MAYOR DELMAR, LOU DILLON
AND PRINCE ALBERT RUN
FOR RECORD
CROWD WILD OVER RESULT
Delmar Holds Record for Five Min.
utes When Lou Dillon Lowers
it Again

Lexington, KY, Oct. 1.-THE worlds
trotting record to the wagon was twice
smashed by Lou Dillon and Major Del
mar and despite a strong and biting
West wind, Prince Alert, 1857, came
within two and half seconds Of equal
ling the worlds pacing record held by
himself. The trotting record exhibi-
ton mile to wagon was held un-
til now by Lou Dillon, who trotted the
mile in 2:04 IL at the Cleveland track.
Major Delmar with his owner, E. E.
Smathers driving, reduced this to
1903 ga.
For i've minutes Smathers held the
worlds record. Lou Dillon, as if jeal-
Gus of the record which she had just
lost, appeared upon the field, and, driv-
en- by her owner, g. X. G. Billings, re-
duced Delmar's record to 2:01 ga. The
worlds trotting race record to wagon
was held by The Abbott, and is 2:04 ga
made the ON Hartford track and is one
quarter of a second slower than the
former exhibition record Of Lou Dillon.
The track itself was lightning fast but
conservative horsemen declared the
wind made it at least three seconds
slower. Major Delmar was the first
of the special on the track. He was
accompanied by two runners and reach
ed the quarter in 81 seconds; half in
1:01; third in 1871, but lost ground in
the home stretch and went under the
wire in 2:O3 ga. He had trotted the
half mile consisting Of second and third
quarters in one minute flat, but the
wind heightened his time in the first
quarter and stretch striking him at
right angles.
Prince Alert then came upon the
field. He went the first quarter in
80 IA, reached the half in one minute
flat, and half second was clipped off
at the three quarters pole which he
reached in 1914. He went under
the wire in 1859 1-2. Lou Dillon came
next and seemed to realize she did not
only have a record to break but to
break the record that had just taken
away part of her own glory. She reach
ed the quarter in 81; half in 1:01. At
the three quarter pole she slipped a
quarter of a second of Delmar's time,
making the distance in 1870 ga. The
crowd went wild when the figures went
up. Down the stretch she came, with
a magnificent stride and went under
the wire in 2:01 ga The other results
follow:

WOMENs' FAIR WORK.

Mrs. Tozier Weatherred Talks OF Pro-
gross in Eastern Oregon.
Mrs. Edith Tozier Weatherred re-
turned to Portland from a trip through
Eastern Oregon, where she went in the
interest of the woman's department of
the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Mrs.
Weatherred said to the Journal: ~
never saw such earnestness as that with
which the women Of Eastern Oregon
have taken hold Of the work. The most
prominent of club, lodge and church
members hasten to join the throng.
Each department when assigned
their duties at once begin pleasing plans.
The educational, art, music, domestic,
historical, reception and other commit
tees at once grasp the respective i'm
portance of each, and many are surprised
to learn OF how much the women out
side OF Portland can do to aid the fair
before and after its opening"
Mrs. Weatherred is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the many details of expo
sition work, and wherever she has gone
the ladies are delighted to grasp the
many interesting plans assigned them.

SPRINGFIELD RIFLE.
Krag to be Superseded by y Superior
Weapon.

Krag to be Superseded by u Superior
Weapon.
Within the next two years the United
Mates army will be equipped with new
rifle, in place Of the Krag-Jorgensen
now in use. The Krag has seen COM
paratively short service, notwithstand-
ing the fact that at the time of its adop-
lion it was pronounced by ordnance ex-
perts to be far superior weapon to the
old Springfield rife. Now the army is
TO get back to Springfield, but de-
cidedly improved Springfield.
For more than year experiments
have been made with the new rifle,
which combines the best features of the
Krag, the Mauser and several other
types of small arms used by the armies
OF Continental Europe. 1t will be u 30
calibre magazine gun, and will also use
the clip, so popular in Europe, and one
of the most attractive features of the
Mauser, as it enables rapid firing that
was not possible with the Krag.
The new Springfield will weigh only
Sal pounds, two pounds less than the
present army rifle, and the barrel will
measure "a inches instead OF the 80.
inch barrel Of the Krag. The magazine
OF the new rifle carries five cartridges.
The main reason for abandoning the
Krag and adopting new type OF gun is
to secure rifle Of greater force. The
new Springfield will have muzzle velo-
city of 1900 feet a second, while that Of
the Krag is only 1000 feet. The muzzle
velocity Of the old Springfield, by the
way, was but 1856 feet per second, show.
ing the great stride that has been made
in the past six or seven years.
When the new rifle has been perfected
it will be supplied to the regular army
as fast as they can be manufactured,
while the militia of the several states
not already supplied win be equipped
with the Kraps,

TO RAISE ALFALFA
1T WILL INCREASE THE ORE
CON HOG CROP.
Waseo County Is Now the Scene Of
Extensive Arid Land
Agriculture.

