IH MANY'' CITIES
Meadows Meet at Seattle Is
Attracting Large Number
of Horsemen.
MATT REISS A WINNER
Miss Officious Captures the 1909
Handicap and Enriches Her
Owner by a Xeat Sum Review
of Grand Circuit Racing.
The year 1907 has been a remarkable
one in the horse world, not only from
the standpoint of the pacer and trotter,
but the runners have enjoyed their share
of the prosperity experienced by turf
men all over the United States and Can
ada. Portland, alone of all the large
Western cities, goes through the season
without a regular" meet, and aside trom
the all-too-short attractions furnished by
the Portland Hunt Club and Riverside
Driving Association, this city has not en.
joyed a race meet for two years.
At Seattle the Meadows meet has
proved a huge success, and is attracting
large crowds of horse-lovers who Journey
to the Puget Sound metropolis from all
parts of the Northwest, which demon
strates the popularity of the "sport of
kings" in this vicinity. Under favorable
conditions, by which is meant an hon
estly conducted meet, the racing game
might flourish in Portland as well.
Some two years ago the Portland pro
moters of horse racing became involved
-in a quarrel among themselves and as a
result pool selling was placed under the
ban. Since then various efforts have
been made to resume racing but without
success and now the handsome track
which attracted so many and such larg
crowds during the short period of three
or four years the game flourished here,
: is to be torn down and cut up into uild
lng lots.
In Seattle a slight agitation is being
. conducted with a view of enacting a
law against horse racing, but according
to the views of several horsemen and
sporting authorities, the efforts of the
reformers will be of no avail. They base
their assertions on the fact the public
wants the races, and as a rule the public
gets what it wants.
At the Meadows last Saturday the first
event of a series of at least three was
run. It was the Initial running of the
'lStO" handicap, which will, during the
ear of the proposed Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, be valued at $20,000. The
running of the first "1909" and the clever
win by Matt Reiss' splendid little 3-year-old
fiUy, Miss Officious, could hardly have
been a more popular one.
The owner Is a Seattle man, and as his
entry had scored several times, previously
at the Meadows, and had shown great
promise as a 2-year-old, the little mare,
so cleverly handled by Jockey W. Kelly,
scored a victory that enriched the Reiss
coffers .by $3075 and earned the approval
of all who witnessed the going. Her vic
tory not only proved pleasing to the
public, but it also proved a good thing
for the bookies, for Logistllla, of the
Hoak & Co. stables, was the heavily
played favorite and was touted to win in
a walk. The Hoag entry had captured
the majority of the stake and purse
events on the California tracks last Win
ter and ' was primed for the big Seattle
event.
Miss Officious, by her victory Saturday,
placed her owner. Matt Reiss. at the head
of the winners at the Meadows for the
season. So far this season he has $ii090
to his credit as a result of the perform
ances of his stable. -The greatest portion
of, this has been won by the winner of
the '"10O9" handicap.
Miss Officious, the winner Of the big
Seattle event, is a half-sister to Bally
Hoo Bay, the famous favorite of the late
William C. Whitney, and was bred on the
celebrated Whitney stock farm in Ken
tucky. The Whitney trainers did not be
lieve, that she was strong enough to show
class . In a race and on account of a
supposedly weak back, was useless for
breeding purposes, and she was disposed
of to Barney Schreiber, who later sold
the mare to Matt Reiss. The judgment
Df the Whitney trainers, and also the fa
mous California turfman has been dis
proved since she became the property of
Reiss, for she has shown class on many
occasions, which is evidence that '.he
best of breeders and followers of the
. racing game sometimes fail when judg
ment is required.
Barney Schreiber, probably the most
successful and luckiest horseman on the
Coast since the palmy days of "Lucky"
Baldwin, is on his way to hold a con
ference with President Tom WillianiB of
the Pacific Jockey Club, who Is spending
his vacution in the mountains near the
McCloud River. The object of Schreib
er's visit to Williams" is to secure his
sanction to the erecting of another track
to take the place -of the Ascot Park
place at Los Angeles. The new site is
called Arcadia, and as such the track.
If built, will be known, and the racing
enthusiasts along the Coast are anxious
y awaiting the result ot the Schreiber
Wllliams conference.
, The interest In the meeting is greatly
enhanced by the report that George Rose
la also hurrying to the McCloud River
Summer home fff the chief of the jockey
club, and it is said his object is a sim
ilar one to that of the "Lucky Dutch
man." Rose has long been connected
with the Ascot track, and since that
structure is about to be closed, owing
to It having met the same fate as Irv
ington. that of being turned into town
lots, the well-known Los . Angeles
turfite Is desirous of seeujjnjr the sanc
tion of Williams In favor of the
new site at Arcadia. As he has the
prior claim on the Los Angeles terri
tory, it will undoubtedly prove an Inter
esting struggle between him and Schreib-.
er and just what concessions Rope" will

