Stodebaker Vefi See photos of vehicles and horses on this page, all STUDEBAKERS. Mr. H. W. Treat's pair of coach horses. and a brougham, wins the blue ribbons and Tiffany Triumph Silver Gup Mr. Treat also wins blue ribbons and silver cups for best pair of horses and appointments to victoria; and pair of roadsters to road wagon. Mr. Treat has won several other blue ribbons. He is the largest winner of blue ribbons in the Portland Horse Show Ring, arid all have been hitched to Studebaker for high steppers, and the blue was again won by John W. Consldlne, of Seattle, with the team of H. W. Treat receiving second prize and A. C. I'room's pretty bays third. Mr. Froom, in the next class, however, for the best a horse and appointed road rig, made honors even when he took the blue ribbon over the Seattle cracks with Lady Zombro. In fact. Portland 1 1 1 nr. iflrrlpH riff nil thrA nf the rib- I bona In this class. Dr. Froom's Lady Zombro and Paul Wesslnger's Alta Cora had no rivals for a pair of pacers and In the speedway class. ' It is Just as well that there were no more en tries In tills class, for the' pair of horses shown by Messrs. "Wessinger and Froom cannot be beaten for confor mation and style of going. They were driven by Harry Osmond, and even in the little ring he was able to give some Idea of the speed that was in the handsome pair of place pacers. The team was applauded all the time it was in the show ring. Only two standard-bred stallions were shown in this class, but what the class lacked in numbers it more than made up in quality, for it would be hard to find a finer pair of standard bred stallions anywhere. Irvlnheart, owned by John Pender, one of the best known light harness horse drivers In Oregon, won the blue ribbon over Alki, owned by C. W. Maxwsll, of Vancouver, Wash. ! The only entry In the four-in-hand ! was that of H. "W. Treat, of Seattle. Mr. Treat drove, and he showed him self to be a whip of no mean ability. As the four horses, with their splendid trappings, drawing the finely appointed coach, were driven around the ring there was a constant ripple of applause, not only for the appointment but for Mr. Treat also. Calvin lieillg was the happiest man in the Oriental building during the aft ernoon, for his wife's horse, Surat nacla. was given the blue ribbon in the combination class for riders and drivers. Mrs. Helllg's horse was driven and ridden by E. M. Lazarus. The red ribbon went to F. W. Leadbetter's Monty. Elsie, owned by V. J. Raley. ridden by Mrs. C. H. Edmunds, was third. The white ribbon went to Miss Belle Ainsworth's Mowltza. Five of the get, all youngsters of Hal B.. who Is at the head of Paul Wesslnger's stud, were paraded around the ring in the special class arranged for Hal B. foals. It was as nice a lot of standard-bred babies as one could wlsi: to see, and when the sire himself whs shown in the ring tt was easy to t-re the resemblance between get and tire. S lly Goodwin, known to every .-ace-Koer In the city, was given first honors in the throughbred saddlers' class over a field of 11 entries. D. A. Patul lo's Barnato was second, and J. H. Bennett, the winner of the Hunt Club two-mile race last June, was third. Mrs. Edmunds' Stimy received the white ribon. In the driving tandem class James Xlcol carried off the blue ribbrn with Snap and Ladillc over H. W. Treat's Citizen and Black Chief. Citizen was not on his good behavior and refused to play the part that was asked of him. In the class suitable for officers' mounts Thomas Scott Brooke won the first ribbon with Joe Jewett. making three firsts that he has carried oi'f during the show. Miss Frances Luwis' Jack of Diamonds, the horse thit she recently bought at Seattle, was second, and Ardcn, owned by Major J. S. i'arke., was third.

