GoTCH Is STILL CHAMPION.
DIR. Roller OF Seattle Is Rolled Twice
I'm Succession.

Frank Gotch OF Humbolt, Iowa,
maintained his right to the worlds
catch-as-catch-can wrestling cham
plonship Wednesday night in Seattle
winning two consecutive falls in Is
minutes and 25 seconds, and % min
utes and "a seconds respectively.
The men entered the ring Weighing
close to 200 each. Roller may have
been a pound or two heavier.
They went at 1t like bulls from
the very start and Gotch was soon
forcing matters. He worked his no.
torious toe hold six times IN success
sion in the first bout. Roller broke
away each time but It wore on him
and finally Gotch downed him with
Il crotch and half-nelson.
Roller did better work in the Sec
ond bout, but Gotch was like a ter
rier after a rat and went from hold
to hold with startling rapldity. Roll
er's best work In this round was to
break a crotch and half-Nelson after
seemingly lost. He was finally pick
ed up and dumped to his shoulders
from the same hold. 1t is doubtful If
he was really down but 1t was only
a question of minutes anyway, as he
was at Gotch's mercy.
Eddie Gaffney of Seattle, was ref
cree.

was not more than 5000

COVER EASTERN OREGON
WITH BUGGY AND TEAM
Minneapolis Party Travels 800 Miles
Through Central Oregon Counties
Longest Continuous Trip.

The longest continuous trip made
through oregon in recent years has
Just been completed by II. A. Hunter,
president of the Hunter Land COM
pany of Minneapolis, says the Port
land Journal. With two companions
and a two-hOrse rig they left the ter
minus of the Sumpter Valley railroad
in Grant county and Travelled over
land through Canyon City, and south
through Harney county skirting the
eastern slopes of the Stems mountains
to Catlo valley, where they entered
the old oregon military road and
traversed it to Lakeview, thence
north and west over the Cascade via
Crescent lake, and struck the South
ern Pacific railroad at Eugene.
The trip occupied four weeks, and
the party covered about 500 miles,
250 miles of which was over the old
military road, constructed so years
ago to admit early settlers into oregon
by the southern route. The trip was
made for the purpose of a thorough
examination Of the lands and condi-
tions of interior and southern Ore
gon east of the Cascades. Mr.. Hunt
er came out enthusiastic over the
prosperity of the residents of those
regions and the possibilities for agri-
cultural and Industrial development.
Copious rains fell nearly every day
along the route through Lake and
Harvey counties.
Coming out over the Crescent lake
pass they encountered snow 10 feet
deep, and met frequent parties of
Southern Pacific surveyors with their
pack horses and outfits, resumlng
the surveying of lines of the Oregon
Eastern railroad from Natron to Vale,
Klamath Falls. The trip over the
mountain was made mostly on foot.
Crescent lake is probably the most
beautiful spectacle In all Oregon, the
state of spectacular scenery" Mr..
Hunter said 1.-THE day that we spent
at this lake was warm and pleasant,
and we went in swimming. The wa
ter was cold, but the swim fine and
invigorating. This lake is in form
almost a crescent, and inside the cres-
cent curve Diamond peak. splendid
snow crowned mountain, rises to great
height and is perfectly mirrored in
the lake. On the opposite side Of the
lake ia a long, gently sloping solid
beach. The lake is one Of the most
beautiful have ever beheld.
Country Rapidly Settling.
"over in Lake and Harvey coun-
ties there are many new people COM
ing in and the country is developing.
With the opening and colonization Of
the old Oregon military road land

very bright. met old settlers in

Hartman Lines VIII Advertise Pa
cific Coast States.

