Has Bot Ele Blooded Arabian Horses aI1,l Had Others Given Win All Humanity Is Kin by Bonds of Sym pathy and Conunon Motives and Tl of Affection Has Little Use for Aleppo, an Ancient Arabian Clly. L. B. Geer, of Marion county, an uncle of Homer Davenport, the well known cartoonist, who Is now in Ara bia, collecting some choice specimens of Arabian horses, has Just received a letter from Mr. Davenport, as follows: Aleppo, August 18, 1906. t write to say that I have just returned from the Interior of the desert; that while thin and ragged I am well. The heat ran about 113 to 11S In the shade, but we stood It. I am tired from the sad dle, but have as a reward the pick of all the desert tribes. Something seems to guide me, as on meeting Aktnut Haffez, the ruler of all the tribes, he went personally with me, and when the governor of Aleppo asked him how many soldiers I want ed. I told him none. So Haffes says that I brot smiles in stead of soldiers to the Bedowen. Thus I won their hearts and got horses and mares and no money could have bot To this big-hearted man, tho without the interpreter I could not speak a word, still when I told him' the stories of Silverton and of my mother and father, he told me things that show me that maps only show the division of land and water that the brotherhood of man runs through all races the world over. We rode nights over the desert even without a moon, and they killed sheep and we ate all day. I am anxious to get out of this old city. The filth Is awful. The streets are just wide enough to let one car riage down a street so when they meet some one has to back to the closest cross street We are hoping to escape the "Aleppo button," a sore that comes on the face of every one. Noth ing can cure It, and no medical study has revealed Us cause. It lasts about a year, then it hlsappeara, leaving a white scar that is called the "Aleppo button." , ' 'HCpe to start the horses and mares tomorrow night for Beirut, 200 miles .and. once there I will ship to Naples; thence to America. Of course I haven't had any news from ary part of Europe for a month. There are no newspapers published here, though it is a place of 250,000 people. I notice lota of gazells pets In the vacant lots and the hyenas come to the very edge of town to dig into graves; camel graves In particular. The governor of Aleppo has just made me another present; a 2-year-old stud colt, the finest I have seen. He came from the Gornusa tribe. He Is bay, nearly 15 hands high now. The beat is making me pant In this house they call a hotel, and I'll quit till I get to America. Give my love to everybody In the mils. Homer Davenport. String of Vat Saddle Animals Going to Wnlla Walln. One of the principal events that has been scheduled for the Walla Walla fair next week Is a relay race for sad dle horses, says the Athena Press. W. R. Taylor, of this city, has entered a string of fleet footed ponies and will participate In the race which offers a purse of $300 to the, winner and 1 75 to the one taking second place. It is expected that Mr. Taylor's principal competitor In the race will be the Drumhellers, who with Fay L Grow of this city, own a large stock ranch on Crab creek, and who ave In their possession some finely bred saddle horses. The relay race will be one of the most exciting and Interesting speed contests on the lists of the Walln Walla fair association and has brought out for entry some of the best horses In the northwest. The distance of the race is 12 miles. Two miles will be covered each day of the fair, four horses being used In relay. The riders will unsaddle and change horses at each half mile post f the course. Mr. Taylor will ride his horses In the race. Government Takes the Dredge Boat Wallowa to Lewiston. The government dredge, Wallowa, with Captain Wlnslow In charge. Is anchored above the ferry landing on ITS Lewiston side of Snake river, says the Lewiston Tribune. The boat Is anchored quite a ways out In the stream and communication with the shore is had by a small boat. The Wallowa had some difficulty in run ning the rapids between the turn and Lewiston and a greater part of Sat urday afternoon was spent In lining the boat over them. The Wallowa has just come from a successful season of dredging opera tions on the lower Snake, cleaning out the channel and removing dangerous boulders In the course of navigation. She will remain here until a sufficient stage of water to continue operations. When two strong men come to blows, even If they are well matched It Is not a pleasing sight, but If the man who gets the worst of It will use DeWttt's Witch Hazel Salve, he will look better and feel better 'n short order.
