Ohio Bankers Meet,

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 27.-The an

Bankers association opened here this
morning with an unusually large at
tendance. The visiting members were
welcomed by the mayor and several re-
sponses were made. The convention
will last only two days, but a great
deal of work and pleasure will be
crowded in those two days. The Cleve-
land bankers have made extensive pre-
paratIons to give their friends from
other cities royal welcome and en-
tertainment. The business meetings
Will be held in the morning, while the
afternoons and evenings will be de-
voted to pleasure. This afternoon the
visiting bankers will be given an au-

Editor Clarence Wolfe's lion, bought
to keep posts away from the office of
the New Harmony Times, is dead, and
the Posey county muse has revived.
AS soon as the news spread about
the village the verse writer's, VINO had
accumulated quite a stack Of poetry
in the three weeks that the animal had
kept guard at Mr.. Wo1fe's door, de-
scended on him in a body, and one,
more enterprising than the rest, sub
mitted an appropriate epitaph which
will be published tomorrow.
The lion was bought three weeks
ago and so successful was it that the
editor is looking for a larger and
stronger animal.

third. This was one race the crowd
liked as the grey could be plainly seen
from the contrast in color
Headwater, owner by Spider" Rior-
dan, will probably be laid up for the
rest Of the meeting. Shortly after the
horses left the post in the second race,
Ivy Powell rode Headwater too close to
Rose Buds heels and the cream colored
mare struck Headwater on the left
foreleg.
A tout stood with forlorn look
At the outer gate of the track,
A big policeman mad 'scorted him
He schemed and fretted to get

How is it that the women are so
successful at picking the winners at
the Walla Walla tracks 1t surely
cannot be due to bull-headed luck. Take
woman who has not before seen the
horses entered, let her see them leave
the paddock and parade before the
judges stand and she will instinct
lively pick a favorite and it is seldom
that the one she will pick will not be
the favorite in the betting from study
of past performances. There is some
thing about the horse that carries the
class of a race that attracts the women
and they size it up just as though they
were picking out roadster
A man nowadays don't bother to look
at a horse unless he is after good
thing but uses his trusty dope book
and goes altogether on the records
there shown. A woman will pick the
best horse according to the records
wnen she has never seen the inside of
dope book.
The Merchants Handicap was the
big race Of yesterday and it looked like
there was an awful waste of good hop
there. That VIGOROUSLY bad actor,
Peter j., went on a jamboree and
bolted in every old direction. If Starter
Woods had let them go the first time
there might have been a different story
to tell as regards Sad Sans winning.
The longer they tried to get a good
start the worse the animals acted. But
Mr. Woods wanted to see the best
starts possible in this the great race
Of the meet so far.

BY Jimmy CuIlins.

Of all the disagreeable days that
ever happened yesterday was the worst
The track was sloppy and slippery and
the thoroughbreds were compelled to
literally paddle their way to the wire.
This bad weather made the attendance
small, but those in the grandstand
numbered as many Of the fair ones as
of the sterner sex. There is no get
ting around the fact that Walla Walla
is a good racing town. Rain had al
ready got good start when the people
started for the track. Despite the chill
ly drizzle most of them sat through
the days events and their ardor was
not dampened in the least.
The trotting race, the first on the
program, made things drag miserably
On the start. Robert H. took both heats
easily, the first in 223 and the second
in 2:23A. Bonnie NJ. was second and
Esther B. third. Robert H. just drove
the others off their feet and at no time
was there any danger of close finish.
The trotting horse owners, by the way,
have discovered a kick" and have reg
istered it with the fair management.
They seem to think they have not been
given enough races on the program for
this week. But the unkindest cut of
all was delivered them when two extra
running races were announced by the
management.
The big surprise of the day was
sprung in the third race when Eldred,
the heavily played black mare, gave
her hackers a clean rundown. Jockey
League on her made pretty effort to
land the money but in the mud she was
not equal to the task and Chief Aloha
won in a nose finish from the black.
Quite a bunch of the wise ones were On
the chief. Gold Finder took third
money.
There was some dissatisfaction with
the way Jockey League rode Miss Hun
ter in the stake race. When turning
into the stretch the mare turned very
wide and it looked like League could
have kept her closer in. However, it
was a hard and close finish between
Sad Sam and Miss Hunter and League
should not be censured as Sammy
crowded. Little Benny Powell made
a good ride on Sad Sam
Silver Heels got most of the play in
the second race and he did not turn
the talent down, either. Jockey League
mad his first mount at this track on
her and he made great ride. Dandie

HAS TAX TITLE TO LINE PAX
TALLY BUILT FROM PORT
LAND TO SEATTLE.
Jaw Sedqwick, the Tax Agent, Has
Presented Old Delinquency Certi-
ficates at Olympia.

