OX-TEAM WON THE PRIZE
COMEDY ELEMENT AT LAST NIGHT'S
HORSE SHOW.
Captain Xicol's Horxes Win AU the
Honors in Tandem Team Event
Four-In-Hands.
Interest in the Carnival horse show is
Increasing daily and there was a large
crowd on Multnomah field last night Two
classes were judged and the cowboy
band and Mrs. Austin furnished plenty
of amusement with their daring rough
riding. The comedy element of the even
ing's programme was the "Ridiculous
Class." in which the best original make
up of horses, vehicles and drivers
counted. The first prize was awarded to
Emil Beck, of Big Sandy, and Ills team
of oxen, Tom and Dick. Just before the
winners were driven In front of the
grandstand to Teceive the purple ribbon,
denoting first honors. General Summers
and Captain E. S. Edwards got aboard,
and the general handled the reins with
a dash and daring that evoked much ad
miration. When the previous record of
the team Is taken Into consideration
a mile in three hours, 35 minutes it will
ibe seen that the general took a long
chance in piloting the fiery steeds around
the track.
Two classes were judged last night, one
for the best four-in-hand, and one for the
best tandem team. In the first named
event there were five entries, as follows:
.Anderson Bros., United Carriage Com
pany, two entries, Misner & Hayden and
James .NlcoL According to the rules, the
japearance and abilities of the horses were
to count 75 per cent, and the appoint
ments the remaining 25 per cent Beyond
idoubt the most admired vehicle was the
smart trap exhibited as one of the entries
of the United Carriage Company, but the
horses were not up to thB standard of
the prize-winners and the blue ribbon
went elsewhere. The winning teams were
jsplendld specimens of horseflesh spirited
land with the carriage and general be
liavior of unusually well bred animals.
The prizes "were distributed as follows:
First prize, $25 Misner & Sayden.
Second prize, 10 Anderson Bros.
Third prize, $5 United Carriage Com
pany. In the special class for the best tan
idem team there were five entries and Cap
Itain ICIcol's horses won all three of the
prizes. The ownership of the teams was
not laiown. to the judges and there can
be no charge of favoritism made, as the
owner did Jiot drive any of the teams.
The drivers of the winning teams were as
Jollows:
First prize. Miss Rockwell.
Second prize, George Seed.
Third prize, E. T. Strain.
The ridiculous class excited much mer
riment and considerable curiosity in that
the names of the different entries were
not published on the programmes. As
before stated, the ox team driven by
Emile Beck and General Summers won
the first prize. Other wagons had been
fantastically decorated, and the drivers
were masked or made up, but Beck needed
no flummery. The oxen were hitched with
home-made harness, "with hames of bent
tree limbs, and the other parts of scrap
leather, old belting and odds and ends
generally. Beck drove in from Big Sandy
yesterday, "but the oxen showed no signs
of fatigue and almost trotted while be
ing paraded around the track. The second
prize was won by A. McLeod, with his
burro Caesar, hitched to a sulkey.
Caesar, with the wisdom of his kind, al
ternately went along on a. rapid trot or
stopped absolutely stllL He is an intel
ligent little beast with a habit of letting
Ills rear legs out without the slightest
provocation and with Jess warning. Third
honors were awarded Jib R. F. Love, -who
drove a blind horse of 29 year, who has
passed beyond the period of his usefulness.
The wagon was filled with farm produce
and the driver and his companion made
up to represent the type of country folk
that the city-bred person is familiar with
through the medium of the comic week
files. Mrs. Minnie Austin, the daring woman
lough Tlder, repeated her tandem hurdling
exhibition, and the "pick up" act and ride
for a bride by the cowboys were also
givnn. The hurdling caught the crowd,
and they vigorously applauded the daring
horsewoman as she urged the animals
ahead at racing speed.
Hermann's sensational ride for life down
the dangerous Incline of stairs has made
a hit that has resulted in the manage
ment re-engaging him for the remainder
of the Carnival. He made the ride last
Tilght In safety, and was enthusiastically
applauded "vrhen he rode in front of the
grandstand to dismount. An elaborate
programme ol fireworks closed the enter
tainment on the field, and the set pieces
were in keeping with horse show week.
One of the displays represented the well
known picture of three horses heads,
and another design was an automobile
in red, green and yellow tire. In addi
tion, there "was the usual generous display
of rockets, bombs and other pyrotechnic
specialties.
