was discerned lying upon his side,
pinned in by the platforms OF the
two cars. He talked with us
for some time, while men with axes were
engaged in a vain effort to extricate
him, and then suddenly his voice ceased.
One of the passengers went to him
and, feeling his pulse, pronounced him
dead.
''Had we not been moving when the
freight train struck ours, the loss of life
must have been terrible.
Conductor Fillmore, who was on our
train, was by singular coincidence,
also the conductor on the train when
the accident happened on the grade sew
eral years ago. He is to be censured
for having left the brakes off this time
as he did before, but he compensated
for this mistake by his conduct after
the train began to run away. If it had
not been for him the train could not
have been stopped.
"The statements of the men on the
freight train, made to US when they
joined us, showed that their brakes
gave way before they reached tunnel Is,
and that they were unable to hold the
heavy train with the hand brakes, and
the few brakemen employed on it.
''Itis hardly fair to lay any blame for
that accident to Providence. If the
company had provided its trains with
an adequate number of brakeman, or
with proper air brake appliances, it
could all have been averted. The only
wonder is that there was not general
slaughter.

CITY FINANCES.
Recommendations Adopted Yesterday
by the Committee.

Recommendations Adopted Yesterday
by the Committee.
The finance committee met yesterday
and passed the following recommends
tions which will be reported to the coun-
Gil on Monday:
Recommend that petition from Kra-
mer, Campbell & Co., No. 5O2, relative
to insurance upon the city hall be filed.
And your committee further recommend
that none of the policies upon the city
hall which expires September 21st, 1891,
being $2l 900 in all, be renewed, which
will leave about $780, 900 upon the build
ing and $4,000 upon the contents.
In the matter of the petition from the
Willamette Steam Mills and Manufac-
turing company, No. SIG, we recommend
that the contractor, E. r. Fox, before
being paid in full on account of the
erection of the Walnut-street bridge,
satisfy the council that all bills on ac-
count of lumber have been paid.
Recommend that the sum of $4,000 be
transferred from the salary fund to the
new water fund, to cover overdraft upon
that fund.
In the matter of the petition from the
Real Estate Security Investment COM
pany, No. 5l2, we find that the state
ments set forth in petition are true !;
that the description of the property as
assessed is erroneous. We therefore
recommend that upon the presentation
of proper demand drawn upon the
tax fund of 1901 the sum of $21 IA be
returned to petitioner, and that the
clerk be instructed to mark cancelled
and redeemed of record tax sale GER
tifcate No. 1918, tax sales of 1901.
In the matter of the petition from the
Real Estate Security Investment COM
pany, No. 514, we find upon the
certificate of the city assessor that on
the statement of the mortgagor. dated
March 81, 1890, deduction was claimed
of $500 on account of this mortgage.
We therefore recommend that the petit
tion be denied.
In the matter of the petition from the
Real Estate Security Investment COM
pany, No. 5l3, we find that the prop
erty described in the certificate of tax
sale is the south sixteen feet of lot 1,
block l, Ord's survey, being the north
side of Second street, between Mott
alley and Main street, which has been
in litigation, and has been recently de-
cided in the city's favor.
But we further find that the property
was given in to, claimed by and assessed
to Howard w. Mills, and although we
believe that at the present time the
property is. worcestershire for taxes,
yet, on the first Monday of March, 1890,
the property was claimed by Mills and
assessed to him, and for this reason we
recommend that this petition be also
denied

"Uncle' Dan was driving for George
". st. Clair at the time, and about the
twelfth or fifteenth time the colt was
handled he showed quarter in forty
seconds. This fact was communicated
to his owners. who Immediately sprung
the price on the youngster to $1,000.
Messrs Richfeld IL feathers had been
importuned to buy the youngster at
$500. but they did not see enough in
him to warrant the expenditure of so
much as $1,000. When they learned.
however, that he had gone quarter so
fast they Immediately opened up negO-
tiations looking toward his purchase.
They were not willing to give $1,000 for
him, but few days later, when Mon
bars had gone another quarter III 80
seconds. they concluded to buy the colt.
When they met his owner again the
price had risen to $4,000, but so
anxious were his present owners to
obtain possession of the colt they
never ceased their opportunities till
MonbarS had become their property, at
a private price. The other day these
gentlemen were offered. so it is stated,
$50, 900 for the colt that ten months ago
could have been bought for So, 800.

Monbars was just as we'll bred ten
months ago as he is to-day, but nobody

EFFECT OF WEIGHT.
Opinions Differ as to It's Retard-
ing Effect.

