ASSISTANT AT HORSE SHOW Famous New York Whip Enthusl astlc Over West and Future of Driving Here Chose Harrlman Horses. Samuel El Kramer, America's crack four-in-hand driver and New York's fa moos whip, arrived In Portland yes terday from Seattle, and at once began active duty as assistant to President T. S. McGrath for the October Horse Show.

Local sportsmen and women will have oppor Snmnel K. Kramer, Who Will Manage Appointments of Port land Hone Show. tunity through him to learn how properly to handle pairs or road fours. Hla pres ence at this time will mean that there will be many high-class entries which otherwise would fro by default. Any one who is in doubt as to proper equipment is at liberty to consult Mr. Kramer, forhe is long on such points and has the dis tinction of having equipped the stables of many of the beet-known millionaires of the East. Chose Harrlman Horses. Among the prominent stables which were outfitted under Mr. Kramer's per sonal supervision are those or El H.

"A handsome pair or team withdut cor rect appointments looks as deplorable to the sportsman as a man in evening dress and tan shoes," said Mr. Kramer yester day. 'It Is just as easy to purchase correct equipment as otherwise, and if people going in for fine horses will only bear in mind that It is an easy matter to learn just what Is correct, there will be no mis takes to rectify. Your Western cities seem to be going In for fine horses lately, and I expect ' to see many handsomely appointed turnouts here in the immediate future, added to the fine start Portland has, as well as Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane. Aniniaj9 From -Europe. 'I brought out a fine shipment of high- class horses from New York when I came, some Tf them having been import ed. All were eagerly bought up on the Sound, and you will probably see most of them here at your October Horse Show. Four handsome chestnuts which were brought out for Mr. Treat, and which he will exhibit in Portland, were originally owned In Portland by W. G. Brown. They are magnlncent animals and will be much admired." Mr. Kramer will act as special Judge of appointments and equipment at the Seattle Horse Show, only the fact that he is the original purchaser of so many of the animals there barring him from the position of Judge of horses at that event. He Is enthusiastic over the West, and especially over the future of driving here.

The country it self is beautiful, and the trip is a de lightful one, embodying all kinds of scenery and roads, from long, smooth stretches, where fast time ls possible, to extremely hilly country, where one must be careful. The route lies by way of Newberg, MeMinnville, Sheri dan and over the mountains Into Tilla mook, a distance of about 60 miles.

INSPECTS MOFFAT SURVEY ROCK ISLAX'D OFFICIAL MAKES MYSTERIOUS TRIP. Revives Rumor That Latter Road Seeks Control of Denver-Salt Lake Line. SALT LAKE CITY. Aug. 18. A special from Vernal, Utah, says : The rumor that the Rock Island system was seeking control 'of the Moffat Road, which is now being built from Denver to Salt Lake City, has been revived by the recent trip of E. J. Perry, general super intendent of the Kansas City, Springfield & Clinton Road, a part of the Rock Island system, over a portion of the surveyed route for the new road. ' Mr. Perry drove from Vernal nearly 150 miles Into the country east and over the route to be used by the Moffat line. The Rock Island has long wanted to secure an entrance into Salt Lake City, and as the Moffat road would offer this opportunity. Mr. Perry's Journey Is looked upon as something more than a pleasure trip. WHISKY IS ONLY ISSUE (Continued From First Page.) no man live Jn history and in the hearts of the people who does not stand for th highest moral sentiment of his day. Boss Becomes JMctator. The makers of the Federal Constitution wisely provided that once in four years the people ehould have an opportunity, through the election of a President and a Houee of Representatives, to record the advance made In morals and adopt new and necessary methods of government. If one or more po litical "parties are to be kept in power 25 or SO years, each succeeding administration car rying out tne policy oi tne past ana reiusing to enact into law the progress attained, then euch party or parties have violated the very snirit of the Constitution ami turnea our democracy into despotism, making the politi cal boss dictator. We are dangerously near that condition- of things in the pending Presidential campaign. The attempt made by the Republican and Democratic parties to create a fictitious issue is the most farcical in our history, in the face of the fart that during tne paet four years the question of the prohibition of the liquor traffic has attracted wider attention of t he press and the people than all other puoiic issues combined. The calm thought and common sense or the mora) citizenship have pronounced sentence of death upon the liquor traffic, and the only thing that stays Us execu tion is the protective oare of these two old political parties, kept alive by blind political party prejudice. Quotes Washington and Lincoln. He then quoted from George Washing ton's farewell address the warning against blind party spirit. He declared that there was a disposition among the old parties to ignore and belittle the higher problem. He quoted as justification for pressing this issue to the front, a speech delivered by Lincoln at Springfield. 111., on Febru ary 22, 1842, In which the future Presi dent declared that a temperance revolu tion would break a stronger bondage than that which was broken In 1776. He then turned to the platform of his party and said: I have studied the platforms of all other political parties, ours gives the voter tne only opportunity he will have this year to cast his ballot against the liquor traffic. and for other reforms being earnestly de manded by the American people. The lofty ideals of twentieth century statesmanship call for a United States Sen ate born of an intelligent peoples con science instead of mocking statues sur rounding the pedestals of concentrated wealth : the equalization of public burdens by a system that will compel tne rich to nay their proper proportion of the costs or government. a graduated income and nherltance tax will be a long step in this direction. The development of the trusts has changed entirely all-the old theories of a protective tariff and free trade, and the people demand legislation in tneir inter est on this 'mDortant matter, which can best be worked out by a permanent tariff commission. We are the only party that strikes a blow at the social evil, so closely allied to the liquor traffic; and propose the only practical method of stemping out polygamy throughout the Nation by a uni form marriage and divorce law. While not a line of history will be changed by the election of a Republican or Democrat, the triumph of the Prohibition party and the placing of Its platform in the constitution and upon the statute book will write the longest, brightest, purest and most beneficent chapter of history that has marked the progress of civilisation sines governments were Instituted among men. At a meeting of the National commit tee in the afternoon plans for the cam paign of the Prohibition party were dis cussed.