The judges In last night's events were:
Messrs. Ira F. Powers, A. M. Cronln and
Ii. Zj. Hawkins.

HAVE BEGUN GRAVELING.
Railroad Right of "Way on Haw
thorne Avenue.
The Portland City & Oregon Railway
Company has really commenced the work
of graveling their right of way on Haw
thorne avenue, and will continue the work
until it Is completed. The beginning of
this -work has been unavoidably delayed,
and seme time ago Manager Hurlbut told
the city officials that if they could geC
it done any quicker or better or cheaper
then he could, to go ahead and do it and
the company would pay the bill. It has
taken time to get screens for the gravel
and plant for handling it ready, but now
this has all been accomplished and the
company's right of way will be put in
good order as soon as possible.
The property-owners interested and the
Clinton Kelly Sub-Board of Trade have
prevented the company from forgetting
about the job, as was proper, for Haw
thorn avenue and other streets over which
the company's line runs are in a dreadful
condition. When the company has fin
ished improving Its right of way, the
greater portion of these streets will re
main in the same dreadful condition, and
the property-owners will then have to con
sider what they shall do to make the
streets passable. It will hardly be pos
sible for all the travel on the streets to
use the railway company's right of way,
but as soon as Winter sets in there will
be no other place on the streets to fravel
on. Perhaps the railway company may
take a notion to improve these streets
full width.

HoId-TJp That Failed.
A highwayman attempted to hold up Ed
ward Smith, of Belmont street, near
Nineteenth, last night, near his own
home, but in the confusion Smith does
not know whether or not the robber was
armed with a revolver. Smith was on his
way home at the time when a strange
man rushed up, saying: "Hold up your
hands." Smith waited to hear no more,
and he turned to run the robbed said:
"Stop, or I'll shoot" Smith ran all the
harder and succeeded in escaping. The
footpad did not shoot, as he had threat
ened. "GARLAND" STOVES AND RANGES

an evening paper on the Pacific Coast. All of the Illustrations will be new,
and in addition to the usual write-up of the state's resources and Indus
tries and Portland's "superior advantages as the chief city of the Pacific
Northwest, this Issue will contain a number of special .articles of Interest,
each also embellished with appropriate illustrations. A special article Is de
voted to the Lewis and Clark Centennial and American Pacific Exposition
to be held in Portland In 1905. To the Portland Carnival, now in progress,
considerable space Is also devoted. Each subject is treated comprehensive
ly, though without waste of words, and the number will possess the merit
ot compactness. Typographically ic will be all that can be desired. A large
number of extra copies will be pilnted for Eastern distribution, and as the
demand will be heavy, those desiring extra copies' to send to friends are
advised to get their orders In early. The price will be 5 cents per copy. Ex

this position, and I will stick to it, that
this system of passing bills does not
amount to anything. I would rather not
see any bills than to finger them over
this way, and make a motion to allow
them. We ought to have some system of
auditing the bills, and not'let them stack
up and be ordered paid when we know
nothing about them."
"We expect every one to look over the
bills," said Chairman Hughes, "and if
one member knows nothing about a bill,
maybe one of the others can Inform him."
"I "suggest that we have a committee."
said Mr. Swigert, "whose duty It shall bo
to look over the bills In detail:"
"We want to get the best possible way,''
answered Chairman Hughes. "I thought
It the best plan for every one to go over
the bills. There Is no doubt that we, as
a commission, must vote on these bills,
but If you prefer to have a committee
to prepare a special report on the bills
every month, that will be perfectly satis
factory to me."
The members then drifted Into a dis
cussion of the way In which supplies were
purchased for the commission. Mr. Rellly
delicately Insinuated that they wero
yrastlng the taxpayers' money by not
making contracts for supplies. Thlf
brought down on his head the vials of
wrath of some of the other members,
and It was learned that Mr. Kelly, In
charge of the dredge, simply O. K'd the
bills with reference to the fact that h
received the goods and that the com-
mission had ordered Mr. Stevens, the '
clerk, to protect its Interests in the way
of watching prices and buying supplies.
"It might not be a bad Idea," inter
posed Mr. Hughes, "lf we would refer
all bills relating to some particular sub
ject to some member of the commission
having a special knowledge of the matter.
For Instance, we could refer all bills on
Iron and machinery to Mr. Swigert, those
for slabwood to Mr. Banfield and Mr.
