The government is selling 267, 900, 600
board feet of timber in the Priest
River Valley of the Kaniksu National
forest, Idaho. This sale differs from
most of those made by the government
in handling its national forest timber
business. Not merely the ripe timber
will be sold to make room for new
crop, but on part of the area the pur-
chaser will be expected to take every
thing in sight, after the time-honored
fashion of most numbering that is done
on private lands. In short, the forest
will be destroyed.

We notice by copy of THE Horse

C. c. Stillman of New York City is
transferring his Morgan breeding stud
from Lyndonvile, VT, to Cornwall-on'

of Donald, 1924, son of Bob Morgan,

Comet, $50; 4th dam by Royal Morgan,

Donald is we'll bred and will doubtless

We notice in the same issue of the
above journal a letter on the Early
History of George Wilkes. The writer
very wisely does not attempt to give
the breeding of the dam, Dolly Spanker.
In the Trotting Register we find her
given by Henry Clay. Of course most
horsemen know that there is no truth to
this Henry Clay pedigree.
We quote a few lines from The
American Stallion Register, Vol. ii,
page 568: There would appear to be
but little if any reason to doubt that
the Dolly Spanker sold by j. S. Lewis
to Mr.. Delevan about 1852, was the
mare afterwards owned by Harry Eel
ter, sent to his father at Newburg, N.
Y, and by him bred to Hambletonian,
producing George Wilkes. This mare
was purchased in the woods in Penn
sylvania, as represented by Mr.. Gilbert,
about 1850, then about six years old,
and died in 1856" While nothing is
absolutely known about her breeding
yet remark by Col. w. l.. Summon S,
the owner of George Wilkes, is worthy
of note. He said to correspondent of
the Chicago Horseman: "She might
have been by Mambrino Chief, as he
stood in the locality where she was, but
was more after the Morgan type. "
This last suggestion of Col Simmons
may not be far from the truth. Sepou's
Morgan Tiger was brought from SYRIA
cuse, N Y, to Meadville, Penn, round
about 1850. 1t was between Meadville
and Erie that Dolly Spanker was pur-
chased. Other Morgan stations were
owned in this and nearby regions before
this time, so Dolly Spanker had a per
feet right to be of Morgan blood.

Mike Gibbons and Kelly Battle in
Kenosha Ring Tonight.

Attendance at the Mike Gibbons
Spike Kelly fight in Kenosha tonight
is liable to be light because OF the
present baseball fuore, but those fans
who Journey to the Wisconsin city
will see a show well worth the trip.
Gibbons is a star of the Welter-
weight class, but has been forced to
meet middleweights because OF the
scarcity of men in his own division
who will give him fight. He has it
on Kelly In cleverness and general
ship in the ring and also packs
damaging punch.
Kelly has one chance! That is to
bore in with his fail like punches and
land lucky one. He has haymaker,
but will find Gibbons difficult man
to plant it on. Spike will have the
advantage of Eddie McGoorty's adj
vice in his corner. The Oshkosh man
has fought Gibbons several times and
knows his style.
There should be no staIIing about
the mill. Both men are game and
willing to swap punches.
A special train will leave here over
the Northwestern at 6:45 O'Clock, re-
turning directly after the main event

New York Giants, 8; Athletics, 0.
Pittsburgh, 4; Cleveland, 8 az in.).


