REAL OFFENSE NOT DISCLOSED
Some Followers of Racing Fear that
Durnen Is Being Used as General
Warming 20 Turfmen Who Are In

Are Objectionable TO Jockey Club.

Horsemen have not yet tired Of dis
cussing the order Of the Jockey Club
directing the secretaries of all racing as
sociations allied with it TO refuse the en-
tries of the horses of c. r. Durneu in the
future. Speculation as TO the particular
offense that provoked the sentence covers
a large field. and many profess the opin-
ion that Durnell has been harshly dealt
with having been selected, in reality. as
a medium through which a blow could be
struck at others against whose personal
ity and methods the men who control the
Jockey Club cherish a personal dislike.
But setting aside the particular merits
or dement's of Durnell's Individual case,
the action Of the racing authorities was
regarded almost universally as a power
ful move in the direction Of the better
ment of the sport. says the New York
Press.

Generations of astronomers were brought
up on these Marian seas. But. as the
planet came to be more closely examined
phenomena were observed which contra
dicted this idea. W. H Pickering took
the first step IN revOlutionlzing the old
theories. bat even he stopped short Of
the truth; FOR. while aboIshing many
OF the Martha. he yet concluded that there
were two seas on the planet. In 1894 and
subsequently il was determined by obser-
vations at Flagstaff that there were no
bodies of water there at all-that what
had been taken for seas were in fact

TRACTION TRAIN
IS A FAILURE
PEOPLE OF CROOK
COUNTY DISAPPOINTED.
After Long Years Of Waiting for
Transportation, nactlon Engine
Train Was Installed, But Upon
Trial Was Found TO BE Impractl-
cable-Another Trial VIII BE Made
Soon.

Despairing Of ever getting railroad
facilities with which to haul their
wheat to market, the people of Crook
county and other portions of central
oregon finally decided to install a
traction engine train of wagons, but
this has proved a failure Temperate
ly. The Madras Pioneer says:
After a slow trip out, requiring
about three days, and attended by
one or two slight accidents, the big
traction engine and two cars pulled
into Madras last Sunday morning,
having steamed to within a mile of
town the evening before.
The trip out, while made without
any serious accidents, demonstrated
one thing, however, and that is that
the big traction outfit cannot be
operated over the roads in their pres
ent condition in a manner to make
II profitable for those who are pro-
noting the enterprise Not onlw are
the roads full of chuckholes and bad
ly cut up by the heavily loaded freight
wagons, but the roads are too deep
with dust to be packed by the engine
and cars In the manner necessary to
make the enterprise successful Re-
alizing this after their first trip in,
the promoters of the enterprise have
temporarily abandoned the project Of
freighting all the way into Madras
from Shaniko.
1t is believed that later, after a
good rain has settled the dust and
leveled up the roads that the roads
will pack so that the train can be
operated all the way to successfully.
At any rate, another trial may be
made later when the conditions are
thought to be favorable.
The determination on the part of
the traction company to abandon the
freightlng project into Madras for
the present will cause general disap-
po!ntment among the business men
of the town, and the farmers of the
surrounding territory, who have been
looking forward to the successful
operation of the road train as means
of marketing this years abundant
crop of wheat.
The abandonment of the project is
said to be only temporary. however,
until good rain puts the roads into
better condition for another trial trip.

pends the continuance or permanent
abandonment of the traction freight
ing project.
Meanwhile the problem of freight |
ing this years crop is one that has |
to be solved Immediately, and farm
ers who had expected to ship their |
grain TO the railroad by the traction !
outfit. are compelled to find other
means.
It wae reported here the first of
the week that the traction company
wuold receive grain at Cross Keys
and haul from there to the railroad,
but that. too, has been abandoned.
