THIRTY TO ONE SHOT GAVE THE
BOOkIES SURPRISE OF THEIR
LIFE.
Came in Mile Event-Suburban
Queen Played Heavy Was Z. Good
Third and Expedient Second.

Baldo, owned by c. Dye, with Her
bert up and a 80 to 1 shot in the
betting ring, won the mile race yes
terday afternoon in one of the most
sensational finishes ever seen on
the Walla Walla track. Expedient,
ridden by Lane, was a neck behind
Balde at the wire and Suburban
Queen, played heavy by the bookies,
was a length behind Expedient. Mer-
wan, the favorite, was left at the
nalf mile post but was we'll up with
the tailenders. The time was 1:42k.
Baldo's win was a surprise to the
bookies as we'll as to the sport who
had the nerve to put up his money
with Suburban Queen and Merwan
in the race. The betting opened with
Balde a Is to 1 shot, but this was
jumped to 25 to 1 and a few bets
were made at that figure. Later these
figures jumped to 80 to 1 and the
sports bet their money just for
the fun of the thing. When Baldo
galloped under the wire winner by
half length the sports who had their
money up on the big bay sent up
a yell that almost caused the grand
stand people to think a riot was in
progress in the betting ring.
Five horses were entered in the
race, Bo1de, Prestolus, Expedient
Merwan and Suburban Queen Some
little trouble was experienced in
getting the horses off, but as they
flashed under the wire Suburban Queen
jumped quickly to the front. Her
admirers sent up a yell and continued
to "hOller" as the mare opened up
daylight at each jump. At the half
Baldo and Expedient began moving
up and at the last quarter post they
were neck and neck with Suburban

and 1892 Injured Last Year
In England.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. o.
Statistics just published by the Brit
ish board of trade explode the theory
that there are more accidents ON
American than on British railways. It
appears from the figures that Ameri-
can railway travel is safer in proper
ton than railway travel in the British
Isles. According to the report for
1904, 1877 passengers, 44S railroad em-
ployes and 573 other persons. a total
of 1853 persons, were killed and 1892
Britain. During the same time AL
passengers. 1882 employees and 1913
other persons were killed and S4,155
injured by railroad accidents in the
United States. The total mileage Of
the British railways is 22,600 miles.
while that of the American railways Is
213,9O4 miles. The American mileage
is nine and one-half times that Of
Great Britain, while the total of the
American railway fatalities is less
than nine times the English total. The
total of injured on American railways
is less than four and one-half times
the English total. In addition to that
it must be considered that the pas
senger and freight mileage on Ameri-
can railways is far greater than that
of British railways and that the
amount of business done in this coun-
try and the speed of the trains Is also
far greater than the business and the
speed in Great Britain.

hand of Herbert, began forging to
the front at the eighth post and in
spite of the nerculean efforts on the
part of Lane to push Expedient to
the front finished a good half length
to the good. Expedient was coming
fast and Suburba Queen was but
a neck behind. When Baldo passed
under the wire a great shout went

$4,000 In Six Months.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Fifty
thousand applications were filed by
men and women seeking positions in
the government service during a pc
riod of six MONTHS says an official
of the civil service commission.
"These applications were made be-
tween Jan. l and June 80 of this year
Of this number about $4,000 took the
examination. AS a rule something
like 10 per cent of the people who file
applications fail to take the examina-
ton. The idea some people have that
there is but a small chance to get into
the government service through the
medium of a competitive examina-
ton is contrary to our statistics
Tnirty-five per cent of the applicants
who pass the examinations are ap-
pointed. Last year 100000 applicants
appeared for examination. One hun
dred thousand of them passed and 49,
900 of these were appointed. The ave-
rage age of those appointed was %

Cannon, and the plan Of consolidation
would probably meet with the approx

remembered that the carrying out OF

COMMISSIONER RICHARDS WILL
RECOMMEND CHANGES IN
THE PUBLIC LAND SERVICE.
and Receiver, Thus Cutting Off
Good Federal Jobs.

In his forthcoming annual report to
the secretary of the interior, Land
Commissioner w. A. Richards will
make two important recommendations
that are entirely new.
AS a means Of reducing fraud under
the various land laws he will recon-
mend the enactment of a law impos-
ing a heavy penalty upon any one who
offers any inducement to another to
make any kind of public land entry In
the interest of second party, ana
increasing the penalty to be imposed
upon those who make entries for the
sole purpose of selling out at a profit.
Commissioner Richards realizes the
difficulty of securing convictions OF
persons who make speculative entries
under the law as it stands today. He
believes if the law is made more dras-
tic. and is made to apply not only TO
the man who submits to a speculative
proposition, but to the man who Of
fers the bride, that there will be less
difficulty in reaching the men who are
really responsible for much of the
fraud that is now perpetrated in every
western state.
The second recommendation which
Commissioner Richards will make Will
concern local land offices. Since the
establishment of the public land SER
vice each local land Office has been IN
charge of a register and a receiver.
and in offices doing a good business
each official has drawn down $4,000
year. Experience has shown that In
almost every instance the work of
local land office could be more salts
factorily handled by one official than
by two. Time and again embarrass-
ment has arisen because of personal
friction between the register and re-
ceiver of some local land office; there
has been a temporary suspension OF
business pending an adjustment;
many times the register or the receiver
would have to be removed and new
one appointed, and all the while the
change was in process public business
was blocked, for no land office can
transact business unless both the
register and receiver are present.
The commissioner, therefore, will
recommend that the offices of register
and receiver be consolidated, thus
doing away with one superf1uous Off
Ger in each land office.
If congress acts on this suggestion,
and abolishes the Office of register at
local land offices, it would mean
great saving in expenditure, as shown
by the following table:

A novel advertising idea was intro

1.-THE WEEK !
: In SOCIETY |

With the turn of the year came the
first experience Of real winter to Lar.
annie. and society events were largely
omitted this week In consequence, al.
though the regular clubs and lodge
gatherings suffered no interruption.
The worlds fair meeting OF the Wo-
mans club at the Miller home Thursday
evening was an instructive as we'll as
novel occurrence and tne program was
much enjoyed by the members and
their friends. Several parties will be
given next week complimentary to
Mrs. Wright and Miss Edith Wright
of PocatellO, the usual number OF club
dates being also in evidence. Indeed,
from now on until Lent. the city prom
ises to be more than Dusy, among the
events of marked note being the Char
ity ball on the 9th of this month, the
ball by Black Hills lodge, b. of L. F.,
which cur on the 22nd of February
and the annual Masonic oall, which
falls this season on the oath of that
month.
One of the most successful sessions
e enjoyed by the Charity Whist club
was held Wednesday evening, with
Mrs. Hodgeman, Mrs. James Mathison
and Mrs. Grant as hostesses. The beau
tiful new tables which have been pur-
chased by the club were used for the
first time and were declared perfect.
These tables will be rented to the club
members and their friends for use at
card parties and the proceeds there
the club. Mrs. Bartlett made the ban
ner score among the ladies with a rec
ord OF 80, and DR.. Swiga-t o "a
points. An appetizing luncheon was
served by the entertaining ladies'.
which was as novel as it was accept
able. The gentlemen of the club re-
sponded promptly to the fire alarm at
10 o'clock, doing valiant service in the
bitter night but they were served by
the ladies' upon their return. The next
session Of the club falls during the
week Of the Charity ball and it was
decided not to have refreshments at
the meeting. as the ladies' will be oc-
cupied with matters pertaining to the
dance. so no entertaining ladies were
named, although the club will play as
usual, the date being the 25th.