The greater part of the blue ribbons and also the red ribbons won by the Portland exhibitors were won in Studebaker ve hicles, particularly in the beautiful Studebaker Bailey Speed and Road Wagons. Among the best class of horse men, these road wagons are considered par excellence. Mr. Paul Wessinger, Dr. A. G. Froom and other not able exhibitors captured many blue ribbons and red ribbons in the Studebaker Bailey Road Wagons. HOLES IDE III ONE Jamie Anderson Made It When Needed to Win. EARLIEST GOLF RECORDS Lovers of the Game Tell of Straight Shots and Long Shots Which Were Favored by Fortune or the Bewitched Ball. NEW- YORK, Nov. 9. (Special.) When a tee shot makes the green and stops close to the hole the drive is ap plauded as a masterstroke. The shot is a tribute to the player's direction and length, the laying "dead" accepted as a climax of sklH, while to hole the shot Is treated as a ludicrous anti climax, which seems a paradox. 3me time since, in a symposium of British golfers on their favorite shot, H. H. Hilton was the only one to declare for the shot he once holed from the tee. In general, those who have had a" similar record speak as though the ball had been bewitched. . Jamie Anderson, in the open cham pionship he won at Prestwik in 1878, needed the hole he got in one to win out. The only hole evei made in one in an American championship occurred in June, during the National open over the course of the Philadelphia Cricket Club. On the tenth hole of 147 yards Jack Hobens, of the Englewood Golf Club, had a tw in the morning and one in the afternoon. He took four for the same hole on the fourth round and did not finish first or second. Another professional, W. V. Hoare, holed his drive this year on the 185-yard hole of the Salt I,ake City course. Another happening of the sort from the tee has the record. If to partic ularize in such shots is not painting the Illy, of being one of the longest drives ever holed in one. This occurred at the Houston, Texas. Golf Club last year, when Charles D. Goldlng,- an amateur, popped into the -cup on a 218-yard hole. Hole-4 Made in One. The earliest records of holes in one on courses in the Metropolitan Golf Associa tion were at the Spring tournament of the Golf Club, of lakewood. in 1S86. Otto Hockmeyer, a Staten Island player, holed an iron shot from the tee, and in the same tournament James A. Tying holed in one on the first hole, which was about 120 yards. The advantage gained by this good fortune brought Tying in for the handicap, tied with Herbert CV Leeds at 85, both playing from scratch. Tying won on the playoff. The first notoriety gained was through holing in one from a full drive at the Knollwood Country Club in 1S97. Two years later he became the first American trained National amateur champion. The advent of the rubber-cored ball in 1901 has made the one holes more frequent than of old, yet they are still almost as scarce as hen's teeth in comparison with the multiplicity of tee shots made by every golfer. Holes short enough to Justify a machle, iron or cleik from the tee are more often made in one than when wood is used for the drive, yet when the ball is bewitched any old club will do. The only hole ever v 5 . t 3 :. ' 4 St 5 i Portlan A f fJi, -J" " made In one at the Dyker Meadow oGlf Club Is the second, 167 yards, wlfere there Is a nice run up to the green beyond a ditch. M. S. Flint, a member unknown to fame in the monthly handicaps, per formed the feat with a clelk. Wee Drappie Was Made. The eleventh at the Lakewood Coimtry Club, a mashie shot, has been made by Arthur Ryle and Will Norton in the cov eted figure. F. D. Stoutenbourgh has the same record on the 100-yard thirteenth at Deal, where a high pitch is needed over a deep sandpit, and the late Frank Crok er holed from the tee on the 150-yard eighth hole at the same course. The "wee drappie" at the Richmond Country Club, the green being a drop of 106 yards below the tee, has been made In one, ac cording to gossip. G.. L. Cutler In making the 110-yard hole at the Sprlnghaven Country Club hit the disc and dropped in. Usually the ball runs across the green as though it had been putted after its carry. Records of the marvelous shot come from all parts of the country. John J. Fenelly holds It on a 17-yard hole at the Kansas City Country Club. George H. Bond has scored on the 132-yard hole at the Kearsarge Golf Club. Will Anderson, the former open champion, playing with T. T. Sherman, was in from the tee with the midiron on the 175-yard hole at the Apawamls Club. The downhill hole at the Scarsdale Golf Club. 231 yards, has been made by J. C. Shaft in one. Makers of Long Drives. Donald Geddes and E. A. I-orin have the count on the 161-yard "circus" hole over the pond at Garden City from thei tee. Before the change to an undulating green Walter J. Travis had the mystic fortune on the second hole there. 130 yards, and he has a similar record for the tenth hole at Baltusrol, then a full iron shot. Judson S. Todd says the 150 yard hole at the Knollwood Country Club, the downhill hole, and the 110-yard pond hole have both been made in one more thar. once. , . Arthur McAleenan, one of the longest left-handed drivers In the country, has marked "one" on the card for the 134 yard fifteenth hole at the Hollywood Golf Club, while J- M. Lamberton has done so for the 117-yard hole at the Harrisburg Country Clpb. The 150-yard hole at St. Andrews, where the brook compels an accurate drop, is to the credit of Jock Hutchinson, and Lamie, one of the mem bers, has had a one for the 160-yard hole at thfc Arsdale Golf Club. The 150 yard hole of the Montclalr Golf Club has been done in one, but not by Jerome Travers, for champions are not so often favored by the witches as comparatively unknown players. A "double event" has been scored by N. P. Rogers, Jr.. for the 120-yard hole at the Plalnfield Country Club. He had a one there before entering West Point and this Summer duplicated the shot as a full-fledged lieutenant. His mother, pres ident of the Women's Metropolitan Golf Association. " is the only one of her sex on the single shot list. She gained the record on the same hole, but when the distance had been shortened to 100 yards during repairs. WOOD BLOCKS FOR MILAN Possible Market In Italian City for American Lumbermen. