crowds which came. to see him
run~,were proof that the Ameri-
can public enjoyed the sport of
racing with betting barred.
Governor Nichols of New York
is credited with inaugurating rae
ing in this country in 1865. The
nature Of things prevented much
development until the last centu-
ry, when it received q tremen-
dous impetus in the South. After
the Civil war the pastime gained
in supporters, but also in the fac
tors which subsequently brought
it into vast disrepute. 1t is use
less to set forth the steps where
by the sport Of kings passed into
the hands of the exploiter, the
alien, and the indiscriminate
gentry who dwell in the no-man s
land between "smartness" and
actual crookedness. 1t is suffi-
cient to remember that this trans
fer, little understood though it
was to the general public, culmi-
mated in the widespread agita-
ton which brought such legisla-
ton as that sponsored by Gov
ernor Hughes Of New York and
left racing with a name which it
may never live down.

IN MEMORY
Of RUTH SCHLAGOWSKY

VI RUTH SCHLAGOWSk1
Cur darling one from us is gone,
The voice we loved is stilled !;
a place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Her gentle voice is heard no more,
The voice we loved so we'll;
She beckons us from yonder shore
Where heavenly anthems swell.
You're gone from us but not for
gotten,
Still bound by Loves strong
chain;
Around the snow white Throne
of God,
Some day We'll meet again.
And there Wen never say good
bye,
With Jesus we shall ever be;
To sing his praise evermore
Throughout vast eternity.
Heaven retaineth now our treas
ure,
Earth her lonely casket keeps !;
But our thoughts will always lin
ger
Around the grave where Ruth
sleeps.

1t among those 10000 and

there were few eyes for the

Norwich.
For three minutes at the start

ltered on the third horse from

Then for one and one-quarter
niles, Norwich all alone ran his
royal way to fame that shall last
80 long as horses are remember
sd. There were others who chal.
lenged. One stable, bearing the
hopes Of those whose pride is in
Kentucky, the home of the thor
onghbred, sent three horses to
battle with Norwich for suprem-
acy. One was told off to the
duty of driving the favorite to
speed so that the others might
triumph when the wonder horse
had been burned out by the kill

must pay for life the price of his
sacrifice. He broke down and

ran his race.
In the parlance of the race
track, he made every post a win

time on fast track was 2 :O4 3-5,

Kentucky Derby.
But this is not story of Nor

three-year-old career with-z,his
9TH victory without defeat,
father it is of Norwich, a horse
too great for human guile to- de-
stroy.
There have been great horses
before, horses which have run in
faster time, finished with cour.
age as great, and endurance as
nnaAoyed. But Norwich s glory
lies in the fact that he has been
able briefly to restore to the
turf sportmanship
lost, and to lift horse-racing for
q brief 2.04 3-5 minutes of actual
running from the lowest mire to
which gamblers, exploiters and
doers Of scandalous things have
sunk it for these many years.
Hence racing has become anathe-
ma to the solid citizenry of this
country. 1t has become a sort of
disgrace to attend a race meet
ing or to show knowledge of
horses. The by-products of the
sport are unlawfui and it is with
the whisper of the bootlegger
that one speaks of what was once
the sport Of kings.
The coming Of money to the
game Of horsemanship was it's
ruin. Races are theoretically run
for purses sufficient to pay the
expenses of operating the stables.
Too often they are for the "wise
gamblers" who have corrupted
owners and jockeys that they
make money ON sure thing.
It is the horses skill, speed and
endurance, plus a little human
training, that is the thing. But
the nature Of things makes it the
man who takes the profit.

