THE MO-RNTVO npFOOxv TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1901. WON BY HIS EMINENCE t SON OP FALSETTO CAPTURED THE KEXTDGKY DERBY. Sannozzarro "Was Second, Driscoll Third Result on Other Tracks Scores of the Two Lengnca. LOUISVILLE, April 29. The twenty seventh Kentucky Derby has passed Into history and not one of the 25,000 persons who eaw It can say anything except that It was a. race from the drop of the flag until His Eminence, the son of Falsetto, passed tinder the wire a winner In the good time of 2:07. The track was fast. In the betting ring there was a jostling, surging crowd and the 18 books did a rushing business. Alard Scheck, by his work-out Friday, was favorite and when the odds of 7 to 20 were first chalked up, money came in at such a. lively rate that the books could not handle It. But It Is doubtful if all the books quit winner on the race, for loads of money went on His Eminence at 5 to 2. The contingent from the Blue Grass section of the State came down prepared to back Sannazzarro and they put up their money in goodly quantities. On the second attempt the horses got away on even terms. Down the stretch they came toward the grandstand, and a length did not separate the five colts, with His Eminence in front, Driscoll sec ond, Alard Scheck third, Sannazzarro fourth and Amur last. When they straightened out on the back stretch, Winkfield was hugging the rail, still a length in the lead, Alard Scheck had moved up to second place and was a half length in the front of Amur, who was about the same distance from Sannazzar ro and Driscoll, who were moving down the back stretch on even terms. As thej reached the three-quarters pole, Jockey Woods loosened hie rein and called on the Schorr entry to overtake His Eminence, but the Memphis horse was not equal to it. for little by little he fell back. As they entered the stretch, Sannazzarro had moved up into second place, followed ty Driscoll, and Alard Scheck was left to fight it out with Amur. "His Emi nence!" was the joyous shout that went up from thousands when the Falsetto colt reached the seven-eighths pole, run ning with long, even strides. Sannaz zarro made one final effort, but it was of no avail, for His Eminence was under the wire a length to the good, with San nazzarro half a length in front of Drls csll, Amur fourth and a length away, with Alard Scheck, the iavorite, last "by three lengths.

LOUISVILLE. April 29. Matty Mat thews,, of Brooklyn, got the decision to night In a 20-round contest for the welter weight championship of the world over Tom Couhlg, of Dunkirk, N. Y. Couhlg had all the better of the- fight up to the eighth round, but in the ninth Matthews landed a couple of stiff punches on Cou hig's "'nose, hreaklng it. Matthews con tinued playing for Couhlg's broken nose, and in the 18th round landed a hard one on Couhig's left eye, cutting It badly. xne fight -was given to Matthews in the 20th round, but the decision was unfa vorably received "by the crowd. The bout took place, under the ausnlces of the new Monarch Athletic Club. Jack McClelland, of Pittsburg, was knocked out in the 20th round tonight by Dave Sullivan, of Brooklyn. This con- test was before the Southern Athletic Club. Three thousand persons saw the fight. The men weighed 126 pounds at 3 o'clock this afternoon. When McClel land got the knock-out, nine out of ten in the house thought Sullivan did not have steam enough left to knock out a child. He was, however, playing his usual wait ing game, and when the opening came, Sullivan sent his opponent down for eight seconds with a left ana right upper cut. He repeated the dose when McClelland got up, and the latter went down for keeps. Before the fight It was announced that one month from tonight Terry McGovern would meet the winner before the South ern Athletic Club. A challenge to meet the winner was also announced from Clarence Ritchie, of San Francisco. Harry Corbctt "Will Referee. SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.

LONDON, April 29. The Coroner's jury which has been investigating the death of Billy Smith, the pugilist, who was fatally injured April 22, at the National Sporting Club, in a bout with Jack Roberts, today rendered a verdict of accidental death. The Coroner closely examined the club officials and some disinterested spectators of the contest. The hospital surgeon who attended Smith said that the appearance of the pupils of the latter's eyes dis proved the story that he had been drugged. All the testimony elicited tend ed to establish the fact that the pugilist was not drugged. Out of the 250 bouts which have taken place at the National Sporting Club this year, this Is the first in which any of the contestants has sus tained serious injury. Shamrock Not Injured. GLASGOW, April 29. It transpired that the Shamrock II grounded on a mud bank near Dumbarton while proceeding south ward on Saturday. Her crew was trans ferred to a tug and thus lightened the yacht floated after having been ashore three-quarters of an hour. It Is said she Is not Injured. SOUTHAMPTON. April 29. The Sham rock II has arrived here. Suggestion to Fair Committee. PORTLAND, April 29. (To the Editor.) In the Interest of Portland's amateur photographers, I suggest that In the street fair 'this year there be an exhibition of amateur photographs. It would stimulate our amateurs to greater efforts, and, be sides, -would be an attractive display. A slight entrance fee might be charged, and the proceeds used to purchase prizes and pay for an exhibition room, or it might be wise to charge no fee. and award no prizes. I am sure many amateurs would be glad of such a chance to com pare work. At any rate, I hope my sug gestion will be considered. A. A. New Overland Ticket Office. For all points East Lowest rates.

