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.
Mr. Kramer is mora in demand through
out the country as an authority on cor
rect driving and appointments, as well
as an expert Instructor in correct hand
ling of the ribbons, than any of the well-
known whips, and he is welcomed witn
more than ordinary enthusiasm. Local
sportsmen and women will have oppor

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. Har
rlman, the oelectlon of all horses and
appointments having been made by him,
from polo ponies to road fours. He also
gave Mrs. and Miss Harrlman Instruction
in driving, they afterwards finishing their
course abroad. They are now rated as
the foremost women whips of America.
"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. With our many good roads and the (
wealth of this city he sees no reason why
Portland should not rank with the best
in the land when it comes to smart turn
outs. He and Mr. McGrath are taking up
the good work of last yearvith an earn
estness that can only mean success. Any
one wanting Information of Mr. Kramer
will find him at the Hunt Club headquar

Members May Make a Visit to Tilla

Member of the Automobile Club are
considering a visit to Tillamook next
Saturday to show their appreciation of
the work that has been done on the
roads in that vicinity. 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.
The roads as far as Sheridan are ex
cellent and good time can be made to
that point. From there on there Is
but little chance to speed, but by some
this is considered the more delightful
part of the trip, on account of the
splendid ccenery and mountain air.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

BRIDGE FUND TO BE USED
CITIZEN'S DECIDE NOT TO SEEK
MOKE MONEY.
Structure Will Be Built as High as
Possible With $450,000
Now Available,
The United East Side Push Club, at
its meeting last night, decided that it
would not be safe to ask for another
bond Issue for the rebuilding of the
Madison-street bridge, and that the
present appropriation of J450.000 should
be used for the work. 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

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.
