The Chief Feature Will be the Big
Trotting Event.

Four good harness races are on the
card for this afternoon, and every one
should be a contest, judging from the
past exploits of the horses engaged.
The chief event will of course be
that which brings out the trotters in
the 2:10 class, for a purse of $1,000. 1t
is third on the programme. The start
ers in this race are the best on the
coast. They include Jasper Ayres,
Ethel Downs, Iora, Mamie Griffin,
Wayland w. and STAN B. 1t should
be a race of giants in the trotting line,
and sensational time should be made.
The first race will be the 2-year-old
stake, with Dr. Frasse, John A. McKer-
ron, Advisor and Prince Ansel in it.
Next will come the 2:24 class, in
which Osito. Aggregate. Peko, Winella.
Palermo and Sable Francis will start.
Then comes the 2:10 trot. and after
that the 2:25 3-year-old class. The
starters in this will be Central Girl,
Uncle Johnny and Lorineer.

his stable landed two Of the three
events in which il was represented.
Burns & Waterhouse captured one first
place and one second. Elmwood stock
farm pulled down one purse and Tim
mons X Marks one.
The weather was just about perfect,
the attendance much better than on
the opening day and the racing Of as
good quality as any track in the coun-
Try is putting up. The betting was
brisk, too the five bookmakerS, the
auction poolstand and the Paris mu-
fuels being well patrOnized throughout
the afternoon.

Commerce. They were received by the
officials of the State Board of Agricul-

where they witnessed a couple of good
running races
A noticeable feature at the Park is
the excellent music. c. A. Neale. leader
of the Infantry Band, has displayed ex-
cellent taste in making his selections
for the afternoon music. Every one of
yesterdays numbers was a gem. and
the remark was frequently hsard that
nothing equal TO them had ever come
from the bands imported from the East
in past years.
The Judges stand was presided over
yesterday by Director Wilson, assisted
by Directors Convey and Matthews.
Richard Havey manipulated the start
ing gates, and Director De Long and
Harry F. Agnew held watches on the
winners.

The us,npLc,i System.

Advocates of tho Campbell system
claim that without the aid Of irrigation
this new system of agriculture will
prove the salvation Of the semiarid re.
gion. The process known az the Camp
bell system is described as follows in
The Globe Democrat: Tho plan cou-
sists, first of thorough pulvorizing OF
the top of tho land for depth of three
or four inches, with disk harrow, then
blowing the land to depth of eight
inches, using this fine soil for the bot
tom of tho burrows After this comes
the surface packer, a tool that re-.
sembles the rear portion of Havana
press drill, except that the wheels are
wedge shaped instead of being fat.
This tool packs the lower substratum
firmly together, leaving tho surface
loose for three inches from the top. II
leaves the ground in model condition,
but is "a matter of a good deal of work
for the first two years, as there are
many difficulties in the way of the first
loosening of the soil.
This work is done Immediately after
the pillow, and is followed by q fine
smoothing rake, which will make the
land look like garden. 1t should be
done in the fall if possible, for then the
land is in better condition than at any
other time for thorough pulverizing. 1t
is better TO do it as soon after the tax
ing off of the previous crop as can be
done in order to get the rest results.

Sioux City. S. D., Tribune: Stock
men in from the north country report
that farmers and others who have
visited there in search OF cattle have
ali paid pretty dearly for what they
secured in the country. One shipper
here yesterday told Of an instance
where n buyer contracted for some 100
head of feeders at cents pound.
The man from whom he bought has n
herd of about 500 head and the only
stipulation made was that the cattle
delivered at the price named should
weigh 1000 pounds. 1t Is Il safe bet
that the purchaser win not get all the
best cattle In the herd by any means.
He will therefore have pretty dear
lot of feeders. II would be far better
for all concerned II feeder buyers had
been content to seek the central mar
ket for their supplies.
Chicago Drovers Journal: While the
western range season lasts the de-
mand for stock cattle Is likely TO be
good. Feeders count on this season
to supply them with material to fat
ten during the winter months, and In
view of the scarcity OF the native stock
OF this class 1t is fortunate that there
il a good supply of stock range steers.
The rule seems to work well both
ways this year, for II is equally fortu-
nate for the owners OF these half-fat
range steers that the demand Is so
strong. II is predicted by some that
more cattle will he shipped to the feed
lots this fall than ever before. provid-
ing they can be obtained. The dry
weather, which is so general through
out the cattle feeding country. may
weaken the demand some, but so far

Revenue From State Lands.

Land Commissioner Bridges finds
that out of $500 State land contracts,
aggregating approximately 100000
acres, there is absolutely no revenue
coming into the State treasury in the
shape of rentals or payments of inter
est on amounts overdue. He esti-
mates that fully Is per cent. of this
land will revert to the State. He has,
therefore, decided upon a system of
renting State lands, especially school
lands, to responsible applicants, at
rates which will secure a sure return
for their use. One of these school
sections is located within the corporate
limits of Spokane, upon which large
number of families now reside, but are
not paying a cent into the State treas.
ury. He proposes visiting that city in
June, and adjust matters so rs to Sc
cure for the State an adequate return
for their use. He thinks that by this
policy it will be possible ultimately to
secure a sufficient revenue to support
the schools Of the State, thus remov-
ing an expense of $685., 600 per annum,
the largest burden now carried by the
impoverished taxpayers.

