Among tho Record Drsaker1.
Lewiston has one advantage which,
though rarely spoken of, will yet be-
come noted feature Id the develop
ment Of the town. It b the advantage
which this climate gives to drivers and
trainers Of fine horses, In af16rding .
winter training track. Lewiston II the
only locality north Of California where
horses can be wintered to any advant-
age. Here, owing to tho low altitude
and the extremely dry winters, horses
can be worked and exercised during
the entire winter. Horsemen Of the
northwest are just finding this out and
now for two winters several fine strings.
Of FLOODED animals have wintered At
the Lewiston Training Track. Last
Saturday tho representatives of the
TELLER visited the track and stables to
see what was being done. Through
the courtesy Of Felix Warren, Tom
Raymond and the Veteran Sewsbury,
we were shown the entire lot Of speed
ers, some fifteen or twenty In all, and
consisting Of some Of the most famous
and promising horses In the northwest
today. Tom Raymond has : string of
nine fast ones including such well bred
steppery ~ TAft's Eva T,n Colfax

Spokane, . two-year-old that can Al
ready show q ESQ gait. Prince Ala

Is the Telephone mare, . ratler, among
the best goers on the track. All tht
drivers and trainers agree in pronounc
ing this locality the best In the world
better than the; training quarters n
California, because here they do no
have to contend with the fogs that ire
queiit the coasts in Southern California
The atmosphere is dry and horses cal

A stock company could be formed I
build stables, furnish feed, improve tn

dreds of horses now travelling the eli
cults of Montana and the northwes

!. Tom Raymond says, unhesitatingly
that he prefers Lewiston to any plac
he has ever wintered, and he predict
that sooner or later an extensive induI
try will be built up here on the Lewis
ton Training Track. Race horse me
