KENNEL GLUB BOLTS Withdraws From the Western Kennel League, WILL JOIN A GREATER ONE Following Action of California CJubs, Portland Kennel Club Wii! Apply for Charter in American Kennel League. After an animated but harmonious meeting of two hours last night, the board of directors of the Portland Ken nel Club yotpd to secede from the West ern Keppel League and apply for a char ter In the American Kennel League, the secretary being so instructed. This ac tion was taken by the directors because they believe a member of the latter league has more advantages and that amalgamation with the league will have a stimulating effect as far as the local plub Is concerned. Several clubs In the State of California have left the Western Kennel League recently, amalgamating with the Ameri can Kennel League. This has caused other elubs in the coast .country to dis cuss the advisability of doing likewise, especially as the secession of the Califor nia clubs weakened the Western League considerably. The matter of joining the American League appealed to the Port land club, and a special meeting of di rectors was ordered for last evening. At this meeting correspondence bo tween the local club and the officials of the American League was read and dls- cussed, the directors unanimously decid ing that it would be beneficial to leave the Western League and affiliate with the larger and mpre Important associa tion. Speaking of the result of the meet ing last night, William Qoldman said: "We believe in taking this- action that the club will be greatly benefited. Since the secession of the California clubs, many of which were very important to the welfare of the Western Kennel League, the league has been weakened, and other clubs which have not as yet taken action are discussing the advis ability of withdrawing and joining the American League, believing that they will secure greater advantages by so doing. We discussed tho matter thor oughly and came to the conclusion that it would be the best thing for the club to secede in the footsteps of the California clubs. WTe accordingly voted to Instruct the secretary to apply to the Amerloan Kennel League for a charter." Michael thought he would become a star knight of the saddle, hut he went broke, lost 110,000 very quickly and then returned to the wheel. Manager P. T, Powers, who Is conduct ing the six-day grind, In speaking of the passing of Michaels, the other day said: "I giiess. he made all of $150,000 in. the game when It was at its warmest. He took such good care qf It that no one ever dreamed that he would go broHe. Me wasn't a jneap little chap, but he had to take care of his mother and father, he always said, and he expected to be mar ried some day. "His defeat by Bobby waltnour scemea to take the stamina out of him. He should have rested and waited fo- It to come back. "Instead, he followed the idea that he would make a world wonder on the turf, as he had on the cycle path. His first loss happened after he had bought a sta ble to race with dpwn In Louisville. It cpgt him all ef $10,000. He knew nothing about horses, and when he began to put dawn his money it began to fly. Even When he recovered from Murphy the price he paid for the stable half of his savings had been eaten up by his horses. "He tried to get back into bicycling. But the game was not what it used to be, and the motor pace had superseded the old quad and sextet pace, and his science was useless. "Then he went back to the jockey Idea again and went abroad, hoping to -wiry on foreign tracks. It was no use. and he Anally landed back on the path at Berlin. There he got his injury. "Michael made his first winning here only a- year v after he first distinguished himself "by winning an amateur cham pionship In Wales. Warburton picked him up and matched him against Star buck. The match, -witnessed by 27,000 peo ple at Manhattan Beach, netted Michael close on $10,000, Including the $2500 purser for he had put all the money he could beg borrow or scrape together on himself. As an unknown against a favorlto he got the big end of tho money. After the race he counted his winnings in a sort of daze He had never seen so much before. "After that race he backed "himsell everywhere he wont, and rode an honest race every time. Not a year passed that he did not add at least $10,000 to his stack. "Nobody over knew how much he won except generally by the size of his smile. "If ho had taken to automoblllng as the other bicycle riders did, when the whee! went out of popularity, he might have been still smiling and still adding to hi: winnings.' WON AND LOST A FORTUNE. Jimmy Michael Made $150,000 Bi cycling and Lost It on the Turf. Jimmy Michael, the little Welsh rabbit, wbo died while ep route to the six-day bike race now going on in New York, left behind him little of the fortune he made. His hicycie racing career covered a period of about seven years, and in that tijne he won. together with the purses and the money he wagered on himself, something like $150,000. Michael's money was not thrown away on fast livipg, but in an at tempt to make a jockey out of himself. Julip and Poppy Dangerous Flowers. The florist held a tulip in his hand. "Some people claim that a tulip has no smell." he said. "As a matter of fact It has a dangerous smell. Take a tulip of a deep crimson color and inhale it with profpund inspirations, and it will be apt to make you lightheaded. Tou will say and do queer things dance, sing, fight, swear, and so on. For two hours you will cut up In this way. Afterward you will be depressed. "The poppy Is another dangerous flower. A young woman of a nervous tempera ment, If she lingers among a bed of pop ples, will grow drowsy, the same as it she had smoked a 'pipe or two of opium. In Asia Minor, where the opium manufac turers cultivate vast fields of poppies, tourists inspecting the beautiful flowers often become altogether incapacitated. They get so sleepy they can hardly talk. They reel in their gait. In some casea they have to be put to bed." Woydt's Wound Dangerous. SPOKANE. Wash., Dec. 19.

Now in an advertisement it is impossible to tell you of the bargains in fine umbrellas we are offering unless you call and see the umbrellas themselves. It is only ncessary to remember that we have always held the reputation for selling umbrellas of the best quality, as well as that of carrying the largest and best assortment of fine handles on the Coast. We hold this reputation be cause we manufacture our urnbrellas from our own exclusive patterns and from special materials selected and manufactured es pecially for us and, of course, our umbrellas arc different from the common store umbrellas. k THE REASON for this great reduction in prices at this time is that we made up a great many fine umbrellas last Summer for our Fall trade, but the weather has been against us so that we have not sold half of them : and to keep our stock nice and fresh we are selling them out at just the price of the handles. We never carry a large stock of umbrellas made up, for the majority of our stock is in handles and material which we make up as we need. Any store carrying an unusually large stock is bound to have many old ready-to-split umbrellas to sell you at reduced prices.