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 6. There is a possible mar ket open to the Pacific Coast lumbermen If they desire to ship paving blocks as far as Milan. Italy. That city is wrest ling with the paving problem, and has approved the wooden paving blocks for certain uses, but -so far has been unable to obtain blocks of the right size and material at prices considered reasonable. Information received by the Department of Commerce and Labor says that as phalt paving Is highly approved, and be ing extensively iaid. but on streets trav ersed by ' street railways, the Milan au p3 'vTvV- i:' 1 in i Sfe:!--Sl.-' .: orse n. V. TREAT'S BROUGHAM. thorities require the use of blocks of wood on either side of the rails. Trolley tracks on asphalt streets in Mi lan are supported on cither side by small wooden ' blocks,- measuring 2 by 3 15-16 by -8H Inches. These blocks save the as phalt greatly, and In the future when trolley tracks are laid on asphalt streets In Milan, or in fact, in all Italy, these blocks will be. used. "They are now im ported from one Australian firm. Their quality . Is very good but the Milan authorities think they are paying rather high prices and are now looking for an opportunity to Import from somewhere else. This Is a good opportunity for the American wood' and lumber manufac turer. The blocks must be of the hardest and most durable wood and be able to stand all weathers without rotting or warping, or in three words, be well seasoned. It is absolutely useless to try and place un seasoned stock. It. is hot wanted. The Milan municipality is said to be willing to pay even more to get good quality. '1 ne price now is 17.72 per 100. If the Ameri can manufacturer can supply blocks, -as described, for this price or .less, he may consider this an opportunity to sell car loads in Milan alone, and if they give good results here, there will be a demand for them in the whole of Italy. The wood that will be preferred must be cheap In price. Quality .is thought of the most. , American manufacturers should corres pond directly with the Milan Municipal ity in Italian or French, preferably in Italian, stating prices and terms of pay ment. The terms should be as liberal as poss.ole. ' A sample block should accom pany the letter. If the price and quality of the American stock'ls considered sat isfactory, the municipality would prob ably order one carload for a test There is a place especially asslsned for such expriments. All wood except ebony en ters Italy free of duty. COLD WATER FOR KNOX Pittsburg Resents "Lack of Interest In Local Politics. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington Nov. s-.-A splendid illustration of the weakness of -the Knox Presidential boom is reported from Pittsburg. The Pennsylvania Senator is. of course, largely handicapped because he is, or is supposed to be a corporation man. But another serious handicap is the fact that he is in clined to be an aristocrat and fails to mingle with the common people. He does not associate with, the men who consti tute the majority of voters, and la not in sympathy with that element. Pittsburg, where the Senator makes his home, recently had a campaign of consid erable local Interest. The Senator went to Pittsburg several days prior to the elec tion, but carefully avoided miirgllng with the local politicians. . and. although he passed by, failed to pay even a formal call at the Republican headquarters. To make matter? worse", he contributed not a cent to the local campaign fund and dis played no interest whatever in the out come. . The consequence is that Pittsburg Re publicans are sore at Knox and declare that he. need not expect their support later on. when he becomes a candidate for the Presidential nomination. Of course Pittsburgers cannot nominate or prevent the nomination of Senator Knox, but If he goes to the convention bearing the ill will of his home city' it is more than likely that other Pennsylvania Republicans will sympathize with the Pittsburg Republi cans and Knox will make a poor showing. It is. of course, true that Knox haa never been a. serious figure In the Presi dential race, but the Pittsburg incident only goes to phow tnat he stands no pos sible chance of being nominated.

WORKS FAKE CERTIFICATES President or Refrigerator Companj Issues Warehouse Paper for Many Times More Produce Than Stored With Concern. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 9. Investiga tion of the affairs of J. E. Bramy, presi dent of the Merchants' Refrigerating Company, shows that- the obligations of Bramy and the company amount to more than $1,000,000. Banks In the East and In small Missouri and Kansas towns are the creditors. Attorney Cook said tonight that his firm represents creditors holding a large amount of warrant warehouse certificates for eggs, which are not in the ware house of the company. In checking up accounts held by other creditors, Mr. Cook estimated that between 400,000 and J300.000 of such certificates are in exist ence. Other attorneys say 15.000 cases of eggs were found in the warehouse, while they hold receipts for more than 100,000 cases. The note's put out by Bramy. as president of the company, were eagerly taken by country bankers. A note for $1500. se cured by warehouse certificates, for eggs worth J20C0 at the prevailing market price, was regarded as gilt-edged Investment and the notes found a quick market. NOT PAYING FOR FRILLS Traveling Federal Officials Must In cur No Vseless Expense. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 9. Federal officials who are required to travel about the country in the performance of their public duties are expected to put up with ordinary railroad accommodations while traveling. The Government pays expenses of such offi cials who travel on Government business, but it does not pay for any frills. This is illustrated by a case recently de cided where a payma?ter's clerk received orders to take station at Bremerton. Wash , and he started from New York City for the Pacific Coast. He traveled on one of the "flyers" and paid $7 over the usual rate for that privilege. The orders to the clerk made no mention of any un usual haste in his reaching Bremerton, and in the adjustment of his accounts for traveling expenses the extra rate was de ducted. It seems that the regular over land trains are fast enough to transport officers from one point to another, unless they receive specific orders to the con trary. The clerk In this particular case asserted that ne did not know when he bought his ticket that he was getting other than a Hrst-class ticket, but his duties, it is held, should make him more particular in his business transactions. i i
