DR.. E. l.. Ingersoll, the democratic
nominee for the office of coroner,
is a man well fitted by experience
in the medical profession for the
work devOlying upon a coroner.
furthermore, he is a man who by
both temperament and inclination
is a student of medico-legal propo-
sitions that are always cropping I'D
in cases which come before the
semi-judicial office of coroner. Born
in Owego, N. Y, "a years ago, DR..
lngersoll has been in Spokane coun-
ty and the state of Washington for
three years, during which he has
engaged in general practice of medi.

have indicated to DR.. Ingersoll DOS
slblllties for both the good and the
bad in the conduct of the office of
coroner. Of his attitude he writes.
If elected, I will conduct the Of
flee of coroner for the best interests
of the citizens of Spokane county
without fear or favor and not ex.
clusively for the railroads and cor.
porations.

a candidate whose successful pro-

ed to them yesterday at the Inter.
state track when Golden Light was
the only favorite who won.
Things began with the first race
when Effeffrvescence, that sold at
as good as to 1, beat Swift Queen,
the favorite, in the five and half
furlongs. Chief Aloha was third,
while Pay Me, who had chance,
didn't show. Time 1:10k.

seven furlongs. 1t was easy gal

was the strong favorite and the
talent fell over itself getting money
up on him at to 10. The time
was the track record of 1924.
1t was the same old story in the
next race, but this time Golden
Light was heavily backed to about
to 10 by post time. Legal Form
and Tuck Back looked like the
money on the start. The distance
was mile and an eighth and
Juckey Johnny Clark kept Golden
Light we'll back almost until the
mile was finished Tuck Back, who
kicked and raised the dickens in
general at the post, acted like he
had cannon BALI in him. He
ran away from his field for the
first three quarters of a mile, and
even then was going good when he
quit like a dog. Then Clark urged
Golden Light, who with Legal Form
hanging onto his tail passed Tuck,
the latter quitting worse than ever.
Time 1:57h.
The crowd was no so used to see
ing Jack Peters stable getting a.S
the money that Golden Buck got
considerable play. Atoka-the
horse that broke the track record
at Butte, Mont, was lacked clear
off the board for a short time.
Mysty's Pride was the hot favorite
but ran like she wore Oregon boots.
The distance was five furlongs and
Golden Buck ate it up and finished
ahead of Billy Mahan with Mysty's
Pride third. Time 1:02.
Jack Pelter got all the money in
sight yesterday. His Sun Mark
broke the track record for seven
furlongs in the fast time of 1:29R;
Golden Light broke the mile and an
eighth record and set it at 1902,
which is also the new track rec
ord. Golden Buck set the five fur
longs at 1:02. Johnny Clark, Pei
ter's jockey, rode all three horses
and covered himself with glory.
The harness races yesterday
were exciting, especially the $1,000
Northwest stake. Walton made
great drive with Athisham and won
both heats. Lady Jones was sec

and fourth money. Time 2:17k.

in speaking of the meeting
of the southwestern CONNER

that there was an air of push, enter

that spelled "SOCTHWEST" in
capital letters. In his address to
that body he told how during the past
five years the tide of immigration
had been turned to this section of the
country by the railroads.
He then told Of the wonderful re-
sources and development of the
southwest. He quoted figures pre-
pared by the Secretary of Agricult-
ure showing that during the last five
years the farms in the United States
have increased in value $6,l33,-
100000 or "a per cent,
"Now, let me give you another sig
nitcant fact" he continued, Forty
one per cent of this total is found in
what may be termed the southwest.
Let us take the state of Oklahoma
for example.
"Oklahoma and Indian Territory
combined in the year 1890 produced
234,3l5 bushels of corn, in the year
1900 they produced 69,OOO,OOO bush
els of corn and in 1908, ll0,42O,OOO
bushels of corn.
"ln 1890 these territories pro-
duced $4,000 bales of cotton, in 1900
this was advanced to 234,OOO bales OF
cotton. and in 1908 and 1906 each
the astonishing figures of 556.40C
bales were the results"
What country in history can be
found that has made such II phenonl-
enal record
