France la the Greatest Horse Raising
Country on Earth Government

Horses and the French Railroads

t Now at Mr. Ruby's Stables in Tills
City.
From Nogent, France, the center of
the greatest horse district In the
world and the home of the far-famed
Perc heron, 35 head of selected horses
and mares, several of them prize win
ners there, have been brought to Pen
dleton by A, C. Ruby.
Mr. Ruby arrived home a few days
ago after seven weeks of busy trav
eling on the continent, most of which
time was spent at Nogent and in Eng
land, HtUe time being given to sight
seeing. Vnen he arrived here from
New York one carload of his horses
had already been here 4 Whole nay,
having been shipped here from New
York In three days and 17 hours,
foster than the ordinary passenger
time.
For those who are interested In
horses and the scientific raising of
such the following Interview with
Mr. Ruby concerning the methods
and conditions found In France will
certainly be of great interest.
According to Mr. Ruby horse rais
ing Is one of the greatest Industries
of the French nation and every means
Is employed to keep It such. The
city of Nogent is the center of the
horse district and from there fine
animals are shipped all over the
.world. It is the boast of the French
that their horses are sent to every
civilized country on the globe.
From Cherbourg, the seaport, at
which he landed, Mr. Ruby, who was
accompanied on the trip by his
brother from Nebraska, proceeded to
Nogent, passing through Paris on the
way and at that city an Interpreter
was secured, trading being greatly fa
cilitated by having such. The meth
od of purchasing horses there is said
to differ greatly from the usual
"horse swap" In America Theer it
Is said to be purely a matter of figur
ing, the buyer and seller sitting at
a table until an understanding Is
reached, the price always being ex
pressed In francs Instead of dollars,
The Government Helps.
- "Why do American buyers go to
France fo,- fine horses and what ad
vantages do they have there over
others?" Mr. Ruby was asked.

His answer was that because they
have been bred there longer than In
any other country and greater care
Is taken to improve the stock than
elsewhere. In France the horse In
dustry is regarded as so Important
that the government has taken hold
of It and In order to hold the repu
tation now established everything
possible Is done. For the present year
it is said that 700,000 francs, or $140,
000 has been devoted by the French
government to the work. The plan Is
for the government to purchase a
score or more of the very finest
horses each year and these are then
used for breeding purposes. As a
result the main object has become the
improvement of the breed and not
money making.
Every colt sired by a government
horse is rigidly graded and If found
equal to the requirements is branded
on the left side of the neck under
the mane with a dollar mark. Also
the requirements for the registration
of pure blood animals are much more
thorough in that country than in
America and it Is said to be Impossi
ble to have anything but a pure-bred
registered.
Railroads Are Interested.
Assistance is also given by the
transportation companies to breed
ers of fine horses In France. Ac
cording to Mr. Ruby, lower rates are
allowed on fine horses there than on
Common stock In order to encourage
the Industry, whereas he states that,
one and a half are Is charged fof
their shipment in this country. Ac
cording to him, the favors shown by
the railroads there are valuable to
the Industry and are In making it the
greatest of its kind in the world.
Aside from the 25 Percherons pur
chased by Mr. Ruby in France he al
so secured 12 others, 10 of which
were English shires bought at Lon
don. Of this number one, which is
now here, had just, taken the second
prize In the stock show. A number of
the animals have been left In Ne
braska for a time. From these that
are here it "Is Mr. Ruby's intention
to send a carload to Portland to be
on exhibit at the fair as soon as they
have recovered from the effects of
their trip.

W. 8. Perry, who for several yearn
past has been employed in the Rader

Nolf. The deal was agreed upon yes
terdav afternoon and the store is now
closed while an Inventory of th stock
is being taken. Mr. Nolf was com
pelled to retire from his business ow
ing to poor health, having suffered a
serious break-down a short time ago,
from which he has never fully recov

Returning From the Fair.
Over 50 Union and Wallowa county
people returned home this morning
from the Lewis and Clark expos!

highly and were delighted with the,
treatment they received from the fair
management.
Fine Fruits at the Fair.
The peaches and cherries received