The Union Pacific grade between
Portland and Tacoma, on which that
road expended nearly $S,000,O0O before
it decided not to lay rails years ago,
has now apparently fallen into the
hands of the Northern Pacific, under
tax title.
Jay Sedgwick, tax agent of the
Northern Pacific, mas presented at
Olympia delinquency tax certificates
taken in the name of Thomas Burke
of Seattle for old taxes, which certi-
ficates have been assigned to the
Northwestern Improvement company.
Mr.. Sedgwick then paid the taxes
for 1903 and 1904 on the grade IN
Thurston county. The improvement
company is the subsidiary corporation
of the Northern Pacific, which was
formed chiefly to handle the rail-
roads coal mines in this state and
Montana.
Acquired Years Ago.
Years ago the Union Pacific under
the name of the Portland and Puget
Sound Railroad company acquired
this right of way and graded most of
it, then abandoned operations before
rails were laid. Between Olympia and
Tacoma the line skirts the west shore
of the sound, with excellent grades.
A. G. Avery, attorney for the new
Seattle and Portland road, made ap-
plication at the office of the state
land commissioner for easements for
that road across six school sections
along the north bank of the Column
bia. But three of the applications
and entered of record today These
cover rights of way across section
ton 16, township 5, range q east.
This last section is on the north bank

In the first application the right
of way crosses several times the right
of way asked for a number Of years
ago by the old Columbia River &,
Northern road. That early applica-
ton was made to the land commits
sioner under a law which required
that after the application was filed
condemnation proceedings should be
brought against the state. So far as
the local records show, the Columbia
River & Northern made no move to
condemn and Mr.. Avery contends
that that road has no rights to any
of the land.

CIRCUS WITHOUT A PARADep

NOT Tor the Country Town, Says Show.
man-Cites an kxampe e.
THE circus managers may cut out
the street parade in the big cities"
said a man who has had experience
with all sorts of shows, according to
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, but the
one day and one night stands will
never turn out as well if they don't
get something thrown in. The parade
is what makes the people in the coun-
try leave their plows in the fed.
This idea of cutting out the parade
reminds me of the Indians on the up
per Missouri river and the steamboats,
that used to carry the calliope.
II suppose you've heard a calliope.
l never knew, honestly, why a white
man should stand still when he heard
one, especially if he could find the
woods. But there was something in
it for the Indian. | have always had
an idea that the man who conceived
a steam calliope was an Indian.
when the upper Missouri river
steamboats, put OH the calllope the In
dians camped on the hills to hear the
Internal machine. The experiment
proved a failure to the boatmen. Un-
less a man was forced to make land
ing he would wait for a steamer that
had no steam music. After one season
the calliope was sent to the junk shop.
"Then the Indians rose. l was buy
ing mules for the government in the
towns along the river and met Indians
every day. They had notion that
because l was in business for the gov
ernment l could make rain or dry
weather. One old buck who lived
| back of Omaha came to me ana said
that If the palefaces who had made
toots on the river did not toot again
he would fill up the Big Muddy with
snags and stop navigation.
HE further threatened that his
tribe of young warriors would shoot
flint arrow-heads into the huls OF
boats which did not toot He said thai
his squaws depended upon the cal
liope-he did not call 1t calllope-tC
soothe their papooses. Unless the gov
ernment made the steamboats, toot the
Indians would burn the grasses on thu
prairie and stop cattle from grazing
and start a forest fire. About tina
time the Indians were sent farthe
West and nothing happened.
THE country towns, however, will
do something to the circus tina
doesn't put up parade"

BUYING UP THE BUYERS.
Evil Growing Common in the Busi'
ness Circles of Germany.

Evil Growing Common in the Busi-
ness Circles of Germany.
Bribing employees who act as buy
ers for mercantile houses or who in
the capacity Of statesmen or sales
women attend to customers in retail
shops, especially in the department
stores, says United States Consul Gen
eral Guenther, Frankfort, is an abuse
which has grown in Germany for
some years and has caused many COM
plants in business circles. 1t has be-
come so serious that the Chambers of
Commerce and other mercantile
bodies have considered it necessary to
discuss measures for relief.
The commercial traveller or repre-
sentative of the manufacturer who
wishes to sell to the retail dealers,
will, in many cases, pay employees Of
the latter commissions in considera-
ton for giving the goods of the brib-
ing house the preference, showing
them to the customers in the shops
and keeping the goods of other firms
out of view. Some of the large re-
tail firms employ men or women to
purchase supplies; others, when order
ing, consult their salespeople as to
making selections.
This practice Of bribing extends to
other branches Of business. A case
has just been decided by the Supreme
Court Of Appeals at Cologne, where
the technical manager Of a car-build-
ing concern was discharged by the
company which had employed him be-
cause he accepted a commission from
firm for which he procured orders.
The manager claimed that such gifts,
that is, percentages paid him in
money, were customary and worked
no injury to his employers but the
court held that the action constituted
gross breach Of trust and that the
manager was In duty bound to study
the interest Of his employers and not
to be influenced by selfish considera-
tions. The lower court decided
against the manager and the Supreme
Court of Appeals affirmed the de-
cision

Wealth ofthe Philippines.

In the Philippines, as in all its other
land deals, the United States made a
good bargain. The census of the Phil
ippines shows tina; the forests In the
Islands, in which there are TAT varle-
ties of woods, are worth about S3,0OO,-
900, 900, or double those Of the States Of
Oregon and Washington, which are es-
pecially strong in that particular asset.
Then there are great deposits Of coal,
iron and lead, and there are many In
dicatlons of gold and silver, all Of
which represent a wealth Of several
billions more. The Philippines cost us
$50 100000, In the lump sum which we
paid to Spain. Possibly the military
and naval expenditures on account Of
the islands cost us $400,0OO,000 or
$500, 100000. But even If these figures
we're quadrupled we would still be
gamers in that speculation In none
ary sense.
