DATES FOR RKCI1G
MEETS TO BE SET
Movement Now on Foot to
Fut Country Club Events
Before State Fair.
CHANGE WILL BE OPPOSED
.rrnngerucnts Are to Be Made for
J-.ntire Pacific Fair Circuit
at Session of Associa
tion xt lYidoy.
The annual meeting of the North Pa
cini; Fair Association will be held In
Portland -xt Friday, -when the election
of officers -will occur, as well as the ap
portionment of dates for the harness
rac? meets next Summer.
Two -week of the allotted racing period
will bo given o Salem and Portland and
the question of Betting the Portland Coun
try Club's dates ahead of the Salem State
Fair events will be the bone of conten
tion between the Oregon delegates. The
members of the Portland Country Club
and livestock Association seem to be di
vided as to the advisability of holding tne
Portland races before or after the meet
in connection wtth the State Fair, and
Just how the matter will be settled will
probably be in doubt until the meet
ing of the association.
The advocates of the plan to hold the
races In Portland before the Salem
events cqntend that tho Portland Country
Club and Livestock Association, being a
young and struggling organization, under
tremendous expense at present, needs the
opening dates much more than 'does the
Salem 2"air. which has been a financial
success for a number of years. In sup
porting their claims to tho opening dates
It Is argued that a large number of
horses brought to the opening meet are
scratched after one entry, and this en
trance fee is denied the promoters of the
following meet.
Portland "eed9 First Meet.
Furthermore, it Is declared the people
"of Oregon will go to the State Fair
whether Portland has the first meet or
not. but that the lovers, of the harness
horse game will not come to Portland
afteT having seen the earlier performances
of the trotters and" pacers at the state
capital.
Last year the opening of the new track
at Rose City Park was marked by the es-
- tabllshment of two new world's records,
and this" a3dad greatly to the interest In
the Portland meet. The attendance, how-
j ever, failed to come up to expectations,
and the previous week's racing at Salem
is blamed for this condition.
The first week of the meet last year
was given to Salem because the Portland
'citfb did not desire the dates. Now some
of the members of the new club say this
was a bad mistake and want it remedied
This year. They assert that the opening
dates mark the first meeting between the
horses bred In the Northwest and the
equine products of California, and should
therefore furnish more keen competition
than was the case last year, when a good
percentage of tne entries received in the
Spring were cancelled because of the fail
ure of the horses to show form in the
' early starts. In this manner several hun
dreds of dollars were lost to Portland and
the club is anxious to have the benefit of
this money on account of its indebted
nets and expense.
Records on Ixx-al Track.
Two new pacing records were estab
lished last year. Ray o' Light, S years
old, circled the Country Club track for a
record of 2:0S"4 for a new track, and Jo
sephine. 4 years old, scored in 2:074.
These marks demonstrated that the new
track was one of the best in the North
west, and the advocates of opening week
here declare that other records could be
established in Portland and give the en
tries at the other tracks something to
strive for during the season.
Any concession that is likely to prove
. beneficial to the Portland association is
demanded y those who want the Port
land meet held first, because of the in
debtedness of the new club. When the
, present stte of the club was purchased
and the buildings erected the organiza
tion borrowed $100,000 on which an annual
, interest- of JT000 must be paid. This
' amount, added to the salary of the pfesi
' dent, manager, secretary, stenographer
and caretaker, brings the total expenses
of the club up to 115.000 without taking
' into consideration needed improvements,
repairs to buildings and the track.
The heavy rains of the Winter have
. played havoc with the track In many
f places, and to put it in condition for rac
I ing when the dry season approaches will
' Involve heavy expense. This, however,
was expected, although had the organlza
, tion been flourishing financially, tt Is
' possible that the damage Inflicted by
the elements could have been prevented
by providing a caretaker with a corps of
: assistants.
! At the meeting of the North Pacific Fair
I Association next Friday, Salem, Eugene,
' 'Walla Walla, Seattle. Spokane, Liewls
; ton. Bellingham and Everett, in addition
to Portland, will be represented, and all
will be assigned dates. In addition to
the apportionment of the racing dates,
I the association will discuss changes lit
I rules and other legislative matters.
