' ' roSCS AND EFFECT.
Cpeed on County Roads Limited to
Twenty-Four , Miles per Hour and
ElghV Miles in. Cities . and Towns
Every' Machine Must Hare Number.
' ? (From Sunday's Daily.) 1
Amone the new lawa whien
effeet yesterday was that for the regu
lation of the use of automobiles on the
county t roaas withia the state., , Al
though automobiles have been: in use
lit this state for the past three years
and numerous accidents, due to careless,
thriving ; and other ; causes, have nap
pened through taer' ageneyi there has
been no law on the statutes under
wheh any redress could be secured by
the injured party from (he driver of
the, machine, who, in many instances
was looked upon as responsible lor the
injuries incurred. , Recognizing the need
of such a law, the last legislature
Drongnt abont -the enactment of the
present - one: which promises to afford
the relief sought by. the general public
. j Doubtless all of the owners of auto
mobiles are aware of the existence of
the new law to regulate the use of their
machines, and they have already begun
to observe its provisions. Under this
law, the owner, of J every automobile,
motorcycle or motor : vehicle shall file
in the offiee of the ; ecretary. of state a
statement of his name and address, to
gether with a tfesenptiou of every sueh
vehicle owned by him, and shall obtain
from the secretary of state a numbered
certincat for each vehicle, which shall
contain the name of the owner and that
he ' has registered in accordance with
the provisions of the act. Upon the
payment of a $3 fee for each certificate
be is issued a number to correspond to
that of his certificate, and which nam
ber shall be displayed on the back of
the automobile in light-colored Arabic
numerals at least three inches high, on
a dark background.
The exact number of automobnes,
motor-cycles, etc, in the state is not
known, but it is estimated at not less
than 200, which means a revenue of at
least $600 from this source. Up to last
evening 31 applications ad been re
ceived for certificates, but their issu
anee has not yet begun. Although the
act prescribes Xhe amount of the fee
to be paid, it makes no provision to
its disposal, and. whether it Is to'rro
into the treasury or is retained by the
secretary of state is the question. The
provisions of this act do notapply to
machines owned bv non-residents oc
this state, providing the owners of such
vehicles have reomplied with- a similar
law of their own or some other state.
Every automobile,, motor-cycle, etc.,
being driven , after daric upon tne
streets of any city or highway of the
country, must carry at least one lighted
.amp in a conspicuous place, showing
white to the' front and red to the rear,
and the license or certificate must be
painted in dark Arabie numerals across
the white glass of the lamp. Ail ma
chines are required to be provided"with
a " muffler' to deaden the, sound, of
the xhaustr end good and efficient
brakes. They must turn to the right
when meeting a team or vehicle on the
rotd, and when passing them must turn
to the left, f 'Perfect control must be
maintained of the machine at all times
when coursing upon the public roade,
and the driver must exercise due care
to prevent, as much as possible, the
frightening of horses they mast slow
down 'to at least eight miles en hour
when meeting a team and, if necessary,
come to a full stop if so signaled by
the driver of a horse or team which
shows signs of violent fright at the
approach of the maehine.
The speed limit . within the thickly
settled or "business portion of any city
or -village in the , state is restricted to
eight 5 miles an hour, nor faster than
eight miles an hour in the country
when within 100 yards of any vehicle
drawn by horses, a The highest speed
permissible to be attained on the coun
try roads is twenty-four miles per
hour, or one mile m two and one-half
minute, and the limit of speed over a
crossing or crosswalk within the limits
of any, city or village in the state is
four miles an hour. The penalties pre
scribed for violations of this act aret
Not exeeeding$25 for the first offense,
50 for the second offense, and not ex
ceeding S10O for any succeeding f-
ense. jBy noting the number upon the

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AS COW
i PUNCHER. "
Invited - by friends from New : York,
close to his family, Roosevelt went to
the west ia July, 1884. to gather ma
terial for his lHk, "The Winning of
the West," says Pearson's for June,
lie had no intention of locating in Da
kota; he had come simply to study
western life and, incidentally, obtain
recreation. Primarily, the aim of his
western life was to be literary, .But
he was so pleased with the country
that s he decided to stay. lie bough
two ranches, both well stocked. Then
began his real western life; the priva
tions and hardships, the scoffs and hard
knocks which polished the rough dia
mond of his youth into the brilliance
of his manhood.1 k.-; . ' "

