Evan Evans is the owner of a Per cheron mare of which he is justly proud, three of her four colts at the recent state tair having taken nrst premiums while the fourth was awarded second prize.

The appendix had burst, but the operation was successful and the little lady is on the road to rapid recovery. Ford Interferes With Street Car Traffic and Demolishes Fences. A man living down at Monmouth is willing to bet 20 to 1 that the mean est horses never were as balky as some automobiles. He is George T. Boothby, a promi nent stockman, who has been dealing in horses all his lite. He hns mltlen on horseback over every h'ail and by path between the Cascade mountains and the coast, and it is said that he has lieen able to ride any kind of a "hoss" from the wildest range pony down to the family mare. But not long ago Mr. Boothby for sook the horse and bought a Fan' automobile, and 'he has had such a tough time breaking in the new rig that he has run out ot suitable aa iectives. Even yet, however, the Ford is not "bridlewise. The-other day, so friends say, while Mr. Boothby was driving in style down through the streets of Eugene, his car "shied" at a charging street car and clipped a fr actional dividend off the corporation receipts. Later, while returning to his home in Polk, the car skidded on a country road and landed in a deep ditch quick er than a flash. But Mr. Boothby wasn't to be stumped by that sort of bucking. Without allowing the thing to stop, he dug his spurs into the in ternals of the thing. Sure enough he got out of the ditch. But in doing so he had pulled the bridle the wrong way, so to speak. As a result the car carved out a few sections of stub born fence and landed in a peaceful field that gave him enough rope to ramble lor the balance ot the day without interference. Mr. Boothby has a hard time now relating the antics of his new vehicle in the language of the fraternity of stockmen, but the laughs that his vans provoke indicate that he ex presses his feelings fairly well. Ore gon! an. NINE INJURED IN WEEK. Of Only 181 Accidents Reported Three Prove Fatal.
