eagerly awaited in Chicago turf circles
opened today in earnest. Two new rival
race tracks, operated only couple of
miles apart, one by George Hankins, the
other by Ed Corrigan, began business,
each with the avowed intention of bank
rupting the other. The well-known deter
mined character of the two men and the
fact that both have hackers with funds
reaching considerably above the million
mark, added 10 the interest Of the contest.
Corrigan's track, which Is at Hawthorne,
is farther from town. He struck the first
blow by advertising free admission. His
place has had a preliminary meeting al
ready, but closed during the Washington
park races until to-day. Hankins' track,
situated at Garfield park, is brand-new
and occupies Corrigan's former stand the
famous West Side course. At Garfield
park track the audience numbered 5000,
and at Hawthorne, $500 people witnessed
the race. The following are the results:

Outside Bids for Pocstello Lots.

PocATELLo, Ida, July 2l.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. Through your
Pocatello correspondent, July IL, you are
made to say that foreign real estate men
wanted the earth and were causing great
deal of trouble. Such is not the case. Thus
far they have acted very honorably, saying
they would not bid on any improved lots as
there were plenty OF vacant lots for them.
However there has been some spirited bid
ding caused by a few Of Pocatello's more
greedy citizens who have all the way from
two to twenty lots, improved lots in the
townsite, to the exclusion of outside capital
and this too, after they had been assured
by the outsiders that they (the outsiders)
would not bid on improved lots, which may
end in outside capital seeking revenge
when the improved property is offered for
sale So far there has been no trouble or
alteration of any kind, and no increase or
talk of increasing the police force and no
cause for the same.

An Alliance Alarmist Circular.

TOPEKA. Kan, July COP. b. Maxon.
chairman of the finance committee of the
Farmers alliance, is preparing circular
to be sent to alliance lecturers, fortifying
them with arguments to show the country
is going to ruin at lightning speed. Maxon
attempts to show that for 3S2 years the
annual gold product has only averaged
fifty-three- hundredths of cent per capita
that the farmers are getting less each year
for their products; that the increase in
population for the past ten years in the
United States is smaller in proportion than
for any ten years preceding. He argues
from this that unless there is q speedy
change the United States will be depopu-
lated.
