There will be five races for automo bile" Including two events for touring cars at five miles; a race for run-' abouts at five miles, and a 20-mlle contest for stripped stock. classes.

In April Stevens, the Yale sprinter, who in spite of an Injured leg, per formed so brilliantly against Harvard, took Cartmell's measure and today he looks good to repeat In the inter collegiate. Cornell Is not hoping for much In the sprints or In the hurdles, but Yalo In the latter events expects to pick up a few points with Howe and Rob bins, although Shaw of Dartmouth is conceded fast. With Garrells out of the running. Robbing has a look In for a second In the 120-yard event, while Howe may land a third In the 220-yard timbers. Taylor of Penn. If right Is booked for the quarter. Coholan of Yale was second in this event a year ago, and while Trainer Johnny Mack will be without his services at the coming games, he has In LaMontagne a fine 440-yard man who may be a second place winner, although he will have a hard fight for It with Carpenter of Cornell. Cornell has for the past three years shown great strength In the distance run, and it Is in the half, mile and two-mile events that Trainer Jack Moakley will again make his grand fight. Here again he will have to face men trained to the minute by Keene Fitzpatrlck, and some more grand races and close finishes between the Ithacans and Wolverines are expected to take place. Yale also may slip In for a few points In all of the runs that will help out In the grand total and land her a winner. Cook of Cornell looks like a winner of the broad Jump, for recently he covered 23 feet 1H inches. Michigan also has some good men for this event and the chances are that the two col leges will divide the points unless Simons vf Princeton slips In for a place. In the pole vault. Cook of Cornell. Gilbert of Yale, and Dray of Yale, should have a great fight, and the points here will look as If they would be divided between the two colleges. The high Jump and shot put are very doubtful events. This is chiefly because there are no excptionally good men. Kruger of Swarthmore. should be the winner in the latter. Horr of Syracuse, Is booked for a first in the hammer, but Cooney of Yale, should take a second. Taken as a whole, the meet this year should be an exceptional one, with a close fight between Cornell, Yale, Michigan and perhaps Penn sylvania all the way. There's not a headache or a sleepless hour in a barrel of Ghirardelli's Cocoa Can you say as much for any other drinh? CORNELL OR YALE PICKED TO WI. Philadelphia. May 29. The pick and pink of the athletes of all the great universities and colleges of the east and middle west congregated on rranklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania today for the prelimi nary events In the big Inter-collegiate championship meet. Cornell or Yale is picked as the winner by the majori ty of the experts, although It is admit ted that Michigan and Pennsylvania have a fighting chance. Harvard and Princeton are believed to be hopeless ly out of the race. The meet will be continued tomorrow, when the big events of the program will be decided. Pennsylvania, the winner of a year ago, does not size up formidably, for while Stevens, the Yale sprinter. Is cutting Into Mike Murphy's hopes in the dashes, Cornell distance men will te doing things in the runs. The University of Michigan will again be the dark horse In the run ning. Princeton, Harvard, Syracuse and Dartmouth will trail. Recently Yale and Cornell both showed their real strength, for while the wearers of the blue were down ing the crimson 60 1-5 points to 43 4-5, Cornell took the Princeton Tigers Into camp by a score of 80 to 37. Cartmell and Whitman of Pennsyl vania at the past two Intercollegiate Hon. G. W. riH-liw. (Irrlgon Irrigator.) Four years ago when Mr. Phelps was elected prosecuting attorney for this district, embracing Umatilla and Morrow counties, there were some who did not think "Bert" had the backbone to enforce the law In Pen dleton as to gambling and unlawful liquor selling, and there were others who did not think he could hold his own against some of the able attor neys of this district when pitted against them In important cases. But Mr. Phelps has not onty done his full duty against the lawbreak ers of Pendleton and all other parts of the district, but he has worsted every attorney who ran against him, or at least he has won nine-tenths of the suits he has Instituted, convic ted more than nine-tenths of the criminals he has prosecuted, and It must be remembered that he has had to handle almost twice as many crim inal cases as any former prosecutor in the district. Having made such an exceptionally good record, one of ,the best ever made by a public prosecutor In Ore gon, "Bert" now asks our votes again and he should get every ballot cast In Morrow county for that office. Let us show him, and the people at large, that we appreciate the sort of work he has done, and return him by an overwhelming majority. When your food seems to nauseate tike Kodol.

Remarkable Admissions Made By the Foremost Prohibition Journal in This Country. The National Prohibitionists of Chicago and New York, In their Issue of January 9, 1908, quoting the official statistics, showing the revenues from beer and spirits during 1906 to have been $199,035,913, and in 1907, 1215,904,720, In an editorial makes the following comment: "It seems to us that these figures teach, as clearly as any thing can be taught, that the kind of prohibition which we have had up to the present time la not a cure for the drink evil and does not even approach a cure. We are frequently told that many millions, a third, perhaps a half of the popula tion of the United States, live under prohibition. The state ment Is true only In a very mod ified sense, and the showing of the article In question empha sizes Us lack of exactness. "In strict fact, no part of the United States today has real prohibition. The sale of liquor is forbidden In certain sections; the manufacturer of liquor Is also forbidden within limited areas. The forbidding Is made good so far aa the manufacture Is concerned, in the greater part of the so-called Prohibition ter ritory, and we begin to have considerable sections of the country where comparatively little liquor is sold, but the re suits of drink selling in the wider sphere of Its Influence still reach the whole country, and, to a very large extent, through Interstate commerce and other meant, drink-selling goes on through the whole country."
