but was two lengths behind in 2.22 3-4.
Eva W., was third, Lucky Roy fourth,
Woven Wire fifth and Sorrel Jim sixth.
Foss's horse goes best after several
heats, and he says he could have won yes
terday but for the storm as he was just at
his strike when he had to go to the barn
because of rain.
Only three came to the wire in the 1928
class. Mollie Wilkes, pole; then Doris
and Allie Smell Mollie was fast enough
all the way and had no bother as Allie
Smell could not take her feet from under
her. He drove her out OF her class, for
he got mark OF 1898 10 in order to poke
her nose to the front ahead of him. Dor
r1s was third all the way and is sweet
little PAGER. 1t was the same story in the
second heat as Bollie was able to carry
the honors already won and was not
forced to go faster than 1928 Ia. Allie
Smell is a handsome animal and went
close all the way and Doris was third.
The third heat was surprise party for
the mare went to a break after holding
her lead a third of a mile Smell was rae
ing her hard and jumped ahead. He
romped home with Doris driving him in.

was clearly tired in the fourth heat, and
Doris kept Allie Smell at his work all
the way. He was good for it and had
length to spare in 2.g7. The mare was
doing her best and kept close all the
way. 1t was a race for blood in the
fifth heat when Allie was keyed up to
correct pitch all the way and romped

Lillian M, Star Boone and Baby Mine.
Friday was fast and steady, took time
enough to turn the track with only Star
Boone as companion. They made the
turns and stretches together and finished
close in 1928 Ia. Deacon and Lillian M.
got the banner, while Baby Mine staid
in. Friday had no difficulty IN winning
out both the remaining heats in 2 80 Ia

Preparing for the Fourth.

Arrangements for Pullman
Fourth of July celebration are pro
crossing nicely, the most of the
committees being appointed and al
work, and the people can depend
upon rousiug time in this city or
the nations birthday.
The program has not yet been
fully arranged, but from the sun
rise salute on the morning of the
4th, till the final heat of the last
race on the 9th, the days will be
filled with sport and patriotism.
The fireworks committee has re-
ported the purchase of a display
which will be the best ever seen in
Pullman, and which will require
about two hours time. The horse
racing committee has ample funds
at its command to offer liberal
purses for three days racing, and
some great sport in that line can be
expected, as many fast horses will
be here.
The use of Reaney's park has
been donated by its public spirited
owner, and the speaking, minor
sports, etc, will be held there, while
the horse racing will take place on

preaching, has been hitherto unap-
preached i'll its promise of fruitful
abundance for the Pacific North
west. Never with an equal acreage
have the conditions governing been
SO favorable for a great crop of
wheat From the Walla Walla dis
trict where the song of the reaper
will be furnishing music long before
the close Of the coming month, up
through the Palouse and Big Bend
countries, where the harvest will be
continuous until snow flies, reports
are equally sanguine, while the
tributary districts in Oregon and
Idaho will each show an immense
yield OF cereals. Estimates vary as
to the probable outturn of wheat,
but none are given which do not
show a liberal increase over the
total OF any previous year in the
history OF grain raising, and it may
De regarded as conservative to place
the yield of the three states OF
Washington, Oregon and Idaho at
upwards of SO, 900, 900 bushels, with
Washington producing from 80,
900, 900 to $4,000, 900 bushels. Il
Is also safe to say that the export
surplus, taking into account very
considerable carry over stocks from
the present crop year VIII be a
least 10000, 900 bushels greater