Premonitory Fears.

There is a well defined anxiety
among the people Of Portland
and tie residents OF the lower
Willamette valley in regard to the
possibility, if not probability, Of high
water in the various rivers of north
western Oregon, a. soon rs the snow,
begin to melt upon the adjacent foot
hills and mountain ranges.
Forccastcr l'ayuc, at the head of the
Western Signal department in Port
land, has issued an exhaustive review
OF past year. and Il fair exposition Of
the state OF flood probabilities rs they
seem to exist at the present time
Among other things that gentleman
says: "Now, if this April should
continue to be comparatively cold,
and normal weather should then pre-
vail, flood is very probable" This
is perhaps the most significant para
graph in Mr.. Paguc's review, and his
ominous words do not fail to deeply
impress the hearts OF Portland's bust
ness men along the water front; and
most especially those who have passed
through destructive floods of past
years. Portland and the towns along
the lower Columbia have good reason,
from past experience, to dread a typi-
cal flood, and the weather signs for a
few weeks to come will he watched
with anxious solicitation.

BUT the STANDARD attempts to answer
its own question when it says that We
are impelled to it by a rivalry for "a
half cherry Of business patronage" The
intended falsehood in this assertion
would not be greater had our garrulous
and voluable neighbor said "political
patronage" something it of course knew
would be SO utterly impossible that the
assertion would carry with it it's own de-
feat. The STANDARD knows the execu-
tive Office has no business patronage"
not dollar and il it had it knows the
Olympidn is entitled to none of nor would
it receive any of it. The STANDARD is
coward|y in making such an assertion.
1t knows the Olympian has not one thing
ut stake in either business or politics,
whether it champions or abuses the
" POpulist executive" whether it is de-
cent or indecent toward him personally,
politically or officially. --Olympian.
This "mode of treatment" of a
charge puts us in mind of the village
doctor who when called upon to pre-
scribe for fever gave the patient n dose
to throw him into fits, alleging as
reason that he was nearly lightning

After leaving Olympia. on my re-
turn home, ! stopped ut Seattle over
Saturday night following the adjourn

the rumor that the Governor woulC
veto the normal school appropriations
! was very much surprised ut this, il
view OF the conversations above re
lated, with the Governor, Private See.

and myself were discussing the matter
together in the Butler hotel, Senator
| Baum came III and also expressed hi>
surprise ut the proposed action Of the

all the circumstances of the converse.
ton between Mr.. Ballainc and myself
as | have given them above to Repre-.
sentative Likins and others, and in
sisted that he thought it impossible
that Gov. Rogers would veto these ap.
preparations after the statements made
by Mr.. Ballalne to myself. | came
home on Sunday and on the next day
sent Mr.. Ballalne the following mes
sage:
g" New Whatcom, Wash, March l.,
1897. - John f. Balline, Olympia,
WASH: In view of your statements to
Senator Baum and myself relative to
Whatcom normal school, is it possible
the Governor will not allow the APP
preparation to stand? Answer.
"C. w. DORR.'
"To which | received the following
reply:
Olympia, Wash, March Il, 1897.
&C. W. Dorr, New Whatcom, Wash. :
L told you Governor would not ap-
prove total of over twenty thousand
for WhatcOm normal, because he was
III principle opposed to more than one
normal school in State; appropria-
ton bill carried thirty-sevcn thousand :;
he says best thing now is to sell build
ing or give it outright if possible to
Whatcom and Fairhavcn for high
school; he thinks best interests of
State will thus be subserved and pco
pie OF those cities greatly favored.
81. f. BALLAISE.'
ALWAYS AN ENEMY TO wHATCoM.
Now it occurs to me that accord
ing to Mr.. Ballaine's own telegram
there was no excuse for the Governors
vctoing both items for our school, be-
cause ii he was willing to approve 800
600 as he stated, he could have done
SO and disapprove the other item of
$l7, 300. Or, if he was opposed in
principle to the school, why was he
willing to approve an appropriation
for $4,000, as stated in the telegram?
But, altogether, there is a mystery
about this thing which | presume will
never be unraveled. During the cam
paign last fall, when the Governor was
here, he was taken up to the new
school building, and when he returned,
the word was given out by Mr.. Cline
and other prominent members of the
fusion party that the Governor was
we'll pleased with the building and
would be friendly and favorable to the
establishment OF the school. When
Judge Turner was here and spoke in
Fairhavcn at public meeting, he
stated on the authority of Mr.. Cline
that Mr.. Rogers had not voted against
this school two years ago and assured
the people that he would be friendly
to its success. The statement as to
his vote was, of course, erroneous, as
he did vote against the bill, as will be
seen by reference to the House journal
OF 1898, ut page Col, but no one doubts
that Mr.. Cline made the statement as
Judge Turner repeated it,"
