SHEEPSHEAD RACE

New York, Aug. s1.-Held so hard
that his head lay almost in his riders
lap, yet maintaining his graceful long
stride, James R. Keene's Sweep, a son
OF Brush- Pink domino, won the twenty
second running of the futurity at
Sheepshead Bay today.
Five lengths back, ridden out with
whip and heel to beat Sweeps stable
mate, Crassmore. short length for
the place, staggered the tired Mont
pelier stables candidate Candleberry,
also son of the sire of Sweep. An
gerona, add added starter was a fairly
good fourth, but the other contestants
were beaten off and well strung out
over furlong. The time for the six
furlongs was ISL AS. Sweeps share

money that the layers were forced to
cut the price until at post time 9 to
10 was the best price in sight.
Many of them rubbed the entry Off
their programme completely. Candle
berry was well played at to 1, but
his price nevertheless, had risen to
at the close with s to 5 that he would
not run second. Barley Tnrope and
Rocky O'Brien also had hosts of ad-
mirers.
Arrived at the barrier Sweep by his
unruliness delayed the start ten min
utes.
Sweep was OF on his tip toes close
" followed by Barley Thorpe, Gras-
mere, Nilitine and General Armstrong.
There was a good deal of crowding,
however, and Sweep fell back behind
Grasmere and Barley Thrope into
third position.
AT the quarter, Grasmere still was
leading and Barley Thrope was at his
withers and coming fast. Butwell on

for ButweH put his charge under wraps
and simply galloped home.

HOW PIFER FIRM
RAISES POTATOES
BEGAN FIRST IN 1905 AND NOW
HAS A POTATO FARM THAT IS
MODEL OF ITs KIND.

Grand Forks. n D. Aug. sis--That
the Red river valley is destined to be-
come one Of the great potato growing
sections OF the country Ia the opinion
Of many OF those who hav estudied
conditions here from a scientific point.
But the honor OF the discoverey that
potatoes can be raised in large quantI-
ties to profit here belongs to Mayor
Pifer, OF LarImore, who started on a
big scale in 1906. The following from
the Larimore Pioneer tells how Mr..
Pifer has built up his potato farm:
There is considerable talk, not only
in this state, but throughout the en-
tire country, regarding the speciality
Of the potato industry that had Its
incipiency in the fertile minds of some
of the Grand Forks county farmers
and was brought, after much thought
and work to the mature state which
now makes this vicinity one of the
best, successful and most favorably
known potato sections of the entire
world. ! win cite but one notable ex-
ample, that of J. III. Fifer & Co. In
1905 Mr.. Pifer first began by plant
ing fifty three acres OF potatoes. which
was such o financial success that he
followed It the next year by putting
In 225 acres and harvesting a larger
yield. Mr.. Piper soon realized the
necessity OF having a place to store
his crop after he had raised 1t. built a
warehouse near the railroad which he
considered a model In construction
and convenience, 1t is 4Ox10O feet,
with 12-foot basement, the floor be-
ing OF concrete six inches thick. This
place he filed with labor saving ma
chineTy. Soon after this firm Of ]. II.
Pifer a. Company was organized and
they have now cohtrol Of about $500
acres OF potatoes. which they must
handle and store: for that reason they
are now erecting another building
with o two-story structure 70xl4O feet
and contains three or four bins.
The first story or the basement will
be IL feet high, walled and floored
with cement 4 inches in thickness. The
second story is SO built that the po-
tatoes will he kept below freezing
point even during the coIdest winter
weather. All work win be done by
machinery Among the machinery the
building will contain is a tramway
built in sections with an endless car
rier on each section and will run from
one end Of the building to the other,
II will be so arranged that II can run
into either floor.
When hauling from the field the
potatoes will be dumped into a pit and
taken by the carrier to the sorters,
from which place the different sizes
will be run in their separate bins. In
other words Mr.. Pifer waves the magic
wand and says TO the potatoes, take
your respective places" and behold it
Ia done.

CHURCH ROOTS
AGAINST PIRATES

Pfttsburg, Aug. 31.-The Church Of
the Disciples, which WI hold con-
vention in Pittsburg, Oct 11-19 next,
to which $4,000 delegates have been
elected, bids fair TO be somewhat en-
barrassed If Pittsburg should win the
pennant in the National league, since
Forbes field has already been secured
for most OF the convention work
which will be done under canvas A
post season series at this time would
necessitate a wholesale change in
plans and there is already much con-
Germ NOT to say pulling against Pitts
burg by the church people.
Those in charge of the affair frankly
admit they don't know what they will
do in case of Pittsburg winning, for
among other things they have ar
ranged for a communion in the grand
stand with which $4,000 people are
expected to be seated.