Library Notes

Through the generosity of the state
librarian. Miss Marvin, the Hood River
county library IS the richer by some
100 volumes. which have been loaned
to US for period of three months.
These books were placed on our shelves
Saturday and many of our readers
have already found them out. Among
the volumes may be mentioned several
very attractive ones of travel, few
biographies, some beautifully illus
trated books on the fine arts together
with a few which will appeal to the
nature lovers and few for the reader
of essays, of poetry, and of the drama.
The Librarian feels certain that the
readers of Hood River county will
much appreciate this loan.
We have also added several new VOL
umes to the library by purchase, but
most of these no sooner touch the
shelves than they disappear. 1t has
been impossible to keep up with the
demand this cold winter. Lack Of
space will not permit our giving a list
of these new books this week, but it
will be Forthcoming later.

CHURCHES ENDORSE
ACTION OF OFFICERS

The following resolution was pre-
sented by the pastor of Asbury M. f.
church to his congregation Sunday
morning. and was adopted without 8
dissenting vote:
Whereas, The laws relating to the
prohibition of the liquor traffic are a
great blessing to the people of the
| United States, and yet, because of
long established custom, the admins
tration Of them is surrounded with
difficulties and sometimes serious dan
ger;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That we
take pleasure in expressing our appre-
citation of the loyalty to the duties of
their respective offices displayed by
the sheriff of Hood River county. his
deputies and the city marshals of our
town in recent fragrant case of boot
Logging; by the county attorney in his
jealous attention to the case, and by
Judge Onthank in his perfect fairness
and evident desire to do justice to all
concerned.
AT its regular business meeting Feb
ruary !, the Baptist church voted
unanimously to endorse very heartily
the resolution passed by the CONNER
cial club Monday. January %.
The church feels that the action of
the Commercial club, in strongly en-
dorsing the splendid work done by our
officers in enforcing the prohibition
law, and pledging its support to them.
is a timely action. TO which the Baptist
church is glad to associate itself 1t
was strongly felt by all the members
present that 1T is time strong public
sentiment for law enforcement should
be fostered in the community. and that
resolutions, such as passed by the
Commercial club, are of great value
in fostering such a sentiment

John Walgren, Portland apple buyer,
who is here this week. says that the
blockade of the Highway and the in
terruption Of Columbia river steamers
have resulted in the availability of
more good apples here in the hands of
growers than he has ever seen before
at this season. Mr.. WalgTen says the
weather conditions will prove beneficial
to growers. as they will now realize
considerably higher prices for the low
grade apple stocks than would have
been the case IL they could have sold
earlier. The California freeze and re-
sultant high price Of oranges. he says.
will stimulate the apple market consid-
erably. Mr.. Wslgren is paying 81 per

Well Known HOrSeman Visits Here

DR.. M. E. Welch the past week has
been participating in a pleasant re-
union with his old friend, DIR. Geo. H.
Sperry, of Vancouver, Wash. 1t is
likely that no men in the northwest
are better posted on the history of the
American race horse, especially the
trotters and PAGERS, than are these two
men. They recall in their conversa-
tions days when racing was at its best,
and express the hope that the sport of
kings may again reach its proper place
in the sun of sports and mems enter
tainment. DR.. Sperry says that indi-
cations of the activities of the east
and middle west point toward a great
er popularity of racing.
Several years ago DR.. Wech pre-
sented a picture of Ed Geers and The
Harvester to The Glacier. The other
day he brought his old tillicum around
to see the picture. The two veterans
of horse racing stood, in mute rever-
ence, for some minutes, looking at the
great race horse and the dean of Amer
lean drivers.

Every Farmer May Own Tractor

Judging from the new price of the
tractor, Henry Ford is going to make
it possible for every farmer to own a
Fordson. The Dickson Motor Co., To-
cal Ford and Fordson dealers announce
that orders are being received at the
rate of more than one a day. 1t is
stated that many who heretofore have
not seriously considered the purchase
Of a tractor have already given their
orders. which should go a long ways in
convincing Hood River valley ranchers
of the feasibility and economy of the
right kind of tractor equipment.
Along with the price drop Of the trac-
tor have come several cuts in tractor
equipment, such as tractor plows and
discg
