QUEER LOOKING RACES
LAID TO BOOK MAKING

PARIS, July 14.-lA. P.)-So many
queer looking races, (despised out.
siders defeating illustrious horses)
have been uncovered at the metro
poiitan tracks since the opening of the
racing season that Baron Maurice de
Rothschild, himself one of the largest
I owners in France as well as deputy for
Pau, has brought the matter to the at
tention of the French Chamber.
Baron de Rothchild has asked the
chamber to pass. law for the sup
preston of book making i'm Paris and
largest cities in France, and mooks to
be replaced by Par-mutuel booths in
the cities.
The French government receives ter
per cent on all moneys taken in at the
pari-mutual booths at the various
tracks. AS the amounts bet at the
different tracks vary from 100000
to 10000, 600 francs daily the French
government derives from the racing
industry revenue of between 100000
and 1000. 900 francs per day.
Baron de Rothschiid said in the
French chamber that more money was
bet with the banks operating in Paris
each day than at the tracks; estimat-
were wagered in the city alone. This
is n net loss of 1000. 600 francs day
for the government. He charged that
several races had been run with such
fIagrant evidence of crookedness that
had such racing been attempted in
England or America the owners, train
ers or jockeys would have been ruled
off the turf for life.
II has been alleged that the book
makers gather in all thecity money
in the forenoon. no bet being accepted
under any circumstances after one
O'Clock. This gives them ample time
to journey to the race track and. if
they find that they are overloaded on
any one horse and stand TO lose too
to use little persuasion on the
jockey plotting the animal.
Jockey Brethet has just been ruled
off for life. He was up on Zizanie ii
an overwhelming favorite with the
public. He did not finish in the mon
ey and his bad riding was so evident
Che was an apprentice jockey, not an
expert in the gentle art of pulling a
horse) that the judges summoned him
into the stand. He promptly admitted
having pulled the horse but claimed |
not to be acquainted with the men
who had made it worth his while to |
lose the race.
This is one instance out of many |
which Baron de Rothschild says will |
kill racing in France unless the gov
ernment takes stern measures for the
suppression of bookmaking in Paris,

they even dive under and reach the
bases just as the runners on a base

ored with one of the incest par
ties Of the season, given by their
teacher, w. r. Emerson, at his

COMMUNITY MILL
DELIVERING GOODS.
Model Plant, Started Saturday,
I. Now Working Like Well
Regulated Watch.

Head Miller NJ D. Campbell of
the Nezperce Community Mill,
says he now has charge of one of
the most complete milling plants
it was ever his pleasure to oper-
ate, and he has been m the flour
making business from New York
to Portland during the past 40
years.
He is proud Of the model equip
ment now under his control and
takes pleasure in showing visitors
how it works and what can be
done with it.
A flour mill has been the cry
ing need Of this community since
the old plant was moved away
some years ago, and that need
has been supplied without stint in
sany respect.
In new brick building, the ell
ectrical driven machinery, set on
heavy concrete foundations, has
been given every advantage to
turn out the best possible product
the grain from this best Of wheat
countries warrants. The placing
of the machinery and its syste-
matte connection by spouts, con-
veyors and elevators was super
vised by B. Y. Gregory, Of Spo-
kane, one of the best millwrights
money could employ, and the re-
suits of his work combined with
Mr.. Campbell's s skill in milling
wheat are best appreciated in the
product high patent hard
wheat flour to be known as "Sil-
yer Loaf" a straight grade
"Nezperce" flour; a whole wheat
flour than which there is moth
ing better to eat real breakfast
food, and the general run of feed
and mill products.
While custom work and the To-
cal supply of wheat products will
be the chief objective of the Nez-
perez Community mill, it will ex-
tend its commodity into the out
side market as the demand aris-
es-and the quality will make
this demand.
This institution is entirely the
result of local effort and is fl
nanced by local capital, many of
the grain producers themselves
being behind it with their dollars,
and the whole community has
every reason to boost it every
time chance arises.

tested their usual patriotic spirit
by crowding the Community

gettable language the beauty and
grandeur of that wonder of the
world.
The Legion Quartette rendered
two beautiful selections. Miss
Locke gave the audience treat
with one of her piano selections.
The Legion band made its initial
appearance, and was heartily en-
cored. Mrs. Pike and Mr.. Rich Rich
mond gave a violin and cornet
duet. Rev. Pike delivered the pa
triotic address, which was won
derfully well built for the occa-
sion and impressively delivered
and made fine climax to ore of
the best programs ever called
forth in this community on any
public occasion. The program
concluded with the singing of
America. Then the young folks
adjourned to the Fraternal hall
where they gaily tripped the
light fantastic.
In honor of the day the husi-
ness houses and county offices
were closed and the schools took
a holiday.
