PORTUVNO DAT AT PACIFIC SA TlOJf AI MEET TODAY. Tht i Portland day at ths PaclHo National meet. The beat programme of the vnk. next to Saturdays, has been arranged, and tnoladea some of the beet racing- aver scheduled on a Western track. The racing pro gramme Includes the 2:09 pace for the Rose City puree of 12300. In which the crack horses of the coast have been entered. A field of 11 entries will take the word In this event. There will be other ractn events besides the mile handicap dash of thoroughbreds. College Maid, the guldeless wonder, will attempt to lower the record she made Mon day. The exhibit of shorthorn cattle begins at 9 o'clock this morning and Judging of blooded stock will con tinue throughout the day. Smashing- of racing records and awarding: of premiums In the greatest stock show that has ever been held on the Pacific Coast were prominent fea tures of the second day's programme of the Portland Country Club and Live stock Association he Pacific National Show at the scenic grounds of the club yesterday. On the track a Pacific Coaat record was shattered and a new one substi tuted: at the stock show began the dis tribution of premiums amounting to K0.000. which helped to assemble herds of blooded stock which excel not only in numbers but In breed even the magnificent show at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Expect Big Crowds Today. And the attendance Indicated that Portland has Anally begun to realize that its new show and track are at tracting National attention. A far larger crowd passed through the gates yesterday than on the Inaugural day. and with the aid of the programme scheduled for today, it is confidently expected by the management that to day's attendance will nil the grand stand, bleachers and grounds. It was early In the forenoon yester day when visitors to the grounds began to arrive. Stock judging, as had been announced, began early In the day. and those who are Interested in such events swarmed to the grounds. Especial in terest attaches to the cattle exhibits because of Interstate rivalry, and ad mirers of the various breeds attended in numbers. Big herds are competing from Ore gon. Washington and California, and from other states; but the rivalry be tween the Oregon and California herds has attracted more than the average amount of Interest In such contests. Interest In Stock Display. Throughout the forenoon and a por tion of the afternoon space in the vi cinity of the barns and paddocks was crowded with humanity, for there is perhaps more to see In the way of thoroughbred and blooded animals than has ever been offered at a Western show. The chicken exhibit, swine, goats, sheep, and all the various de partments, had their share of attention, for In the crowd there were many breeders and fanciers of each. An example of the Interest that has been aroused as the result of the es tablishment of the show here is the big herd of horses sent by an Eastern breeder. His exhibit of 60 head occu pies an entire barn and Is estimated to be worth $150,000. An Oregon breeder has half a barn full of his own standard-bred horses, from sucklings up to prise-winners. In the shorthorn department, for in stance, one breeder has on exhibition a bull for which he paid a record price of 3500. The animal is a champion and a sire of champions. The short horn exhibit, by the way, will begin this morning at 9 o'clock. World's Champion Dairy Cow. In the cattle barn, dairy division, there is Loretta D. pronounced at the World's Fair at St. Louis to be the world's champion dairy cow. In the liolsteln division, there is the famous bull which was declared champion at the Lewis and Clark Fair, and there is also a large family of his descend ants. The track in the afternoon was the big attraction of the day. And its peed has attracted the attention of horsemen all over the country. By Col onel Harriman, the starter, it Is pro nounced to be the fastest on this Coast and not excelled by any on the grand circuit. The few events that have been run over the oval demonstrate its speed, and yesterday, in the first race, the Pacific Coast record for 3-year-old pacers was broken by Ray o' Light. In the two brief days of Its history, better records have been made on the local track than have been made at the crack new track at Chlco. considered the fastest track in California. Today. It is expected, other records will be broken, for some of the fastest horses In the country have been en tered for the big Rose City purse. The guloelcjs mare. College Maid, is also expected to lower the record she estab lished on the track the opening ay. r Judges Start on Awards.

