Benson shut down his logging camp at Bunker Hill, three weeks ago. Now he is ready to start up the camp again as soon as he can get a crew together. He had a number of men work ing In his camp who have been in his employ for 12 years, and have several thousand dollars in the bank, and when work stopped a lot of them started for the Buffalo Exposition. They will all be back soon and will be pleased to find the camp running again. The reason why Mr. Benson is able to start up this camp is that he can find a market for his logs, as he can supply the lengths desired to fill any order the mill men may have on hand. There are plenty of logs in the Coweman, say 15, 000,000 feet, which have been out foi three or four months, and there are all lengths among them, but in such a mass of logs it is impossible to select the lengths wanted, and a mill man has to buy a big raft in order to get the lengths he wants. In the three miles of tide water on the Coweman are some 5,000,000 feet of logs closely jammed together, and lying along the stream above are some 12,000,000 feet more. These are cut by some eight or 10 loggers, and are marked with as many different brands. When a raft of logs is brought there it is Impracticable to select any certain lengths desired, the logs are taken as them come, and the brands are noted and the owners credited accordingly. If a mill man wants a number of logs of a certain length, he might have to buy half a mile of these logs to get what he wanted. Mr. Benson can take an order for any number of logs of any length and have them cut at once and this has enabled him to start up his Bunker Hill camp again.

Meier & F. HORSE SHOW WEEK OPENS A PROGRAMME OF INTERESTING EVENTS ON MULTNOMAH FIELD, Public Pleased "With an Exciting Series ofRidins Events The Prlze-Winners. The opening night at the Carnival horse show drew the largest crowd that has yet attended the exposition. The entertain ment provided pleased the spectators and J held them on the grandstand until the last contest was aeciaea, aespue me splendid programme on the inside of the building. The DeCaprio band presented a pro gramme made up of selections from the "Wagnerian operas, and the difficult music found excellent treatment in the capable musicians that compose the organization. In addition, the usual vaudeville features were presented. But the horse show was tho thing, and but a small part of the large crowd remained indoors during the performances on the field. The feature of the evening's programme that appealed most strongly to the people was undoubtedly the hurdling. To see a spirited thoroughbred canter up to a too F. R. Johnson. ---. -- four-foot fence and clear it in a clean leap is an inspiring sight that seldom fails to awaken enthusiasm In the onlook ers. There was plenty of excitement, and In one or two instances it took nimble wit and quick action on the part of the riders to prevent serious accidents. In the Individual hurdle event C. L. Gil Hland's mount took the three fences with out touching, and made a splendid show ing. Unfortunately, one of the reins broke after the last Jump, and the rider was thrown to the ground and dragged a dis tance of 10 feet or more. Mr. Gilliland succeeded in keeping away from the horse's feet, and was not hurt when-the animal was brought to a standstill. New reins were substituted, and he returned over the hurdles in clean jumps, winning first honors. Latta's mount showed a dis position to do anything but the right thing, and refused to take the hurdles until several t:ials had been allowed. The first event on the programme was tandem riding, under the direction of Cap tain NIcol, and the following partici pated: John T.nftn A A.T Prnnh t it Jenkins, E. T. Chase, C. L,. Gilliland, T.' a. otrain, . j. Patterson and F. O. Down, ing. No prizes were offered for this feat ure, it being an exhibition ride, com posed of interesting and intricate evolu tions. The rideis and horses worked well together, and went through the difficult maneuvers in a manner that evoked con siderable enthusiasm among the spec tators. The riders were applauded as each movement was completed. The following riders were entered in the hurdling events: John Latta, A. M. Cro nln, F. Harridan, W. McCommon, F. J. Patterson, E. B.-Sterling, A. M. Moltzen, C. L. Gilliland, E. T. Chase, W Miller, E. Beeks, M. Schultz and R. Ferguson. In the individual event the horses were sent over the three hurdles and return, and the sport was interesting through out and in many places exciting. Several of the horses were difficult to handle, and could not be coaxed or driven to take the jumps. The judges allowed each man two trials at the first hurdle .ind If "ho nnnM I not then get his mount over he was sent I back and declared out of the contest i fPVifl -i,.3A f ..." juufec3 were unanimous in awarding the first prize to Mr. Gilliland and the second honor went to M. Schultz. In the hurdling by pairs more horses were sent over the timbers, and a good showing was made. Messrs. Cronin and Latta were given the purple ribbons rep resenting first honors, and the second prize went, to Messrs. Sterling and Har ridan. Some surprise was expressed re garding the action of the judges in award ing the first prize to Mr. Ltta, as his horse absolutely refused to take one of the hurdles, and jumped but two out of the three. In justice to the gentlemen who officiated. It should be stated that according to the rules pairs could not be split, and the excellent work done by Mr. Cronin's horse, which was far and away the best-handled animal in the event, carried victory to its rider and his team mate. Mr. Latta was surprised himself when Informed that he had won, but there was no other decision possi ble under the circumstances. The potato race, in which the same men were entered as fh the foregoing contest, while a test of skill in horse manship, had an humorous element that pleased thexirowd. Five palls were placed around the field. Each rider carried five potatoes when he left the starting point,, and the man who succeeed in dropping or throwing the largest number into the pails won out This was no easy feat with a horse going at a gallop and the contestants realized the difficulty of get ting more than one potato, or two at the outside, within the pall. Mr. Gilliland won first prize in this event and Mr. Har ridan second. In the tilting contest R. Ferguson car ried off both first and second honors. He was the only one of the entries to cap ture both rings, and as there were sev eral who got one each, the judges de cided that Mr. Ferguson was entitled to both prizes. The judges of the foregoing contests were E. M. O'Brien, .W. Ix Archambeau and J. Creagh. The following were field officials and have - charge of the horse show features: L. H. Adams, secretary and manager; John t Vince, W. F. Wat son and F. O. Downing. The success of the horse show, judging frcm last night's attendance and the en thusiasm of the spectators, has proven a popular innovation on the part of the Exposition officials. In the big cities of the East the annual horse show Is one of the events of the year, and has proven more than ordinarily successful. The programme for tonight will contain sev eral interesting features that will appeal to lovers of Tiorses, and every night of the show will present some attractions that will be well worth the seeing. Hermann, "the dare-devil bicycle rider," as he is styled on the bills, made his perilous ride between events on the field and was applauded by the thousands who witnessed it. Following is the programme for the horse show tonight: Event 1. Best single horse in harness, driven by SB??'? -a owner; horse alone to count. First prize, $15; second, $10, and third, .$5.

