legs and the rarest Intelligence of any animals he has ever dealt with, and he Is of ripe age and has done nothing but deal In stock all of his life. And he says that brains and firmness and self possession are as essential on the part of a racehorse as they are on the part of the owner, and horses here possess these properties in a most remarkable degree. The longevity of General Crook, aged 32 years, probably the oldest horse In the world, owned .by Mr. Snider, at this place, and whose picture appeared in The Ore-gonlan- a few weeks ago, bears" out Mr. Walters' assertion. Dolla Walker, the dam of Al Farrow and Delia Connor, " was a most remark able animal- She foaled 11 colts, every one a racer of note, and he received more than -$11,000 from the sales of these colts. Among them were Al Farrow, Albatross, Alt us, -Vulcan. Joe Harvey,. Leora, Chris tine. Delia Connor, and a young 3-year-old stallion not yet trained; Leora broke the world ' record in a naif mile, and Mr. Walters was offered $7000 for her, but she became "winded," and had to wear a sil ver tube in her windpipe, so ho sold her for much less. He Is confident that but for th's accident she would have been the champion racer of the world. Ho says that Al rVirrow was not in it -with her. Al Farrow's namesake Is a grizzled old man, living at Paisley, In this county. He trained Delia Walker when Al Farorw was a colt, and Mr. Walters named the colt, which became the great racehorse, for this old Jockey. The retired Jockey never tires of talking about Al Farrow, the racehorse. Mr. Walters has lived in Lake County for more than 20 years. He has a large anl interesting family. His children, who are; all grown, are leaders in social and religious circles. At the back of ills par lor he has a large room to himself, where he spends most of his time. On the wall in front of his chair hangs a large oil painting of Al Farrow, and by his side is a large window, through which he looks out on his stables and training ground, and, though feeble in health, when one mentions racing and Al Farrow, his keen, dark eyes flash with all the vigor and in terest of the race course. POLITICS IX LEWIS COUNTY. Several Republican Candidate for Lesllative Nominations. CHEHALI5. Wash., July 26. The Re publican primaries will bs held on Satur day In' Lewis County, and there Is con siderable activity manifested among the various candidates, both for places on the county nnd the Legislative tickets. One State Senator and two members of the lower house will be nominated. E. P. Kingsbury, having been appointed Surveyor-General of the State of Wash ington, and who was a member of the lower house during the last session of the Legislature, will not be a candidate. Georgo McCoy, of Napavlne, tho lumber man, who was Mr. Kingsbury's colleague in the..lower house. Is a candidate for the State Senate. Winlock has a candidate In Mr. Veness, formerly a resident of Ore gon. He was a member of the Oregon Legislature four years ago, and two years later. It Is said, he was nominated there 'for the Legislature, but was not elected. He has since resided at Winlock, and In a recent Issue of the Chehalls Bee a note was printed indicating that Mr. Veness had joined the Mitchell faction In Oregon in fighting the ticket, and asking for an explanation. Nevertheless, the Veness men. particularly at Ccntralla, claim that they are In the lead, and will succeed In nominating their man. Some of them held that McCoy Is entitled to a nomina tion in the lower house, and can secure such a nomination for the asking, but do not admit that he will be able to secure a nomination for tho upper house. The question of forest reserves has also been brought Into the fight for the nomi nation on the Legislative ticket, and It has been 'quietly stated, probably to the Injury of Representative McCoy, that he has been instrumental in the policy pur sued by the Government In extending its reserves to tho Injury of settlers, nnd in jproviding that large tracts of lieu -lands may be .taken up, as & result of forest extensions, thus depriving many who have filed upon land from securing pos session, scrip, in many Instances, being used to contest the rights of settlers. Mr. McCoy is Forest 'Supervisor for the Mount Rainier reserve, and the law pro viding for the issue of scrip and for filing on lieu lands In Lewis and other counties of the state was passed by Congress a couplo of years ago, and neither Mr. Mc Coy, nor any other member of the Legis lature, or Forest Supervisor, had any right or authority to interfere. EDITOR'S BEAR HUNT. Rival Editor Dishes Up a Plain, Un biased Tnle. Grant's Pass Courier. Our friends who are rusticating at Steamboat are not altogether wlthodt ad venture. If reports are true. The rumor has reached this city that Editor Chausse, of the Observer, had a desper ate encounter with several bears. Ac cording to accounts, he met a flock of no less than five bears, one old one and four youthful Bruins, ambling along the public wagon-road, where they had no business to be. Mr. Chausse was armed only with a shotgun, but he. did notialijt nor falter. He quickly perceived that the proper course to pursue was to shoot tho old bear, -wound and enrage her, and ln velglo her into pursuing, him, and thus would ho lure her toward camp. Mean while he would climb a tree,. The plan was undoubtedly a good one. but failed on account of tho gross stupidity of the bear, who refused to carry out her part of the programme, as she refused to pur sue, though some lay ' tho blame on Mr, Chausse for not communicating his inten tions In a sufficiently intelligible manner. However, he climbed the tree anyway. The camp being alarmed, the artillery was ordered to the scene nnd a fusillade Was begun on the spot where the boars were last seen. After the din of battle died away and the smoke lifted, one .de funct cub was dimly perceived through the hazy atmosphere- The others had vanished. Perhaps they had suffered ut ter annihilation, but on that subject ru mor Is silent. THE ,FRASER-RIVER STRIKE. ! Union Men Still Hold Out May Still Be a FIjrht. VANCOUVER, B. C. July 28. The sit uation today In the fishermen's strike can bo summed up' from three brief state ments representing as many points of view. Lieutenant-Colonel Worsnop, com manding the militia, said: "Ono of two things will happen. Either matters win drift along for a week and part of the men will return to work while the others disband, and the trouble will bo over, or else there will be a fight, and If a blow Is struck there will be a dozen men killed." Speaking for the Canners Association, C. S. Windsor said: "We are willing to recognize the Fish ermen's Union, whose officials are bona fide fishermen, and to treat with them, but we will have nothing to say to the professional agitator." The position of the extremists among the strikers Is voiced by Vice-President Rogers, of the Fishermen's Union: "We have had great difficulty In re straining the Indians from an open out break. They are very restless and want by force to drive the Japanese off the river. We will work for 25 cents a flfeh or nothing." WOMAN MAILCARRIER KILLED. Her Team Ran Array nnd Her Neck Was Broken. ROSEBURG, July 26. Mrs. D. N. Fish, mallcarrlcr from Glendale to Starveout, was instantly killed near Glendale this morning.