SUBJECT TO TAXATION SUPREME COURT DECISION IN STOCK MARKET "CALL" CASE. The President, Before He Left Wash ington, Signed a Large Num ber of Appointments. WASHINGTON. April 29. After an nouncing1 various opinions and hearing a number of motions today, the United States Supreme Court took an adjourn ment until Monday, the 13th prox. The meeting then will be only for the an nouncement of opinions. The court decided In the case brought by ex-Congressman Stephen V. White, of Brooklyn, that a "call" as the word Is used In the Stock Exchange, Is an agree ment to sell, and therefore subject to tax ation at the rate of 2 cents per $100 un der the war revenue law. The opinion was handed down by Justice Brewer, who, defining a call, said: "Calls are not distributed as mere ad vertisements of what the owner of the property described therein Is willing to do. They are held, and In parting with them the vendor receives what to him Is satisfactory consideration. Having parted for value received with that promise, It Is a contract binding on him, and such a contract Is neither more nor less than an agreement to sell and deliver at the time named the property described In the ln srument. On the face of this Instrument there is an absolute promise to sell. Therefore, it comes within the letter of the statute.' The court reported to the docket for re hearing the case of the Treadwell Mining Company, of Alaska, Involving the right of the Government to collect a tax upon the company's stamp mills and mercan tile establishment. The order was made because the Government had not been represented when the case was presented last week. County Attorney Fulton, of King Counts', Washington, moved either to dis miss or affirm judgment In the case of Charles W. Nordstrom, who is under sen tence of death, and appealed to the Su preme Court. The motion was opposed by ex-Congressman J. Hamilton Lewis. The case Is a celebrated one. In has been In this court on three different occasions, and the first judgment against Nordstrum has been held for nine years. The court took the case under advisement. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. List of Military Appointments and Civil Nominations. WASHINGTON. April 29.

Commissions have been made out for James A. Allen, Enoch Crowder and Rob ert L. Hughes In case vacancies occur In the list of volunteer Brigadier-Generals while the President is away. In the Army appointments announced today Enoch H. Crowder Is made a Brigadier-General and also a Lieutenant-Colonel. He secured the latter promotion by the retirement of Generals Lleber, Barr and Clous. The appointment as Brigadier-General of Volunteers Is a compli ment given him for services In the Phil ippines, a position he will hold until July L Colonel Crowder has been longer In the Philippines than any other officer of prominence. Major Stephen W. Groesbeck, whose name does not appear in the list made public today, will be promoted to. be Lieutenant-Colonel. The question whether the detail of Colonel Jarvls to be Judge Advocate-General under the reorganization creates a vacancy is yet undecided. Of the other Brigadier-Generals of Volunteers an nounced today General Bliss Is of the Commissary Department, and has been Collector at Havana since the occupation by the United States. General Allen, of the Signal Corps, has a record for good work during the Span ish War, and since has been In the Phil ippines. General Ballance Is a Major In the Adjutant-General's Department at Manila, and General Howze is Lieutenant-Colonel of the Thirty-fourth Volun teer Infantry. Bids for Oakland Postofllce. WASHINGTON, April 29. Bids were opened today for the construction (ex cept heating apparatus and electric wir ing) of the postofllce building at Oakland, Cal. There were seven bids, of which that of A. E. Barrett, of San Francisco, $153,800, was the lowest. Prominence In Bridge-Building. Engineering Magazine. Americans are 20 years In advance of other nations (except Canada) In the art of bridge design and construction. The steel of which a bridge Is made represents about half Its cost. Steel Is now made In the United States at much less cost than in any other country. In Britain, labor is so much hampered by trades unionism that it is admitted by one of the leaders that the cost of labor in mak ing steel In the United States Is not one half of what It is in Britain. This can be said also of the labor employed In man ufacturing. The market for bridges Is far greater In the United States than elsewhere. The States have now 190,000 miles of railways, and It has been estimated that there Is an average of one span of metallic bridges for every three miles of railway. This gives 63,000 bridges on existing lines, with out Including those required for new lines. The Increase In the United States of the weight of cars and engines has resulted In wonderful economic changes. The av erage rate of freights on American rail ways was In 1S67 a little over $5 per ton. Now it averages 95 cents. Any one can figure the saving on 976.000,000 tons of freight moved In 1900. These larger cars carry double the paying load of the old ones that they have superseded, and more powerful engines draw more cars In a train. This Increase, of weight of rplllng stock has led to the 'renewal of the 63,000 old bridges by stronger and heavier ones. This demand has brought into existence many bridge-building