Classification and Valuation,
The classification and valuation Of

occurs below surface or distance from
outcrop. According TO the law, the gen

coal land may be stated as follows;
A. Coal land within fifteen miles Of
a railroad in actual operation or under
construction.
b. Coal land more thin fifteen miles
from railroad
BY The terms of n scheme of classi-
fication and valuation approved by the
secretary of the interior April 10, 1908,

Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-28

IN HE board of stewards of the Los
Angeles Racing association will
II meet at Santa Anita at 10 o'clock
this morning to hear evidence of both
sides to the Carman-Dooley controversy
and afterward will render its decision.
Just what this decision will be cannot
be forecasted, owing to the politics"
involved but the general public has
no interest in the affair beyond its
desire to see fair play melted out to
both men. 1t is not doubted for a
moment that the stewards will hear
the evidence, weigh 1t impartially and
render a decision that will fully meet
the exigencies of the occasion. 1t Is
one of those unfortunate affairs that
do not amount to anything, yet 1t has
been stirred up by one of the parties
to the controversy rushing into print
and airing his "side" of the case and
calling attention to the affair that 9TH
erwise would have escaped attention
and would have been forgotten long
ago. Fortunately for the turf, there
is no scandal involved and none is Inn
minent. 1t merely is a petty quarrel
between the men and the stewards will
hear the case with view TO Furnishing
the offender in the fight. The evidence
can only show one thing-that Dooley
went to the Carman barn and engaged
In the fight after the quarrel at the
grandstand and Immediately after
Carman and his family had arrived at
the barns on their way to their home
in Pasadena. With i'll feeling existing
between them as a result of the runup
of Fleming, the horse that had won
for Carman, by Dooley. who had re-
signed as trainer a few hours pre-
viously, it hardly seemed to be the
wise or proper thing for Dooley to
follow Carman to the stables, and while
he was severely beaten after arriving
there and had no chance to win a
fight in the circumstances he hardly
placed himself on the basis of an in
jured and wronged man seeking equity
when he tried for revenge via the
board of stewards route The board
will be governed by the rules and laws
laid down by the Pacific Jockey club
regarding fights and disturbances on
the grounds by horsemen. 1t is under
stood that one of the charges is that
the quarrel and fight was a method
of intimidation to prevent Dooley from
running up Fleming, but as the events
of which he complains occurred after
the runup this charge hardly will be
susceptible of proof. The whole affair
is regrettable, as it will do nobody any
good, but once more the association
must bear it's share Of whatever con-
sequences are resultant. Had the track
management not dignified the affair by
peremptorily scratching all the Carman
horses entered in the races next day
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-28

and ordered his future entry refused
until the case was settled-a most UNI
usual proceeding in such trivial mat
ter-and had ignored, instead OF per-
mitted, charges and counter charges 70
be filed the judges could have settled
it all by plastering fines upon both
men for their indiScretions and all
would have been forgotten history long
ago. It is to be hoped that the board
will consider the welfare of the turf.
as well as individual interests, and
that the whole affair win be wound up
and ended without further delay. Fur
nishing racy food for gossip of an I'M
favorable nature initiates against the
best interests of the turf, and there
are troubles enough on hand in the
next ninety days without voluntarily
creating further trouble by making a
mountain out of a molehill. The affair
has been too much digni1ed already.
Durand-You win. Sam McVey and
Denver Ed Martin fought before the
National Athletic club at San Diego
about two and a half years ago and
McVey knocked out Martin in the
fourth round. 1t was a whirlwind fight,
with honors about even, until McVey
got over right swing to point of chin
and put Martin down and out.
Chapultepec, which beat Meelick so
easily in their only out this season and
in world record time for five and a
half furlongs, is a much better horse
than his race Saturday indicates on
the surface. Many horsemen who have
classy horses that must hook up with
Chapultepec in stakes and handicaps
during the season caught the time as
much faster than the official figures
hung out which would make a new
world record performance, only for the
fact that the official time made 1t 1:0s
The question now is, what could Cha
pultepec do after he has had race
or two In him? The fact that Chapul-
tepec likes a route also indicates that
he will be- a hard nut to crack In the
handicaps and stake events to which
he is eligible, and 1t almost is assured
that he will go in all of them unless
Handicapped Smith packs him with too
heavy an impost. Meelick also gave
the lie to the persistent reports that
he is out of condition and lacking in
the form that made him the leading
3-year-old of the late winter months.
Had he left the barrier on equal terms
with Chapultepec it is not drawing too
much on imagination to believe that
he would have given the Brandt racer
a much tougher argument, at least.
The showing of the pair adds two
crackerjack performers to the handi.
cap division at Santa Anita.

knew that Mollie Montrose outclassed
her field in the last race Saturday re-
fused to bet on her because they feared
she was not ready at first start. When
she won easily, after running away half
a mile, those who thought they knew
something about horse racing tore their
hair for letting a cinch win unplayed

White came together again. The Mar

done with a broken steering knuckle.

seen coming in from the ocean and

Within five minutes the back stretch

moisture. Both the White and the
Stearns were forced to slow down and

Dundee was credited with doing the
right thing by leaving the track, as the
