Clever Coup With amcoe.

The Texans slipped over rod in pickle
in the days opener in Simcoe, owned by
]. II. Madigan. On past performances
Brougham seemed to stand out, but on
account of the presence Of little Flynn in
the saddle the layers took exceptional
liberties. Intervene, with Notter up. also
came in for considerable play. Simcoe. q
wild horse. today came to the front with
the rise Of the barrier. and made every
post a winning one, being one length be-
fore Intervene at the end. The latter was
hard ridden all the way. Alice outlasted
Brougham. The latter received a miser-
able ride.
The Texans followed up their clever
coup with Simcoe by putting The Bear
over in the second. The latter, with Not
ter up. always ruled the choice, closing
at to 1. Toyboy, another Texas speed
marvel, was the second choice, with Frank
Lord. the rank outsider.
When the break came Toyboy rushed to
the 'front.' badly interfering with The Bear
and Ben Strong. The latter was practi-
cally thrown out Of all contention after
the interference. Frank Lord raced down
Toyboy and appeared the probable win-
ner, but under careful nursing tactics Not
ter brought The Bear along to win by q
neck. Frank Lord was second. length
and a half before Toyboy.

spent and the dyking is still incom-
plete and the county has been asked
TO assist. The county road is threat
ened in two places near Freewater

being made from residents of the vi

complete the work, but 1t is feared

urged to contribute to the good
cause.
At time of going to press the court

COMPANY |
IS INSPECTED
LAST ONE BEFORE
AMERICAN LAKE TRIP.
Few Vacancies TO BE Filled Before LO-
cal Organization Leaves for the Big
Event OF Year-Splendid Outing and
Chance for Real Military Training.

Company L was out for quarterly
inspection last night and though the
attendance was cut down by the fact
that many of the men were at work in
the country. yet a good showing was
made. The inspection was by the
company officers and was brief.
The encampment at American Lake
is now but a month distant and active
preparations for that occasion are now
being made. Many recruits have been
taken in recently and there are still a
few vacancies to be filled. Young men
of the proper age, character and
physical set-up desiring to join may
do so by consulting Dan P. Smythe,
commanding officer, or some other
member of the company. New men
are elected by the company by secret
ballot
4 Splendid Outing.
The encampment at American Lake
promises to be a splendid outing for
members of the company and it will
be far ahead of the camp at Seaside
last summer though the latter was
pleasant. The company will be en-
camped with over 5000 troops, con-
sisting of several regiments of regu-
lars and the guards of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and other western
states. The principal point of ad-
vantage over the camp at Seaside will
lie in the greater body of troops as
sembled.
All guardsmena attending encamp-
ment receive pay therefor, officers re-
ceiving the regular pay of U. S. army
officers, privates S1.25 per day and
on-commissioned officers higher pay
in accordance with their rank. Trans
portation, equipment, fare, etc., are
provided by the government for all
enlisted men and as result the men
are able to have a good outing with
out cost.

ICE CREAM IN AFRICA.
New Industry for Negro Colony in
Liberia.

Consul-General Ernest Lyon re-
ports that new industry in the form
OF an ice-cream mandatory has
been started in Monrovia under the
proprietorship of one OF the attaches
to the Liberian commission now vis-
iting the United States, concerning
which he says:
The machine is of American manu-.
facture, from the New Brunswick Re-
frigerator company. and has a capa-
city of one ton. 1t turns out 500
pounds of ice and 10 gallons of ice
cream daily. 1t is principally an ice
cream machine, but ice is such a
rarity that the protector decided to
experiment in Its manufacture. This
is the first effort Of Its kind in Lii
IBERIA, and the demand for ice, espe-
cially for fever-stricken subjects, in
fluenced the experiment.
The manager declares that the re-
suit has been encouraging and will
lead to the ultimate enlargement 0f
the plant with a cold storage atach-
cd. This enterprise has filled long
felt need In Monrovla, especially
among the invalids OF foreign birth
The price Of ice at present is four
cents per pound and the price OF ice
cream is s2.40 per gallon. Under the
this luxury is such a
treat in this tropical region that no
body ever stops to consider the price.