companies, and they can well afford to equip themselves with the best labor-saving and accurate working machinery, regardless of first cost, as thev know it would seldom If ever He Idles European bridge-builders are not In thfs position. Trains have not increased in weight as they have in America. The old bridges answer their purpose, and the demand has been chiefly confined to new ones. Brldge-bulldlng is merely an adjunct to other business, and possibly the owners are wise In not In vesting much capital In special tools. WILL NOT COME FOR YEARS Establishment of Forest Reserve In Eastern Oregon. WASHINGTON, April 25. After getting the views of the Secretary of the In terior, the Commissioner of the Land Office, the Chief of the Forestry Division In the Agricultural Department, and the Chief of the Forestry Division of the Geo logical Survey, The Oregonlan correspond ent thinks It safe to say that Eastern Ore gon will have no forest reserve for many years to come, and there Is a strong prob ability that no reserve whatever will be established In that section. However, there Is a possibility that some such action may be taken at a distant day. There has been more or less agitation In favor of 'the creation of 'such a reserve, but, strange to say. the chief agitator is an Idaho man, E. H. Llbby, president of the Lewlston Water & Power Company. For some time Mr. Libby has been cor responding with different officials here In regard to the creation of a reserve In thf Blue Mountain country. It Is his Idea that a reserve Is essential In these moun tains, in order to protect the timber and water supply of Union, Umatilla and Wal lowa Counties, Oregon, and Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield and Asotin Counties, Washington. Although considerable correspondence has been had on the subject, the depart ments have been unable to get Mr. Libby definitely to outline the reserve which he and his associates think should be cre ated. He has roughly stated, however. that after considering the question In all Its phases, he thinks all of this mountain region above an altitude of 4000 feet should be withdrawn from entry and con verted Into a forest reserve. He says most of the land In the counties named lying below this level, while for the most part unsurveyed land, has been settled upon, and the settlers would strenudusly object to having their lands converted In to a forest reservation. However, he believes If the crest of the mountains Is protected against timber-cutting. It will afford ample protection to the water sup ply of Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon. In past seasons the Geological Survey has made more or less extensive exami nations of the Blue Mountains, in both Oregon and Washington. As a result of those examinations, Mr. Gannett, the for ester, states that the creation of a for est reserve In that section might be a good thing, as It would afford a protection to both the trees and the water that cannot be had if tho high lands fall Into the hands of private owners. The protec tion of the water supply n Eastern Ore gon Is considered an Important question, as many of tho smaller Btreams of that vicinity dry up every Summer, and the larger ones are reported to be getting lower and lower each season. It is true that timber-cutting in the Blue Mountain country has not been extensive up to this time, but there seems to be some an ticipation that it may get a start and progress so rapidly as materially to re duce the water supply in a few seasons. Mr. Llbby, in his correspondence, ex presses anxiety as to the waters of the Grand Ronde River, George Creek, Alpo wa, Tucannon, Touchet and Walla Walla Rivers. While he has not been able to make an extended examination of the en tire Blue Mountains, he says the timber, particularly In Southeastern Washington, Is much scattered, and the settlers are cutting It off rapidly, although the soil Is of little value, except for hay. Other areas, he reports, have been burned off. He goes on to state., that .under present conditions, sheep are grazing in "theso mountains, destroying the grass and un derbrush, and in consequence affecting the water supply. The department admits that these, assertions' are at least in part correct. Summed up, however. It may be said that there is absolutely no evidence in any of the departments at this time to indicate that a forest reserve will be cre ated In Eastern Oregon and Washington. There Is admittedly some demand for one, but the departments lack that certain definite and detailed information which would justify them in creating a Blue Mountain Reserve. Primarily, all forest reserve matters are in the hands of the Secretary of the Interior, and, as previous ly stated, he is much averse to rushing In and creating any new reserves without a thorough examination and report. This same spirit of caution seems to be spread ing among the other bureaus, for tho for est reserve question, through its bungle some management In the past, has become' a great eyesore and source of almost uni versal annoyance. Consequently, there is a uniform desire just now to proceed with caution In the matter of new re serves. It may be stated positively that the department will never create a re serve In the Blue Mountains on the lines suggested by Mr. Llbby. His main idea may be all right, but It does not meet with the approval of those authorities who