Rellly here is a good judge of meat, wo
could refer all the meat bills to him."
The chairman smiled blandly.
"No! no!" modestly expostulated Mr.
Rellly.
The commission went to auditing bills,
and a few minutes later discussed the
renting of the scows of the commission
' to Hale & Kern, from whom an offer had
come. It was decided to rent, the two
new scows for $50 a month each, and the
old ones for $40 a month each.
Chairman Hughes then outlined plans
for a waterwheel which would determine
the rate of tle current flowing out of
the dredge, and be of advantage In com
puting the work of the dredge. His plan
was to have a paddle-wheel with a pedo
meter attached. He submitted no esti
mate of the expense.
"Perhaps it would be better, Mr.
Hughes, If we waited until there were
submitted more definite estimates as to
the cost of 'this device," suggested Mr.
Adams and the matter was dropped.
Mr. Adams then continued: "Since our
last meeting and the philippic Mr. Hughes
delivered us on the occasion, I wrote a
letter asking Engineer Lockwood as to
his Ideas on the construction of a dredge
pump. He replied to me, and said that
he would be willing to appear before the
commission to explain his Ideas." Mr.
Adams then read his letter, which covered
the dredge pump construction question, as
follows:
The requirements of a dredging pump are
comparativel few, but to my mind very es
sential. They are as follows:
First The pump must be capable of being
kept in repair.
.Second It must be so built that these re
pairs can be made quickly and well.
Third The passages through the runner and
casing must be large enough so that anything
which can get Into the pump will go through
without getting Jammed.
Fourth It must be as efficient as possible
while fulfilling these requirements.
Fifth It must be fairly efficient at any head
or length of pipe line that it may1 be called
upon to pump against.
Since Mr. Adams anounced his Inten
tion of making a trip to San Francisco,
it was decided to settle the matter of In
viting Mr. Lockwo6d to a conference.
Mr. Banfield moved that Mr. Lockwood
be Invited to a conference with the Port
of Portland Commission.
"It "being understood," Interposed Mr.
Hughes, "that his visit shall be without
cost to the commission, and that the
commission shall not be bound to employ
him to supervise the construction of a
dredge Dump on his designs.''
"I want this strictly understood," con
tinued Mr, Hughes- "and I want It to
go on the record. A lot of things that
we do understand have a way ot getting
misunderstood again. That was the way
with some of the members, who agreed
that the fact of our sending Mr. Lock
wood East did not bind us to employ him
when he returned, but, nevertheless,
argued when he returned that we were
f morally bound to employ him for the rea
son that we had sent him East."
"Mr. Hughes, you are deliberately per
verting the facts," came like a shot out
of a gun from Mr. Adams. "No one of
us made such an argument. You are per
verting the facts."
"You want to learn to keep a civil
tongue In your head, Adams, for one
thing," retorted Hughes. "That argu
ment was made, and Mr. Rellly repeated
It to me only yesterday."
"That's right," said Mr. Rellly. "I did
make that argument, and I am not
ashamed of It. When I build a house I
employ an architect. When I build a

WHERE OREGON SEINES.
Waldorf-Astoria Willing to Pay $7 05
Per Box for Our Apples.
In a recent letter to Secretary Lamber
son, of the Oregon Board of Horticulture.
Superintendent H. E. Dosch. of the re
son exhibit at the Buffalo Exposition
y? """mco ui. me way tne rame
or Oregon and Oregon products Is spread
ing by reason of the display made at that
fair. Mr. Dosch cays:
A few days ago I took out of cold storage the
last four boxes of Hood River apples. Strange
ly enough, they came out the finest of any
and 1 was just when I needed fine apples, too'
I was arranging theso apples on plates on our
counters when several gentlemen stepped up
and asked some questions about them. The
air was heavy wUth their fragrance, and thoy
looked perfection. One gentleman handed me
his card-Mr. Ludwlg von Arnim, the Waldorf
Astoria. He asked me it I would sell him the
apples, and where others like them could be
obtained. I told him that these apples cost
us. laid down here. ?7 G5 per box, rather a
high price for apples. 'All right," said he,
"I'll take 20 boxes today; price is no object,
so long as I get such apples as these for our
hotel." The gentlemen went into ecstasies over
the sire, color and flavor of the fruit. I re
ferred them to the Hood River people to get
a supply, but I fear the season was too lae
for delivering more of those apples in New
York. Before leaving, the hotel man said he
had been scouring the country for apples, and
was willing to pay any price for apples that
keep their color and flavor, as these did.