This Is one of the most thrilling and realistic per formances ever offered to an appreciative public. The cowboys are from the "wild and woolly West," and are superb speci mens of their class. They will appear in the nerve-exciting race for the woman of their choice with revolvers brandishing in the air and blood in their eyes. Another feature of the programme io the "Pick-Up Act," in which the competi tors will be John N. Grant. Jess Perkins, Bill Young and Broncho Charlie. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Thomas Q,. Seabrooke.

The sale of seats opened ythis morning to a long line of purchasers. Saturday, Mr. Seabrooke will give a mati nee at 2:15 o'clock, and close his engage ment with the. evening performance. This well-known comic opera comedian, who will be remembered as the funny hero of "The Isle of Champagne," will be seen in straight comedy part for the first time In many years. "A Modern Crusoe," a comic romantic play by Sydney Rosen feld, Is the bait that has tempted Mr. Seabrooke to forsake the paths of comic opera for the legitimate.

Tlvoll Opera Company will com mence a return engagement at Cordray's theater on next Sunday evening, and during their stay will present a magnifi cent production of the musical extrava ganza, "The Babes in the Woods." This will be the first time that the Portland public has had an opportunity of seeing this popular burletta. The piece was written by Ferris Hart man himself to suit the requirements of this company. It had a great success in San Francisco, where it was played at the Tivoli Opera House for six weeks. Two very funny parts are those enacted by Annie Myers and Edward Webb.

During the long run of this big production in New York and Chicago, the magnitude of the scenic environment was more fre quently commented upon than any other feature, yet the press of both cities, was unanimous In pronouncing the play itself a superior article of melodrama. The spirited boxing bout and exciting race course scene are two of the chief features of the piece, and the first, at least, is an Innovation. To the uninitiated, the in terior of a boxing club during the pro gress of a glove contest, with all its attendant features, will come as a genu ine surprise, and the manner in which those affairs are cpnducted i3 strictly followed out in the mimic bout in "Sport ing Life," "Tne Honolulu Coon.