At a meeting of the school board
held last evening a clerk for the en

the new buildings ordered hastened,
and other matters attended to.
For clerk, John Halley, Jr.. who
has held that position for several
terms past, was re-elected, and the
matter of looking up the work on
the buildings was left with him. He
was Instructed to have the contrac
tors rush their work so as to have the
buildings all completed by August 20,
so that the board may have the time
between then and the opening of
school In which to fit the new rooms
with furniture an otherwise prepare
the buildings for occupancy. It is
said that but little new furniture will
have to be purchased by the board,
as they already have nearly enough
seats for the new buildings.
All of the teachers who were em
ployed by the board for the coming
year have now signed their contracts
and it Is expected all will be here for
the opening day.
Regarding the charges that have
been circulated regarding Superintendent-elect
Traver the board has made
a careful examination and members
state that they found the charge of
dishonesty, etc., to be without foun
dation and were started by personal'
enemies of the professor. They are
confident that he is an educator of
great ability and In fact say that even
his personal enemies admit thas
much. He Is expected to arrive here
about August 1 and will then take
charge of the preparations for the
opening of school and assist the
board in the assigning of grades and
such matters.
BUYS AURORA CRUSHER.
City Council Indorsed Action of Spe
rial Committee Last Evening.
At the adjourned meeting of the
city council yesterday afternoon :he
purchase of an Aurora No. 2 rock
Crusher of. gcall go, of Portland,
was authorized by ordinance and the
special committee given power to con
tract with that firm for the delivery
of the same. The machine is to coht
the sum of $1690 f. o. b. Pendleton,
and is to be deliveerd here in August.
Considerable rivalry was encoun
tered by the council when they came
to buying the crusher, there being two
companies in particular that desired
to make the sale Beall & Co., and
the National Drill company. The
bidding by the latter was done through
A. Kunkel & Co., and a special repre
sentative of the factory was present.
The latter declared that the matter
was not handled In a fair and open
way and that he was discriminated
against by the committee.
However the suggestions of the
committee were finally adopted and
the ordinance was carried by a unan
imous vote. The city will use Its rock
crusher In co-operation with the road
roller which the county recently pur
chased of the Buffalo-Pitts Co.

OREGON. FRIDAY, JULY 7, 190S.

AXTOXIO APACHE TRAVELS
FOR GREAT PAPERS.
Full Blood Apache Indian and Grad
uate of Cambridge University, Enir
land, Spent a Day Here, and Visited
Umatilla Reservation In Company
With Charles J. Ferguson Highly
Educated Man and Splendid Speci
men of Manhood Left for Portland
Last Night.
Antonio Apache, a full blooded
Apache Indian, born In Arizona, who
was in the city yesterday, Is probably
one of the most remarkable members
of his race In tho world. He is a
graduate of Cambridge University,
England, and is now a traveling cor
respondent for the London Times and
the World's Work.
He has just returned from a trip to
the Orient, where he has been in the
Interest of the above publications, and
came here for the purpose of visiting
the Indian enenmpment on the reser
vatlon. Yesterday afternoon he drove
to the camp ground on the reservation
In company with C. J. Ferguson of the
Pendleton Woolen mills, and was
greatly Interested In the Indian there.
He gave as his opinion that they are
superior both mentally and In their
general character to most of the In
dians of the West.
On returning to town last evening
the Cambridge graduate Indian visited
Major Lee Moorhouse and secured
some of the latter's pictures to be
used to illustrate his articles for the
London Times. He then left on ihu
night train for Portland, where he will
visit the exposition.
Physically, Antonio Apache Is a
splendid specimen of his race, being
big. broad shouldered and erect, with
a fine, Intelligent face. Those with
whom he conversed while here declare
him to be very much of a scholar and
well informed on nearly all the sub
jects of the day.
He Is still a young man being ap
parently not over 30 years of age. He
was born In Apache county. Northern
Arizona, and during the first part of
his life lived on the reservation there,
where Geronlmo and Apache Kid, two
of the most bloodthirsty Indians ever
known, held sway, and is certainly a
remarkable contrast to most of the
men of his famous tribe,
FISHERIES CAR HERE.
Government's Fish Distributing Party
Visits Pendleton.
One of the distributing cars of the
bureau of fisheries of the department
of commerce and labor Is now on the
side track in the O. R. & N. yard and
Is a very interesting affair. The car
is one of six which are now being
run over the United States for the
purpose of distributing the fish that
are propagated at the various hatch
eries run by the government.
The car here is supplied from the
hatchery at Clackamas and Is carry
ing brook trout, rainbow trout, black
spotted trout and land locked salmon.
The fish are being distributed to ap
plicants that have previously filed
requests with the department.
None have been given out here,
and the car is merely stopping here
until tomorrow morning when It will
be taken to La Grande and other
parts of Union county from which
there have been numerous applica
tions. The propegated fish are kept in
galvanized cans with which the car
is filled and they are supplied with
uir by means of rubber tubes, the air
being pumped through the car by an
engine In one end of the car.
The car is also fitted out with a
kitchen and the force eat and sleep
In the car. They will be here until
tomorrow morning and during the
afternoon and evening local sport
men will have an opportunity to visit
the car should they desire to do so
Tax tlie Express Companies.
How the Oregon legislature can
have overlooked the express com
panles in Oregon all these years Is a
mysters. says the Salem Journal.
They have no passes to give out to
head off legislation.
. They have escaped almost entirely,
Business men who are readers of
the" Atlantic Monthly will be partlcu'
larly interested in the opening article
of the July number. It has to do with
the relations of the express companies
to the railroads and to the public. Its
aim Is to set forth the reasons for the
widespread demand for greater pub
licity In the transactions of these com
panies. The article is written bv
Frank Halgh Dixon, an expert on
transportation problems.
The next legislature should see to
It that the pay for the privilege of do
ing a princely business In Oregon.
But will the people be foolish
enough to leave so just and Important
mattor to the altogether too easily
corrupted legislature.
The Initiative and referendum Is
the only weapon by which these tax
gathering machines can be reached.
Owing tq the greater height of the
new O. R. & N. engines, the water
tanks In the yards at La Grande are
being raised four feet.