NATIONAL GUARD REPORT WHAT ADJUTANT - GENERAL t BAYS OF OREGON AND WASHINGTON. Recommends Annual Encampment la Company With Retmlar Army Detachments. -WASHINGTON, July ZLr-Tho Adjutant General of the Army has Just prepared an elaborate report on the National Guardxf the "various states,, and in re viewing the Guard of Oregon shows It to consist of IC4 officers and 2000 men, divided between infantry, artillery, cav alry, "engineers, hospital, corps, signal corps and tho Naval Reserves. The Guard Is shown to be distributed over the state, with headquarters at Portland. In com menting further, the report makes the following statements: "There are some high-grade. officers In the Oregon National Guard, and the char acter of tho commissioned strength gen erally Is Improving." MfSst of the young officers ore earnest soldiers devoted' to tho profession and would do their best In any emergency, but need more thor ough instruction and practical experience In handling men under tho conditions of active service. There are many very In different officers, who will not study, and are Incompetent to Instruct their men, and who fail entirely to insist upon any discipline. .' Such discipline as exists in the rank and file Is due rather to the good sense of the material composing it than to any systematic effort to carry out the requirement of military regula tions and the articles of war. The sys tem of electing officers Is no doubt re sponsible for much, of this condition of affairs. Military etiquette and courtesies are fairly well observed in the First and Second Regiments. The material of which the enlisted strength Is composed Is very good, and with comnetent In structors would soon become efficient and reliable, but It seems impossible in some organizations to get officers competent to Instruct, and the men become dis heartened by the. Ignorance and Indiffer ence of thpir commissioned .officers. "The principal needs of the Oregon Na tional Guard are systematic administra tion, kindly but firm enforcement of dis cipline, more attention to full-ransre tar get practice and provision for yearly en campments; the present appropriations aro too meager to admit of more man bi ennial encampments. It would be a --rent advantaee If the examination qf ofilcera were more rigid, and none passed to cotn mlssion If not fully qualified as Instruct ors. It Is hoped that the next Legisla ture will provide .an appropriation suf ficient to admit of a brigade encamp ment. Isolated commands make but slow headwny In instruction unless they can be brought together for general Instruc tion and association at least once In each year. It would be of material benefit If regular troops and the National Guard could bo en camped together, the whole camp to be under the control of a competent regular Army officer. The data. In this' report are obtained from personal Inspection of each organization of the Oregon Na tional Guard nnd records In the Adjutant General's office '7n the lleht of experience In the re cent Spanlsji-Aitwricnn War. Portland was found the most suitable point for mobilization and concentration of vol unteer." The Wnnhlntrton Gnard. The snm renort tak-s uo and deals with the National Guard of Washing ton, which Is .shown to have n streneth of 1ST7 men; nnd Is scattered over the state as follows: "Eleven companies of Infantry: Com pany A.

"If volunteers ar .for service on the west coast of the United States. Alaska or the Philippine Islands, a point on American Lake. nar Tacoma. where the encampment of the National Guard of this stato was held In lc. Is, In my Judgment, the best for mobilization. Th cronnd sufflclontlv rolllri to afford jrood dralna"p and level enough to fur nish a splendid drill ground larce enough for the evolutions of two or three regi ments: sufficient timber for shelter and shade: abundance of water for domestic uses and' bathlmr.

Is located on the line of the Northern Pnclfle. a "ahd-trrant road which runs Into Tacoma. Supplies, forage and fuel easily obtaina ble and at reasonable prices. Facilities for transportation In almost every direc tion, both by water and roll, are good. Should the troops' be for service In the East, Spokane would be the best point. Camp could be made on the brinks of the Spokano River, . which furnishes an abundance of pure water for all purposes. Spokane has splendid railroad facilities, roads running In every direction, among them belric the Northern Pacific The jrroiind is gravelly, covered with a light Foil." What hns been said of Tacoma rel ative to supplies, etc, applies to Spo kane.' Orejcon City Notes. OREGON CITY, , July 26.
