Along the Route Planned to

Th Salem-Portland relay race be
tween the local Y. M. C. A. and the
Chemawa Indian Schol was won yes
terday by the Indiana. The race was a
rlose content and the Association boy
was only 12 minutes behind the Indian
lad when he, reached the Y. M. C. A.
buildinir. The race started from the
State House, Swlem, at 9:40 A. M., and
the Indian runner reached the terminus
In Portland at 3:06 P. M. The race was
the first of its kind ever held on the
Coast, and one of the longest relay
races ever held in the country.
At 9:40 the two runners. Sidney
Rssmussen. representing the Y. M. C.
A., and Walter Halght. a Klamath In
dian lad representing the Government
school, were each handed a copy of a
letter containing greetings from Gov
ernor Chamberlain addressed to Mayor'
Lane at the west steps of the. Capitol.
Both men started off amid the cheers
of a large crowd of Salem people, took
fapltal street to Market, then on to
the State Fair road leading towards
this city. All along the road they were
greeted with cheers. Crowds of farmers
had assembled and at the crossroads
there was usually a vehicle, containing
some party that had traveled a dls
tsnce to witness the race. The two
runners, with the Indian boy in the
Iesd, passed down the road about a
mile east of the Chemawa School.
Nearly every stvident in the school was
there to give the school yell.
Guns Fired at Gervals.
The runners changed at a point
about five miles north of Salem, and
the Indian had gained seven minutes
on his rival. The fresh runners fol
lowed the County road, passing about
a mile east of Brooks and a half mile
from Gervais. A large crowd was
there to greet them, and as the first
man passed through the crowd, a num
ber of guns were fired. The Indian
lads kept the lead, and never allowed
the palefaces to pass them. At Canby
they took the railroad track and fol
lowed the line to Oregon City. There
they crossed the Suspension Bridge and
came into Portland on the Oswego
road. Here they encountered some'
very heavy hills, especially the Oswego
hill. With the Indian still in the lead
they passed through Fulton and came
In the city over Kelly street. Then
they took Water street io Columbia.
Columbia to Fourth, then on to the
Association building.
A large crowd was in front of tho
Y. M. C. A. building when Amo
Smoker, the Indian boy who was to
finish' the race, came In sight. Cheers
went up as the little fellow came in
weary and panting after his long run.
He delivered the message to the party
on the platform, then hurried into the
association building to take a shower.
Twelve minutes later Fred Newell, the
Y. M. C. A. man, came running in, and
delivered a copy of the same document.
He, too, was greeted with cheers, and
soon disappeared into the association
building.
The Relay Teams.
The first Indian lad was Walter
Haight. the second was Sam John, a
fullblooded Indian lad from California.
,He In turn was relieved by Pejer Sey
mour, and Seymour turned the letter
over to Michael Wilson, a fullblooded
Xes Perce from Idaho. At Hubbard,
Robert Brothers, a Shoshone, took the
document and carried It to Barlow,
where he was relieved by Nick Mack,
a Klamath Indian boy. Mack was re
lieved by Frank Dan, a 14-year-old
Muckleshoot, who ran to Oregon City,
where he turned the letter over to
Peter Casey. Casey in return was re
lieved by Apie Goudy. and this lad
carried the letter nearly to Fulton, en
trusting It to Amos 6m(Mnr.
For the T. M. C. A. Sidney Rasmussen
started the race, and "ne was. relieved
by Henry Talbot, followed in turn by
J. G. Arbuthnot, Will Dacey. Al New

other Important athletic institutions of
the state have signified their intention
of entering, and Mr. Grilley hopes to
make the event one , or the annual
athletic events In the state.
CROWD TO SEE RACERS OFF
Sympathies of Salem People Went
With Chemawa Indians.
SALEM, Or.. May 4. (Special.) A
crowd of about 200 men, women and
children gathered at the Capitol this
morning to see the start In the Port
land Y. M. C. A. -Chemawa relay race
between Salem and Portland. Private
Secretary W. X. Gatens. of the Gov
ernor's office, had given each of -the
starters a message from the Governor
to Mayor Lane, and when the Indian
and the white man toed a crack in the
sidewalk at the west approach to the
Capitol, the crowd waited breathlessly
for the word to start. Bnt there was
nothing spectacular. At 9:40 Mr. Gatens
gave the word "Go!" and the two run
ners started off at a slow trot that had
little appearance of a foot-race. No
bets were made, but the desire was aP'
ptrently unanimous that the Chemawa
team should win. Among those who
were present at the start were ex-Governor
Lord. C. B. Moores. Judge H. L.
Benson, W. P. Campbell, of the Chema
wa Indian School; R. J. Hendricks,
Physical Director Forbes, of the Salem
Y. M. C. A., and nearly all of the state
officers. Bulletins from the race were
eagerly watched until the race ended.
