BOOTS DURNELL
SELLS HIS RACERS
Nealon Goes to Billy Dubois For
14,OOO-Rainey Buys Half
Brother to De Mund.

Boots" Durnell wound up his rae
ing career in America last Friday.
when every race horse and yearling
that he owned was disposed of at
auction in the paddock before the
races. 1t was a sale that was salts
factory in every way, and when Mr..
Durnell starts his campaign in Eng
land he will have few thousands of
his own, besides the millions of John
w. Gates back of him.
The star of the sale was Nealon,
the winner of the Suburban. He was
started at $1,000 by Orlando Jones,
and was Immediately raised to $10,-
900 by ]. w. Colt. Then Billy Du-
bois, who recently purchased Charles
Edward for $4,000, and who would
not sell him for less than $4,000,
ran the price up until $13,500 was
offered. At that price Mr.. Colt re-
tired, and Dubois bidding $500 more
got the colt for $4,000.
Jacobite was knocked down to
Lucky Charley" Ellison for $500,
and Temaceo for $4,000. OF the
horses ready to race Joe Nealon went
for $4,000, st. Ilario for $1,000 and
East End for $3.50.
The star of the yearlings was a
brother to De Mund and Cha
pultepec. There was lively competi
ton for him, but the best slayer was
Roy A. Rainey, who owns De Mund,
and he got the colt for S., 100.
Durnel paid just $1,000 more for
the colt when he bought him in the
July sales in New York.

UNCLE SANS BOYS
At OLYMPIC GAMES
Made That The American
Runners Will Hold Their
Own i'm 1908.

NEW YORK, Aug. FIT may
seem rather previous to comment up
on the probable outcome of the clash
between Uncle Sans distance men
and John Bulls flyers at the Olympic
games to be held in London in July,
1905, but as this feature of track
sport is admittedly our weak point,
it behooyes us to get an early start
and make lengthy and well-timed
preparation for this meet. Owing to
our well-known strength in distances
under one mile, and the sweeping vic
tories won by our men in these events
at Athens last year, little need be
said at the present time concerning
the men who will look after Uncle
Sans claims to supremacy in the
shorter distances. But too much can
not be said in the way of promoting
interest in distance dunning, encour-
aging athletes who show promise of
development, and urging our season.
ed men to their best efforts.
The distance runs to be held in
connection with the meet, as recent
ly announced, are l,30O metres, four
miles, ten miles, and three-mile
team race. In this latter event i've
men will be allowed to represent each
country, the first three men of the
five to count in the score, the team
scoring the smallest number of points
winning.
Available Runners.
For the mile, England has Butter
field, the present champion, and Nc
Cough, both of whom are capable of
doing better than 1920, and possibly
one or two others. However, with
such men as Lightbody, Haskins,
Sheppard, Rodgers, Coe, Sullivan and
Cohn to choose from, America S
chances look very bright, all of these
men being capable of close to ago.
But in the distance over a mile our
men show up poorly by comparison
The best men running at present are
Rowe and Hull of Michigan, Magoffin
of Cornell, Bonhag, lrish-American
and Nebrichm, New York A. c. The
three former mentioned have con-
fined their efforts to college running
and have rarely run more than two
miles in competition. Rowe and Ma
coffin, however, are seasoned men
and can probably run four and five
miles Just as well as two miles. They

CHICAGO MAY
TAKE OFF LID

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Judging
from the present indications there is
strong probability that the boxing
game will be allowed to flourish in
Chicago during the coming winter,
and already promoters are looking
forward to some high-class matches.
Last Friday night meeting of four
teen representatives from as many
local athletic clubs met and formed
an association to be known as the
Associated Athletic Clubs of Chicago.
This new organization is formed for
the purpose of harmonizing boxing
and athletic interests and to avoid
such friction among the different
clubs as formerly existed, and led to
the shutting down on boxing in this
city. The lid has been on the box
ing game in this city for the past few
years and the reason for the ban
was because of the constant pickering
between the promoters of boxing con-
tests Now. that this new association
has been formed-which represents
every club of any Importance in the
city-there seems no reason to doubt
that harmony will be secured and the
boxing game may be established on a
high basis 1t has been intimated
that those who are in touch with the
present administration that Mayor
Busse is not unfavorab1e to lifting
the lid that is now on the boxing
game, provided he is given assurance
from responsible parties that the
game will be conducted on a square
basis and that there will be no danger
of fake fights. AS all the clubs are
combining in the new organization
it looks as though the association
should be strong enough to control
the game and keep it straight. If
the mayor takes this view Chicago
will once more be placed on the pugil-
istic map, at least for six and ten
round bouts.

TRANCE POST-MORTENI.

