EsAfiF EN0t-AnE Ruins " inning FORM.
What the turf needs is a better class
of horses in the three, four and five
year old divisions. The racing associ-
atoms work wide harm by hanging up
rich stakes for two-y ear-olds, and the
result is unmistakable The greedy
owners rush in their entries. and the
equine infants are sent to the post to
compete in races that weaken their legs
in half a dozen ways and fasten on
them a faulty form of action No horse
can be expected to have developed good
speeding form when but two years old.
and, more important still, no horse that
may have acquired or inherited a win
ming action can be expected to hold or
further improve it when urged around
a track in a field of unframed colts and
lilies and ridden by some raw. hard
handed stable boy. The long distance
race is by all means more attractive to
racegoers than short sprints, and in
order to develop the former class of
races we must provide horses that can
go the distance carrying weight. A
horse that breaks down in his two-year-
old campaign will never be fit for dis
lance going in after years.

1t was at first hoped to secure the
services of Miss Clara Norris for the
role OF Nurse. and that distinguished
actress really held the proposition
under consideration for a week or
more. but she has been very i'll of late
and it was but natural that she should
doubt her ability to endure the hurry
and hustle and fatigue of a tour which
contemplates taking in eighteen differ
ent cities in five weeks, and this includ-
ing in the period of time stated two one
week and two two night stands and in
termediate railroad trips Of magnificent
distances; hence Miss Norris ultimate
declination was inevitable. The place
allotted to her. however. has been
filled by the selection of perhaps the
most famous Nurse known TO the
American stage. Mrs. W. G. Jones. who

VIII have an area of 441 square
miles OF the best land in the state of
washington, with a population Of
about 5000. The assessed valua-
ton OF this southeastern county is
about vs., 500, 900. The levy for the
year 1901 was 81 mills, which
makes the sum of Sis, 500 paid by
the people of the new county. AS
to territory, the county will be lar
ger than the average county in any
state east of the Mississippi. AS to
wealth, the figures show that it is
ahead OF IS counties already estab-
l1shed Ill this state, and when our
farm lands are fully developed it
will be the richestagriculturalc oun-
ty III the state, regardless of size.
1t has 81 miles of railroad, 288, 900
acres of the best wheat land in the
world, and 1900 voters"
One of the strong points made by
the divisionists is the fact that un-
der the provisions of the state con-
stitution, the new county will not
be called upon to bear any part of
the bonded indebtedness of Whit
man county which was incurred in
the construction of the county build
ings at Colfax. The county that
retains the buildings and other
county property assumes the indebt-
edness.
The constitution requires that be-
fore division of any county is
made, a majority of the voters in
the territory to be cut off shall peti-
ton for such division, and the sup
porters in both the north and south
districts claim enough signatures
already to assure success. One far
mer in the Whelan neighborhood
brought in a petition yesterday
bearing the names of 12I farmers in
that vicinity.
The interest is intense through
out all parts of the county. and
Wednesday mass meeting was held
at Uniontown, addresses being made
by three gentlemen from Colfax in
opposition, and four from Pullman
in support of division.
The preponderance of sentiment
at Uniontown seems to favor divis-
ion. A like meeting is in progress
at Palouse today.

DIVISION FIGHT ON

pullman awoke one morning last
..et to find the very air alive with
.o,ntv division sentiment, and
.;nce then the one topic of CONVEX
sation has been county division.
The feeling in Pullman had been
i first thought to make no move in
favor of division at this time, but
on further study of conditions, and
on the assurance that the cutting off
If the north part would be accom-
nl;shed, the business men of Pull
man concluded that for the pro
tection of the business interests of
the south part of the county, it
must be zone county or three, and
netitions for the cutting off of this
mart Of the county were prepared
and are being generally signed by
the farmers and others. i
How general the movement be-
came can be judged by the fact that
of the large number of citizens in
terviewed by the HERALD on the
subject three weeks ago, and all OF
whom at that time felt that the
time was not yet ripe for movement,
all, with the single exception of Ed.
Harvey, are now supporting the
division proposition.
A pamphlet issued by a commit
tee gives the divisionists' side of the
argument under some pertinent
facts on county division. 1t says
in part
cat present the County of Whit
man has an area of 2,I6o square
miles (being larger than the State
of Rhode Island and about the size
of Delaware), with population OF
25 900 Census I9oo). The division
as proposed takes off the three north
tiers Of townships with the except
ion of the last row of sections on the
south, creating new county on the
north with an area of 756 square
miles, and population of 5000.
