Mart Lynch has not been seen
around the track very much lately, he
being detained on account of the ILL
ness of a brother that has been on
the sick list for the past three weeks,
although the members of his stable
are being logged daily on the track
by an assistant. Cleopatra, 2:19 IA,
with a trial to her credit of 2:12, looks
to be about ready for some faster

the part of good trotter. Another
member that is attracting considera-
BILE attention among the followers Of
the game is the beautiful bay pacing
filly, IdleWeis, the property OF Berry
Goldson, of this city. 1t is said by the
best authority at the track that she
has on several different occasions
shown her ability to pace 200 clip.
Idleweis is by Del Norte, 2:08, and Mr..
Lynch, her trainer, is expecting great
things of her.

the city for more than two weeks,
and surely will be well pleased with
the prep his horses have been get

His name is Prince AXWorthy, b. c.,

colt was no doubt cream of his flock,
big ly-looking fellow that ap-
peared to be of the gilt-edged variety,
he was natural born trotter and

friends and acquaintance throughout

best horse owners on the Pacific

country. that the good sire, O'clock,
2:05 IA, is coming and it will not be
later than the middle of May. McKin-
ney, his sire, 2:11 IA, did remarkable
things His family has become one of
The very greatest in the land, in the
matter of harness speed production.
He has left the orange country and
gone, but the onward flow of his
greatness is yearly increased by his
resultant generations. His sons, his
daughters, and his grandsons, and
granddaughter, also, do remarkable
things, year after year. In 1908, jose
Dhine, by O'clock, was the champion f.
year-old PAGER of the harness world,
meeting and defeating all corners and
closing the season with winning
race record of 2:07 IA

Season and Get in Tor Coming
One.

H. d. Emery, OF Omaha, Nebraska,
is endeavoring to organize profession
al baseball team IN North Yakima
with view of ultimately Getting into
the Northwest league. According to
Mr.. Emery his plan is to secure games
with a team of this city and other
large places in the northwest outside
Of the league for this season with the
idea that this year will show what a
salaried team can do and pave the way
toward getting into the Northwest
Ieague next year. Local sports who
have heard of Mr.. Emery's plan are in
cEned to doubt it's feasibility even
though the teame were organized in
this city and North Yakima, for the
reason that the Northwest league man
ayers would be inclined to frown down
any plan that might increase the pres
emit size Of the league and thereby
make it an unwieldy and losing prop
osition. 1t might be possible for one
otner city in this section to enter the
northwest league under present con-
oiions but the entering of more than
one would undoubtedly be objected 10.

The importations of hcsi-ry and

would rob the American public of
the little competition that they now
have in the manufacture of above

healthy safeguard to keep prices on
such goois as are produced in
America withiA reason. We do not
advocate-we do not want a change
