Smlthson. winner of the hlBh flights
at the I-ondon Olympiad, made appli
cation for a transfer from Los An-a-eles
back to the Wlnsred "M" shortly
before departing Tor Honolulu a lew
weeks ago and Is training assiduously.
He sron the Coast championship last
Auerust 13 at the Astoria Centennial
frames.
Bellah won the Coast pole vault cxar
shlp and two others at the same meet
under the color of the Olympic Club of
San Francisco, but It was In the Na
tional meet at Plttsbura- that he
gained moat fame, tielna- for the 111
American title. He. too. Is now a
member of the Multnomah Club and
m ill compete for the winded "M."
Walsh belongs to the Seattle Athletic
Club and while there Is some question
as to his eligibility to compete for any
but British clubs, the but Irishman
may be found In the fold at Kan Fran
cisco. He won the hammer and 6
pound welarht pennants at Pittsburg
last Bummer.
'Mlie Murphy, the veteran Penn
sylvania conditioner, will train the
Olympic team again." said T. Morrl
' I'unne. the Portland man who Is on the
team selection committee for the West
ern division, yesterday. "It will be
managed by Mat. Halpln. of the New
York Athletic Club.
The American team will be chosen
from the athlete making- the best
showings In the three different meets.
Boston. Chicago and San Francisco,
but." addd Mr. Dunne, "the winning of
an event doe not signify that an
athlete has a cinch on a place.
"The wrestling- will be all Graeco
Rnman style so the Multnomah Club,
will Itkely hold a Graeco-Roman tour
nament soon ao aa to show the boy a
the distinction from the catch-as-catch-can.
The weight division are aa fol
low: Feather. 13S pounds limit; light.
149 pounds; middle (a). 1SS pounds;
middle b). 3 pounds: heavy, above
1S pounds. Kdgar Frank can make
12 so the scale will work quite a
hardship on him but as ha expert to
Ke back East anyway I expect to see
him enter the preliminaries."

"Those who have been assigned the
task of selecting America's Olympic
team have a Herculean Job on their
hands." writes Walter Eckersall In the
Chicago Trtbune. Yea. and no. Yankee
athletes have always shown their class
In the International meet and the
committee on selection will have a snap
compared to that assigned to the sub
scription delegation. It really should
be comparatively easy to bundle to
gether a swell bunch of blue bloods
after the corralling; of the shekels has
been completed.
In actual records the fnlted Statea

tion of the broad-Jumj. England also
has a splendid mark In the 440-mlle
dash. F. G. Black having negotiated
the quarter in 49 4-S when the Ameri
can and English universities met. In
the short sprints the Americans seem
to have the best of all the countries
and the Americans also are forging
ahead In the hurdles, and weights and
hammer throw. Furthermore men like
W. C. Paull or Paul Jones should take
the mile easily, while we have Melvln
Sheppard for the shorter distances and
Matt M.Orath for the hammer and
weight events.
Indian athletes have been enjoying
a great year In all the line of en
deavor In which speed, endurance and
cunning and pore grit axe the vital
factors. Bender and Meyers shone In
the baseball calcium and then there
shot across the football horlion Jim
Thorpe, of Carlisle, ene of the greatest
athletic marvels of the age and an
Olympic certainty.
But In horse stealing the redskin
apparently has lost his eunnlng. as
witness the arrest of Bam Morris,
former Portland pitcher, at Lewlston.

The Barometric editorial srribw evi
dently overlooks the fact that athletic
relation were severed through the
medium of a resolution passed by tha
students of the Oregon Agricultural
College. This being the case. In the
Interests of fair dealing. It would seem
to be up to the said Corvallls students
to start the ball rolling by rescind
ing the obnoxious resolution.
A football game for 1911 seems out
of the question, owing to the latenes
of the day, but with Whitman, Wash
ington State and Idaho threatening to
withdraw baseball and basketball
teams from the conference, Oregon and
the Oregon Aggie owe It to themselvea
to patch up their differences at the
earliest possible time. Otherwise the
adage about "biting the nose off to
spite the face. etc" still goes.

C. Ii. Smith, Civil War Veteran and
Pioneer Tiller of Soil, Blames
Idleness for Failures More
Dairying Is Vrgcd.
Opportunities for beneficial and ef
fective work through well-directed ac
tivity In his new position as agricul
turist for the O.-W. R. & N. Company
are numerous, declares C. L. Smith, the
farmer-educator who has just been
added to the staff of th. Uarriman sys
tem in the Northwest.
Mr. Smith Is a veteran of the Civil
War and a pioneer in the agricultural
development of the Northwest. In fact
ever since the war he has passed most
of his time in farming. Through hi.
connection with the Washington Agri
cultural College the prefix "professor"
has been added to his name, but he
prefers to be designated as a plain
farmer. II. has won success through
the combination of scientific applica
tion and old-fashioned methods In his
farm work.
Idle Farmers Held to Blame.

have made little progress la those nln.
years. They haven't been farmed.
They hav. been used for .peculation
and nothing also.
"I hope to accomplish something
through my work toward break
ing up th. big farma and getting
people to go onto them who want to
work for a living. Many farmer,
these day. are afraid to milk a cow.
They shouldn't' be. Their wives and
daughters never think of soiling their

Jealousy Is Deorled.
"If the -truth would only Impress It
self upon some of those people that
there is eight times as much money to
be made In dairying or in raising hogs
or poultry that there is in growing
wheat or even apples some of the neg
lected branches of farming would re
ceive an Impetus.
"My experience has been that In near
ly every community there Is someone
who has solved the problems peculiar
to his section. But his next-door
neighbor doesn't know It and won't
learn It. It is my Intention to find in
each community the individual who has
been most successful in his work, then
visit with mm ana team nis iwui
in galnintr success. If necessary I'll
go and live on his place, that I may
learn all about it. Then I'll call the
other fellows together and tell them
how they can be similarly successful.
Those people never will learn from
each other. Too much jealousy exists
in every community and every farmer
is too proud to go and ask his neigh
bor his secrets of success.
Small Farms State's Hope.
"The possibilities' for development on
small farms are beyond computation.
Our greatest hope lies in the obscure
places among the hills.
"All my work will be done by per
sonal contact with the farmers. We
hav. no text-books and no literature
that Is applicable to conditions as they
exist. Nearly all our territory is i semi
arid that is, the rainfall is deficient.
We must ntillxe moisture to Its fullest
extent Every community presents
different problems. My aim is to solve
them or to learn how others have
solved them, then go and spread the
information where It will do the most
good." '

Pavers Want One Check to Cover All.
Paving companies have asked
City Attorney Grant for an opin
ion as to the right of a company to
make one certified check cover the
guarantee of bids submitted on dif
ferent classes of paving on the same
Improvement. The companies complain
that under the present system they
are required to present . a certified
check for each bid submitted and that
the interest they pay on the money
tied up or borrowed in this manner
amounts to a large sum annually. They
ask the right to make a check for the
amount of the highest bid and let that
apply to the lesser bids in case, the
highest bid is not taken.

Contempt Case Arises.
N. C. Evans, president, and Charles

been ordered by United States
District Attorney Bean to appear
before him tomorrow to show cause
why they are not in contempt by
disregarding the original and supple
mental restraining orders In the suit
of the Pacific Light & Power Company
against the Hydro-Electric Company.
Since this suit was Instituted the tClty
of Hood River has passed an ordinance
that provides for new restriction
against the Pacific Light & Power Com
pany and it is evident that that city is
backing up the Hydro-Electric Com
pany, which is a Hood River organization.