Yesterday I was busy at my desk when a
man approached and handed me a card bearing
th'e namo of Mons. Alajos Palkert. Royal Hun
garian Agricultural Commissioner, Washing
ton. D. C. Ha said he had come to study the
agricultural resources of the various states as
represented ,. here. He could not talk much
.English, so we carried on our conversation
first In French and then in German, which
he preferred. He said ho had been here a
week, and that our exhibit suited him best of
all. He expressed the cofivlction that a coun
try that could grow such fruits, grains and
grasses must be. a wonderful country. "I
never saw such fino grain or so many forage
plants," said h. "When you close here I
should like very much to havo them for an
exhibit for our Royal Hungarian Department qj
Agriculture, at Budapesth. I was requested
by my government to come up hero for the
express purpose of selecting some good state
for our emigrants to go to. Of course, we do
not encourage emigration, but you know peo
ple will seek other countries, and, this being
the case, my department wishes to assist them
to locate on the most suitable farming lands
we can find. We particularly desire to keep
them out of the mining regions of the Eastern
part of this country. My Investigations and
deliberations have led me to the belief that
your State of Oregon Is the best for my peo
ple, for farming, fruit-culture or stock-raising."
I promised him all he wanted, and will cer
tainly give him a fine collection of our agri
cultural products for the display at Buda-
pesth. j

She Went on the Stand to Say That
She Deserted Him 10 Years Ago
Motion of Defense Overruled.
Both wives testified yesterday at the
trial of B F. Durphy, on a charge of
polygamy. The first wife, Sadie S. Bos
worth Durphy, testified In favor of the
defendant, stating that she deserted him,
and the second wife, Margaret E. Ryan
Durphy, testified against him. She is the
complainant in the case.
Mrs. Durphy No. 2 testified concerning
her marriage to Durphy In Chicago, July
20, 1887, and said they catne to Portland'
to live two years subsequently, and did
live as husband and wife.
Mr. Idleman, attorney for the defense,
objected to this testimony. He said the
statute of Illinois provides that when a
man and wife have lived apart for five
years, then another marriage Is legal.
The assumption was that they were hus
band and wife, and she could not testify
against him.
District Attorney Chamberlain stated,
in response:"I presume the defense will
attempt to show the first marriage was
void from lapse of time, but until they
do, the presucrption of the first marriage
ought to hold good'
Judge Sears held the evidence to be ad
missible. The witness testified that she lived with
Durphy as his wife until August 15, IMS.
On cross-examination, the "witness tes
tified that she came here from Eureka,
Cal., and that she engaged George H.
Durham here as her attorney In July,
1900, and tnat he arranged a settlement
with Durphy, but that It was not carried
out, since she did not agree to Its terms.
She further admitted that she sued Dur
phy for $50,000 In California, and brought
two criminal charges against him. The
suit was still pending, and the court dis
missed the criminal proceedings.
In explaining a question a little later
on, Mr. Mays remarked: "Our contention
Is that this prosecution Is not In good
faith. That when Mrs. Durphy found the
settlement could not be carried out she
brought this prosecution."
The District Attorney denied somewhat
warmly that he was acting In the cade
from anything but proper motives, and a
tilt followed.
Mr. Idleman then took up the cross
examination, and a numberof papers con
cerning the settlement were attempted
to be Introduced.
"Our theory Is," said Mr. Mays, "lf we
can Introduce evidence tending to show
that a person had taken certain unusual
steps In chls case, and whose name ap
pears with another party who was lnfluen.
tlal In having her bring this action, it
will prove 'the incredibility of the wit
ness." The court sustained an objection.
Mr. Idleman next sought to elicit from
the witness that she knew of Durphy's
prior marriage for a long time, and had
admitted such knowledge to Mildred Dur
phy at San Francisco, and H. L. Ford, at
Eureka, but she denied it. She stated that
she was first, Informed of the former
marriage by Durphy at Chicago, In July,
1900.
Later on she testified that at the time
ot her marriage to Durphy, he Informed
her that he went through a mock mar
riage ceremony when he was only 13 years
old, but was always ashamed of it after
wards, and desisted from speaking of it. i
The" state rested with the understand
ing that Alexander Bernstein may be
called to testify that Durphy and Mar
garet Ryan lived together In Portland as
husband and wife.
