BIG RELAY RACE FOR FAIR
GENEROUS PURSE WILL ATTRACT
LARGE NUMBER OF GOOD
RIDERS.

A relay race for 20 miles with a
change of horses every half mile is to
be one of the principal drawing cards
of the week at the county fair this
fall Arrangements are being made to
make this race more interesting than
usual and with this object in view
the purse has been raised to $1,000.
cent, the next three i'll place getting
rs, Is and 10 per cent respectively.
This race will be run in divisions
so that it will occupy the entire six
days of the fair. ThOroughbreds and
professional horses will have no
place in this race and for this reason
it should be particularly interesting.
Lady riders will not be allowed to en-
ter this race, the fun and glory being
reserved for the sterner sex Saddles
will be changed with the mounts every
half mile and the regular western sad
dies must be used. Each contestant
will be allowed help to the extent of
man to hold his horse and bride
while the exchange of saddles is being
made. The stakes are liberal and it is
expected the offer will draw some of
the best amateur riders and native
horses in the country. Always excit-
ing, this race for the meet this year
will be doubly so and can be counted
Oh to be one of the principal drawing
cards of the whole fair.
Every horse entering the relay must
be named and described before the
race begins and only in case of an ac-
cident will a change be allowed and
then only at the discretion of the
judges. Six must enter the race and
four will be allowed to start, the rid
er making the best total time for the
20 miles during the whole six of the
days, will be adjudged the winner. The
race begins on the opening of the fair.

SCHWARz STILL
AFTER COUNCIL
EMPLOYS ATTORNEY TO PRESENT
CASE TO CITY dads" TO
SECURE REFUND.

Attorney Lester Wilson appeared
before the city council last evening In
behalf of A. Schwarz for the purpose
of securing for Mr.. Schwarz the uh-
earned portion of his license which
was revoked last May.
The attorney sought to show thai
Schwarzs transgress1on was slight i'll
the extreme and that it was the re-
suit of a deep laid plot on the idr'
of a saloon keeper by the name OF
Henry Van Buren, who formerly con-
Quoted a saloon at ia w. Main. III
addressing the council, Attorney VIII
son said:
"Mr. Schwarz asked me to appear
before the council this evening and
explain some facts relative to the case
which resulted in his losing his Ii
cense.
1T resulted from a suit in ejectment
which Mr. Schwarz brought against
Henry Van Buren,, West Main street
saloon keeper, in behalf of the Stahl
Brewing company which owned the
building Van Buren, occupied. This
was accomplished by the suit Schwarz
brought.
From that time on Van Buren,
seemed to think of nothing save do
ing Schwarz some injury. He used to
come into my office and talk of what
he would like to do. to get even with
hn1 To throw
out. He frequently said he would spend
his last nickle to put Schwarz out of
business.
After making such threats for a
year. he, with his bartender, Carter,
went to the Fountain saloon one Sum-
day. They found the doors properly
locked, but after repeated knocking,
the door was opened and they entered.
Mr.. Schwarz, however, was the only
one in the saloon. Carter pretended to
have some business with Schwarz about
renting a house on Rose street. Van
Buren, then bought a glass of beer and
treated once.
1.-THE next day Van Buren, complained
of Schwarz selling liquor and suit was
started which resulted in the revo-
cation of his license for the Fountain
saloon
1T looks to me that in view of
Schwarz being caught in such man
ner and by such a man he should not
have had his license taken away"
Mr.. Wilson then referred to testi-
mony of Van Buren, at the trial to
substantiate his remarks, saying also

WANT SALARIES RAISED.
County Officials Would Like to Hav'
More Money.

''The officials of Walla Walla county
are the poorest paid in the United
States remarked prominent Walla
Walla county official this morning.
I'VE have a population according to
the United States census which would
rank us as sixth class and we are still
rated as tenth class and receiving sal
aries accordingly. The government
census gives the county a population
of $4,000 and only $4,000 is needed to
raise our rating 1t is up to the county
commissioners to establish our correct
rating.
LAS to the county census, 1T has
about two-thirds of the full popula-
ton. Around Prescott 1 can show you
within radius of a mile 20 men, per-
manent residents, who were not num-
bered in the late census.
Were the county given it's true rat
ing. and the salaries established ac-
cordingly, it would mean raise of
from $500 to $500 per year for large
number of county employees. The
trouble with the salaries is that they
were established during the hard times
when living was much cheaper than it
is now and have not been changed
SINCE

The mayor objected strongly to the
partnership phrase used by the at
torney. The latter, however, repeated

flied it with the adjective "involun-
tary."
City Attorney Cain was instructed
to prepare a written opinion in the
matter to be read at the councfPs

1.-The future Of that great country
cannot be overestimated. Its posi-
bilities are unlimited. But l would
not advise anyone to go there. If a
man goes it should be of his own free

every man stands alone. Profits are
enormous and wages are big. But !

there with the intention of buying in

Coloredo Springs Sunday night says:
Fighting Bob Evans, who sails to-
morrow In command of the Pacific
bound fleet, will, according to his pres
ent plans. visit Colorado Springs after
the completion of the cruise around
the Horn. He will come here to visit
his sister, Mrs. B. Zevely of % East
Columbia street.
Rear Admiral Evans will retire as
vice admiral in August after having
completed the long cruise. He will be
met by his wife in San Francisco and,
according to letter received by his
sister few days ago in which he out
lined his plans, he expects to return
overland to his home in Washington.
He has promised Mrs. Hevely to stop
In Colorado Springs for visit II pos
sible. This will bring him here early
in September.
Admiral Evans has been West only
once before and that was on flying
trip in 1901 when he was detailed to
act as one of the judges in court
martial at San Francisco. He passed
through Denver at that time. but did
not come to Colorado Springs. Mrs.
Zevely went to Denver to meet him.

tiroment, which will come in August.
He will then be in San Francisco,
where he will be met by his wife and

land to their home In Washington. Wis

There have been a great many
stories as TO how Roblcy got his
name" said Mrs. zevely. 1T has been
said that II dates back 10 his school
days at Annapolis and also that It was
due TO various incidents in his later
naval life. but the episode which really
gave him the name Fighting Bob
occurred In Chile about fourteen years
ago. At that time he was sent TO

time OF an insurrection and there had
been some trouble with tho marines
Word was sent to him by the Chilean
government that he would have to sail

ately sent back word in rather forcible
language that he would remain whore
