TIIE 'SUXDAT OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 1, 1909. 9 ' M U LTH 0 MA H TEAM IS TRAINING HARD Athletes Preparing for A. A. U. Contests at Seattle on August 13-14. ROGER CORNELL IN CHARGE Strong Hops Placed in Ability of IiOcal Men to Capture Junior Events Forrest Smithson' Ankle Ts Xot Troublesome. Cnder the guiding hand of Roger B. Cornell, those members of the Mult nomah track team vho are training on the club grounds to represent the club in the National A. A. U. meet at Seat tle on Aufru.it 13 and 14. are rapidly rounding Into shape to meet the num erous athletes of note who will be there from all parts of the country. Home of the boys are training at other places, but from all of them are heard the most encouraging reports. Trainer Cornell expects to put the men under his charge In condition to break their own records. He has had 10 years' experience In his line and is considered one of the greatest trainers on the Coast. He was for some time trainer for the Olympic Club of San Francisco, and while there turned out a rumber of champions. It was on ac count of procuring a trainer by the Multnomah Club that Huston, the Uni versity of Oregon sprinter, decided to enter the races this year, jae had re fused to run when it was announced the club Intended to do without a trainer. Junior Events Thought Sure. It is thought that the club team has a strong chance to won the Junior events at Seattle, since Smlthson is the only one who will not be eligible to en ter them. The team is composed alto gether of stars with fine records, and Is looked to pull in a large percentage of the points In the Junior stunts. Forrest Smlthson reports his ankle Is giving him no trouble, and he ex pects to be in trim by tne time of the races to run a :1S flat clip over the high barriers. His London rivals. Johnny Garrets and Shaw, will be on hand and they will make Smlthson go some to w in. This event is expected to be the closest and most spectacular contest of the meet. No one has been picked yet to rep resent the club In the Javelin-throwing contest, but it is probable McKlnney 'or Baker will be entered In the event. This will be the first time the Javelin .has ever been used on the Coast. Trainer Cornell has high hopes for tha men In his charge. Burns, the H. yi. A. star, who ran the mile at Stan ford last Spring in 4:35. seemingly without trying, Cornell thinks will bs able to hit It off at a 4:24 clip by tha time of the Seattle races. Personnel of Multnomah Team. Miller, the Washington High School nalf-miler, is expected to hug the half mile close to two minutes. Williams Is expected to run the 440 yard dash in 48 or 49 seconds, and Mc Klnney, the U. of O. athlete of the class of 'OS, will probably put the shot to about 4s teet. Williams is training at Independence, Or.. Keld at Astoria, McKlnney at Baker City, Kelly at Baker City and Conoway at Enterprise. Huston, Williams. Burns and Miller probably will be used for the relay team. They are all good quarter-mil-ers and are expected to make a good showing In the relay. The following 13 men will compose the team: Sprints. Harold, Reid, Oliver Huston and 1L A. Meir; quarter mile. Rube Williams: 880-yard run. Burns and Miller; high Jump. K. C. Chapman; broad Jump, L'an Kelly; 120-yard hur dles. Forrest Smlthson; weights. Henry McKlnney, Carl Wolff, A. B. Conaway, Baker. outside of tha ring. - The total number of demerits made in the 15 casts is di vided by 15 and the result substracted from 100. The remainder is the ac curacy percentage. In the distance casts, five minutes ara allowed for each contestant, .and the best cast made in this time is counted. At the beginning of last season but few of the casters could reach 70 feet in the distance event, but this year a! most all the contestants have marks well beyond this distance. N. C. Thorn holds the record at 100 feet. The next tournament will be held August 14, when the following events will be contested: Long distance fl casting; delicacy and accuracy fly cast Inc. 35 and 45 feet: half-ounce bait cavting.