atical. ,
The recent Grand Circuit meeting at
Buffalo was most favorable, when gen
eral results compared with those of pre
vious meetings are concerned, but It
failed to bring out anything iii the rec-ord-breaKing
and sensational lines.
Material changes were made this year
In Buffalo's' racing system, the associa
tion doing away entirely with its former
three-heat plan by limiting every race
to four heats, except the youngster
event, with the noticeable result of fea
tureless racing compared with the years
when the 'shorter system was In vogue.
The association, also changed Its com
plicated method of dividing purses an
stakes, going back to the regulation per
centage system, a change which no
doubt was welcomed by the winning
owners and drivers.
The system under which the1 recent
Buffalo meeting was held Is a new one
for the harness turf,- but the showing
made was such that it is not likely to
be followed by others, or pernaps given
another trial even by the association
which Introduced it. members of the
Grand Circuit who advocate the longer
system would not change from the plan
of limiting each race to five heats alter
sending horses, which do not stand for
a portion of the purse, to the stable,
at the finish of the third heat, a plan
which has shown some merit and pro
duced better resuus. '
Last year four- trotters took reduced
records at Buffalo, same as this year,
but while three of the four last year en
tered the 2:10 list, only one secured that
distinction at Buffalo, namely Wilkes
Heart.
The showing In the pacing division,
however, was much better compared
with 1906, when seven obtained reduced
records, of which only luree entered the
2:10 list, while recently nine took -new
marks, all in 2:10 or better, including
four new fast performers.
Sonoma Girl trotted a mile in 2:06 3-4,
the fastest In that u. vision, against An
glola's 2:06 3-4, but this was partly made
up In the pacing division by Angus
Pointer winning a heat in 2:03 1-4.
against Ecstatlc's 2:04 1-4 In' 1906.
Stakes and purses are divided accord
ing to the published rules of the asso
ciation. The fourth money, or $1000, of
tne Empire State Stake has been ..vided
between three horses, and In order to
avoid putting down fractions, Atheshan
has been credited with $334, also its
driver.

BOOST FROM GRANT'S PASS
Approaching Sessions There of Ore
gon Irrigation Association.
GRANT'S PASS, Or., Augr. 18. (To
the Editor.) The annual meeting of
the Oregon Irrigation Association will
be held In Grant's Pass September 10,
11, 12. The. National Irrigation Con
gress closes at Sacramento, Cal., Sep
tember 7. and we have the assurance
from Secretary Garfield and Secretary
Wilson that all the Government ex
perts who will be af Sacramento will
come direct to Grant's Pass and take
part in the Oregon Irrigation Conven
tion. I have the personal promise of
both Mr. Newell and Mr. Plnchot that
they will attend our convention and
take part in the proceedings.
It 1 expected that there will be
3000 Eastern people at the Sacramento1
Congress, and we shall send a strong;
delegation there In the effort to in
duce as many people as possible to
return by way of Oregon to their
homes, and to stop off for a day at
Grant's Pass. We have the co-operation
of the Southern Pacific Railroad
in this effort, and feel certain that we
shall get 500 or more of the delegates
to visit Oregon. We are also arrang
ing for a business men's excursion
from Portland to visit "Rogue River
Valley. The itinerary would be to
leave Portland Tuesday evening: ar
rive in Grant's Pass the next morning;
spend the day and that night there;
the following morning leave for Ash
land, then to Medford and on the
branch road to historic old Jackson
ville; back to Medford and on the new
Estes road to Eagle Point; and back
to Medford and leave for Portland
that evening, arriving home the next
morning. .
On the same tiates as the meeting of
the Irrigation Convention, there will
be held the Rogue River Valley Indus
trial Fair. It Is the first real fair to
be held in the Rogue River Valley
and .will be strictly a display of the
products of this section of Oregon, "so
that we may show our visitors the re
sources and possibilities of this highly
favored by nature but undeveloped
Valley. The citizens of both Jose
phine and Jackson Counties are giving
the most hearty support to this under
taking and we shall be able to make
a creditable showing. One feature of
it is to be a complete display of sam
ples of all the clays, shales, llmerock,
marble and other of the common min
erals with a view of ascertaining the
possibility of inaugurating clay-working,
cement, lime and other like in
dustries. We have the assurance from
Secretary Garfield that he will send a
Government expert to examine the
samples, and such "as are of value he
will send to Washington, D. C, and
have tested for us.
We propose to make this Fair and
the Irrigation Convention strong fac
tors In drawing the attention of in
vesters and homeseekers to Rogue
River Valley. And as the develop
ment of this section of Oregon will be
to Portland's gain in many ways, we
hope to secure the co-operation of the
business men of that city in this work.

