FIRST FIGHT WON
BY GOUNTRY CLUB
Organization Forces North Pa
cific Fair Association to
Grant Racing Dates.
FOLLOWING SALEM FAIR
Stormy lebate' After Request and
Local Organization Is . Dropped
From Membership, but Com
pels a Reconsideration.
' After many hours of debate the North
Pacific Fair Association at its annual
meeting in this city yesterday finally con
coded to the Portland Country Club the
dates It had applied for and elected of
ficers. The officers elected are president.
"William F. Matlock; vice-president. Rob
ert H. Cosgrove, of Spokane; secretary
and treasurer, M. D. Wisdom. The new
board of appeals will be G. A. Graham,
of North Yakima; Dan Currle, of Ever
ett; F. E. Alley, of Roseburg, Frank
Welch, of Salem, and J. Et Shrewbury,
of Seattle.
There' was no hitch In proceedings until
it came to the allotment of racing dates;
then a mishty wrangle began. G. A.
Westgate, secretary of the Portland
Country Club, had made application for
membership In the association and de
manded racing dates following the Oregon
State Fair. This did not suit some of the
delegates from "Washington. They quick
ly formed a combination and insisted
upon forcing Portland to accept dates
earlier in September. Then .Mr. West
gate announced that unless the associa
tion could see Its way clear to give Port
land the dates sought, the Country Club
would withdraw, inasmuch as It had an
nounced when seeking membership that
It's coming in depended upon whether the
dates asked for were allowed.
It did not seem to strike the Washington
delegates as possible that the Country
Club could give a livestock show and a
race meet without being a member of
the association. But when It became ap
parent there was no way in which to
keep Portland in line, and when they were
finally convinced that with the Country
Club offering $20,000 In purses and JJO.000
in stock prizes, the harness men and five
stock men would exhibit at Portland
rather than at North Yakima and other
Washington points, there was a break In
the ranks. After a long wrangle the reso
lution dropping Portland from the circuit
was rescinded.
Creates More Trouble.
This paved the way for Mr. Westgate to
make application again for membership
to the association, which he did. But the
atmosphere was not cleared, for again
admitting Portland threw the racing dates
back a week, and this was objected to
by R. H. Johnson, of Walla Walla, and
W. H. Gibson, of Boise. Rather than ac
cept the dates allotted them,' these cities
were at first inclined to withdraw from
the association. Rather than have this
action taken it was decided that Walla
Walla and Boise be allowed to select
dates the same as those of Portland,
North Yakima or Spokane.
While the association members were
quibbling over racing dates, the. members
of the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock Asso
ciation, holding a meeting on the same
floor, passed a resolution, adopting a fair
circuit, starting with Salem, following
with Portland and then going down the
line through the circuit of the Northwest.
When the members who had . held out
against Portland, discovered that the
breeders were with the Country Club,
there was a decided change n front. Al
though the resolution was placed on the
table It had the effect of showing that
without the exhibitors of livestock, the
fairs would not amount to much.
J. A. Flleher, secretary of the Califor
nia Slate Agricultural Society, came from
Sacramento to attend the meeting and
applied for admission to the association.
Mr. Filcher was present In behalf of the
California society and promised to do all
he could to have the California exhibitors
ship to the Northwest. All the delegates
were guests of the officers of the Coun
try Club at a banquet given last night at
the Commercial Club.
The list of the stakes and purses ar
tiinsjed by the Country Club, the Oregon
State Fair, North Yakima and Spokane

ARRANGING BOXIXG TOURNEY
Tommy Tracey's Amateurs Will Ap
pear in Squared Circle.
Tommy. Tracey Is preparing to hold the
second of the monthly tournaments inau
gurated at the Columbia Athletic Club
last month. A number of his most promis
ing young boxers have signified their
desire to appear before the public and
matches are now being arranged. The
date of the tourney has not yet been set
for the reason that the management
desires to secure two or three more,
matches before presenting the exhibition.
An application for a chance before the
club has been received from Private
James Donohue, Battery A, Fourth Field
Artillery, U. S. A., who desires to be
matched In the welter-weight division.
Manager Tracey has written him that he
would be glad to list him as an entry,
providing that he Is a bonaflde amateur.
A number of other outside entries have
been received and Tracey is engaged In
investigating the standing of the applicants.

