4 THE MORNING- OKEGON1AA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3. 1908 AUTO DRIVER IS SERIOUSLY T W. Folberth, Trying Course of Road Races, Meets With -Fearful Accident. COMPANION ALSO INJURED i;corffe McCartney Suffers Severe Uralses Cur Strikes Piece or Xew ltoiul and Turns Over, Tinning Folberth Beneath. William Folberth. a professional au tomobile driver and road racer of con siderable note, was probably fatally injuied. and George McCartney, another driver, was severely hurt by the over turning: of their Oldsmobile racing-car at the intersection of the Section Line and Gresham roads about 6:10 o'clock last night. Folberth is an expert auto driver as well as chief mechanic for the Olds mobile agency at Seattle, and McCart ney is a .friend. The Oldsmobile car, which was to have entered the 100 mile race tomorrow, arrived in Port land from the Seattle agency yester day morning, and after gearing it up and making required changes. Folberth invited McCartney to go with him to the course and try out the machine. The men are reported to have made the circuit several times, but at the time of the accident, they attempted to round the turn from the Section Line road into the Gresham road lead ing to the Twelve-Mile House. They took it, however, over A newly ploughed piece of ground, which is be ing constructed to lessen the danger of the sharp turn that formerly ex isted at that point. Machine Turns Over Three Times. Folberth was evidently unaware of the fact that the new piece of roadway was not yet finished, for as soon as hi machine struck the soft earthen road, it careened heavily, and when he tried to steer out again it turned com pletely over three times, and each time the unfortunate driver was beneath the car, pinned in his seat by the steering wheel. McCartney was beneath the car only on its first revolution, for he was not held in the seat, and was left in the clear as the car turned the second time. Dr. Harry McKay was but a short distance behind the Oldsmobile when it turned over,' and he hurried to the scene. With the feeble assistance of McCartney, who was painfully hurt, the physician succeeded in extricating the badly injured driver from beneath the overturned machine, and removed him immediately to the Twelve-Mile House, about one and one-half miles distant from the scene of the accident. Taken to Twelve-Mile House. At the Twelve-Mile House a super ficial examination of Kolberth's inju ries was made by Dr. McKay, who fouryi the man to be too badly injured to be removed to a hospital at thaf time, and Dr. Short of Gresham was sum moned to attend him at the roadhouse. His condition at midnight was reported as extremely dangerous, which is be lieved to indicate that he is seriously injured internally. His other injuries consist of three broken ribs, a bad sralp wound, and numerous bruises about the head, arms and body. Mc Cartney's injuries consist of a broken collar-bone and wrist, as well as sev eral bruises, but he escaped more for tunately than his companion. The accident to Folberth and his car will prevent the Oldsmobile machine from being represented in the races tomorrow, for the auto is wrecked and cannot be repaired before the races. William Folberth, the injured driver, is one of the best known racing- ex perts in the country, and previous to yesterday's accident. is reported to have enjoyed a most successful ca reer. He formerly raced cars in the East, and about one year ago was sent West to assume charge of the mechanical department of the Seat tle sales agency. His wide ex perienre ir. the mechanical line caused him to become a most valua able man to the factory with which he was affiliated, and knowing his experi ence as a racer, the headquarters of the concern at Detroit, requested him to pilot their entry in the Portland races. New Road Not Finished. The scene of the accident is prac tically within the confines of the vil lage of Gresham. The turn from the Section Line road into what is gener ally called the Gresham road is a sharp one. and the Portland Automobile Club secured the consent of the owner of the property at the northwest corner, to build a road over his land In order to lessen the danger at that point. This new piece of road had not been completed when Folberth attempted to negotiate the turn. The result t hU speeding vehicle hitting the soft ents. with the wheels of one side while those of the other remained on firm ground, caused the machine to capsize and its momentum was such as to cause It to turn over three times. That the two men were not killed instantly is said to have been miraculous. Several prominent, auto drivers who werfi well acquainted with Folberth returned from the Twelve-Mile House late last night, and stated that there was a possible chance for his recovery. Nothing is known here of Folberth's relatives, or whether he has a family, and very few of the local autoists' were even acquainted with his first name.