opinions DIHSf as 10 It's 1GCtdIOo
ing Effect.
The following by recent writer will
be of interest to Northwestern horse
men at this time:
1t is not an uncommon thing to hear
trainers and others say that it is not
material how much weight horse car
ries in a sulky; that he can trOt about
as fast with heavy as with light
driver. Not long since l was talking
with driver of this way of thinking.
at makes me SMILE" ne observed, ITO
hear people talk about forty-fve-pound
sulkies, light drivers, and all that sort
of thing Why, a sulky with man in
it is absolutely nothing to horse on
good track. He doesn't feel the weight.
1t merely steadies him."
Not being trainer myself, l very
modestly asked: why was it, if your
theory is true, that Ethan Allen trOtted
with running mate in 2:15, while the
best he could do to a sulky was 2:2515?
Why was it that II. B. WinShip. with
running mate, trOtted in 2:06, while his
harness record is 2:30H? Why was it
that Justine, 2:20, could trOt, when
hooked with Belle Hamlin, i'll 2:13? 1t
certainly looks as though they were
greatly assisted by being relieved of
part of the weight"
No. that's not the reason" replied
my friend. ''In the cases you mention
and In others, the faster horse carried
the slower one. 1t is not the release
from weight that enables him to in
crease his speed, but ii is the fact that
he is borne along by his speedier COM
paniOn."
If this theory be true Belle Hamlin
must be mare of very extraordinary
strength, as well as marvellous speed.
Her team record s2:13, and her harness
record 2:l23I. She must, therefore, IL
the carrying hypothesis be correct, have
assisted Justina to the extent of seven
seconds al loss OF only quarter of a
second to herself. This looks as though
the carrying theory would not hold
water. As if, however, to show its utter
futility, Belle Hamlin, 2:12$I, Globe,
2:195l, and Justina, 800, have, as a
triple team, gone together in 2:l4. If
Belle carried the other horses she
must have "helped" Globe five and a
half seconds and Justina six seconds in
this wonderful performance. and lost
but a second and a quarter herself. 10
do this she must not only have the speed
of thunderbOlt. but the force of a
cyclone. l cannot accept a theory which
leads to such conclusions. L believe
that in a trOtting performance every
pound of the Sulky has its effect. Not,
of course. equally with all horses, but
additional weight has an additional re-
tarding influence, and the greater the
number of pounds the greater the re-
tarding effect,

A BIG HORSE RANCH.
Eight Thousand Five Hundred
Acres, Stocked With 1880
BIOOded Horses.

Eight Thousand Five Hundred
Acres, Stocked With 1880
BIooded Horses.
A. F. Wolf. of Greeley, Col. is the
manager of the largest horse ranch in
America. He is at the head of the
Percheran-Norma Horse company,
which has ranches ffty-two miles north
of Denver and ten miles east OF Greeley.
The range is divided into five ranches,
with an area of $500 acres, and
covered with the finest alfalfa
grass. The company is made up
of the following persons: Studebaker
Brothers, Of South Bend. Ind; Edward
uaisey, Senator Fred S. Fish and James
Murphy, the varuish manufacturers, all
of Newark, \. j., and Mr.. Lamb. of
Clinton, To-, a rich lumber dealer.
The capital stock is $500, 600. all paid
up, and at the close of the present fiscal
year it is to be increased to S1,000.000.
The ranch is stacked with 4, 500 horses,
all of Percheron- Norman or Clydesdale
blood. The breeding is done with
twenty seven PercherOn Norman
stations imported by the company.
There are only two other places in
America where this magnificent speci-
men of the draught horse is raised
Bloomington. H., and Central New
York. But this is the largest and, in
fact, the only extensive horse ranch in
this country. Negotiations are now
pending for the handling of heavy jack
mules. and Mr.. Wolf expects to leave in
few months for Madrid, Spain, to i'm
port twenty-five jacks. The market for
mules is confined almost entirely to the
West and South. while the East and
North demand horses. A fine pair of
Spanish bred jacks will cost from S40O
to 5000, and pair of blooded Percheron-
NOrmans $3.50 TO $500.

TROTTERs ARE USEFUL
On the Road, on the Farm and for
Other PURPOSES.

The trotting horse is not confined to
the track, but is useful in every land.
On the road he Is great; on the farm he
does the work OF a mule, blowing, har-
rowing and hauling heavy loads. In
cities he pulls butcher carts, milk
wagons. buggies, carriages, omnibusses
and express wagons, and is found in
dispensable in many other places where
nothing but fast harness horses can be
used. Horses that make trotting race
horses are about one in hundred. and
the man who breeds common mare to
a trotting bred horse fails to get 2:20
performer need not be disappointed. but
has some assurance of a nice roadster
that will be worth three colts from a
scrub horse. What could good road
ster be sold for? 1t would be safe to say
$780, while a scrub would sell for 500,
and perhaps good deal less, and cost
the same TO raise.

RUNNERS VS.. TROTTERs.
Thoroughbreds Alleged to Be
Lacking in Gameness.

Thoroughbreds Alleged to Be
Lacking in Gameness.
A paper at Buffalo, n. Y, says:
"There are many differences to be OBJ
served between the running and trotting
races, and to those people who have al
ways believed that the thoroughbred
horse was gameness personiied the ex-
hibitionS made by some of them in their
races must have been somewhat of a
revelation. for at no trOtting meeting
ever held here has there been so much
whipping and rank quitting as has been
seen among the thOrOughbreds at this
meeting. Some people will say that 1T
is because they 90 faster and the effort
is greater but they quit i'll going dash
of half a mile and with rider weigh
ing less than 100 pounds. The trotter
is asked to 20 anywhere from three to
eight heats and draw sulky and a
driver weighing 80 pounds. If the
thoroughbred is so much superior to the
trotter in gamenesS and stamina, it
seems as though he should be able to
carry featherweight jockey for dash
of half mile without quitting"

PULLING HORSES.
Instances Are Rare Where the
Best Cannot Win.

"Of course" says the Turf, Field and
Farm. commenting OH the new rule of
the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders
association, "there may be now and
then an instance where horse that is
capable of winning and is wanted to
win by his driver, is prevented by some
unforeseen accident or mistake from be-
ing able to win either of the first three
heats. but such instances are rare, and
the rule that worked the greatest
amount of good in the greatest number
of cases is the one to be adopted. There
can be no rule or law that will not now
and then work injustice to the ones that
it is intended to benefit, but any horse
that is really fit for race horse and IN
proper condition ought to be able to
show his quality in one of the first
three heats. The pulling of horses for
the benefit of the pool box is fraud OH
the public and cruelty Oh the horse,
and every means nsed for its abolish.
ment should be encouraged by all inter-
ested in the elevation Of the trotting
turf"