Forty-two years ago today Mrs.
O'Leary's well-known- COW kicked
over a now celebrated lamp on the
West Side, and a confagration was
started that swept through Chicago
until it burned itself out for lack of
more territory to attack.
A little over tWenty-four hours ago
John Collins caught one Of Larry
Cheney's choice shoots on the end of
his bat and kicked the ball far into
left field for triple, scoring Chase
and Bodie, who were n,base.
: And with that blow the heartburn
ing that swept through the West Side
dwarfed the historic town burning.
= Before the game the man who
would have bet Collins would make
that triple on a curve ball would have
been dumped in a clayhole and de-
odorized. Shane is VIGOROUSLY weak
on the hooks. But he connected this
once and the stuff was off. Later in
the game he famed on the same kind
of pitch.
Strange as it may sound, the Cubs
out batted their opponents, but at the
same time were outpitched. Evers'
men collected a dozen hits for 81
bases. The Sox got II safeties for Is
sacks.
But in the earlier portions of the
game, when hits meant runs for the
Cubs, Reb Russell, southpaw extra
ordinary, was out there on the hill
brushing away the Cub batters. In
the first inning Leach and Evers poled
singles. Then the Rebel famed Zim
and Schultz.
caIlahan's men got the jump that
naturally goes to the winner of the
first game, but they did not outclass

REDS CHILDREN
LEFT OUT IN WILL
Ambassadors Entire Estate Left to
Widow.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE entire
estate of the late Whitlaw Reid, am
bassador to Great Britain, is left un-
conditionally to his widow, Mrs.
Elizabeth Mills Reid, with the ex-
ception of specific requests totalling
$4,000. The will was made pub
lie yesterday. Not a penny was left
outright to his son, Ogden Mills
Reid, or his daughter, Jean Temple
ton Reid, now Mrs. Hubert Ward,
although 1t was indicated plainly
that the late ambassador wished
them provided for literally and
equally by their mother. The value
of the estate is estimated at from
100000 to $20,000,000.
The entire estate is placed In the
hands of Mrs Reid without hind
rance or suggestion except that the
late ambassador expressed wish
that should his son Ogden display
capacity and aptitude for the work. "
he ultimately should succeed to the
control of the Tribune. Ogden Reid
was boy in knickerbockers when
the will was WI ktten. in 1894.

lie service commission so declared
yesterday after a careful investiga-
ton.
.'The primary cause Of the
wreck" reads the commissions re-
port, twas the entire failure of En-
gineer Schroeder to observe signals.
The train into which he ran was
protected by full stop signal ESQ
feet east of the rear of the train, by
a flagman 1850 feet east and by a
caution signal nearly $500 feet
east. All three signals were disre-
garded."
The investigation developed that
the engineer had disregarded the
duty of taking proper rest before at
tempting the important work OF
running the train. He acknowledg.

The second case arose over the fact that the

200 miles OF the branch line territory being oper
ated part Of the Portland division proposing to
turn all this steam territory and the new track
to the Portland Eugene and Eastern to be operated

pany. The company insists that for economy it must
cancel the present contract which it has with the mems
organization in far as it affects the territory in
question.
Not only will the trainmen Of the western division
be denied the right to bid into the Oakland suburban
service, but the Oakland suburban train1nen them

In other words it made apparent that no set

organizations without complete separation of the
rights OF the and committees as well as the ssu-
OF separate schedules to those parts Of the
system which are being operated by electricity
Other railroads have been able to operate their

The of the fhreQened dsnbe astnio


Our first demand was that the rights of main line
conductors both freight and passenger the
division SHOULD be extended to suburban terri
tory electrically operated dating their seniority in the
suburban service behind the youngest suburban con-
duetor. The trsinmcn contended that this should be
granted for two reasons-hrst, that in the freight
service required to work as brakemen for
many years before being promoted to freight COM
dnctors and finally to passengers conductors. But in
the Oakland suburban service passenger brakcmen
Gently had been promoted to become conductors
within years from the time Of entering the
panys service This in spite of article rs of the
agreement between the company and the that
passenger brakerasn shall not be promoted to the
position of passenger conductor, But must be pro-
noted through the freight service
The second reason was that for a long time in
the engine service have been accorded full rights
bid into this electric motor service and retain full
road rights and that failure grant trainmen the
same privilege discrimination. Men who have
been for many years in the steam service lines
that gradually being electrified feel alarmed at the
situation, which does not give them the right
their seniority entering the passenger
