coast. Speaking of the coast re
minds us of a rumor that is abroad
to the effect that there is disagree

posed to prom bit hshing on Sunday.
This hardly seems reasonable and
we presume it is a canard .

sitice they had a hearing some
mouths ago. Mr. Green, during

F. L. Miller and Grover Headrick
called on Gene recently to overlook
his flock and Mr. Headrick discov
ered that some of the birds were "off
color." This led to an investigation
that resulted in a disagreement, Mr.
Headrick declaring the "off color'
birds to be young grouse, Mr. Miller
that they were hybrids half China
and half grouse while 'Gene main
tains that they are all China and
nothing else. These fanciers disa

. feather sufficient to settle the aues-
tion and somebody will smoke.

OREGONIANS WIN OUT.
O. A. C. Takes Several Firsts
Multnomah 91, Seattle 39.
On account of OAC athletes be
ing: given prominence in the snnru
at the Exposition last week it is
a matter ol great interest to peo
ple of this town. Our boys en
tered the various contests under
Multnomah's colors. The result
of Friday's contests
satisfactory from our point or
view, in the 440-dash Williams
was first with Greenhaw a rinse
second. Both are OAC sprinters.
dmunson was not in good condi
tion and Williams took the 100
yard dash. The following re
ports have been given out.
Multnomah leads in the P. N.
A. championship games, the first
seven events of which took place
on the Exposition stadium yes
terday afternoon. Athletes from
all parts of the Northwest com
peted for points, and at the close
of the day the representatives of
the Multnomah Club had piled up
39 tallies agains 23 for Seattle
and 1 for the Brockton Point
Athletic Club.
Interesting features of yester
day's meet was the broad jump
and the 56-pound weight. The
latter event was not included in
collegiate meets, and hence has
not been seen on local fields for
some time. McDonald of Seattle
broke the Northwest record by
tossing the weight out 27 feet
9 inches.
The 440-yard dash was run in
the remarkably quick time of
5 35 Williams and Greenhaw
making a very close finish at the
taps. The hundred was not run
as fast as expected, due to the
fact that Smithson, who makes
the distance in 10 flat, had a
sprained tenden, and could not
do himself justice. His running
mate Williams took first at 10 2-5.
The weather was ideal, and the
track in good condition. The
remaining eight events will be
pulled off this afternoon on " the
stadium,commencing at 30' clock.

hurdles in fine style, leading his
opponents by good distance and
finishing in 16 3-5 seconds.
Moores, who was Multnomah's
other representative in this race,
fell over .one of the first hurdles.
and spoiled his chances, : which
were very good.
The high jump went to Bert
Kerrigan, of Multnomah, at 5
feet 11 inches, with Grant, of
Seattle, a close second. The