At the opening of the afternoon session
of the court attorneys for the defense
asked the court to Instruct the jury to
return a verdict xof not guilty, on the
ground that the prosecution had not made
out a case against the defendant, and
alsourglng insufficiency of thendictment.
After arguments consuming 'two hours
had been made the court denied the mo
tion. The first point made was that the cer
tificates introduced to show the first mar
riage were not enough, as there was only
evidence of the religious ceremony, and
none tending to show the performance of
the civil contract. The certificates intro
duced were to the effect that B. F. Dur
phy and Sadie E. Bosworth were married
by a certain minister.
Another point made was that Durphy'3
first wife deserted him In 1S81, that he
married Margaret E. Ryan in 18S7, and
had a right to under the Illinois statute,
not having heard from her for over five
years. In Oregon a similar statute per
taining to polygamy provides for 1 years'
lapse off time.
The last point urged was that the state
had offered In evidence the complaint
filed by Durphy in his divorce suit against
his first wife, containing his sworn state
ment that she had abandoned him in 1881,
and he had not heard from her for more
than 18 years past.
The state was bound by this evidence,
It was argued, and prosecution was
barred, as at the time fixed In the Indict
ment the statute concerning polygamy
provided that It shall not apply where
there has been desertion by a former hus
band or wife covering a. period of more
than seven years.
Judge Sears said that would be sufficient
lf there was no other evidence, but re
ferred to the Lucas letteT, which referred
to Durphy having left his wife instead of
the contrary having occurred.
The last point was that the indictment
failed to charge that the defendant knew
his first wife was alive when he contract
ed the second alliance, and unless he knew
she was alive there was no crime.
The court considered the arguments of
both sides carefully before overruling the
motion.
Mrs. Durphy, No. 1, was the first wit
ness called by the defense, and her ap
pearance created somewhat of a stir.
There Is quite a disparity between the
ages of t'ne two wives, the first being
about 60 years old and the second a com-
A PLUMP FIGURE
Makes a First-Class, Telling Argu
ment. "About a year ago a doctor and his
wife came to board wrlth us. We already
had Miss G., who was at that time thin
and yellow and considerably out of
health.
"The first morning the new boarders
came to the table as guests, the young
lady remarked, as she set her cup down,
'This is coffee!' while the doctor added,
'Not at all like the poor coffee they have
been giving us at the hotel.' I smiled
behind my napkin and asked If either of
them ever used Postum Food Coffee. The
doctor said he had tasted it, but it was
weak, miserable stuff. Miss G. had heard
of it and wished she could try it.
"I said nothing, but at the end of three
months, when Miss G. -was ready to
leave us for a new field of labor, said, 'I
have been giving you Postum Food Cof
fee all the time you have been here.'
'What, Is that coffee Postum?' she said.
I remarked that I had noticed with great
pleasure her dally gain in health, and
now that she was leaving us after only
three months at our table, she had rosy
cheeks and a plump figure, which" Was all
the argument anyone needed to prove the
fact that she had been well cared for,
and the reason for her gain In health was
the use of Postum Food Coffee, for no
other change had been made of any ac
count, In her food.
"The doctor was very much delighted
with the experiment, and discovered
that where he had tried Postum before,
he had been unfortunate In having It
under-holled. Postum must be "boiled
15 or 20 minutes to bring out the delic
ious flavor, and then it will suit the taste
of anyone." Mrs Florence Dougherty,

paratlvely young woman. The defendant
Is about 42, and his daugnter Is attractive.
In answer to the usual preliminary ques
aon, the witness said her name was Sadie
S. Durphy, and that she lives in Brockton,
Mass. She was born there. She became
acquainted with the defendant when he
was a young man. and lived with him
from the year of their marriage In 1S74
until 1SSL They separated in 1SS1. She
left him. It was a permanent separation.
She took the child. They never lived to
gether after that, and she only heard of
him through others, the first time directly
three years ago.
Oir cross-examination by Mr. Durham
the witness said she had not seen the de
fendant since 1SSL until four weeks ago
at San Francisco. She came there on the
invitation of her daughter Mildred. Since
18S1 she had resided within 30 or 40 miles
of Brockton, where she left Durphy. She
admit'ted that she sold the house In Brock
ton where she lived, and that the defend
ant must have Joined with her In making
a deed, but she could not remember when
she made the sale. The cross-examination
will be finished this morning.
