Nearly every stranger coming TO
Washington is Immediately impressed
with the great possibilities Of Sixteenth
street. Its location is unquestionably
superior TO that OF any other street IL
the city. and the present boom bids fair
TO lift II from its long lethargy to take
its place as II should. as a grand boule
ward lined with magnificent palaces.
Ex-senator and Mrs. J. B. Henderson
years ago realized its great possibilities
and became the leaders I'm keeping be-
fore the public the question OF its future
development. One Of the latest xand
most interesting additions 70 the street
is the splendid Venetian palace they are
erecting = few blocks ABOVE their own
residence, the very highest ground

of the entire city.
Unique for Washington.
The palace. or .-palazzo.' as they are

chosen largely from its fitness here,
where strong sunshine and bright skies
give Washington q climate much like

loots Mail Boxes.

BAKER CITY, Or, Nov. 1.-THE
unknown person who has been rifing
individual mail boxes in this city still
persists in his operations despite the
efforts of the police and secret SER
vice men to prevent him and effect
capture. This morning Postmaster
Moomaw found two opened letters
stuffed inside an iron pipe in front of
the office containing checks amount
mig to S25 for merchants in this city.
Another letter containing a check for
$500 was found today in the rear OF
the Baker Light and Power company's
office.
To date nearly $1,000 worth Of checks
have been found on the street, taken
from the postoffice. Suspicion points
to a 14-year-o youth, but as yet
there is no discriminating evidence
against him.

Up at Milwaukee Fair Pend
Ing Investigation

By Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 16,-A sensation
developed at the state fair grounds to-
day when 1t was announced that the
Citizens league big purse of $4,000 given
for the 2:21 trot yesterday would not
be distributed until the identity Of the
winner, Advancer, was established be-

The money was tied up in response
to directions from Secretary Knight of
the Western Trotting association, who
said that representations had been
made to him that Advancer was
ringer" The horse was then owned
by I. N. Chase, representing the For
est Park farm of Brandon, VT, and
was driven by Carpenter. Those who
claim the horse was a ringer" declare
the animal was campaigning three or

Has Minor Accident


Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 15.-Shet-
tiers REQ came through in the Ramb-
ler-Reo endurance run without loss
Of credit, only one stop having been
made at Ventura for gasoline and oil.
Cowan's Rambler reached this city
at 1875 o'clock, having covered the dis
tance between the two cities in six
hours and twenty-nine minutes. They
report having reached Calabasas at
$40 and Ventura at 11:04.
The Rambler lost 20 points in repairing
spark plug which gave the driver
much trouble. They found the roads
badly cut up by heavy teaming. The
Rambler made clean score to Ven
tura.
At the garage it was found that each
machine consumed eight gallons of
gasoline. but the REQ used half pint
more of cylinder oil than the Rambler
and is therefore cents behind on the
economy test.
The cars leave on the return trip at
o'clock tomorrow.

Hoodoo Which Has Followed Locals

Last-Henderso Blows
Up In Sixth
VISITORS SCORE ON ERRORS
Los Angeles, 4; Portland, 2.

Los Angeles, 4; Portland, 2.
Baum, Morley's lanky twirler, yester-
day broke the hoodoo which has been
handicapping the Angels since their
return from the north, and the locals
were able to dispose of Portland.
The northerners scored two runs in
their half of the first inning, but this
was not Baum's fault at all. Errors
by Smith and Flood enabled Atz and
schlafly to make the circuit, and the
fans figured the thing out that Los
Angeles was due to lose once more.
Henderson, mere youth, and a re-
cent acquisition to Mercedes forces,
was on the slab for Portland, and he
had figured the thing out just as had
the fans.
There was no more scoring until the
sixth inning when the Angels began
to take kindly to Mr.. Henderson. Tim
Flood was hit by the pitcher and
ambed down to first rubbing sore
spot on his leg. Toman sacrificed and
Judson Smith singled to left, scoring
Flood, and raced around to third while
Van Buren in left field was trying to
pick up the ball. Brashear singled and
Dillon did likewise, scoring Smith and
Brashear.
The Angels added fourth to their
runs in the eighth. After Smith flew
out, Brashear walked. He stole sec
ond, but sprained his ankle and Eager
took his place. Dillon contributed
single, and Eager scored.
Baum seemed to pitch better ball
all the time and Portland could not
score.
Brashear's injury Is painful and prob
ably will keep him out Of the game for
several days.
