LONDON, March U. Today the Eng lish flat racing season commences in Lincoln, several mile north of London. The piece de resistance of the meeting Is the mile handicap, worth $10,000, which has for nearly a century been the first Important race of the year. After January 1, when the entrle r made, the Lincoln is always a popular medium of speculation, and all the 20 of more starters who are expected to show up tomorrow have been heavily backed. Though the soil of the Carholme, as the moor on which the race track is situated is called, is a sandy loam, the going at this season of the year Is gen erally holding, so lightly weighted old horses are usually to the for in the race. This is not always the case, how ever, for though the course, which Is perfectly straight and almost level. Is aid to be 17 yards over a mile, Bendigo won In 1886 In the phenomenal time of 1.38, although he carried 117 pounds. The famous filly Sceptre, for whom her owner. R. B. Blevler. paid the record price of $60,000 as a yearling, and who won four out of five of the classic events on the English turf last year, has been allotted top weight this year, 127 pounds. The American horse Conroy II. owned by J. R. and F. P. Keene, and who won the Brooklyn handicap of lfOlas a 3- ear-old. being the only racer of that age to accomplish the feat, has been as signed 114 pounds, i 'up and Bells, owned by Foxhall Keene. has forfeited for this event. William K. Vanderbllt's French-bred colt Bright, a 4-year-old, is In at 109 pounds. Watershed, the American horse, who won the Cambridge shire of 1901 for W. C Whitney, bat who is now owned by Lord d Walden, has been assigned 106 pounds. The Lincoln meeting lasts only three days, after which racing is transferred to Liverpool to flnleh up the week. There the Spring Cup Is a feature, but it Is entirely overshadowed by the Orand National, which, with the exception of the Derby, attracts the biggest crowd of any race In the world. The distance is four and one-half miles, and the num ber of obstacles to be crossed 32. The Derby will be run on May 2T, and the Oaks, for once in a way, on Oak Apple Day. Ascot, which promises to be a grand meeting this year, will be held on June 16 and the three following days. As Royalty intends patronizing Good wood, the Sussex fixture is expected to prove a big draw. It opens July 28. The St. Leger. another big race of the year, will be run early in September. S.M.S.

"Why does not Portland put a steamer line into service to Alaska T" was the question a reporter for The Journal found himself faced with when he ac costed C. D. Garneld this morning in th lobby of the Hotel Portland. "There is vry reason why Portland should get her share of the Alaskan business and not one reason why she should not." Mr. Garfield continued. "Th demand is there, th money is there and only the enterprise scams lacking. It wife Alaskan gold that mad Seattle .what it la. Seattle supplied th necessities uf life to those in the North and when they made their fortunes they went back to Seattle to spend their money or to locate. We will admit that Portland Is already prosperous and does not require to be 'made in the common acceptance of that term, but there Is al ways room for Improvement." C. D. Garfield arrived In this city this morning and will leave again tonight for Seattle. He hss been three weeks out from Juneau, where he Is manager for the Lemon Creek Hydiaunc Mining Com pany, and during his brief stay in Port land was In consultation with several capitalists.

If he meant It. too, and when he went on I there was evidence of thorough famll ' larlty with the subject In hand. I "All kinds of farm produce, hay, I grain, vegetables, poultry and dairy . products, iinu meats as well, are greatly ' In demand." he said. "There would never be a worthy article go to waste if : shipped Into the North and the price j brought would be excellent. The whole i sale houses, too, could make large re- j i turns on goods. Even as it Is. there is some business done with Portland wholesale firms, but the consignments have to be freighted to Seattle by train and from there shipped on the boats. This Is a terrible drawoack to business from Portland's point of view, even though this city has older and better qualified wholesale stores than Seattle or any other point In the Northwest. X Asks Investigation. "If the business men of Portland would only Investigate the Alaskan trade, they could not help seeing the great advantage that would result to them from participating In It. They made the mistake of a lifetime when they withdrew their steamers . from the Alaskan run. They may have thought the gold finds were over and that the rush Into Alaska would cease, but If they did they were far wrong. There Is more gold there than has been taken out, and the rush, while It may have slackened off, will never cease, for pos sibilities are unlimited." Mr. Garfield declares that, although BICYCLES "The Best Wheels on Earth." FOR STANDARD MODELS And Don't Forget Automobiles You should be investigating the matter now. We have some Exceptional Bargains right now. It will pay you to give u a call. FRED T. MERRILL CYCLE CO. Incorporated Everyone Knows Where. much of th gloss and glltUr of th fab ulously rich Klondike ha been re moved, the true worth remain and that business established In that coun try today will be upon a Arm and sub stantial basis. He point to th coal and oil fields as well as to th gold mines and say that agricultural open ings are wonderful. 'The Tanana and Copper River Val leys are rich in agricultural possibil ities," he said, "and hundred will go in there this year to locate farms. The seasons are shorter there, but the cli mate is no more rigorous than 1 that of North Dakota. And In Alaska" he con tinued with a smile, "there Is more sun light while the season last and the hardier vegetable and cereals can sec to grow by night as well as day." Mr. Garfield thinks Portland steamer should go North by the inside passage and touch at all point where trade centers.
