SOMETHING ABOUT HORSES.
Tho Breeding and Rearing of the
Horse as Legitimate Business.

(By b. o. Van Bokkeln, for the JoURNAL.l
A few years ago a fast horse was
looked upon as thing of the devil and
as an evil that all, both young and old
should keep away from, and, compare
lively speaking. but few respectable and
responsible people were engaged In the
breeding of or in racing either the
thoroughbred or the trotter. Old laws
that were made in the days of the Puri'
tans have, Of necessity, been repealed,
and new ones have taken their places.
and just 80 is it with the business OF
breeding and racing horses. Respon-
sible and intelligent gentlemen have
taken the place of the irresponsible
breeder who neither knew or had the
brains to study the best methods to be
adopted to reach the most successful
end and today will be found amongst
the ranks of breeders and trainers, men
who are occupying high positions so
cially and politically, men who have
made successes in either mercantile
pursuits or in the study of profession,
can be found adopting the same meth
DDS in the breeding and racing of horses
that they adopted in order to reach the
high pinnacle of success In their busl'
ness or profession, and where these are
found you will see success in the horse
business.
Those who are ready to condemn the
business of breeding and racing horses
are generally of a class that know
nothing about the horse, aud, generally
speaking, cannot tell the difference be-
tween the high finished, well trained
standard bred trotter and bronco. All
that man has to do at the present
time IL to look around him and he will
find engaged In the horse, as legiti'
mate enterprise. scores upon SCORES Of
those who have started with nothing
to speak of and today their income

cal sense to the horse business the same

business, 10 more than the salary of the
pres mt of the United States. Then
again you will fad those who have al
ready accumulated fortunes in Other
lines adopt the horse business for profit

LIVE PIGEON SHOOTING.
A Reply from the President Of the
State Sportsmens Assn,

Editor CAPITAL JOURNAL: In your
issue Of Saturday April lst, read an
article on live bird shooting at the trap,
written by w. A. Storey, of Portland,
and at first thought his arguments
were simply meant as on April fool
joke; but after reading it over very
carefully am sure he meant just what
he said, and 1 quote from his article
the following, by which he expects to
prove to this community and the COM
mon everyday clay pigeon smashers of
the Salem Rod and Gun club, that 1t is
not wrong to shoot live pigeons at the
trap for amusement and to test ones
skill:
"Is 1t anyway cruel to kill chickens
for food purposes (?) or, does 1t show
cruelty for the butcher to take the life
of dear little lamb?" If so, then it is
positively cruel to shoot live pigeons
at the trap"
This argument should certainly con.
vince any person inside, If not outside
of the Oregon state insane asylum that
it is all right to shoot live pigeons al
the trap, and 1 am surprised that
have not thought of this myself long
ago; and now that it is settled that it il
all right to shoot live pigeons at the
trap, and to shoot chickens at the trap
as we'll as to use the dear little lamb tC
be thrown up in q trap or some Other
machine, in order to use 1t for target
TO see how many can be killed by 9
good marksman, / have about con-
cluded to hold tournament lin which
my friend Storey is welcome to take
parU and use lambs for targets and see
how many can be killed.
Now, will my friend Storey tell me
whether or not he would consider that
wrong? He certainly could not &c
long as he uses it in his argument to
prove his position In the matter, and
so it must be all right.
Because it seems all right to shoo
wild fowls that are free to go where
they please, and have chance for theil
life, does not make 1t all right to tak'
pigeons and pen them up in trap
waiting for the word "pulp from
the shooter after he Is all ready, an(
then shoot the bird almost before III
raises his wings, in nearly every cas-
dropping dead or wounded within
few feet of the trap In which he wa
confined.
If the rules compelled the shooter t.
allow the bird to get under good head
way before he would have a right +
shoot, then there would be q littl
reason in it; but such is not the case
and the manner In which live birds ar
shot, under the present rules, Is simpl.
slaughter" and "pot hunting' of tn
worst kind.
If the inanimate targets my frien'
Storey is now using are too tame, to
easy to break, and not stiff enoug
practice for him, so that he finds it nee
essary to use live pigeons in order
get good practice, would suggest tina
he come to Salem and we will tur
him loose on q few u. s. Targets, tn
kind he "didn't break" last year at tn
tournament. G. d. GABRIELsoN.

THOSE ELK-KILLERS.
The Five Men Arrested Are Now
Out Under Bonds.

Several days ago The JOURNAL con.
tanned a paragraph in relation to the
arrest at Eugene of G. d. Mulford, DIR.
Barr, c. w. Thompson and two other
men ON charge of unlawfully killing
elk. Mr.. Mcclure, of Portland, paid
an official visit, and while there heard
of these violations. They came before
the justice of the peace. entered pleas OF
guilty and expressed willingness to
pay whatever fine might be imposed.
Section eight of the law creating the
game and fish protector provides that
justices of the peace are authorized TO
impose fines In cases where defendants
are convicted, or where they enter a
plea Of guilty. In these cases, however,
the Justice labored under q misappre-
hension of his authority, and, instead OF
imposing a fine, held the defendants to
answer the charge each in the sum OF
$1,000. Bail in each case was promptly
furnished.
In speaking Of the arrests the Ergene
Guard says: "The story Of the killing
Of the elks as first reported here was
greatly exaggerated, as the gentlemen
state that only four were killed. They
found band Of four and killed all Of
them, and the entire carcass Of each
was taken home, aud the meat divided
among the people OF that vicinity, and
eaten. They were getting pretty hun
CRY, and do not consider that they have
done any great ofiense."

