MEXICO HoRsEMEE WIN
LARGE SHARE OF PREMIUMS


The excellent programmes at the
Centralia fair last week Haere eQualed
by the management OF the Fulton
Street Fair. Coed contests character
lied the showings at bach place and
the entries were made up OF high
class equines.
As usual, Mexico horses were TO the
fore as ribbon winners. Lee Bros
headed the list of winners at Contra
liza, getting first In the si0o sweepstake
for harness horses with bay mare,
Dorothy 7. Two blues were also
awarded this mare in the roadster
class and as a test Of her speed and
stamina she gained third moneyin the
green trot Lillian Anderson, the
great young saddle mare Recently pur-
chased by this firm, was given the blue
tie In the sweepstake saddle ring end
also proved to be the best in the $50
all purpose ring. Tony Jeffries, the
road horse, driven by George Lee all
season, made English Walnut step
three merry miles In the 2:S5 pace,
gaining second honors. AS a fitting
conclusion for the Messrs. Lees good
fortune, their thoroughbred, Taylor
James, annexed the big end Of the
purse In the green run
Lee Bros success was no more bril-
liant, however, than was that OF the
gocd mare, Lady Mozelle, owned BY
Harrison Field and exhibited by L. b.
Barnett. No less than six first prizes
were won by this one, winning over
several OF the best equInes in Missouri.
i. l.. B. Barnett was adIudged the
best gentleman rider in a contes st
amid several faultless equestrians;
In the colt classes the get OF Rex

lib. r.. Middleton, OF this city, was
victorious whenever shown. Mr..
Mlddleton's famous Ortiz Rose is the
sire OF the best colt exhibited at Full
ton. At the latter city Lee Bros.

George l.. Clark, Of Meriden, Conn.

They will go directly to their old home at Akron, Ohio, Later, Capt.

 Speaking of his mission to Washing ton and the outlook for the Panama country, Capt Barnette said;
 What we mos, desire at Fairbanks is the division ot our judicial district and the creation Of two judges for the district now under the rule of Ju Age Wickersham. We need a judge at Fairbanks the year round. Our business is so increased we should not be forced to wait six months to seattle a dispute while the judge is travelling the great stretch of country 10 hear eases in some remote small town.

Norway Is Almost Unani'
 mOusly for Separation

Christiania, Aug. 1.-The returns from the national referendum on the dissolution of the union show that out of 32l, ,35S votes cast only l6l are against dissolution. The storthing has been summoned to meet August 2l to take the next step toward the repeal of the act of union in agreement with Sweden.
 There were scenes of the greatest en- thusiaSm everywhere during the cleo tion. Thousands of women who did not have the right Of franchise signed peti- tious in the streets endorsing the disso- lutiou. In ChriSliania and other cities the total population turned out, every one wearing long streamers of the na- tional colors and pictures of Premier Michaelsen.
 One of the members of the cabinent said to the Associated Press:
 "The result surpasSes the most san guiue expectations. The next official step will be taken after the storthing meets on August 2l, when the result of the plebescite will be communicated to Sweden through the Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The storthing will repeat the request that the riksdag de- clare the union dissolved. The storth- ing will also express willingness to negotiate concerning the details of the dissolution. It is the earnest desire of Norway to conclude the dissolution ann icab'y. Norway will never retract, but everything will be done to meet the wishes of Sweden in other direc- tions.
 "If peace depends upon abolishing the forts they will be abolished. Norway must remain a monarchy; the people do not desire a republic"
