Mare Fan Z0ndt
GOIdSmith Maid Only Parallel
In Turf History-Hsr
Career.

OF the light harness performers con-
spacuous during the season just closing
none has Of late been the subject Of
more comment than the trotting mare
Van Zantt, winner Of the 2:lO class at
Lexington, KY.
This mare Is now sixteen years old,
and, Goldsmith Maid alone excepted,
nottng history shows nothing ap-
preaching a parallel Of her career.
The Maid was the first 2:I6 trotter,
and her best record, which stood as the
worlds for years, was 2:l4. which she
made when seventeen years old. This
she repeated two years later, when
nineteen, and the next year celebrated
her twentieth birthday by trotting a
mile In 2:141a.
But Goldsmith Maid ran unbrOken
until eight years Of age and did not
appear on the turf until she was nine.
She was fully matured before her
speed was developed, which gave her
a sOundness of wind and limbs that
was practically time defying. for when
she was finally retired at the age Of
twenty-one she was still sound.
Van Zandt was bred on Gardeners Is
land. small islet which lies at the east
end Of Long Island, New York, where,
by the way, several other good trOt-
tiers have been produced. Queerly
enough, this Oldest fast trotter known
comes from the family which IL most
noted for its possession of extreme

Ger, her sire, Chime Bell, having been
q son OF that famous progenitor. Van
Zandts dam was Alex Ida, by Alexan
der HI. Sherman, son of Idol Idol was
taken west to Iowa, where he spent
bis last years, and many high class
western trotters and PAGERS descended
from him.

Zandt. He is not professional horse
man, but a man of wealth who finds
his greatest pleasure sitting behind her
In a race. She became his property az
a weanling and, like Goldsmith Maid,
was handful" to break and educate.
Devereaux worked a long while to es-
tablish her gait and get her properly
rugged and balanced and finally took
her to the races when she was Ave
years old, that being in 1895.
She made four starts that season and
Jew at high game-the green classes
on the grand clrcuit-from the first. In
two of these races she was unplaced,
and in two she was third. She did not

county so that the expense of medical
attendance is greatly increased over
the expense of keeping the poor at one

Because the county charges are at this

we are unable to visit them and to

We fiud that attorneys and others
have been in the past allowed to take

about returning them, and would

upon receipt given stating the time
within which return shall be made of
the papers, conditioned that failure to
return the papers at the time provided

The GRAND JURY
MAKES ITS REPORT
Recommends That the COUNTY
Books Be Exported on Gen.
eral Prin ciples.

To the Honorable H. K. Hanna,
i Judge;
We. the grand jury for the County
OF Josephine, State of Oregon, drawn
for the September. 1906, term of the
circuit court. respectfully report:
That we have diligently inquired
into all cases in which defendants
were bound over to wait action of this
court. and returned true bills where
justifiable, and not true bills in the
other cases; that we have examined
into many complaints brought by
private prosecutors, and returned true
bills where justifiable, and dismissed
the others.
We have examined the county rec
ords. and find them neatly kept. Lack
OF time has prevented an examination
into accounts, or the finances of the
county. AS various complaints have
been made to us as to financial mat
tiers of the county, the correctness of
which we have not had time to deter
mine, and as the books of the county
have not been exported for more
than 10 years, we respectively suggest
that the county court appoint three
disinterested taxpayers to serve with.
out pay, who shall recommend to the
county court one or more experts,
who shall be disinterested and COM
petent, to examine into the financial
affairs, records and proceedings of the
county and of the county court, and
respectfully ask that the county court
contract for such work with some ex.
pert or experts to be chosen from the
number recommended by said tax
PAYERS; that the experts examine care
fully into the financial affairs of the
county covering period of 10 years
last past, that they examine into pub
lie matters touching the county as
transacted by county officials within
the said time, and that such exami.
nation be made under the snper rvision
of such taxpayers. That said experts
report from time to time to said tax
payers, for instructions as to matters
to be Investigated, and follow the in
strucions of such taxpayers. That
they make final report as to their find.
ings and as to the financial conditions
of the county, and the administration
of its affairs during the 10 years last
past. This recommendation is made
without reflection upon any public
officers or servants, but because we
believe that such Investigations should
be made from time to time.
We respectfully recommend that the
county purchase small farm of good
land near the county sent to be used
as a poor farm, where the county
shall keep all of its charges at all
times; that it employ competent
physician at fair compensation, who
shall attend the county poor when re-
quired, under annual contract. 1t
