WHY IT WASN'T LEGAL,
Students FIippant Answer That Wa,
the Actual Truth.

In the New York law school at a
recent lecture on the making Of wills
the case Of woman in one OF Rider
Haggard's books was cited. The
woman had a mans will inscribed In
ink on her back. And the will was
held regular and legal because It had
been made in writing.
After giving this practical illustra
tion the professor called on John
Smith, saying:
is will SO inscribed regular and
legal, in your opinion?'
No" answered Smith.
why not?" asked the professor.
Because it's a skin game" replied
Smith.
The professor felt angry enough to
order Smith out OF the room, but the
class laughed so much that he de-
cided to overlook the students nip

$1,000 Purse at Seattle.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 16.-Few
racing events ever held on the Pa
cific coast have attracted as much
attention as is now being manifested
in the 1909" handicap, with $1,000
guaranteed. which will be run to-
morrow at the Meadows track. For
weeks trainers have been putting tho
crack thoroughbreds here into the
best possible condition for the great
event. OF the $1,000 purse, $500
will go to second and s40O to tho
third horse. Thu event is for three
year olds and upwards and the dis
tance a mile and a quarter. Until
the running OF tho Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific handicap in 1909, for which
a $4,000 purse is to be hung up,
the 1900" handicap will be the
feature of tho summer race meet
ings here. The A.-Y.-P. stake will
be the largest ever offered on the
Pacific coast. The Burns handicap,
worth $4,000, is at present the big
event on the coast, but the exposi-
tion purse will double it.

THE BEST
SHOW ON
EARTH

The Ringing Brothers circus was
at Baker City Tuesday and this is
what the Democrat of that city says
of It:
It can be said truthfully that never
before have Ringing Brothers them
selves, or any other circus, had on
the etreets of Baker City finer or
more expensive comparisoned parade
than that which appeared yesterday
morning. The main band wagon was
Adrawn by "a horses. The uniforms
bf the people taking part in the pa
rsde and the comparisons of the ami
malls, were all finished and complete.
There were twelve ponies on one
vehicle and "a ponies on another.
The horseback band was perhaps the
feature of the parade, while the 80
elephants made a whole show in
themselves. The calliope, the orches-
trian, the "rube" band, and the revo-
lutlonary fife and drum corps stirred
up the h.arts of many an old soldier
who watched the parade from the
sidewalk.
Ringing Bros, always did put up
the best show on the road, but yes
terday thy far exceeded their high
reputation. The trained animals,
including elephants, horses, ponies,
dogs, monkeys. were simply perfect
in their various acts. Three rings
and two stages were occupied all the
time and the air was filled with p r.
formers on trapezes and wire ropes,
clever bicycle riders, tumblers and
acrobats, skilled riders, men and
women, amused the immense throng.
The tent seats 5000 people and the
large troup OF clowns called forth
large applause. The concert and
feeding the animals after the show
was another feature worth seeing.

WILL RUSH WORK
ON ELECTRIC ROAD
Bridge the Willamette at Once-Line
from Albany.

While in Eugene yesterday A.
Welch and party conferred with J..
@. Storey, president OF the Eugene
& Eastern railway, and details of
construction OF the line to Spring
field and up the Mckenzie were gone
over. The Register learned last
evening that the contract for the
bridge across the Willamette at
Springfield will be let at once, and
building OF the road will be rushed
10 completion. Construction of this
line is now settled beyond all con-
troversy. and it will not be many days
before the electric cars will so hum
ming into Springfield and beyond.
When seen last evening and asked
about the line from Salem south to
Eugene, Mr., Weloh said he had every
reason to believe that Salem and AL
bany would each grant franchises
through their respective cities. Mr..
Welch says the line will be built to
Eugene beyond doubt, and that II
will be a competitor OF the Southern
Pacific through the valley.
A conference was held last even
ing in the interest of construction OF
the road from Albany to this city.
Early developments promise grati-
Tying news for Eugene in the matter
of electric railway connection with
Portland.

DIED
ON THE
TRAIL
DIED


A dispatch from Silverton yester-
day says that Henry Long, who re-
sides near that place died while
walking from the Clackamas Hot
Springs to the forks OF the Molalla.
In company with George and Roy
Thomas he had been at the springs
for some time for his health. Long
left an hour earlier than the others,
and when they were within about
FIVE miles of the Molalla they came
upon the body of Long lying in the
trail face down and dead. II is sup
posed that death was the result Of
some heart trouble, and was instan-
taneous. Soon after finding the body
two other men came along the trail
and the four improvising a litter car
ried the body to the wagon road, a
distance of about six miles, where
Mr.. Longs team was awaiting them.
The task was an arduous one, as the
trail is rough one, and the body
weighed 240 pounds. Mr. Long was
about SO years old and had been a
resident of oregon for many years.

across the concrete bridge on North
Commercial street. The AL is not

question as to where the track shall

great loss to the company and a

TO be hoped the management and

agreement.