The total hog crop for Oregon during
the present year is estimated by experts
at 250,OOO porkers, says the Portland
Journal. 1t is clsimed by those inter
ested in the livestock industry that with
proper packing house facilities and a
local market that could stand the strain,
the number of hogs grown annually in
Oregon could be increased almost with
out effort to 100000.
Experiments in dry-land alfalfa are
being made by Johnston Brothers and
G. p. Balch, in Wasco county, and il
they are crowned with the success that
is said to now seem indicated it is ex-
pected that hogs will in future be one OF
the main products OF that section Of
Oregon, fully $50 900 being raised.
Other stock will flourish similarly, al
though not in the same ration. The 0.
r. & N. company furnished the seed for
these experiments which we're urged up
on the farmers by r. B. Miller, general
freight agent for that railroad.
In Wasco county it is claimed there
is a vast amount of rolling sagebrush
land which is in such position to be
permanently removed from the possi-
bilities of artificial irrigation. This land
it is proposed to turn into alfalfa beds
where hogs can feed during the spring
and summer. In its present state the
land is worthless, there not being suf-
ficient vegetation to sustain life in
cayuse ponies. The tests are being
made on the highest possible ground
and under the most unfavorable condi-
tions in order to fully test the matter.
Much Of the Wasco county land is
very fertile and rich in wheat produc-
tion, but portion of nearly every farm
extends into the arid and sandy hills.
After pasturing hogs on the hill land
alfalfa until wheat harvest is over, it il
proposed to turn them on the stubble il
order that they may harded their fesE
and stop off," as the pork raisers cal
it, on the wheat which the passing head
er has failed to pick up.
A great deal of interest is being taker
in Wasco county and other interior dis
tricts in the avowed intention of thu
Swift Packing Co. to locate a plant il
the Pacific Northwest, and railroad com
panies and business men of Portland arr
receiving many requests to do all in thei
power to bring that plant to Portland.

RALLY TO THE FAIR.
SUBSCRIBERS HASTEN TO PAY
UP ASSESSMENTS.
Proposed Referendum Serves to Jog
Memory and Make Them
Prove Their Confidence.

Subscribers to the Lewis and Clark
fair do not believe there is any serious
question of the success of the efforts OF
those who are working for the big ex-
position. They regard it as certain the
fair will be held and are rallying to its
support, says the Oregonian.
Subscriptions either due at present or
expected to fall due within short time
are being paid in as though no question
had ever been raised as to the success
of the movement.
The first announcement of organized
opposition to the fair in Portland was
made Saturday. 1t was msde known at
that time that portion, at least, of the
organized labor leaders were opposing
the enterprise, and that this new strength
would be cast in favor of securing
referendum, Under such circumstances
it would not be expected that the sub
scribers would be anxious TO contribute
their offerings, but they have been.
The first surprise came to exposition
officials Saturday, when subscribers be-
gan to make, payments, explaining that
they did not regard the movement in
favor of the referendum as serious
enough to warrant any uneasiness.
Some of the subscribers declared that
their attention had been attracted TO
the fact that they owed second IN
stallment on their stock payments by the
story Of opposition to the fair.
Under the circumstances officials con-
nected the fair regard this feeling as un-
usually significant. 1t is interpreted to
mean that confidence in the success Of
the enterprise is so thoroughly fixed
that it cannot be shaken, and that, no
matter what conditions may arise TO
cause a temporary delay in the work of
preparation, the fair will be held during
the dates already fixed and upon scale
as elaborate as originally outlined.
The fact that Portland has committed
itself to the fair and has already made
partial arrangements to secure exhibits
from other states, is held to have a
strong effect upon the subscribers and
people of the city generally. Officials
connected with the fair insist that Port
land people will not permit the move
ment to fall now.
The workmen who have been employ
ed on the fair grounds were laid off,
and the engineering department is not
attempting to do anything further to
ward improving the area which will be
occupied by buildings or used for other
exposition purposes. This work will be
delayed until the state commission can
give its official sanction to the plans.
There is still a small force of men
busily engaged in stringing the wire
fence along the st. Helens road and
completing the work of closing the
grounds. The wire was partially stretch
cd and all the materials were on the
ground. Under these circumstances 1T
was believed better policy to proceed
with the work rather than allow the
wire to lie on the ground unused and
exposed to the depredations OF providers.
This, however, is all the work that will
be undertaken until the state commits
sion is organized.
