GOV. UTTER'S
BAN ON POOL
SELLING

There Is CONSERVATION among the local
horseman. now they know that GovArnor
Utter has placed ban upon pool selling
and book making at Narragansett park,
and. In fact, proposed to stop II at all the
country trotting parks.
IL was but a few days ago that the
patrons OF horse racing received the
cheering tidings that a license had been
obtained for the holding OF series OF
steeplechases a Narragansett park.
At the same time the information stirred
up a feeling at the State House which SO
worked upon Governor Utter that he de-
cided 10 place check on the entire racing
business unless the legislature intervened.
He, therefore, served formal notice upon
the local legal representative OF the Ma
tional Horse Breeders association that II
any attempt was made 10 make books at
the contemplated running meeting at Mar
ragansett park he would cause each and
every offender 10 be arrested and prose-
cuted
WIDE OPEN LAST FALL
The governor also stated that he would
extend the ban so as 10 include the an
nual meeting OF the Grand Circuit. which
has become a fixture at NarragG lsett
park To shut OFF these races means that
thousands OF dollars will be lost 20 the
railroads, the hotels and the grain dealers,
according TO the sporting men.
Governor Utter suggests way out or
the difficulty. He says that he will pre-
vent all pool selling unless a special act
is passed by the general assembly sane
tioning II. Such a law was enacted in
1892, which permitted local agricultural
societies 20 sell pools during the months
Of May and June.
The following summer the ponies MADE
their first appearance at Narragansett
park and for nearly a month proved a
great drawing card. Governor ID. Rus
sell Brown In his annual message TO the
general assembly I'm 1898 advised that the
law be repealed, and this action was
taken
Since then there has been pool selling
at the special rsce meets and for the
grand circuit events. Last summer the
ponies were brought here again and were
billed for two weeks.
The patronage was so good and betting
was so remunerative that the manage
ment decided 10 extend the meeting at
least a week and TO make the August meet
longer than had been originally arranged
for.
A special license was obtained from the
New York Jockey club for the extension
OF the meeting: but suddenly the ponies
were shipped to New York.

SENT AGENTS TO RACES.

II now transplres that Gov. Utter has
not interfered in the first instance be-
cause as he says he was not fully posted
on the ins and outs OF pool-selling. lie
sent trusted agents 20 the park, VINO
brought him back full information. lie
did not avail himself OF this knowledge
until the announcement was made that
the meeting was 10 be extendec-then he
put his foot down fiat.
There does not seem 10 be the remotest
chance OF the present general assembly
passing any pool-selling law. There are
cogent reasons why no act permitting
pool-selling can be put through either
house. Both branches are Overwhelmingly
Republican
II the legislature should have the hard
ihood TO pass an act sanctioning pool-sell-
ing Il would make the Republican party
responsible for the same That would
bring the big church vote right on the
fighting iine attti-tAe-l legislature elected
next fall. and which will come In next
January, would not be Republican. The
general assembly OF 1907 is TO elect
United States senator TO succeed Senator
George Peabody Wetmore and majority
of both branches is wanted by the Repub-
leans for that purpose.
Ii Is obvious. then, what fate would be-
fall pool-selling act were one introduced
al this session.
NO sTEEPLECHASE PERHAPS.
The steeplechase meet will hardly be
held. and II the grand circuit races are
held and the governor adheres TO his an
nounced policy, the big horsemen VIII
not come here with their stables.
The local representative of the National
Horse Breeders association says that he
has had no time In which to look over the
situation and does not know what the as
sociation will do.
Many improvements in the Narragan-
sett Park property were also contempla-
ted. and the prospect for continued rae
ing was so favorable that the Breeders
association had formulated plans for two
meetings next summer, instead OF one.
With a view OF improving the general
tone Of the meeting. steeplechase course
was laid out last autumn. and all that re-
mains To be done 10 complete the cross
country course is TO put the jumps in
place. All Of this work was done at CON
siderable expense, and the members OF
the association undoubtedly felt that their
efforts were appreciated by the local au-
thoritles
In planning for the opening meeting OF
the season at Cranston, the steeplechass
dates were so arranged that they would
follow the meetings at Bennings, Baltl-
more Toronto and Buffalo, so that the
timber toppers would be right on edge
when Il came time for the flags 10 20 up
az Narragansett Park.
In addition 10 the horses that would or
dinarily come from the above mentioned
circuit. it was more than likely that some
Of the very best chasers from New York
and Boston would be entered for the
Providence meeting.

