sold this mare to Johnson in the spring
of 1908 for a long price. She vas raced
successfully over the half-mile tracks,
taking O record of 2:17h at the Dongan
Hills meeting Of 1908. Her first of
nine start during the season of 1908
was at Islip. L. l., on July 8, where she
won a flve-heat race. Her next start
was at Walden. n. Y, where she won
second money in a three-heat race,
finishing '2. ., ." She was then sem
to Ellenville, n. ". where. she was
placed third In a three-heat event. Her
next start was at Dongan Hills, where
che won a six-heat event and took her
record OF 2:17k. She was started again
at the same meeting two days later
and won second money in a three-heat
race, after which she was shipped to
Riverhead, where she won third money
in a Ave heat event, making her third
hard race In seven days. Her next
start was at Middletown. N. ". where
she won in straight heats. The mare
was then shipped to Danbury, Conn.,,

New York. Dec. 2s.-Under the
caption Department of Interior ver-
sus the People," Golfers Weekly for
January /, 1910, will allege that the
interior department is working against
the policy of conservation as enen-
getically as possible. The article calls
attention to how much cheaper land
reclaimed by the government is than
that reclaimed by private projects.
Referring to the proposed congress
sional investigation of the depart
ment of the interior, Golfers will say:
Observe the makeup of the invesi-
eating committee from the house and
senate with the closest scrutiny. The
shrewdest politicians are working.
- committee which honestly will at
tempt to get proof will be none too
easy to obtain"
A more serious charge is that the
interior department is resorting to
trickery to defeat the government in
suits now being conducted over the
Cunningham claims upon coal land
in Alaska. 1t is claimed that while
lAt SuppoSSo puipOSS VA siSSS HCdi
ings is to defend the public domain.
that the attorneys for the claimants
are urging the case. This comedy is
being arranged for innocent specta-
tors. says the article. what actu1
ally confronted the department was
how it could lose suits without ex-
posure a rather clever scheme agreed
upon was to send an honest but in
credibly ignorant youth to represent
the government. The interior de-
partment selected q man named
Sheridan. It carefully decorated his
records with tributes of his genius
Actually he had one years experience
as a subordinate special agent in

law school in 1907. The old agents
are familiar with the cases. CLAWS

carefully been sent to distant points.
