EXPENSIVE WRECK
The wreck mentioned in lent woek's
Argus, as occurring late Thursday
evening, at the Wood . hopyard,
west of the station, was a very ex
pensive one for the company. The
engine of the extra freight crashed
into the caboose of the regular
freight, and demolished it complete
ly, throwing the oar clear up on
top of the engine' front end. It
was necessary to send for a wreck
ing train, which arrived five hours
after the wreck took place. Twen
ty men had the wreck cleared by
tour in the morning Friday, letting
the Sheridan and Forest Qrove
midnight trains out about day.
light, after an all night wait at the
station. Many Forest Qrove peo

Shotgun or a crowbar. Last Fri

Tongue entered his colt Lord Love
lace, making his entry on the blank
supplied to him by the secretary of
the rair Board, Wylie A. Moores,
and complying with all the required
conditions. Brents entered bis Lou
Lady in the same manner and nu
merous other entries ware made.
The race was called and took place
according to the program and Lord
Lovelace took first place in both
heats snd Lou Lady second place,
and it was so declared by the pre
siding judge. The stake was $300,
and Tongue alleges that the en
trance money to be added thereto
was $350. He avers that the first
money was $130 and the second
Go, and demands judgment for the
total, 15.
; Ex-Sreretary Wylie A. Moorfs
says that the controversy between
Tongue and the State Fair Board
arose out of the fact that there were
only two starters in the race for the
Juvenile stake and after the race
the board declared its in'enlion to
divide the money between the win
ners in a different proportion than
was announced npon the entry
blanks. This right they claimed
under the rules. Tcngus contend
ed that if the board choie to change
the manner of dividing the puree,
the intention should have been an
nounced before the horses started.
The matter was taken before the
National Trotting Association and
decided adversely to Tongue, and
this action was brought to test the
question in the courts.

How is it with the young people of your household? Are
they saving money? Have they learned to appreciate the
value of the dollar? Are you endeavoring to instill into
their minds correct ideaB concerning thrift and economy?
Are you seeking the opportunity to "bend the twig?"
Would you like to listen to a plain suggestion? If so, here
it is:
Send the young folks to our bank with the first spare -dollar
that comes into their hands. The next dollar should
be treated in like manner, and the practice so continued
until a fixed habit of saving has been established. A good
ly bank account will soon result; the young folks will get
an inkling of the ways of business, snd, being thus "in
clined" are likely to grow up into straight and thrifty
manhood.