have any knowledge of that country. Moreover, from correspondence with this gentleman, It appears that his main Inter est lies In that section of the Blue Moun tains lying In Washington. His concern as to the Oregon forests and water supply is not so great, nor is his knowledge so extended. If the people of Eastern Oregon desire the establishment of a forest reserve in the Blue Mountains, their course would be to petition for its establishment, ad dressing the Secretary of the Interior. It Is understood that Mr. Llbby is now cir culating among the citizens of Asotin, Garfield, Columbia and Walla Walla Cqun tles, Washington, petitions asking for the creation of a reserve In that state, but further than that, his efforts do not at this time extend. The department here would much rather take up the matter of the creation of a reserve at the Instiga tion of the settlers than to undertake he proposition of its own accord. It would like to have the assurance that tho people themselves want such a reserve, and believe Its creation would be in their Interest, rather than be a hardship to them. And In all probability, unless tho settlers of "Eastern Oregon do ask for such a reserve, none will be established. It Is true that there are now many mines In the Blue Mountains, and that their number Is constantly Increasing. As far as they are concerned, a reserve would make no difference one way or the other. Mining Is not restricted In forest reserves. As far as grazing and timber cutting Is concerned, however, the reserve would be a most Important factor. There Is little doubt that If the idea of the Secretary of the Interior regarding the control of the reserves Is carried out, and the matter of timber-cutting Is placed unde'r the Agricultural Depart ment, that the timber of the Blue Moun tains would be more judiciously handled In a forest reserve than It could be other wise. However, this is a remote ques tion. The departments now have on hand. In pending forest reserve questions, both as to reductions, enlargements and tho proposed creation of new reserves, suffi cient matter to occupy their attention for several years, before the question of a Blue Mountain reserve would ordinarily be peached, without there was especial pressure in Its favor from the people, and, under existing conditions, no step In this direction will be taken for many years to come.

No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Tri fling Expense A Simple, Harm less Remedy But It Does the Work. There are some people who have piles as regularly and frequently as other peo ple have colds. Any little bowel trouble will bring them on, any extra exertion, as In lifting, will produce them, and In fact will often appear without any ap parent provocation. Piles, however, is much more serious than a cold, as the tendency Is always to grow worse until the trouble becomes deen-fieated and chronic, or develops Into some fatal rec tal disease. While there are many pile remedies which give relief, yet there Is but one which not only gives Instant relief but at the same time makes a permanent cure, and that Is the well-known Pyramid Pile Cure. This remedy Is composed of simple, harmless vegetable Ingredients, but com bine so effectively and act so promptly and thoroughly that It cures every form of piles whether Itching, blind, bleeding or protruding. In long standing cases the Pyramid Pile Cure has proven to be the only certain cure except a surgical oper ation, and Its advantages over an opera, tlon are many, as It Is painless, causes no delay or Interference with daily occu pation and, lost but not least, Is cheaper than any surgical operation could possi bly be, costing 50 cents a package at any drug store. The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure will not reach are so few that physicians are doing away with opera tions .for piles and depending on this cheap but effective remedy to accomplish a complete cure, and It never disappoints except In cases beyond the reach of med ical skill. The Pyramid Pile Cure Is pre pared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of Mar shall, Mich., and for sale by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package. Each package contains a treatise on cause and cure of piles, together with testimonials from every section of this country. the sun shone gloriously.

Difficult Road Surveying Coun terfeit Dies Discovered. TERRY, Or.. April 29. Deputy County Surveyor Lewis and four assistants have been engaged for about ten days In sur veying a new road of about half a mile in length between the Section Line and Rev. J. H. Wood's place. It looks like a lot of work for a short road, but the time was mostly consumed In trying to locate a starting point. It was necessary to survey about ten miles of old donation claim boundary lines and some of the oldest settlers were called upon to show the surveyors where "corners" and wit ness trees were supposed to have been located years ago. The Emmett Kelly farm was surveyed In trying to find a starting, point, and a good board fence was found to be 16 feet away from the Hn& on one side. The surveyors remarked that It would cost nearly as much to survey that little piece of road as it would to Improve It afterward. Super visor Llttlepage will have a crew of men at work upon it In a short time, as It Is Intended principally for rural mall route No. 2. Double Anniversary.