I M. D. Wisdom, one of the moving spirits
' in the harness game in the Northwest.
t announced that he expected a larger and
I more enthusiastic attendance this year
i than over before in the history of the
' organization. In regard to the holding of
: the Portland races before those at Sa
i lem, Mr. Wisdom said it would be rather
; unhandy for the California horsemen to
come to Portland and then return to
r Salem. He added that this matter would
i tv adjusted at the meeting and he be-
lleved there would be but little trouMe in
', arranging the dates satisfactorily to all
concerned.

TO RAGE OVER SEA
Americans Attracted by Eng
lish Racing Season.
PROMINENT HORSEMEN GO
Colin and Prlscilllan 'Head List of
I'nbeaten Horses Preparing Tor
Races on British Soil.
After Fancy Prizes.
NEW TORK. Jan. 31. The English
racing season, which begins early in the
Spring, will attract wide attention in this
country because of the large number of
American horses , which will participate.
The decadence of racing here, is a result
of legislation In various states, has re
sulted in many of the best American
horses being shipped abroad, where the
sport is unhampered.
Among the prominent owners who have
sent horses to England are James R.
Keene. August Belmont and Harry Payne
Whitney, while scores of young horses
purchased here by British sportsmen will
make their appearance at the English
tracks.
Colin and Priscllllan, two unbeaten
horses, head the long list of Amerjcan
racers now preparing for the races on
the other side. Other well-known animals
there include Ballot, Fair Play, Dlnna
Ken, Suffragette, Wedding Bells, Sir
Martin, Bobbin, Melisande and Baby
Wolf.
That the English handicapper holds a
high estimate of the American bred run
ners is evident from the fact that Ballot,
Colin, Fair Play and Priscllllan are all
asked to carry In their engagement
pounds more than IJangwn, and Your
Majesty, reckoned' the best English
horses of last year.
Many of the big English stake races
have ellgibles in the American invading
squadron, these including, besides the
Derby, the great English classic, the
Ascot gold cup. the great Jubilee handi
cap, the Lincolnshire handicap, the
Baberahan plate, the metropolitan stakes,
the Liverpool cup, the great Surrey
handicap, the Victoria cup, the Eclipse
stakes and the Jockey Club stakes.
WOULD MEET O'UNELL
DAS SCLLIVAX, FORMER CHAM
PION, WANTS MATCH.
Waits for Local Man to Name
Terms, bnt Doubts He Will
Meet Any But Easy Ones.
Dan. Sullivan, the ex-champion ama
teur middleweight wrestler of the .world,
and who now claims the professional
championship of the Pacific Coast in
that division, is "anxiously awaiting to
hear Instructor O'Connell's terms for a
match. Sullivan claims that as he is
merely passing through Portland and as
CConnell is located. here. It is up to
the latter, to name the terms for a
match, and If they are agreeable to him,
Sullivan, he will accept and meet the
Multnomah instructor. If O'Connell's
proposition Is not suitable, Sullivan says
he will continue to California, where he
will look after the Interests of his brother
who is enjoying considerable success In
.the boxing game.
Speaking of the situation in Portland
last night Sullivan said: "Some people
have the Idea that I am four-flushing
because I do not post any forfeit to back
my assertion that I can beat O'Connell.
I do not believe that It is my place to
post any forfeit. O'Connell claims the
middleweight championship and I think
It is up to him to name the terms upon
which he will consent to meet me. I
dispute his claim and do not think he
la half as good a man as he is made to
appear In the Portland papers. If he Is
sincere and honest in his claims he will
state upon what terms he will agree to
meet me. and If such are not prohibitive
or unsatisfactory to me I shall post my
money and clinch the match immediately.
If his terms are not satisfactory I shall
leave town at once and not bother with
him any more.