and neglected not a single detail. In
two. weeks he could swing, the lariat
as well as an expert and brand a calf
as deftly as any ranchman. yi v
His .associates, 'for the most part
were a rough lot. Many were fugi
tives from the east who escaped prison
bars to hide their identity on western
plains. Others were Texans who, hav:
iag driven cattle from the Bio Grande
across the prairies to Dakota, stayed
their either through choice or eces:
sity. Gambling and drinking were
their chief amusements, and , bloody
brawls occurred as regularly as pay
day. S . -r ' -l y
Thefts of horses and cattle were very
freqnent.:" Ranches and v corral would
be raided at night and the 'best-stock
approximated by the 'brigands of the
prairies. Then would - start the man

not out on the round-up. It was only
natural that, the "boys' should , dub

him. It waa. then that he asserted his
true character. . One incident in par
ticular dispelled the prejudice against
Roosevelt and forever-intrenched him
in the affections of the. ranchman. I
will let E. lu Simmers, at that time
a ranchman at Medora, who was with
Roosevelt during his western life, give
an eye-witness' , version of , the affair.
; " We were on the spring round-up
aear the Big Box Elder river," says
8immers, "when. Lord , Alexander

x.ngiisnman,
joined our party for a hunting expedi-
tion. The titled Johnny Bull was a six

- "He also excelled as a marksman,"
says Simmers. "One day when the
boys were at target practice 'Teddy'
appeared, to look on.
." 'Here, Roosevelt, said one of theja disruption of the party temporarily,

Drawing his 45-caliber Colt revol

paces and fired at a circular piece of

Henceforth ,' Teddy was more re

KING OF TURF
BRIEF SKETCH OF CH23IALIS, I
WORLD'S PACING CHAM-.
- PION. NOW DBAS. r
Fastest Performance in 1897, When
He Broke World's Two-Mile Pacing
Record, Putting Mark at 4: lgy.
"King of the Oregon Turf " was the
title given to Chebalis seven years ago
when . he lowered ' th-- world's pacing
record for two miles on Lone Oak track
at the Oregon i state foregrounds, andthiisg paiMSed off pleasantly, the. large

mirers of this wonderful pacer and he
had many in the Northwest were sor
ry to hear of his death a few ( weeks
ago, and the-writer will , devote this
article to a history of his perform
ances.
Chehalis was the fastest of the get of
old Altamont. , His dam was Tecora, the
great brood mare, he being a full broth
er to Del Norte, 2:08; Alta Cora, Z:l3;
Touchet, 2:15, and several others with
records better than 2:30.
Foaled in 189Q at Vancouver,, Wash
ington, it will, be seen that Chehalis
was 14 years old at the t-me or nis
death, ne was bred by Jay Beach, the
owner of .Altamont, and was sold as a
two-year-old to Frank Frazier, of Pen-
dleton, Oregon, for 600. That year he
was broken to harness and waa worked
on the Walla' Walla It rack by Lew
Childl. When a three-year-old Chehalis
was handled by Sam Castro. It was in-
tended to make him a trotter, but pae-
i'ng was his natural gait, so Mr. Frsxier
let the colt have his way. ,
The greatest performance of thisi;
V black wnariwina ot vregon- was on
the 6th of October, 1897, when he broke
the world's two-mile pacing record of
:22 on. Lone Oak track. His time
was 4:19H, but this has 'since been
lowered by Dan Patch to 4:17.

dispatch of that date: "Columbus,
Ohio, August 6. Star Pointer today
paced a mile in 1:59, equaling his
former record. The' 2:05 pace was eas
ily won by Chehalis 'in three heats, al
though 'Burapa and 'Pearl Ward both
sold for more money in the pools. The
second beat, made in; 2:04. is the fast
est heat' -pa' - 'n race : this season.
The time was a 'follows: 2:074,

ter his performance he was sold by Mr.
Fraaier for $7,500, but It is said that
he never did so well with his other
drivers. When Frazier held the reins
the little black horse always made his
beet efforts. The death of Chehalis oc
curred ia Morrisville, -V ermontv pome

"I have- been trying to get the press

LET FATE GO HANG.
"Fate," said Honrke fckran, "is,
not to be dreaded. It is an easy thing
to get the best of. We all conquer
fate when we submit to it gracefully.
Vain repinings only serve to aggravate
it. We say fate isdown on us when
hardships come, but even hardships we
are apt to misunderstand, as they are
usually self -imposed pleasures turned
into . intolerable , grievances when re
quired by duty. As, for instance:
-"What sportsman ever complained
of fatigue! ,
! " What k card player of - sedcntarK
nessf
"What angler of solitude T
"What bookworm of confinement!
"What miser of poverty! I
'Or what lover of slavery!
. "Then why not perform with an
equal good will the tasks enjoined by
our station in life and let fate go
bang!"