I Carlyle, dean of the Colorado Agricul tural College. Is enthusiastic. He Is act ing as judge of draft and coach horses and driving breeds, and said yesterday: "The visitor from the Middle West, In attendance at the great Pacific National show, being held this week at the grounds of the Portland Country Club, Is not sssessessseeeeeeeeeeeseeeseeessssssseseesssesesssseeeeese seess I , , .,,w-w-.., r "-r - ee-. - - -J, : v. - ir PW-'vit f life r MTH S SPECTATORS WATCHING greatly astonished at the success of the management of this show in this, their initiai exhibition of livestock. "We of the inland states have become accustomed to expecting great things of Portland and Portland's business men since the great Lewis and Clark exposition, a few years ago, yet, notwithstanding our expecta tions we must marvel at thS wonderful achievements of the board of directors of the club in what they have accom plished in a few short months. "The grounds and racetrack are most admirably located and when the plans for grounds are fully completed, they will not be excelled in any part of this continent. While we were not disap pointed in the enterprise of a few of Portland's business men, we ere centainly disappointed in the lack of appreciation shown bv the citizens of Portland in this great show. Surely the citizens of this great metropolis eannot realize what a truly great exhibition of livestock Is be ing held In their midst, nor can they fuyy appreciate what the success of this stock show will mean to this city or they would avail themselves of this oppor tunity of not only seeing this magniricent exhibit of the best herds and flocks of the Pacific Coast and at the same time encourage the promoters of this most laudable enterprise to continue in their good work. "In Judging the draft and coach horse classes today. I was surprised and de lighted with the quality of the exhibits that had been bred and reared here on the Pacific Coast. The home-bred horses In nearly every class carried off the pre mier honors over the animals imported from far-off France, Germany and Great Britain. It certainly must have been JUDGING HORSES AT THE gratifying to all visitors at the fair to day to see the excellence and quality of their home-bred animals when compared with those but recently imported. The lesson to be learned from this exhibition is all-important, if heeded, viz: that the time is not far distant If your people but avail themselves of their Incomparable climate and natural environment for the production of superior livestock, before Oregon and Washington will be export ing breeding stock to the great Central West instead of, as now, shipping in large numbers of breeding animals. "The time is ripe! Will your people awaken to your great possibilities In this direction and will the good people of Portland and vicinity awaken to their privilege and duty In the matter by en couraging this great Industry of live stock production which Is destined to mean so much to your fair city?"

THE FINISH OF A RACK AT THE OFFICIALS WILL NOT RESIGN POIICE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN DENIES RTJMOR. Executive Board Expected to Act on Contracts Held by Pacific Bridge Company. Thomas G. Greene, chairman ,of the police committee of the City Executive Board, has branded as false the rumor that he is contemplating the tendering of his resignation to Mayor Lane. Like wise. D. A. Pattullo, a member of the street committee, and chairman of the lighting committee, denied that he Is considering similar action. Mayor Lane authorized the statement that he had heard nothing of any such action, and that he thought both men would re main on the board. "The rumor that I intend to resign from the Executive Board Is a lie, and I don't see why anyone would say such a thing," said Mr. Greene. "It is abso lutely untrue, as I do not contemplate any such action." The rumors that were current were undoubtedly caused by the resignation of Robert L. Sabin, chairman of the 6treet committee, who had a clash with PACIFIC NATIONAL MEET. Mayor Lane over some East Side fills last Saturday. The resignation was accepted by the Mayor, who will fill the vacancy In the near future. The action of Mr. Sabin caused com ment In offilcal circles, as he is one of the most prominent business men in Portland, and had served as a mem ber of the Executive Board for three years, devoting much time and labor to PACIFIC NATIONAL MEET. the interests of the city without com pensaiion. Genuine regret was ex pressed by many city officials yester day over his retirement Mr. Pattullo, who is a member of the street committee, was indirectly in volvedln the differences which arose between Mr. Sabin and Mayor Lane, but he stated yesterday that he does not Intend to resign from the Board. He 6aid he did not fully understand why Mr, Sabin resigned, and hoped matters were amicably adjusted, so that no fur ther trouble will occur In the Board. Relative to the information furnished by Mayor Lane, to the effect that the Pacific Bridge Company, contractors for the East Side fills, over which the trouble arose, officers of the company yesterday declined to enter Into any argument. The Mayor- said he had been informed t!hat the company, through its president, who Is a member of the Port of Portland Commission, caused the Port dredge to be moved from the har bor in order to allow the company's dredge to be installed. This, it was said, was done so that the company could seoure dirt for the fills much cheaper. The Executive Board will meet next Friday afternoon, and at that time some further action may be taken by the members relative to the contracts held by the Pacific Bridge Company. Canada Road Officers Here. Robert Kerr, passenger traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with headquarters at Montreal, spent yester- day In Portland after having visited friends In the Willamette Valley. M. G. Murphy, of Winnipeg, general traveling passenger agent for the Canadian line, was also in the city yesterday, leaving last night for home. Mr. Kerr will go north today on his way back to Montreal. The average yearly milk yield of each cow is 4O0 gallons. COVEY MOTOR CAR CO. I JOYCES AJfD MAYS HEARIXG IS POSTPONED 30 DAYS. Land Fraud Defendants tinder Con viction to File Transcript Sup porting IVrit of Error. Echoes from the Oregon land-fraud prosecutions were gathered yesterday from orders made by United States Judge Wolverton In the