8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. OCTOBER 20, 1907. PAPER CHASE WON By E. M. LAZARUS Members of the Portland Hunt Club Enjoy Six-Mile Ride After the Hares. EXCITING RACE AT FINISH Course New One, With Plenty ol Blinds and Some Jumps Club Will Now Devote Attention to Horse Show Preparations. E. M. Lazarus, on Callbon, w(on the paper chase held yesterday afternoon by the Hunt Club. Walter Vollman, on Juanblllardo, was second, and Dr. R. J. Chtpman was third. The course, over a distance of six miles, was a fine one. with Just enough blinds, brush work and Jumps to make the ride pleas ant. The hares, Mrs. S. C. Spencer and J. Cronin, laid the course, and they spread the paper over a route that was new in spite of the many paper chases held by the club. F. O. Downing:, M. F. H., held the small field close together until within a short distance of the red paper and when he gave the signal, five of the riders were close together. Finish an Exciting One. The finish, a nice straightaway course, was on Thirty - fourth street and Alnsworth avenue. The race to the finish was exciting and it was not until within 100 yards of the end that Mr. Lazarus was able to get Callbon in front. Dr. Chipman, who has not ridden through a paper chase in four years and Mr. Vollman had a pretty struggle for second and third. Those who rode through are: Mrs. K. O. Downing, Mrs. M. E. Wprtman, Miss Inez Cummlng, Miss Mabel Law rence, Miss D. B. Howard, Mrs. Des mond, F. N. Leadbetter and Dr. Em met Drake. The smallness of the field that rode through was due to the fact that many of the club riders were at tending the Seattle Horse Show. They will return today and the horses that were shipped to the show will return on Monday. Plans for Horse Show. Now that the Seattle show Is a thing of the past, all the Hunt Club members will devote their time in getting their mounts, in readiness for the Portland Horse Show. In spite of the fact that this will be Portland's first horse show, everything points to its auocess. The only thing that could make It a fail ure would be lack of attendance. One thing is sure, and that is the show will be a success from the horse stand point, for already over 100 entries have been received. When the classification list was gotten up It was decided to close the entries on the 20th, but owing to the fact that the Seattle show was on during the closing week of the entries, T. S. McGrath. president of the club, yesterday decided to hold the entries open until Saturday night. This will give the owners and breeders, who have been busy at Seattle, a chance to make their entries. Practically all the boxes have been sold and on Monday the box tickets will be destrluuted. Each person who has made application for a box, will be given a chance to make his or her selection ac cording to the order of receipt of the ap plication at the Hunt Club rooms. The reserved and season seat sale will be on Thursday, at Powers & Estes' drugstore on Sixth street. BRIDGE ORDER MODIFIED County Court Heeds Protest From Kast Side Business Men. Modification of the contract for re pairing the Burnride bridge Is to be made so that most of the time one cartrack and a walk for pedes trians will be kept open. Following an emphatic protest against the com plete closing down of the bridge, this arrangement was made by the County Commissioners yesterday, following a conference with the North East Side Improvement Association. The bridge will be open, except dur - Ing- about two weeks that is required to repair the turn-span. Contractor Wakefield advised the Commissioners that traffic of no kind could be allowed during that time. Teams will not be permitted to use the bridge at any time. The Improvement Association sent Its representatives to call on the Coun ty Court and Commissioners. The dele gation was made up of W. C. North, R. E. Menefee, J. M. PIttenger, T. W, Vreeland and Frank SInnott. The dis cussion of the situation was purely in formal. Contractor Wakefield was present and. In making an estimate of the cost of reducing the period for re pair work, he stated that $6000 would suffice for a reduction from 120 days to 90 days. Assurance was given . the visitors that the walk for pedestrians and the cartrack would be kept clear of build ing materials during the open period.

Larg er working forces are being organized and the apparent Intention of the com pany is to rush the project to comple tion. Everything indicates that . the line is to be a new Portland-Salt Lake Rail way, as was told in The Oregonian recently for the first time.

P. Clark is in Portland, as Is F. C. Flnkle, consulting en gineer. These officials spent a large part of each day at the Swetland build ing headquarters of the company, map ping out plans for hastening the work and consulting with General Manager Miller and other local officers of the company. "We have established a sawmill at Bull Run that is in full operation," said Engineer "Flnkle, "and cuts 30,000 feet of lumber a day. Enough lumber and timbers have been sawed out for the flume construction at the power plant. . A stretch of about 13 miles of the road between Bull Run -and Gresham has been graded. This work Is going ahead rapidly and as soon as this piece of road is completed, the construction forces will be switched to the line between the power station and Portland. "All contracts for equipment and construction have been let and there is no doubt but we will have the initial tinits of the powerhouse, which will develop 12,000 horsepower. In opera tion by May 1." Some doubt still remains as to the route the new road will follow as six separate surveys have been made. The' final work of closing up rights-of-way matters is now going on and wtthtn the coming two weeks the officials expect' to be able to announce the exact route the new road will take.

You really have no idea how, interesting (and profitable, too) the classified pages are until you have read them a few times.
