Popular Railroad Commissioner Saws

Oswald West, state railroad com

people have to offer. He has, however
round few complaints in Southern

Just before leaving Salem, Mr.. West
announced that he will not be a can

Anonymous Contributions.

A thousand times we have said that
was the last time we were going to
say it. But we will say it once more:
The Observer does not publish un-
signed communications. Neither does
any other reputable newspaper in the
United States, for that matter. We are
willing to Withhold the name of
the writer from publication when re-
quested, but it must be there, if the
would entertain any
hope of seeing his contribution in

der of pianos from the factory, the
firm of Wenger & Cherrington, Salem's
leading music house, is now in the
midst of an extraordinary sale of a
stock of 100 elegant. instruments of
standard makes at such scale of un-
precedented prices and terms as to re-
duce the sale to a practical GIFT
GIVING EVENT.
There are two prime objects to be
gained as a result of this sale-Profit-
Making being entirely out of the
question and these are: First-By

ments at such heretofore-unheard of
prices 100 households have been made
immeasurably happy and their inmates
thereby become the everlasting
friends of their benefactors (Wenger
& Cherrington); and, second, to ascer-
tain the best medium of advertising.
To determine this later object an

in each issue of the daily papers of
Salem and it is only necessary to cut
out one of these certificates, subscribe
your name and present same at the
store Of Wenger & Cherrington, Sa-
lem, select your piano, and this GER

SUNDAY S RAGING
Shriver's Horse Wins the
500 Purse---Jennings
Wins Plug Race
FOOT RACE A DISAPPOINTMENT
Williams Declared Winner Tho
He Should Have Forfeited
Race Under the Rule

A fair-sized crowd was in attend
ance at the races that were held Sun
day afternoon at the fair grounds
The horse races were very inter
esting, especially the one-fourth
mile for the $l00 purse. There
were five entries for this race
When the gong announced the start
the three leaders were punched to-
gether and coming into the stretch
it was nip and tuck, real horse
race. Shriver's sorrel horse finally
winning in drive, Epley's brown
mare May second and Hansen's bay
gelding Lucifer third.
The one-half mile plug race re-
suited in first money being divided
between Arthur Jenning and Ben
Bingham, their entries coming to
the wire even, while young John
got third money.
The foot race was great disap-
pointment to every one present.
When the sprinters, Estes and Will
Jams, appeared in their running
togs, all eyes were centered on the
track.
Sheriff Anderson, who had been
selected as starter, stood back of
the line as the sprints got set. Just
as he was about to pull the trigger,
Williams started like a flash, beating
the report. Anderson called him
back, and should have made him come
back Of the line yard as penalty
for starting before the signal. Will
Jams had to be called back second
time for the same reason, but was
not made either time to lose his
distance from front of line.
On the third trial Williams again
started off, not waiting for the re-
port of the pistol. Estes asked
Sheriff Anderson if he was going to
call Williams back, and the sheriff
answered, no. Estes then turned
away.
Williams logged the distance and
was given the decision, although in
the opinion of those near the track
and able to see the start, he was
clearly in the wrong and should
have been made to come back of
the line for false starting.
The rules are very clear on races
of this kind, and inflicts the penalty
for false starts that practically
places a handicap on the runner so
offending.
The result of the race was any
thing but satisfactory, in fact was
no race at all.
After the race Williams hackers
were challenged for the same race
for $250.00 side. providing that
the race should be run under rules,
that is, every time a runner crosses
the line before the signal, he is
called back and placed one yard be-
hind his opponent, as penalty for
fouling. The challenge has not
been accented.

ESTABLISH COLONY
The Davidson Ranch, Near
Tucson, To Be Settled
by Mormon Farmers
THEY BUILD UP THE COUNTRY
BY Clearing Land and Making
a Success in Agriculture
and Farm Pursuits

"One of the most important moves
recently undertaken in the Tucson
country, in my opinion, is the es-
tablishment of the Mormon Colony
on what is known as the Davidson
ranch, eight miles from Tucson,
said a well known business man to
to Star reporter recently.
Continuing he said: i am not a
Mormon, but it is an established
fact that they are a good substan-
tial lot of citizens, who know how
to farm and build up the agricultur-
al interests of country. No one
can doubt this who has ever paid a
visit to Utah. And it is upon our
agricultural interests that we must
depend largely for our support
in the future. l mean by that that
our agricultural interests will serve
in a measure to build up our varied
other interests, including even min
ing; for miners as we'll as other peo-
pile must eat. By giving them the
full dinner pail right at home who
can conceive Of a better method of
inducing them to come here, locate
here and develop the richness of the
Tucson country"
AS has already mentioned in The
Star, the Davidson ranch was re-
Gently sold to parties, now known to
be representing the Mormon Church,
for the purpose of establishing a
Mormon colony here. The Church
is understood to be backing the prop
osition financially. The price paid
for the 1000 acres included in the
purchase was $4,000. Water in
abundance is obtainable on the land
and the new owners possess valuable
ditch rights. Some of the adjacent
is also owned by Mormons,
and in the course of time it is ex-
pected to build up, a large and
flourishing colony.-Tucson Star.
