CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 7.-Notwlth-
standing the quarrel of the Oak Park
Horse Show management with the
Oak Park Business Mems association
the annual horse show of Oak Park,
which will open this afternoon on the
grounds of the Westward Ho Golf club,
promises to be a great success. The
trouble originated when the horse
show managers asked the business
men to set their parade either before
or after the parade of the horses. The
business men Indignantly refused and
said they would have their parade at
the time originally set, or not at all.
The Horse Show managers We're OBJ
durate and finally the business men
gave up their parade altogether, but
tried to get even by refusing to adver-
tise the horse show or have their adj
vertisements put in the horse show
programs. The supporters of the
horse show are nearly all very wealthy
people and they did not care very
much whether the businessmen Of Oak
Park felt offended or not. The man
agement filled it's programs with ad-
vertisements of Chicago business
houses and the Oak Park business
men We're left out in the cold.

mouth of the river for a long time and
the fishermen in order to make good
catches were compelled to cross the
bar after them. Although there were
few sever storms during tn season,
there is usually a heavy swell running
outside and during the heavy fogs
many boats were wrecked on Peacock
spit, Sand Island and the jetty sands
and While some of these were after

WATER HAS Been DRAINED OFF,

Quite a novel sight is to be seen
nowadays along the banks of Powder
river where the small boy is revel-
ling in the heavenly delights of catch
ing fish by the sackfull, and without
the aid of either hook or line, says the
Baker City Democrat. The big ca
nal that taps the river up In the can
yon is just now drawing off the sur
plus water for the storage reservoirs
and the result is that the river is very
low and in places almost dry. The
city sewerage that empties in the
river below the city has had the ef-
feet of driving the finny tribe up the
river in order to get into purer water
and the result is that the shallow
pools along the stream are literally
swarming with fish. The procedure
of capturing the fish by the boys is
a very simple one They find a prom
Using hole that is well stocked with
fish and getting in the water at the
deepest end proceed to drive the fish
into the shallow water where they are
helpless and then pick them up and
sack them. AS there is no law against
a man Or boy catching fish with his
bare hands the boys pursue their I'M
usual occupation with great glee and

EARTHQUAKE IS EXPLODED

Dynamite Explosion.

FARMER CLEARS UP The MYSTERY

The earthquake which was felt in
Baker City and vicinity last Thursday
morning and which has been chroni-
cled by Weather Observer Grover as
a genuine earthquake, was no earth
quake at all, in the accepted meaning
of the term, according to D. B. Stahl,
prominent rancher living about eight
miles below town, says the Baker City
Herald.
Mr.. Stahl, while not. being a comos
that earthquake. He has refrained
from admitting his responsibility until
the cooling of the ardor of some of the
ranchers down there whose COWS tried
to jump over the moon. Now that the
bOvines have settled down to their
customary life on the earth Mr.. Stahl
tells how the earthquake was created
He had a box containing 40 pounds
of dynamite and a threshing crew fixed
a celebration whereby the dynamite
was exploded Thursday morning at 5
o'clock. AS a result all the COWS and
horses in that section were knocked
down and the wind knocked out of
them, houses were shaken, window
panes broken and the old mountain
crust given such a jar that it was felt
all over the valley. The explosion
tore a hole in the ground 80 feet long,
20 feet wide and ten feet deep.

Plan of Company.
1t seems that the plan of this COM
pany is to amalgamate the interests
of the proposed new company at this
place with the Natural Oil & Develop
ment Co., of Montana which thiS
concern has established with consld-
cradle work done at this time, placing
10000 shares of treasury stock of the
Montana company on sale here anu
the amount derived from such SAFES
to be expended for the development u
the Walla Walla enterprises, tho
present and future owners OF the
Montana stock to participate IN the
profits that may accrue from the
Walla Walla plant, and those WIN
take stock in the Walla WalIa vi
home company to participate in Inc
profits of the Montana plant.
Is a Good Plan.
This would seem to us a very Ian
way to place this stock before tnO
people of this vicinity as a lucA'
strike Of either oil or gas in eithei
place would mean a fine appreciation
of values of stocks.
