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.

To Horse Lovers
Where Your Horse Will Receive Care
Dear Sir: Knowing you are an owner and a lover of "man's best
friend, the horse," you are no doubt interested in their care and
appreciate the satisfaction and relief to the mind in feeling that the
horse which has served you so well and carried you safely through
the hunting field and over the road will be Intelligently and kindly
cared for by men who understand his every want when he reaches
the stable; where the animal will be housed in large, light stalls,
resting day and night in an abundance of clean, fresh straw, and being
regularly and properly fed on the best supplies the market affords.
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,