MAKE LONG TRIP BY AUTO
Los Angeles to Portland Without
Slightest Accident.
From Los Angeles to Portland In an
automobile in 20 days without a sin
gle accident or repair, or even pump
ing up the tires, and stopping 10 days
on the road. Is the somewhat remark
able record of a trip Just ended by
W. R. Sebree, cashier of the First Na
tional Bank of Caldwell, Idaho. Mr.
Sebree was at the Portland Hotel last
night.

road and came along as smoothly as
if on a little spin around Portland. We
stopped three days In San Francisco
and other places.! The party is made
up of my wife and sister, two babies
and myself. To ride almost from the
southern line of the United States to
the northern without an accident or
delay of any kind proves a great deal
for both our roads and our automo
biles. STRUCK BY A STREETCAR

FUEL TO
Wood Will Cost $10 a Cord,
Say Dealers.
PLANS TO AVOID FAMINE
M. C. Banfield Meets Proposal of
Lafe Pence to Furnish Wood at '
Cost With Offer to Deliver
Without Profit.
If the predictions of a number of
local wood dealers are correct, Port
land is threatened by a fuel famine.
They declare that the " price of the
best, first-growth dry wood will soar
to $10 or $12 a cord, and that it will
be -difficult to meet the demand at
any price. By some of the dealers, the
shortage is now felt, and they are un
able to fill the orders of their cus
tomers. Scarcity of labor and inad
aquate transportation facilities are
given as causes of the shortage.
Bell & McDonald, owners of a large
woodyard at 313 Water street, have
felt the effects of the poor transporta
tion service. They report that they
have at least 1000 cords of dry wood
scattered along the West Side division
of the Southern Pacific, but have been
unable to get it hauled to this city.
Mr. McDonald has made requests for
cars time and time again, but has dif
ficulty in obtaining a definite answer
from the railroad officials. They hav,e
at last promised him, however, to sup
ply all the cars he needs.
According to Mr. McDonald, this
shortage of cars has proved a boon
to the fuel consumers. He believes
that had all the wood lying along the
railroad lines been brought to the city,
it would have been burned during the
Summer months, and that by Novem
ber 1 there would not have been a
stick of It left. People have been
burning slab and green wood during
the Summer, and the supply of dry
wood haa scarcely been touched.
Woodclioppers Are Scarce.
The fuel dealers experience a great
deal of trouble in securing laborers
to cut wood. . Very few white men will
now consent to do this work, and the
only laborers available are Japanese.
Sometimes a few farmers will cut wood
in the Winter, after their crops are
harvested, but demand such high
wages that the firms do not care to
hire them. With all the railroad con
struction under way in the state, few
teamsters care to haul wood, as the
wages are low and the work harder
than that in the grading camps. Mr.
McDonald ' said that he believed the
price of first-class dry wood, delivered,
would probably be advanced to $10
or $12 a cord after November 1.
A new co-operative fuel firm Is now in
the field, and announces that It Intends to
break the fuel trust. So far this new
concern has bought up 3100 cords of
wood, and has options on about 20.0000
cords additional. The company sells
its wood on a rather remarkable plan.
The person desiring" wood goes to the
office of the concern and orders as
many cords as he wishes. The wo.vi
Is sold at the rate of $5 a cord, and
the purchaser is glvefl one share " of
stock In the company for each cord of
wood he buys. The firm then agrees
to have the fuel at the purchaser's house
or place of business In ten diys. A
10 per cent deposit Is required, and
the rest is payable on delivery. In
stead of paying directly to the com
pany, the purchaser deposits the money
with a local bank, and the money :s
then given to the officials of the com
pany. As soon as the wood season Is
over and ehougrh stock subscribed, the
company will be Incorporated.
The managers of the concern say
that a dividend will be declared as soon
as the Incorporation papers are Issued,
and that part of the original payment
will be' returned to the stockholders.
They say that the actual cost of wood
is only about $4 a cord and a dividend
can be easily declared. After the com
pany Is lncorpoiated, wood 'will be
sold only to the stockholders. It is not
know how long the company's present
supply of wood will last, and unless
more options are secured it must sus
pend business. It is also planned to
signed on the output of a mill near
Rainier.
Pence Suggests Co-operation.
Lafe Pence is also going into the
arena as an enemy of the fuel trust
and a friend of the "helpless consumers.
Mr. Pence says he can bring 10,000
cords of dry wood Into the city in a
few months, and If the Chamber of
Commerce is willing to finance the
project and sees that no speculators
are allowed to take advantage of the
low price, he is willing to sell it at
$5 a cord. In order to cover the cost
of cutting, hauling and transportation
to the city, Mr. Pence wishes a guarr
antee of about $8000.
M. C. Banfield, of the firm of Banfield
& Vesey. speaking of this plan, said,
should Mr. Pence care to bring
wood Ipto the city and furnish to a
committee of the fhamber of Com
merce, or any similar body, a detailed
statement of the cost of the wood, that
he. Mr. Banfield, will dellve the
wood at actual cost. He will likewise
furnish detailed figures of cost to the