Johann Kovacs, a railway station
porter at Bihar, in Hungary, had re-
Gently a narrow escape from being
dissected alive.
Two days ago he fell down uncon-

to the hospital. The doctors pro-

preparations were made, the body
being put on the dissecting table,
where a lecture was delivered over it
to the students before the body was
opened.
At the first prick of the knife, Ko-

FROM ELG|N, ILLINOIS
TO DENVER BY WHEEL

Denver Post.
All theh way from Elgin, H., to
Denver on bicycles, sleeping nights
on blankets wherever they happened
to be, riding through the hot sum-
mer days and expanding only 60 cents
for repairs on their wheels, Harry
Brown and b. Myron Ikert have
made one of the most interesting
trips of the year.
They reached Denver Saturday,
having been on the way since July
8. The cyclometer which Ikert had
fastened to his wheel showed a to-
tai of LIZA miles covered. Stops
were made along the way at Des
Moines, Davenport, Omaha, Blair
Neb., and Stanton, Neb.
The young men undertook the long
journey in spirit of fun. Brown
desired to locate here, and his COM
panion offered to escort him to the
new country. Ikerft will return when
the weather gets cool enough to make
the journey less trying. The nights
were generally rainy and sleeping out
of doors was often decidedly uncom-
Portable. No attempt to carry pro-
visions was made, but restaurants
were found often enough to save the
two from total hunger
Ordinary bicycles were used for
the trip. The men decided that to
have wheels built would be an unnec-
essary extravaganza and gave the old
ones a trial. They followed the Chi
cago &c Northwestern track from De
Kalb, ILL.,, to Omaha, and from there
came to Denver along the route of
the Union Pacific. At Omaha they
narrowly escaped arrest, being mis-
taken for Migrants. Their wheels
were at Council Bluffs. BY freak
of fortune, not one puncture occurred
along the line.

THE SEA-CIRT RIFLE
MATCHES NEXT MONTH

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 81
After the national rifle matches and
those of the National Rifle associa-
ton, which will be shot at Camp Per-
ry, Ohio, the attention of the rifle
world will be turned toward Sea Grit,
\. j., where the matches of the New
Jersey Rifle association will be shot
from September 2 to Z, inclusive.
Probably a majority of the teams
from Camp Perry, certainly large
number, will PROCEED to Sea Girt for
these matches. Sea Girt has long
been famous for its rifle matches and
possesses one of the best ranges in
the country. The principal match
will be that for the Dryden trophy,
presented by former Senator Dryden
of that state, one of the handsomest
trophies in the country. 1t is open
10 the same teams as are eligible for
the national match, except that the
teams shall be composed of eight in
stead of twelve men. The distances
are 200, 900, and ! 900 yards. The
Dryden trophy carries with it $3.50
in cash with 500 to the second team
and $50 to the third team. There
are also the interstate regimental
team match, open to battalions and
separate organizations of the United
States service and to the regiments
of the national guard. This is a new
match, the trophy for which was pre-
scented by Hon. Frank o. Briggs,
United States senator from New Jer-
sey, and carries with it number of
cash prizes. There will also be the
company team match, Company Tyro
match, Columbia trophy match, car
bine team match, veteran organiZa-
ton team match, Gould Rapid Fire
team match, individual rapid fire
match, all-comers' military match
Hayes match, Gen. E. p. Meany
match, New Jersey State Rifle asso-
citation trophy match, Spencer match
Reading match, Hale match, and a
press and inspectors matches. There
will also be a number of revolver
matches. A new match will be the
one for the Sea Girt championship of
1907 for medal given by the gov
ernor of New Jersey and number of
cash prizes.
Big Cash Prizes.
Altogether there will be several
thousand dollars in cash distributed
as well as the prizes and a large num-
Der of medals. The railroads have
made special rate of one and one
third fare for the round trip to this
match. The Sea Girt range lies be-
tween New York and Philadelphia on
the Atlantic shore, and has long been
popular resort for rifiemen. The

The details for the opening of the
summer school have been completed
and the work promises to be both
entertaining and instructive.
New students are arriving on every
train. Another instructor, Miss M.
G. Ingesoll arrived today from
Santa Barbara, CAL, to take charge
OF the manual training work. The
work of this department is offered
for the first time in a summer school
in Idaho. 1t will be found to be
one of the most attractive depart

learned from a trustworthy source
that in addition to the Japanese

a standard work on engineering.
The blueprint was we'll drawn and
showed much technical skill, but was
not quite completed.

PUBLIC LAND BUSINESS
Interesting Figures Showing
DISMISSAL of Land.

Uncle Sam, in this land district,
has been disposing of his zeal estate
at a rapid rate during the last year.
He has given deeds to land In
Kootenai county aRgregating, since
July 1, 1906 So, ga acres, in shn-
shone, 442,O4; In Bonner, 10, 37l
and In Latah LAP acres or total
OF lit, TAI acres in the land district.
The government still retains an
interest in 2, 1858, 1876 acres of land in
this district of which 1,676, Sl3
acres are unsurveyed and ss1, 3S3
acres surveyed.
The government has received for
these lands, S151, 799.70 of which
919, 525 represent the receipts from
the mineral lands. In other words,
the government received on an aver
age less than $l.30 per acre for all
its lands sold.
Should the government continue to
dispose of It's lands in this district
at the rate It has during the past
year, 1t will require about % years
before It is Iandless.
Another significant fact Is found
in the statement that KooteDai
county disposed of IS much land last
year as the three counties of Shos'
hone, Latah and Bonner.

from Seattle and Chicago. Some
months ago an order was given by
the Inland for $50 cars, their cost
is about $3.50, 900. They were to be
delivered in season for use in trans
porting grain. Almost the entire
order has been delivered to the com.
pany.
1t is doubtful, even with the in
creased equipment, whether the com
pany will have cars enough to move
the immense crop which is predicted
without the aid Of the Great North

The new Spokane & Inland cars
have been put in condition for ser