Am historic Bu1ldIng gone.

Last week an old, neglected, forgotten build
ing, that for years has stood on the rear of the
Kinney property, was torn down. The ancient
wooden fabric is worthy of obituary, for it
was the Oldest building in Ravenna, if not in the
County. 1t was built in 1870 by General John
Campbell, the maternal grandfather of H. C.
Frazer, of this city. 1t stood where the Etna
House now stands. and was the first building of
prominence in the place, aside from the county
buildings. In 1874 it was occupied by a Mr..
Heslop, who came here from Pittsburgh and
opened the first regular store in Rayenna which
he continued for about two years. A Mr.. Greer
had run small and very incomplete store be-
fore this. The building was subsequently used
as a residence by Col. William Frazer. Doctor
Isaac Swift, and Almon Babcock, ali of whom
are deceased. In it were born Col. Perry H,
Babcock, now of Cleveland. and H. C. Frazer.
of this city. In 1924 it was moved onto what
IS now the Kinney property, and occupied as a
dwelling by R. E. Campbell, who in turn sold
| sold it to John Peterson, who moved it back to
the alley intersecting Meridian ST.. where it
stood ever since. He used it as wagon and
paint shop. Mr.. Peterson moved to Georgia rs
or 80 years ago, where he subsequently died.

THE Board of Health are determined that the
sanitary condition of Ravenna shall be as good
as their authority can command. 1t is matter
that need not be urged to any prudent right
thinking citizen who appreciates the necessit-
les of municipal cleanliness and the great dam
gers from filth and dirt stagnating about town.
People are very apt to neglect such things.
not SO much from wilful inattention or failure
to comprehend their Importance as from a
proneness to procrastination even in the face
of danger, common to all mankind. But the
consequences are equally harmful in either case
and no one can be allowed to plead forgetful
ness or inadvertent neglect in matter SO vital
to the health and physical well being Of the
community.
The regulations of the Board of Health are
wholesome ones devised for the good OF those
enjoined to obey them. More diseases and
deaths happen from filth and sewage poison
than the average person as any conception of.
but without any knowledge of statistics on
accurate mathematical information on this
branch of the subject the most ordinary mind
need not be told that clean. pure surroundings
are infinitely healthier and safer than those of
an opposite character. If people would act in
accordance with their knowledge of such things
there would be no need of any Boards of
Health or sanitary regulations. But it seems
to be an irradicable trait of humanity's make
up to require stern discipline and rigidly en-
forced laws to keep them in the bounds OF
right living and proper Observance of the
plaInest dictates of reason and common sense.
In this enlightened age and in this enlighten-
ed community there is no excuse for filth or
improper sanitary conditions about the home.
A little reflection will discover the great
public good that will result by each citizen
cleaning up his premises and not allowing any
thing of an uuhealthful nature to have room on
his land.
Cellars should be cleared of rubbish. Open
Grains should be free and unobstrueted.
Road dust or some other good deodorizing
decomposition should be used in out houses:
Dish water and slops of all kinds should be
thrown onto the surface of the ground.
In this connection it may be said that the
Board of Health positively forbid any slops.
rubbish or refuse. to be thrown into drains or
sink holes of any character. Violation of this
rule subjects the offender to fine and imprison-
ment and the Board have determined that the
first offender will, If detected, be made to suffer
severely for his misdemeanor.
Keep your premises clean and thus protect
the health and lives not only of yourself and
family but of the whole community. What
ever is important to be observed by one mem
Der of the municipality is of equal concern tc
every resident thereof.
A dirty town is an abomination and re-
proach to decency, its Inhabitants are sure *
expiate their hygienic sins sooner or later in
disease and death which follow such infrac-
tions as sure as health and vigor reward tht
cieanly.

Verdict of Jury i'm Holden VS..
RRKRmmR.

Last January Frank Holden sued the Village
of Ravenna for $4,000 damages, alleged to
have been sustained in November, 1891, by
driving into water main ditch on East Main
street. He claimed that the town failed to
properly protect travellers from the excavation,
and says tqat in addition to injury to his horse
he himself was permanently injured by the fall.
which produced what may be termed an ab-
dominal adhesion.
The trial lasted from Friday TO o'clock yes
terday afternoon, when the case went to the
jury. Today at noon they returned verdict
against the village for $1,2o8oo. R. S. Webb
took the case for the plaintiff, and was assisted
by Hon. E. B. Taylor. For the defence there
was City Solicitor Sperra. A. S. Cole, and Ara
w. Jones.
All sorts of comments are heard about the
case and the verdict.

THE BICYCLE DISEASE.

Physicians are now very generally
turning their attention to the bicycle

rising generation. 1t has been the
origin of a new form of disease, which
they denominate HYPNOSIS bicyclista-

everyday American, means the bicy-
clist's stOop. The requirement of this
stoop, they tell us, is not a mere mat

watchfulness, may be guarded against
or thrown off at pleasure. It is a real