Football Banquet to Lonergan.
The members of the football eleven
of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club of the past season assembled at
a reunion banquet Wednesday night,
which was called for the purpose of
extending: to Captain Frank J. Loner
gan the gratitude of each individual
member of the team. The banquet was
held at the Hotel Portland, and only
the football players were present.
During the course of the evening Cap
tain Lonergan was called upon to
stand up and Manager John Uoran
presented him with a handsome silk
watch fob bearing his initials in gold
letters. This present was decided upon
as most fitting by the football players
because it matched the beautiful watch
presonted by the club at the annual
banquet last month. The selection of
"Stump" Stott as captain' of the team
for the coming season was ratified in
the most enthusiastic manner by the
members of the football squad.

One of the largest and most successful
meetings In the history of the Oregon
Pure Bred Livestock Association was held
yesterday afternoon in the quarters of the
organization In the Hamilton building.
This association arranges Its meetings so
that they ire held at the same time
and In the same city as the annual meet
ings of the North Pacific Fair Associa
tion, which under this arrangement also
met In Portland yesterday. The meeting
was called to order yesterday morning by
President Richard Scott, of Mllwaukie,
and during the forenoon and afternoon
sessions a great deal of important busi
ness was transacted.
The meeting was attended by a large
number of breeders from Oregon, Wash

tee was appointed to recommend changes
In the classification and premium lists.
This committee made Its report yesterday
and recommended that each fair associa
tion adopt a uniform rule, both In Its
classification lists and in the premiums
offered. The report of the committee
was adopted, but the committee, because
its work was not finished was made a
standing one. It will make its final re
port at the annual meeting, which will
be held at the close of the Oregon State
Fair. By the changes In the premium
lists and In the classification of livestock
exhibits, the association hopes for a
greater success and believes that it will
be the means of bringing out larger herds
at the various fairs.
Another important matter taken up at
the meeting was the question of shipping
livestock around the circuit of the North
Pacific Fair Association. For years past
breeders have had their own troubles with
the railroad companies and have all along
maintained that they were unable to get
fair treatment and that they could not
risk their herds on the trains, and In eon
sequence many of the breeders would not
ship their herds to the fairs.
In order to better conditions If possible,
a railroad committee on transportation
was appointed made up of the following
members. President Scott, R. Wilson and
Frank Brown. After the committee was
appointed. President Scott called up F. H.
Fogarty, assistant general freight agent
of the Northern Pacific, and R. B. Miller,
general freight agent of the Harrlman

OUT OF RACE
CLEAR FTEIiD FOR OFFICE OF
ATTORNEY-GENERA Ii.
Only Republican Candidate Accepts
Position With Seattle Electric on
Olfer Inspired by Railroads.
OLTMPIA. Feb. . (Special.) The ac
ceptance by A. J. Falknor, Assistant Attorney-General,
of a posttlon In the legal
department of the Seattle Electric Com
pany, opens practically a clear field to
aspirants for the Republican nomination
as Attorney-General. Mr. Flaknor was
to have become a candidate for the posi
tion, but his acceptance of the offer "made
by the Seattle Street Railway Corpora
tion means his retirement from political
life.
Falknor had the field practically to
himself for the Attorney-General's chair.
C. McDonald, of Spokane, also an As
sistant Attorney-General at one time, had
almost decided to enter the race, but a
combination was made by the terms of

.
which McDonald was to support Falknor
In Eastern Washington. This was
brought about by an attractive business
connection opening for McDonald In pri
vate practice at Spokane. He Is said to
have formed a lucrative partnership, and
it is doubtful if he enters the race, even
with Falknor out of It.
Attorney-General Atkinson, who is not
to be a candidate for re-election, says
Falknor's successor, as his assistant, will
not be selected with any idea of helplnK
some one to the office of Attorney-General.
He has Invited the railroad com
mission to select a man for the vacancy,
inasmuch as Falknor has 'been the as
sistant delegated to the legal work of
that department.
Falknor's retirement from the Attorney-General's
office is really a blow to
trie Railroad Commission, and the pre
sumption has been expressed here that
the railroad companies engineered the of
fering of the Seattle position tor him, in
order to deprive the Commission of Its
legal counsel in tne thick of the legal
fight now in progress. The Commission
confronts the problem of finding a law
yer of ability and experience who will
abandon his own practice to come to
Olympla for a position In which h Is