Federal Court. In the case of the United States against Wlllard N. Jones and Franklin Pierce Mays, an extension in time of 30 days was granted to defendants to complete and file their transcript. . , Jones and Mays were convicted In the United States Court September 13, 1906, on 'a charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government of its public lands In connec tion with the Blue Mountain Forest Re serve case. Mays was sentenced to serve four months In the Multnomah County Jail and to pay a fine of $10,000 while Jones received a sentence of eight months in the same prison and was fined JG000. Following their conviction both of the defendants appealed their case to the Cir cuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Cir cuit which affirmed the Judgment of conviction. As a. final recourse, the de fendants filed a writ of error and it will be on that question that the argument will be had at the expiration of the 30 days additional time which has been granted. Argument on demurrers to the com plaints in the cases of the United States against Robinson and Miller have been set for Thursday, September 24, by Judge Wolverton. Both of these are suits brought by the Government to cancel the patents to lands acquired by the defend ants and which were included originally in the timberlands unlawfully acquired by Si A. D. Puter and his confederates in the "24-1" case. The defendants in these suits are resisting the efforts of the Government to recover the lands in controversy on the grounds that the stat ute of limitation has run against the ir regular acquisition of the lands by Puter and on further defense that the defend ants in the pending suits were Innocent purchasers of the land. Transfer of Callender Suit. The suit of C. H. Callender against the Oregon Mills Company of Warren ton vesterday was transferred from the State Circuit Court for Clatsop County to the United States Court. This is a proceeding brought by Callender to recover from the lumber manu facturing firm the sum of 12,21.44. with Interest charges, an alleged bal ance due on a contract for the delivery of 7,000,000 feet of saw logs. C. G. Fulton, brother of Senator Fulton, ap pears as attorney for the plaintiff. MUSLIN UNDERWEAR. 1000 sample pieces muslin underwear, gowns, corset covers, skirts, drawers, chemise, etc., on sale today at 60c on the dollar. Beautiful lace and em broidery trimmed styles. See our Third-street window. McAllen & Mc Donnell. Third and Morrison. Indications of an early report and com pletion of the work for the present term are being shown by the county grand Jury. It was expected that a report would be made to the Circuit Court yes terday afternoon, for activity has been lagging for two days. However, it is learned from an authorltlve source that five cases remain to be examined and It is probable that these will be probed before the return Is made. It Is regarded possible that this work will be ended to day or tomorrow. At least a report Is to be expected before the end of the week. For the most part the grand Jury's time has been taken up with the regular order of criminal cases, robbery, larceny, assault and batten', and similar charges from the Municipal Court. It Is known, however, that tlie Jury has gone well outside the regular channels in its explo rations. For instance, the operation of the Kelly Butte rock pile has prcoeeded as previously recorded, but there are yet some witnesses to be examined along that line. It is said that the Jury as oeen favorably impressed with the conduct of the rock pile and that no scandal is likely to result. "Whitney Jj. Boise was among those to be called before the Jury yesterday. He was questioned concerning alleged short ages in accounts of the Hawthorne es tate. His sister-in-law, Mrs. Collins, also was before the Jury to tell what she knew of Boise's connection with the Haw thorne property. Among the other cases that have been considered 'by the grand Jury Is that of Dr. Courtney, charged with man slaughter in having performed an unlaw ful operation that ended fatally. Court ney had a number of friends appear for him to describe the excellent reputation he bore prior to the death of the patient. Jeremiah Bronaugh. a lawyer, appeared at the solicitation of H. E. Preble, who told of an attempt to extort money from him. The status of the case cannot be definitely foretold. It is said that evi dence is being gathered connecting a former district official with misconduct during his term of office. District At torney Cameron refuses to discussthe rumor, which Is most persistent. CREDITORS WANT PROPERTY Demand Made to Satisfy Claims Against Bankrupt Corporation. C. V. Dolph, as trustee in bankruptcy for the Art Furniture Manufacturing Company, yesterday filed suit in the Circuit Court to impeach notes, mort gages and a Circuit Court Judgment foreclosing the mortgage against M. I Beach, receiver for the Art Furniture Manufacturing Company, and the Mer chants' Savings & Trust Company. It Is alleged by Trustee Dolph that H. I. Chapln. president of the company, gave the corporation's note for $5175 and also a chattel mortgage for their stock of goods without consideration, and a note and mortgage for $936 to Robert Andrews. ' These mortgages were assigned to the Merchants' Savings & Trust Com pany, and that company brought suit to foreclose. It secured Judgment and decree and the property was placed In the hands of the Sheriff to satisfy tho Judgment. An injunction was se cured in the Federal Court restraining the Sheriff from selling the property, and Dolph now asks that the Judgment be set aside and the property turned over to him for the benefit of the creditors. Expressman Brings Suit. Charging Mason, Ehrroan & Co. with malicious arrest, W. A. Cecil filed suit in the Circuit Court yesterday asking $2500 damages. Cecil Is an expressman and says in his complaint that he was wrongfully arrested last May, charged with the larceny of five sacks of granu lated sugar. D. Beckett, who swore to the complaint against Cecil, Is made a defendant in the action. Cecil charges he was kept In Jail until his trial. May IS, when Judge Cameron dismissed the suit. He estimates the damage to his business reputation at S3500. A peculiar fact Is that cattle fed with a csrtaln amount of bean cake in their food produce milk which contains from T to 8 per csnt buttsr fat. while the ordinary cow's milk contains only about S to per cent of fat.