"O'Connell has been making some
broad boasts of late," continued Sulli
van. "He says his ambition is to meet
Dr. Roller, of Seattle, and boasts of
having beaten Mike Dwyer. If he will
agree to meet me in the event that I
defeat Dwyer I will take the "old fel
low" on and beat him Just to satisfy
O'Connell, but I want to put such an
agreement in writing. As for his talk
of taking on Roller, why don't he take
on Berg or Franklin, who are not as
heavy as Roller, and each agrees "to
throw O'Connell five times in one hour?
Mr. O'Connell has side-stepped me so
much that I do not believe he sincerely
wants to meet any one except the men
he picks out himself. His last match
showed that to me, at least, for Riley.
is not a wrestler and "never was rated
as anything at all.
"Why. I will bet that Edgar Frank,
were he able to meet a professional,
could beat Riley as easily as did O'Con
nell. Homer Tilly, whom Frank once
defeated, has beatm Riley, two falls In
11 minutes. I think it is up to Mr.
O'Connell to talk business, and if I meet
him I'll risk all I have that I beat him,
and will guarantee that the people of
Portland will see a wrestling match
for once."

FAND0M AT RANDOM
LARRT SCHLAFLET, the former sec
ond baseman of the Portland Pa
cTfic Coast League club, has had more
than his share of hard luck in the past
two seasons. While he was manager
of the Toronto club he sustained a
broken ankle, which put him out of
the game and lost hliri his managerial
berth.
Schlafley's latest misfortune was to
have one of his feet frozen while at
tending the funeral of a friend near
Springfield, Ohio, and now he is walk
ing around on crutches. He is slated
to play second base for Newark next
season, and has written the manager of
that club that he hopes to be on hand
at the opening.
While with the Portland team
Schlafley had the distinction of mak
ing a triple play unassisted on the
Vaughn-street grounds. The play hap
pened in July, 1905, and the Seattle
club was the opponent. With first and
second occupied, the batter slammed
a line drive at Schlafley, who touched
the base and then ran the third player
down between second and first.
'
"Happlcus" Hogan, erstwhile Los An
geles comedian, now manager of Ver
non's baseball hopes, is dreaming se
renely of securing Ossee Schreckongost
from the Chicago American League
club. Some one slipped it hot to Hap
that Charley Comlskey would let him
have Catcher Weaver, and in some
manner Hogan weaved Weaver into
Schreckongost. At latest writing Hap
py and Vernon still had hopes.
Portus Baxter, one of. the official
press agents for Seattle, and things
pertaining to Seattle, entertains great
fear that Spokane is about to slip
something over on the balance of the
Northwestern League clubs. However,
this expression of fear is merely Por
tus' gentle metho of stirring up In
terest in "baseball, and Joe Cohn will
probably not resent being called a live
one even by a Seattle scribe.
DUCK- SEASON IS ENDED
Hunters Have Not Found Birds So
Plentiful as Usual. , -
The nlmrods of Portland and other
parts of the state, except Coos and Lake
counties, will put up their guns until
September 1, for the season on ducks Is
now closed to hunters. In Coos County
the slaughter of ducks will be permitted
again on August 1, while in Lake County
the season remains open until April 1,"
after which it will be illegal to shoot
ducks until August 15. It Is possible
that the open season on ducks will be
rearranged by the present session of the
Legislature so that it will be uniform
throughout the state.
It is generally admitted that ducks
have not been as plentiful as in past
years, yet those who own preserves ex
press themselves as satisfied with the
supply.
Shooting clay pigeons will now become
a favorite means of disposing of surplus
ammunition, as well as keeping the eye
and the trigger finger in practice during
the oft season. Trap shooting promises
to enjoy a most successful season this
year, for a number of expert scatter-gun
artists are now residents of Portland and
are ambitious to enter the local1 com
petitions. RACES OPEN TONIGHT.
Ladles Admitted Free Tonight;
Exposition Rink.
The big six days' race will "start tonight
at nine and will last for thirty minutes.
The racers are all on hand and in good
condition. It will be an exciting event.
Ladles will be admitted free tonight.
TOUR. OF STATE
ADVANCE NOT GREAT
Groceries Only, Little Higher

SOME EXCEPTIONS NOTED
Eggs, Flour and Potatoes Have
Gone Skyward, and Practically
All Commodities Show Big 'In
crease During Five Years.
