Begins Tomorrow.
Portland's-eighth breeders- sale of fine
horses and pure bred cattle will com
mence tomorrow, April 26. and last all
through tho week. The horses will be
sold before the grandstand t the Country
Club rnce track and the cattle May 1,
at the Union Stork Yards.
This is more than a mere auction sale
- J Frm tlle ,nltial "mall sale
which did not fill two days, the annual
event has grown to one of the largest in
the land, occupying a full weeks time
It was the view of the originators of these
sales that Portland was the natural dis
tributing livestock market of the West
Time and experience have Justified the
Idea- The local breeders who furnished
the stock for the first sale have been
joined by a number of owners outside of
Oregon who watched the results In the
auction ring and found them satisfactory
even for top-notch stuff.
Buyers From Many States
Buyers attend from all the Northwest
states. California. Montana, British
Columbia and Alberta. This year in
quiries have come from Europe. It Is
thought to be up to Portland to encourage
these livestock men at least by attend
ing the sales. A horse sale of this class,
held on the finest track in the West
within the city limits of Portland, is as
interesting as a horse show or race meet
ing for it participates in the character
of both.
Livestock auctioneering ranks with the
professions in the Blue Grass country
This year Colonel R. I Harriman will
hare the block with California's lead
ing livestock auctioneer. William Higgtn
bottom and the only John P. Boilleau
of Spokane, will be announcer. The Port
land sale is considered one of the clean
est In the United States, owners being
permitted only to consign their stock
for absolute sale, the bidding public
making the price and the last bidder
becoming the new owner. As a result
buyers come back, and some of the
lare Purhasers at the earlv sales are
still heavy patrons.

RINGSIDE FANS ELATED
CAL1FOUXIAXS AWAIT JOHNSON.
JEFFRIES MILIj.
Champion's lltimatum Insures
Match There After Johnson Has
Fought Stanley Ketchel.
BY HARRY B. SMITH
SAN FRANCISCO. April 24. For the
next few weeks it will be" nothing but
Jeffries. The retted champion has
spoken He has a? last come out of
toVsriTt Ta"u dclared hi willingness
to fight Jack Johns6n. That Is all the
fans want and probably they will rest
content. Even now they can't believe
It and on the street the one question
you hear more than any ot'.ier is "Do
you really think that Jeffries means
Certainly he means It. Jeffries was
always a man of his word and. now
that he has spoken, he will stand, by
what he has said. But there are cer
tain things to which Johnson must
agree. First of all. he must fight
Stanley Ketchel in San Francisco 'on
October 12. There must be no side
stepping that match, says Jim. The
retired champion wants to find out
whether Johnson can beat Ketchel and
enJ,e,,WlILb,e ready to gainst
the black. Willis Britt. according to
a wire received from him this week
Is evidently, fearful lest Johnson will
sidestep the middleweight champion.
But I do not think there is much dan
ger. In the first place, Jeffries has in
sisted on that fight. Then again.
Johnson has a deposit of $5000 which
Ketchel has covered. Britt says that
he will claim the forfeit if Johnson
backs up and adds in an aside, "I will
take great pleasure in .spending John
son's money and I know no one who
can have more fun getting rid of that
money than I can:"
( Will Fight ln California.
Jeffries adds as a further condition
that the fight rnust be one of unlimited
rounds and thatNit must take place in
the United States. Now there is prac
tically only one place in the United
States where an unlimited round
encounter, or what amounts to that
can be held. It is California. Jeffries
knows that and It looks very much
like a declaration that he wants to
fight ln the Golden West. If he does.
It will be a great thing for the Coast
fight fans. Promoter Jimmv Coft
roth will undoubtedly secure the match
and, If he does, it will be no trick to
come to California to see the two
heavyweights in action.
Coffroth returned this week from his
Chicago and New York visit. The local
promoter has been exceedingly fortu
nate in gathering matches and he will
be busy for the rest of the Summer
months. First of all will come the
fight between Hugo Kelly and Billy
Papke for May 15. The articles have
not been signed, but there will be ro
trouble on that score. Papke says that
he wants a 45-round fight and that
is just what Coffroth likes to see.
Long Series of F'ights.
After the middleweights will come
the fight between Battling Nelson and
Fighting Dick Hyland on Decoration
day Last week it looked as if this
fight would be declared off, but Coff
roth says that It. will take place. It
will be a 45-round fight and the winner
Jt meet Packey McFarland. Mc-
Farland has signed to meet Battling
Nelson at the Mission-street arena on
July 5, as the Fourth of July falls on
Sunday, but the Chicago boy has agreed
that in case Hyland: beats Nelson he
will meet Hyland.
Then, during Portorla week, if all
goes well. Stanley Ketchel and Jack
Johnson will fight for the heavyweight
championship. October 12 being the se
lected date according to the articles
that have been signed. For SeBtember
Coffroth hopes to match Abe Attell and
Jem Driscoll. He has also a bantam
weight championship match between
Monte Attell and Johnny Coulon, both
claimants of the title. Coffroth says
this fight will be held in- June.
So those of you in Portland who like
to see a fight now and then can ar-