Blows in Second., TWO QUICK KNOCK-DOWNS Michigan Man's Feint Secures Open ing Which Its In Shower of ' Blows and Sends Thomas to Floor for Count. " SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18. After about one minute and a half of fighting In the second round tonight, Stanley Ketchel, of Grand Rapids, Mich., put out Joe Thomas, of this city, with a shower of punches to the Jaw and body. In tha tlrst round Thomas landed a couple of punches to the body, which seemed to give him confidence. Ketchel backed Thomas Into a. corner, made a half shift and caught Joe on the side of the head with a hard left-hand punch. Ketchel then feinted Thomas wide open and sent in a fierce right-hander on the stomach, putting Thomas down for the count of seven. IVhen Joe arose, Ketchel sent him down 'again with hard rights and lefts to the body and jaw. The gong saved Thomas from going out in this round. His right eye was entirely closed from one of Ketchel's smashes. When Thomas toed the scratch for the second round it was only a question of how long he could stand in front of the hurricane fighter from Michigan. Ketchel rushed Thomas and, after a moment's sparring, sent him to the can vas for the count of eight. Thomas' head rested on the floor, while he was on his knees. By a game effort he drew himself together and again faced Ketchel. The latter was bent on finish ing the fight as quickly as possible. Ketchel rushed Thomas to the ropes and hammered him unmercifully about the body and head. Thomas managed to get out of a bad position and danced away to the center of tha ring, with Ketchel right on top of him. Ketchel tried a left swing for the jaw. but Thomas drew back. Stanley then rushed to close quarters. Joe crouched and Ketchel sent in a stinging left uppercut to the Jaw and followed it with a hard right to the body. Thomas gradually sank to the floor, falling on his right side. He remained in that position for a couple of seconds and then rolled over, absolutely helpless. Ref eree Smith had counted nine over him when Captam Anderson of the Police De partment, motioned Smith to stop the en counter. Thlmas had absolutely no chance to continue the fight. After the fight was over, Thomas said he had no idea what happened after he received the first punch in the stomach.

The meeting was called to consider the bridge question- . . O. E. Heinta said that action should be taken at once to rebuild the bridge, and build it as high as possible on the present location. He suggested that the bridge could be rebuilt 25 feet high er than the present structure by mov ing the dsaw further out in the river. and then in iuiure as, mi with which to build an approach above the tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. W. I Boise called attention to the fact that the present bridge appropria tion of $450,000 carried with it a pro vision requiring the street railway company pay all the interest on the bond issue, relieving the taxpayers of that much cost. Frank J. Perkins said that as far as his investigations went, the bridge can be built 25 feet higher on present landings. 'The approaches on the East Side might be built above the tracks later on. H. W. Hodges, of the Mount Tabor Improvement Club, said that club favored the building of Madison-street bridge on Its present location. U E. Rice, delegate from the Waverly-Rlch-mond Club, also said the bridge should not be moved from Hawthorne avenue. Mr. Boise raid that the street railway company would have to expend J100, D00 in relaying its tracks on Haw thorne avenue when the new pavement is laid. Besides, to move the bridge would make it necessary to swing around six blocks in order to reach the West SIdi and removal of the FROM" Clatsop Beach VIA THE ASTORIA AND COLUMBJA RIVER RAILROAD 8 -ME TOUR J bridge would entail great loss. M. G. Griffin spoke for retaining the bridge on the present location. A. Van Hoomissen, who has worked for a bridge at East Mill and Second, spoke earnestly for that location, where, he said, a bridge 55 feet above . high water could be built, and that it would meet the needs of the public for years to come. Although he talked with force he could not change the sentiment of the meeting. It was the consensus of opinion that It would not be safe to ask for another and larger bond issue, owing to the many other bond issues already pro vided for, besides the others to be re quested. Therefore it was decided that the present location should be retained and that as high a bridge as possible should be built with the J450.O00 bond issue. O. E. Helntz, L. E. Rice and Frank J. Perkins were appointed to investigate and find out through engineers how much higher a bridge can be bulll, and whether the erection of an approach on the East Siile can he built above all tracks as far- as Union avenue by means o an additional appropriation, and report ut the meeting next Tuesday night. Nothing was said about the Sherman street bridge project of the South Port land people. It being considered an en terprise entirely apart from the Madison-street bridge, which must be re built as scon as possible or be con demned and closed as dangerous. low Rates to Chicago.