Much is heard of the high cost of
living now, but, so far as the prices
of foodstuffs go, the commodities that
enter into regular consumption, with a
few exceptions, cost the householder
but little more than they did a year
ago, or two years ago, at this time.
Still there is a little increase, and
when this Is added to the high rents
and the steep price of fuel, the sum
total is such as to be felt by the aver
age salaried man. When compared
with the prices of five years ago, how
ever, the higher living charges be
come evident. Below are compared
the Portland wholesale prices of some
of the' leading commodities:

Midwinter is not a time for cheap
prices of food products anywhere, and
when the situation is aggravated by
unusual weather conditions, such as
this country experienced recently, it
can readily be seen how certain values
are affected. This was particularly the
case in the Portland egg market, where
sky-high quotations have prevailed,
and caused some people to believe that
everything els is unduly expensive.
The principal reason for the spurt in
the egg market was not the scarcity
of Oregon, but of Eastern eggs. There
are never enough Oregon eggs here in
the Winter to keep the trade going,
and when the supply of Eastern eggs
also gives out. prices have to go up.
That Is what happened here. Not
knowing that a cold wave was coming
which would interrupt the movement
from the Eastern States, the distribu
tors allowed their supply to run low,
and when they could not replenish it,
found themselves practically without
eggs. In order to supply their cus
tomers, the jobbers have been com
pelled to bring up eggs from Cali
fornia, and also to draw upon Seattle's
Eastern stock. California did not
have many eggs to spare, as was shown
by the advance in the San Francisco
market caused by the Portland orders,
nor was there much to be had in Seat
tle. A fair supply of eggs is now on
the way to Portland from the East,
and this will probably put the market
down again to a reasonable basis.
Egg Production Gains Slowly.'
The egg production in Oregon is
gradually increasing, but it Is not keep
ing pace with the growth of popula
tion. The high price of feed is partly
responsible for this condition.
Another article showing a sharp ad
vance over the price of a year ago Is
flour.' When the wheat situation in the
Northwest Is considered this . causes no
surprise. With wheat at $1 a bushel it
is rather a wonder that the price is
not even higher. Only the fact that
the extreme cost., restricts the consump
tion probably prevents it from going up
again. Wheat Is high because the sup
ply In the Pacific Northwest Is almost
exhausted. With a light crop to begin
with, early shipments to Europe were
unusually heavy, and now., with the new
crop five months away, there is barely
enough grain left to meet the demand
for home consumption and seeding. In
some of the interior sections it is said
there is not enough grain left even for
seeding purposes. This state of affairs,
together with a belated demand from
California, has made the Portland wheat
market strong and independent of all
other markets, and so flour is corre
spondingly high.
The potato is, another article that has
suddenly become expensive because ot
weather conditions. The recent freeze
damaged a large part of the Oregon
crop and the floods In California, by
reducing the supply in that state, have
created a demand for what is left here
which Is likely to force prices steadily
upward during the rest of the season.

Different doctors have different ideas in regard
to cures. Some call a suppression of symptoms
a cure. They dose for drug effects and claim
that nothing more can be done. But the real
ailment remains, and will bring the real symp
toms back again, perhaps the same -as before,
but very likely leave the patient In a much
worse condition. I claim that nothing less than
complete eradication of disease can be a real
cure. I treat to remove the disease, and not
merely the- symptoms. I search out every root
and fiber of an ailment, and I cure to stay cured.
Weakness
I not only cure "weakness" promptly, but I em
ploy the only treatment that can possibly cure
this disorder permanently. It is a hystcm of
local treatment entirely original with me. and
Is employed by no physician other than myself.
This may seem a broad assertion, but It is Just
as substantial as it is broad. So-called "weak
ness" is but a symptom of local Inflammation
or congestion, and a radical cure is merely a
matter of restoring normal conditions through
out the organic svstem. and this I accomplish
thoroughly and with absolute certainty.
Stricture
My treatment Is absolutely pain
less, and perfect results can be de
pended upon in every instance. I
do no cutting or dilating whatever.