LONDON. June 2.-7:50 P. M. "The most open Derby in 30 years: there are at least ten horses with equal chances of win ning" was the reply made by a prominent trainer to a request for his opinion as to the probable outcome of the race to be held tomorrow at Epsom for the famous Derby stakes, worth 6,500 sovereigns in cash and the biggest event on the English turf. The trainer's opinion is shared by a majority of the public and racing men, and at the clubs and hotels in London to night not less than a dozen probable starters have coteries of supporters. With the continuation of the present fine weather a record attendance at Ep som is looked for, and a conservative es timate is that close to half a million peo ple will be on the famous downs. In the crowd will be thousands of Americans. Two Americans Strongly Backed. Two American horses will take promi nent parts in the race, -so that the United States will be represented on the track as well as on the stand. Norman III. owned by August Belmont, has' many supporters, so many. Indeed, that since he won the Guineas he has figured almost continuously at the head of the betting lists. He was only supplanted for a few days by Perrier and for this change of money that section of the public which allows Its patriotic desires to affect its betting Is held responsible. The other American horse. Sea Sick II, owned by W. K. Yanderbilt, which ran a dead heat for the French Derby recently, also will carry a lot of American and French money. A large number -of Americans favor Sea Sick II over Norman III, as it is believed that with stern running he will make even a better showing than he did in France. There is another American-owned horse In the race. Azote, the property of James R. Hatmaker, a American resident of Paris. Azote is attracting attention chiefly by reason of his owners' attempt to prove that a aolt fed on dried milk has an advantage over horses fed in the ordinary manner. Azote has never tasted either oats or corn, but has been raised and trained on dried milk with small quantities of hay. Two American Jockies. In addition to these three American horses, two American jockies. Maher and Lyne. will have mounts in the race. Maher. who already has three Derby wins to his credit, is riding; Llangum, and he is confident of victory. Lucien Lyne is just as certain that Mountain Apple, his mount, will win. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt have come over from France for the race and they were joined here today bv Mr. and Mrs. August Belmont, who arrived on the Lusitania. Richard Croker also will be at Epsom and he doubtless re grets that he did not enter Rhodera for the Derby. She is considered the best racer of the year and is a strong fa vorite for the Oaks on June 5. King Edward and other members of the royal family will be present. The latest betting, the odds being quoted against, follows: Norman III. 95 to 20: Mountain Apple. 100 to 14: Sir Archibald. 95 to 10: Sea Sick II, 100 to 17: Perrier and Llangum. 100 to 8: White Eagle. 100 to 7: Vamose. 100 to 6: Orpham. Primer and Mercuto. 100 to 3: Azote. 200 to 1. Amusements What Cb fim Areata Say. "The Halfbreed' at the Baker.

ESTIMATE OF 10,000 ADDITIONAL POPULATION' Southeast Residents of Suburbs Make Water Supply An Issue in the Annexation Election The territory in the southeast affected by the annexation vote comprises four full sections and portions of sections 7, 8. 17 and 18, and adds four square miles of territory to the City of Portland. The population In this territory is estimated a, 10,000. and it- Is growing; rapidly. The four sections include Woodstock, Ivanhoe, Tremont, Tremont Place, Wood mere, Nashville, Arleta, Stewarts and Anabel. All these settlements touch either on the" Mount Scott or the Wood stock carllnes and have ready access to the city through these. Compared with other suburbs of Portland, the growth of this section has equaled that of any o the others. Between four and five years ago there were hardly more than 200 houses in that nf IA ASV MARKET 11 B.IVVU COMPANY A- A FESTIVAL OF ROSES A CARNIVAL OF BARGAINS The Rose Fiesta week is the week of weeks in Portland.

Whyf "Because we sell at 2 pounds for 25 CENTS district. Those were mostly located at Woodstock, Ivanhoe, Tremont, Tremont Place, Firland and Woodmere, but owing to the Inducements offered homemakers, there was a marked settlement of people who bought homes on the installment plan. Lots were sold as low as $3 and $5 down and $5 and $10 per month. Prob ably no suburb in the city contains so many people who have purchased and own their homes as does this territory. Homeowners is estimated at 90 per cent, and even higher. So rapidly has been the increase in pop ulation that it has far outstripped the present water supply, owned and oper ated by the Woodmere Water Company, of which George Brown Is the manager. Besides this general water company, there are several private water plants that sup ply neighborhoods, but the general desire has been for Bull Run water, in the Summer, when the weather is hot, there is a heavy drain on the water supply, and at night there have been times when por tions of the district have been without water; but the Woodmere company has done all it could to furnish water. The campaign for annexation was fought mainly on the. water supply question. Tne people want Bull Run water, and they hope to see a reservoir built on the top of Mount Scott for the second Bull Run pipe line. It is a well-built suburb. The houses are attractive and some are pretentious. There are a number of business houses, attractive church buildings and an S-room schoolhouse. Many Petty Thefts Occur.
