Vknna Sret I pan, Son of "The
Zoo" Win Race
WINNFR ORAN0SON 0I! MAki: BtllLAII
Bole AnlmiU Formerly Owned by J.
E. Rcevci
At the recent Trottinjr Derby at
Vienna, Austria, thousands saw
Ispan. the four year old, black
with white points, win hands
down over a large field of con
testants, averaging 2:1$ over a
course that lacked hut a few
meters of being two miles.
.This is of special interest to
Washington County horsemen
because Ispan is son of "The
Zoo," a stallion bred and foaled
by J. E. Reeves. Ispan won the
Derby last year. His grand
mother was Beulah, owned by
Mr. Reeves, and the youngster
ia a second cousin of the Reeves
colt, two year old, now driven
for Mr. Reeves by Clem Shaner.
Qf Jolly Plains.
'The Zoo" was Bold by Mr.
Reeves years ago, and he was
again sold in New Yolk for
15,000, to a Russian Grand Duke,
who took the 2:09 trotter to
Vienna and St. Petersburg for
the atud. His sons and daugh
ters have been consistent win
ners on the Russian and Austrian
grand circuits, beating the local
horses and the gets of other
American stallions imported into
that part of the world.
The colt Ispan is a grandson of
Zombro, 2:11, an Oregon horse.
The derby won by Japan spelled
thousands of dollars for the
owner.
Speaking of the race, thp
Austrian dispatch says:
"There were seven starters.
Ispan seemed to get a bad start
although he had the jxile. In a
few hundred yards he gained the
lead and soon had a gap of 20
yards between him and his con
testants. He Beemed a sure win
ner but about 500 yards from
home Ira Ryerson, the American
reinsman came like a shot with
New York, a son of San Fran
cisco, 2:07 3 4, and it looked as
if there would be a struggle.
Baron Von Watcher, who drove
Ispan, had but to touch the colt
with the whip, and he moved
iwittly away from New York,
winning by plenty of daylight."

The home of C. F. Runaen
caught tire Monday morning.
The contents were nearly all
saved. The building was dam
aged at least $200. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but is
supposed to be a defective flue.
The fire was first discovered by
one of the little daughters, and
nothing was saved from the up
per story, the smoke being too
dense to permit one entering.
The little infant of Mr. and Mrs.
Hunsen was taken down stairs
early in the morning, something
unusual, as it sleeps late. When
the mother awakened in the
morning the babe was awake
and she carried it with her. It
was but a few minutes later
when 4he fire was discovered,
and the upper story was then
filled with smoke. Had the
child remained in bed it would
been next to impossible to have
saved it. j

warm weather has been nadly
needed.. The crop is excellent in
almost all the yards, and picking
will probably commence about
the first of the month. Nearly
all yards are offering $1 per hun

Hillsboro, Ore., used to hold
one of the best rural fairs in the
entire Northwest and. although
the people who had all the work
to do and got little thanks for it
got tired and quit, the feeling
has always been that there should
be a fair held every year. After
a long rest, Hillsboro is going to
hold a fair this fall and next
year will make an effort to hold
the best county fair in Oregon.
A general committee composed
of W. W. Boscow, Samuel Weil,
and G. A. Patterson has been
appointed to organize the fair
and get everyone to work to make
it a success. Rural Spirit.
Chas. Hickethier, of Cedar
Mill, was in the city Saturday,
registering as a legal voter. Mr.
Hickethier's father, Daniel Hic
kethier, became a citizen at
Utica, New York, in 1855, and
father and son then moved to
Iowa, where they both enliated
in the Civil War. Since last
February Mr. Hickethier has
tried to get proof of his father's
citizenship, and application to
four places in Iowa found nothing
decisive. As a last resort, even
after Mr. Hickethier had mado a
visit back to Iowa this Summer,
and failed in his search, a letter
waq sent to the District Clerk at
Utica, Oneida Co., New York,
and here was found the natural
ization papers. Chas. has at last
found out that he was a full
fledged citizen since he was of
age, and has the papers to show
for it.

lant Friday afternoon and for
two days there was much anxiety

was lost along Galea Creek.
A search Dartv was Instituted
and the creek was searched all

Mrs. Caules was found tt St.
Johns, by a neighbor who was
visiting friends in the Portland

Caules is a sister of Surveyor

Shannon, of this city.
Before leaving the Caples home
Mrs, Caples had donned some
old clothing and divested herself
of two rings she had always
worn. Her silence and the tact
thai she bad not been well caused
the family to fear that she had
wandered away while suffering
from a temporary abberration.