SPOKANK. Wash., July 31. (Special. ) Judge Mann assessed' a fine of 325 and costs upon S. A. Lcjeune. the utility man of the Aberdeen baseball club, for his participation in a brawl at tha Victoria Hotel bar on Thursday night. Judpe Mann decided that tha affair was an ordinary saloon row, in which one belligerent had received the worst of It, but that he would have to fine Lejeune for the injuries he had inflicted upon the bartender. The bartender appeared with a bandaged head. Flies Casters ARE THROWN Make Good Scores Tournament. FAR In In the semi-weekly tournament of the Portland Fly Casting Cluh, held jester day on Hawthorne Park Lake, some unusually grood stores were made in the accuracy casts, despite the fact that the casters were hampered by a brisk breeie. In the accuracy casts for the 35, 40 and 45-foot distances, George Rae won first place with a percentage of 9 5-15. In the distance casts. N. C. Thorn made the best mark with a throw of feet. The percentages In tha accuracy casts are figured on a system of reduc tion by demerits. Three buoys are placed at distances varying: five feet and five casts are made at each buoy. If the fly falls Inside the buoy (or Tina-) tha score Is perfect. If it falls oiislde the rlna-. demerits are marked according as the fly falls ipkiUUn one, two or three feet of tha The Columbia Trust Company's ex curslon to Broadmead yesterday was a marked success. The day opened finely. as Oregon days are in the habit of do ing-, and Portland people and those of towns lying within a radius of SO miles of Broadmead took advantage and flocked over the new townsite in large numbers, more than 500 being present. Everyone took decided interest In the proceedings and in the company's prop ositlon. Soon after the arrival of the special train from Portland, it was dis covered that not enough provision had been procurred by half, which was the signal for an automobile trip to neighboring towns to supplement the supply of eatables on hand. A flying trip was made a large Buick automobile being used for the purpose, with C. C Perrine at the wheel. The towns of Amity, Perry dale and McMinnville were visited be fore meats and provisions in sufficient quantity were to be had, and this In spite of the fact that an entire ox had been roasted to a turn. Large delega tions from Dayton. Salem, McMinnville, Bheridan. Forest Grove. Newberg and other towns fairly swarmed over the newly laid out streets of the town and farm. Already there are signs of a future metropolis at Broadmead' several stores have been started and some have valuable stocks on the prem ises. During the day G. W. Haynes. of Ballston. completed final arrangements to erect his hardware store on lots and 10, block 9. His store will be run nlng in 60 days. Broadmead will soon have Its first church; Rev. W. H Whirry, of McMinnville, and J. F. Bash er, of Amity, having made an agree ment for the Baptists of the district to erect their church home on lots 6 and 7 In block 6. The Rev. Mr. Whirry is state missionary and he says that the work will be commenced Immediately. Residents of Broadmead are busily en gaged in organizing a school which will be built this Fall. Immediate residents of the Broad mead locality are all fully alive to the advantages offered by the banner farm of the Willamette Valley. Many of them have secured tracts which will be put into intensive cultivation. The Co lumbia Trust Company has now launched the first public success In the vast territory it is developing. The great crowd was addressed by T. O. Hague, who dwelt at some length upon the wonderful productiveness of the Willamette Valley. He also called at tention to what had been done in other parts of the United States. He showed what had been successfully done by bringing the value of townsite lots and acreage within the reach of the hum blest investor what the valleys of New York have done for New York City, and those of the Mississippi have done for St. Louis and New Orleans, and he showed by conclusive arguments that their history would be repeated at Broadmead. Strangers to Broadmead were heard to express themselves with reference to the location and resources as con sidering it unparalleled. Peterson Bros., the proprietors of the new gen eral store, were swamped with business, and the restaurant, which is conducted next door, sold an immense quantity of ice cream, pop and ice cream cones. It cleaned out its entire stock. During the day the company had no less than a half dozen automobiles busy, making It possible to show a great number of people over the entire tract. The grand success of the excursion reflects great credit upon the company and a great share of it is due F. D. Culver, mho had charge of affairs on the ground. The sale continued right up .to train time and everyone congrat ulated everyone else on the great suc cess of the day. The company's mas cot, a genuine highly bred donkey and a native of Broadmead. was unfortu nately left behind when the train pulled out in the morning. Portland became very familiar with him. however, dur ing the short time he appeared In the business district. STEAMER TRIP TO MOUTH OF COLUMBIA.

REMOVES FROM OLYMPIA After Factory Is Destroyed by Fire, Various Sites Are Inspected, but Portland Suburb Is Chosen for $400,000 Concern. That Olympia has been forsaken by the National Wood Pipe Company for Kenton, only a few miles from Port land, is indicated through the purchase last week by the manufacturers, of 15 acres of land between Columbia boule vard and Columbia Slough, in the Ken ton townsite. R. B. Lloyd, general man ager of the company, yesterday ad mitted the purchase of the factory site, but would not divulge the manufact urers' plans. From authoritative sources, however, It was learned the company contemplated building, soon, a $400,000 plant on the Kenton site. The factory will give employment to 175 men. A few months ago the main plant of the National Wood Pipe Company at Olympia, was destroyed by fire, the loss resulting being ap proximately J250.000. After that, offi cials of the company visited many points in the Northwest before deciding upon a new site for its headquarters, and that Kenton has been selected is regarded as most complimentary to Portland, the nearest metropolis. The annual consumption of timber by the National Wood Pipe Company amounts to millions of feet a year and. It is said, the concern has a monopoly In supplying wooden pipe and tanks for the principal water systems from Alaska to Mexico. Two other plants are maintained by the National Wood Pipe Company, one of these in San Francisco and the other in Los Angeles. These, it is said, will be subservient to the Kenton plant, for it Is evidently the intention of the manufacturers to make the factory in Kenton Its distributing center. It was reported yesterday ar rangements had been made to begin grading for the Kenton plant within a fortnight. The price paid for the plant site at Kenton Is withheld, but it is under stood a large sum passed hands in the transaction. Ralph H. Lloyd, general manager of the pipe company, and George Heusner, general manager of the Kenwood Land Company, were the representatives in the big deal. While General Manager Lloyd was reticent in announcing his company's plans, he stated yesterday the deal would be con summated this week and that the new plant would far excel the former Olym pia factory.

McQulston. cham pions of Mexico, in the Anal round of play.