William McMurray, general passen-
Oregon returned from Chicago this
morning, after an absence of nearly
a month, says the Portland Telegram.
He was called east to attend the an
nual family gathering" of Hartman
officials. He attended a succession
Of conferences Of the heads Of the
passenger and advertising depart
ments.
The northwest had the strongest
representation at our meetings" said
Mr.. McMurray today, that II ever
had, and assurance was given that
greater campaigns of advertising and
exploitation of our resources out hero
will be made in the future than ever
before. In fact, the affairs of the
northwest, the opportunities for
homeseeking and colonization were
gone into deeply.
"Much, too, was made of the de-
llghtful summer resorts in this terri
tory, and plans are now being de-
vised for attracting a greater vol
ume of tourists from the east than
in any former year.
$50 many things have happened
in the northwest of late to win atten-
tion from railroad men in the east
that no opportunity will be overlook
ed to bring Portland and Oregon TO
the front in the future.
The reports OF the success OF the
Rose Festival impressed the railroad
officials with the importance OF CIV
ing this fete greater publicity through
the literature sent out by the Harri-
man lines, and l can safely say that
the railroads will do great deal
more to assist the next years cele-
bration than was done this year.

EVERYBODY'S LOOKING

And It's Worth the Trouble, Too,
for THE EVENING STAR
Will Reward Finder.

All North Jersey Is on a search for the
elusive and mysteriously missing penny
worth $40 in gold when presented at
the office of THE EVENING STAR.
Not alone in this city is the search be-
ing continued by thousands with I'M
abating yigor, but reports from the
suburbs, Hoboken, Jersey City. Pat
erson, Passaic. Elizabeth and other
towns show that the people in those
places are hopeful the $40 penny may
fall into hands other than a denizen
of Newark.
And such a belief is well founded.
For example, the penny with its six
distinctive marks now in circulation
may have been given in change by
some careless newsboy to a million
aire. He in turn may have put 1t out
with four other pennies in the purchase
of d trolley car fare. The conductor
who received the five pennies may
have forgotten to abstract the $50 penny
from its four mates and passed 1t to
some i~nsuspecting woman passenger.

the butcher, the baker, the grocery

One thing is certain: That penny is
either skipping about nimbly or lyinG
in the pocket of some careless person
who hasn't gumption enough to look
his pennies in the face. OF course, ii
its present possessor does not care a
rap about buying $50 worth of anything
from a new Easter bonnet to a season
baseball ticket, all right, but that per-
son is as one in 10, 900 to the eager host
who are examining every penny they

has never before been duplicated in
this city. OF course that shining golden

LOUIS FAST WINS
PRIZE FOR KEARNY
HOMESTEAD STORY
Fourteen-year-oId High School
Pupils Tale Best of Many
Good Ones.

Louis A. Fast, of AZ Jones street,
Newark. is the winner of the S. prize
offered in Mondays EVENING STAR
for the best story of the history ef
the old Kearny homestead on Belleville
venue. The prize-winning letter is
printed below.
Louis is IA years old, and is now
a pupil il the High School. His story
was selected from hundreds of good
stories which schoolboys of, Newark
had sem in. This is the history of the
homestead as Louis tells it:
probably 200 years have passed
since the work of building the
Kearny homestead was first begun.
Their is no date on any record
which can show when the first
work was done or when the home
stead was completed. but historians
place its beginning at about 200
years ago.
1.-THE homestead is situated in the
Eighth Ward, Oh Belleville and
Third avenues. The original house
is believed to have been built by
members of tine Watts family.
Lady Mary Watts lived there about
a century ago The property was
acquired by the father Of General
Philip Kearny, and 1t vas in this
house that the great New Jersey
general spent most of his carly
life. The property is now in the
hands of the Kearny family, Ma
dame de T%ocquevillc, of Paris,
being the owner.
Several years ago citizens of
the Eighth Ward suggested the
purchase of the property to be
used as a park. Many property
wners. however, opposed the
movement, saying that the assess
ment would be too heavy, and the
agitation was dropped. The prop
erty is now in the hands of a
caretaker."
In Mondays EVENING STAR the
winner of the old St%oudinger residence
story will be announced. Tuesday,
THE EVENING STAR will print the
name of the winner of the story of the
