The races will be according to the schedule worked out by the MM Columbia Racing association. Entries CUT-OFF NOT A PAVEMENT While Shorter to Portland Dust and Rough Spot Prevail The scenta' beauty of the Waplnl tla cut-off is not excelled by any other section of Oregon. That route Is about 30 miles shorter than the highway to The Dalles and then on to the metropolis but it is far from being a model thoroughfare at this time. There are nearly twenty miles yet to be completd, and that distance is enough to make an autoist tear his hair, and ranC Dust, ruts, narrow roadway make the trip over that road anything but a pleasure. Whero completed the highway is a model of smoothness, and when the road is finished will appeal to alf going and coming from Portland. Off To Heights.

A feature of the race program will be that every heat constitutes a race, and that no two in three or three in five heat will be run to determine a winner. The Indian department promises great things. Our dusky neighbor.!, at least the feminine portion, ha7? learned that all have a chance to zA cash premiums for their displays and many of them have been workng hard to finish and exhibit the resaft o their handiwork.

L0NCV1EW THE MAGIC CITY OP LOWER COLUMBIA RIVER From Nothing lo 11,000 People in Four Years Resemble Work f Arabian Night Magi ( The Times man improved an op portunity last week to visit the new city of longvlew. To say that he was surprised at tho wonderful growth and appearance of that city would be putting it mildly, rather he was astonished at what he saw and learned of the place. Four years ago the Long-Bell Lumber company acquired title to several hundred acres of farm land lying across the Cowlitz river from Kelso and extending along the Co lumbia. Before a stake .was driven the city had been laid out on blue prints, even the parking system be ing pictured. Then those in charge began work. Streets were laid out, building sites cleared where neces sary, water pipes laid and building begun. A cattail swamp was drained and dredged, banked and sodded. To day the swamp is called Sacajawea Lake and is ft beauty spot of the city. A large sawmill was built and with it came other lines fo business. Mag nificent buildings were erected, each one as near fireproof as can be; 40 miles of streets were paved, 80 miles '" " ' ' ; of sidewalks put in; electric lighting j Bought Maupin Property, system Installed; a fine community, jj, gedln pmhased the church erected and business began to :Linn iot'aruj cottage, next to F. C hum. Adjoining the city of Longview the Weyerhauser Lumber company company has acquired a mill site and it was told us that company will in the near future, erect a sawmill larger than any yet funning. , A large paper mill is now receiving ma chinery, "while a atrawboard factory is already in operation. The city re joices in having one of the finest railway stations in the west and soon trains will' be making regular stops at Longview. A magnificent hotel caters to the desires of guests, and is surrounded by ft parking system that well might be tthe envy of other cities. Business at Longview seems to be humming along. As an education al center it is in a class by itself. One of Longview's school buildings has a capacity of 2,200 students, while several grade schools and a fine high School structure guarantees the three R's shall be taught those attending the schools. , We have neither space nor time to enumrate just what Longview really is but we will say that from the meager time we had to inspect the city, we were impressed wth its pos sibilities, and to prdict that it will no tbe long before it will be a strong rival for the shipping supremacy of the west Those who built the city were wise aid foresighted, for there is no place on the Pacific coast where such a city has sprung up in so short a time, neither has any city provided for future growth as has Longview. Ha Haag Washer. , ' Mrs. T. L Ashley will now cease rubbing blisters on her knuckles on a washboard. Yesterday Hampton's Furniture company delivered a fine Haag washer to the Ashley home, and now the chief troubles ofothat housewife are at an end. - b Pulled in Road Outfit.
