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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