LoNDoN's WHEAT MARKET.
Grain Trade Has Two Branches or
EXCHANGES.

There are two distinct branches of
the grain trade in London, and two
markets or exchanges. Mark Lane. in
Mark Lane street, originally known as
the corn Market" is the market for
spot stuff, that is, grain or -four on
the spot, in vessels just arrived or in
warehouses on the docks. The tran
sactions are AL of a jobblng nature
in parcels" consisting of 1000 to TO-
600 or more sacks (2S0 pounds) of
-four or 1000 bushels and upward of
grain.
The other market is the Baltic" i.
e., the Baltic Mercantile & Shipping
Exchange. This is the home of float
ing cargoes,' and its members buy
grains and other products in the mar
kets of the world for shipment to Lon
don in cargo lots. The entire cargo.
however, is not necessarily all the
property of one house.
There has evolved from the Baltic
grain market, of necessity, the Corn
Trade association, which is probably
one of the most perfect working and
useful trade organizations in the
world. 1t has established uniform con
tracts for use with the different grain
exporting countries, it fixes the stand
ard of grades, except with America and
Canada, and arbitrates all differences
between buyer and seller.
There is no future" market in Lon
don similar to the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade, the Minneapolis Cham
Der of commerce and other American
exchanges. Both the Baltic and Mark
Lane had future markets, where hedg
ing and speculative trading was done,
until some four or five years ago, or
until America ceased to be large ex-
porter of wheat. American wheat was
at that time the basis for trading. Now,
Argentine or Plate" wheat is the
standard both in London and Liver
pool.

MINING NOTES.

The South Kendall Mining company
has been organized at Seattle, Wash,
to take over the Nipper, Silver Bow
and Blue Jay claims, situated near
Kendall and the property was trans
ferred to the corporation by James A.
Moore, the Seattle capitalist.
George A. Pettibone, former execu-
tive committeeman of the Western
Federation of Labor and one of the
men charged with the assassination
of former Governor Steunenberg, is in
the county Jail at Boise. William d.
Haywood is in the Canyon county jail
at Caldwell, and Charles ii. Meyer is
in the Boise Jail.
Reports from Nome say one of the
richest and most important strikes of
the winter has been made on claim

Bedrock is so feet down, and the
company has drifted so feet. There
is eight feet of pay dirt and the rim
has not been struck.
Walter Scott, commonly called
"Scotty," the Death Valley miner, was
arrested recently at San Francisco
after his arrival from the north. The
arrest was based on a telegraphic re-
port from the sheriff of San Bernar-
dino county stating that Scott was
wanted there to answer a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon. The
charge grows out of recent attack
on party of people who were being
escorted to SCOTS mine.
The Conrad Consolidated Mines,
consisting of 10 claims ON Windy
Arm, near White Horse, have been
sold to William Mckenzie, owner of
the Canadian & Northern railway, for
100000 cash. These mines were
bought on options last year by a syn
dictate of Seattle business men who
obligated themselves to pay 100000
for the property, which they have
since sold for $5,O00,O00. UP to date
this is the largest single mining deal
ever turned in the history of Alaska.

Good Joke on Firemen.

The Hiram (Ohio) fire department
has the finest assortment of girls hose
in the state, as a result of an appeal
for new equipment. The fire depart
ment has been in great need of more
rubber hose with which to fight fires.
To raise funds a subscription paper
was passed among students and citi-
Gems, the goods not being neglected. A
student solicitor called on the young
women of Bowler and Millen halls and
asked their assistace. Next morning
he found a clothes line stretched
across the street from his window
bearing some 80 pairs of women's
hose of varying sizes and colors.
On the line in big letters was this
inscription: The ladies of Bowler and
Millen halls take PLEASURE in contrib
uting 80 feet of hose to the support
of the Hiram fire department"
The students have now taken it up
on themselves to identify the donors
in each case, and there is consterna-
ton in the dormitorles.