MOTOR BOATS AREREADY
BUILDERS WORK HARD TO TURN
OUT XEW CRAFT.
A. W. Knight Soon to launch 4 5
Foot Boat That Embodies New
Principles in Construction.
Motor-boaJ activities are still h. evi
dence along the waterfront. Many
boats under construction are being
rushed to completion as fast as possible
and the builders are putting in every
spare minute on the waterfront. A
few smaller boats have' been launched
and great satisfaction has been ex
pressed at the results. Before the
month oT May arrives most of the
motor-boats under construction will
have been finished and as soon as they
have been completed there will be a
number of races scheduled.
One of the trimmest and most serv
icable crafts along this line Is being
built for A. W. Knight by the Curtis
Company at the foot of Washington
street. This boat is 45 feet long and
contains a number of new ideas In
boat building. The bow is so con
structed that it will be more servicable
In rough weather or water than an
ordinary boat. The free board stands
five feet six inches out of water and
is extra large. The pilot-house Is
built to project above the cabin so that
the pilot can have a clear view from all
directions. There is also a wheel ln
the stern by which the pilot can control
the boat from the rear deck, which has
been arranged for the benefit of the
passengers who desire to ride outside
The cabin is a neat and roomy little
place and Is supplied with all the mod
ern necessities. In the fore part Is the
galley. In which, the cooking is done.
The cabin Itself will accommodate a
half dozen passengers and has room
for four bunks. The inside is hand
somely finished In natural wood color.
The engine is placed in the bow of
the boat and is out of the way of the
passenger.. It cannot be seen unless
the hatch opening into the engine-room
s removed. The engine was placed
here so the passengers will not be
stumbling over iu The boat will be
launched in a short time.
The Curtis Brothers have another
larger boat under construction, which
is being built for R. L. Macleay This
boat will be 52 feet long and will be
correspondingly wide. It will hold a
50 or 60-horsepower engine and will
be used as a sea-going cruiser. It is
expected to be finished by July 1.

Tour From Portland to San Fran
cisco Will Bo Held This Sum
mer, In Which Many Auto
ista Expected , to Join.
Portland automobile rtealers and the
Portland Automobile Club have locked
horns over the question of. the time for
holding the autonybile races this year
t, v.1 . mte,tm& f the club Monday
night, at which officers were elected and
important committees appointed, it was
decided to postpone the races until Sep
tember and not hold them .luring the
Rose Festival, as was the case last veiir
The reason of the postponement was to
I?? 1 I J?0.68 a distln-1 "1 separate
c-..,u iu mve a contest to equal the
races held ln Savannah last yeaV
It was the intention or the club mem
bers to have dealers' races in 50 and lon.
mile events and then to hold International
races and invite the fastest speed cars
in the world to enter, offering valuable
prizes as inducements.
According to the plans of the club
members the races were to be held for
a. week and extensive preparations for
this occasion were being made by the
committee appointed for that purpose
H- JN. covey was present and stsonglv
a.V?rS w .1 movement, which was sup
ported by the majority of the other club
members present, especially the officers.
Practically all the dealers of the city,
with the exception of Mr. Covey, are in
opposition to this action and held a
mi",Sr.Thursday nlBl,t- at h'ch it waa
decided that the dealers would not sanc

" -P5" and tha Automobile Club
Lnt A ?n th'8- action tl,ey wollId not
enter their cars for the events, but would
Ftia ,raeet themselves during the Rose
Festival. Further, the dealers are op
posed ta havinR cars entered other than
those represented in Portland, and re
ruse to sanction the entrance of f-eak
cars of any shape or make.
The reason for this decision is that
?? of the objects in holding the races
s for the demonstrating of the ourabil--X
ar ,the- Bood "unities of the cars.
The dealers feel that if freak racers are
allowed to come in and take the laurels
iWOU i "0t do the tland machines
any good, nor would it be a fair showing
of the real merit of cars entered
t7hl da,ers. a'so declare that the season
for buying Is not nearly over, as was
stated at the club meeting, and say that
the Proper time to hold the races Is dur
ing the Festival, when business in general
is suspended. Another reason is thai a
sufficient attendance could not be se
cured in the Fall, as an unusual number
of people will be here during the Fes
tival and that it will be a hard matter
to secure a proper number of spectators
-riTJ CS!, th? f venfs at a Iater time.
?t,.an:i Automobile Club members
realize that the races held at anv time
cannot be carried out without the sup
port of the dealers- and are willing to
make any concessions that will Insure

One of the actions of the Portland Au
tomobile Club at its meeting Mondav
night was the choice of a tract of lani
on the Sandy n.ad. 20 m:les from Port
land, as the site for a new clubhouse.
Twenty-five acres were purchased Tues
day and the plans and specifications for
the new clubhouse are being prepare.l.
The land upon which the house is to be
built was purchased from R. I.lsner. th
price paid being $.1000. It will be a small
bungalow and will cost in the neighbor
hood of $3000. It Is the intention of the
members, however, to build a larger
clubhouse in the future, to cost $25,000.
The site chosen is one of the prettiest
locations on the Sandy road and affords
a beautiful view of Willamette scenery.
The river flows by on one side and to the
rear the snow-covered mountains rife.
The grounds have been used for years
as picnic grounds by persons who wished
to have a pretty place in which to camp.
The bungalow will be built on a little
corner containing five acres, which com
mands one of the most beautiful views
in the country. To the 5outh tho Sandy
river is In plain view: on the eastern
side a solid wall of rock siand.s manv
feet above, and to the north lies the re
maining "acreage of smooth and slishtlv
rolllng ground, covered with statelv pines
and firs.
A man is to be placed on the grounds
at once to clear away the dead under
brush and scrub trees, but none of the
natural beauty will be impaired.
Golf and tennis grounds will be ar
ranged and the place made a handsome
Mecca for the city people away from th
jar and noise of the city streets. The
roads are ln good condition most of the
year.

committee of the Portland Automobile
