THE SUauAT OEEGONIAX, PORTLAND, yOYE3IBER 29, 1903. VALUABLE DOGS ARE STOLEN Portland Fanciers Think Thieves Sell In Other Cities. BI WILL. G- MAC RAE. Is there an orf:anled band of do thieve operating In Portland? This is a question that many dog fanciers have been asking themselves, but there has been no answer to the query. If there Is such a gang, and there Is every reason to believe that an organized band has been In operation In Portland for years trlthout molwitatlon from eilher the police or the Portland Kennel Club, some of the local fanciers think It is time some action Is taken. A man's do, under the laws of Oreson. is personal property, and It is Just as much of a crime to steal a dog as It is to commit larceny of any kind. The openinB of the shootinn season Is tlie time that the d thief sete into action, and during the past year or two several valuable doga have been stolen. No arrests have been made, and so far m Is known the owner has never been assisted in recovering his dog. either by ths police or the Kennel Club. It has reached a point now that the owner of a valuable hunting dog cannot allow the animal out of his sisht for a minute If h do.-s. some thief who has spotted the dog and knows that he la good one. lies In wait, and snother dog has been ndid to the already long list that has lieen stolen. Sold in Other Towns. The dog thief is a master hand at his business. He dot not steal a good dng and then try to sell him in town. His method, after getting hold of the dog. is to hp him out of town to some other thlf and then he Is sold. The same thing Is done hy the dog thief in some other town. The dog thief usually gets into action a month before the shooting ,j.lfon opens and keep up his work as l.ing as the season lasts and there is a market for aYs. Here In the city a num ber of doss were stolen before the sea son opened and hard'.y a day has passed sin", that the advertising column of The Or-sonian do not contain an adver tisement of & lost hunting dng. Sometimes when the owner has made an unusual effort to recover his property and It has been published that the police are watching the express otllces. the owner ?ets his dog bck through his advertise ment, but it Is only about one dog In ten that Is recovered stter It has been stolen. This year alone over 50 high-class field dogs have been stolen and only In one of two instances have they been re covered. Dr. Alan Welch Smith was one of the fortunates. Kis prize-winner. Handsome Dan, was stolen and he found the dog himself after many days of searching. Ir. Smith had every reason to believe the people who had ills dog had stolen him, but they claimed that he came to them. Max FleiFchner. who lost his English setter. Bird, was not so fortunate. The dog was etoien two weeks before the shooting sea son opened and in spite of the reward offered. Bird has never been returned. Dr. John H. Montgomery Is the latest victim. A wek ago his fine field dog. Pan, disappeared and Dr. Montgomery lias scoured the town for His dog with out success. Dr. Montgomery Is loth to believe that some one was waiting for a chance to steai Dan and for that reason. Is he willing, if he can get back his dog. to ask no questions. Dan is a fine field dng and Dr. Montgomery Is all broken up over his disappearance, especially so now because his 'pointer dog was run over and killed the other day by an auto mobile. Dr. Montgomery's dog, like Mr. Flelschner's Bird, is an English setter with black ears and a doby thickly ticked with black spots. He has a double dew claw on the rUht kind foot and has tan markings around the mouth and eyes. Kennel Club Should Help. Just one arrest and conviction would undoubtedly put a stop to ths wholesale stealing of dogs that has been going on so long. The Kennel Club, while of course the main reason of its organiza tion is to hold bench shows, should take a hand in the matter. Its members are made up of dog fanciers and they would help a great deal by sending out notices to other kennel clubs when a valuable dog has been stolen. The postal card system, with a picture and description of the dog. could he sent out through the mails, not only to the various kennel clubs, but to the local authorities as well. This could be done without great cort and it would show that the club was anxio-is to help the owner recover his dog. It wouldn't even be a bad matter for the club to offer a reward for ths arrest and conviction of dog thieves, or Information leading up to the arrest and conviction of men who are in the business of stealing dogs.

My past experience in New York City has qualified me to under stand and anticipate the wants of those who ride and drive for pleasure, as well as to rightly care for their horse. For the past few years I have been at the American Horse Exchange in New York (of which William K. Vanderbilt is president), dealing in tine horses and giving lessons in riding and driving; previous to that I was manager of Mr. E. H. Harriman's private stable. During the recent Hunt Club Horse Show I acted as assistant to President T. ta. McGrath. and found many pleasant and mutually profitable acquaint ances among the horse-lovers of Portland.. Believing there is an opportunity to establish in Portland a high class stable. I have leased for a term of years the Portland Riding Club and have spared neither effort or expense In refitting and making this the elite of Portland stabling facilities, and further believing that from my extensive experience I am capable of giving you the best of loyal service, I hope to receive your patronage. I might add that the dressing-rooms for patrons are complete In all technical detail, equipped with hot and cold, needle, shower and tub baths and immaculately kept lockers. I invite your inspection of the stables and their facilities. Most sincerely yours, SAMUEL E.
