THE SARATOGA CUP RACE. Notwithstanding t Sunbeau had three years advantage over Twenty Grand in age, the colt's vietory at Saratoga Springs Saturday was probably no surprise to ths fans who follow track events with intelligent interest. In all of his races, Twenty Grand has shown that he is essentially a long dis- tance runner. He usvally gets off to a slow start, but he invariably comes thundering down the stretch, nearly always to pass the string and win the money. On the other hand, Sunbeau has shown that there are limitations to his endurance. Last March on the closing day of the Agua Caliente season in the Auga Caliente Handicap, the richest race in America ($140,000 last March 22), most of the experts regard>d Sunbeau as a sure winner. But there was a ragged start. Sunbeau carried 126 pounds and the horses played around the post for twenty minutes before they got away. Sunbeau led from the scratch until the horses were in the stretch If the race had been for a mile, he would have been the victor, but he gave out and Mike Holt and two other horses passed him. He was fourth, and the bookies made a clean-up. He could not go the milé and a quarter after the long struggle to get off. The Saratogo Cup race is one mile and three quarters. Though defeated for the honors, Sunbeau Is still the greatest winner among horses. His earn- ings have passed $356,000. Ksar, famous French racer, is credited with winning $335,000, but it is said that figure was arrived .at by countipg the French franc at its theoretical value instead ~of its actual value. The nearest horse to Sunbeau in real money earnings is Gallant Fox, who ran only two seasons and was retired to the stud late in his second season when a three-year-old. His winnings were $328,000. Zev, the only other horse to win more than $300,000 was retired also as a three-year-old. He had won twenty-three races and $313,000. The greatest win- ner among English horses was Isinglass. He won eleven races and $201,000. WAGE REDUCTIONS NOT NUMEROUS. Wages affecting 210,000 workingmen were cut on an average of 10 per cent. from the high point of 1929 during the month of July, according to official statistics. However, the same official sta- tistics show that living cost has been reduced more than 30 per cent. since July, 1929. The employed workers are still better off, measured by wage pur- chasing power, by a lot than they were at that The great difficulty with this year comparedl with 1929 is that several millions who were on payrolls in 1929 are now unemployed. | The circumstance that wages are being held up| as well as they are during the depression is highl !eomplimentary to organized labor, because there i a considerable sentiment in favor of wage reductio: in the interest of lower production and transpor tation costs. lower prices would make larger sales and greate consumption. wou be er and when unemployment is wages would start on the up-grade again On the other hand, those who are opposing | wage reduction, declare that the way to prevent the collapse of the buying power of the country | SR, R s > o] is to keep up the wage standard. [4 . e Premier MacDonald is demonstrating that h: .P‘ "o,"'lson is not a quitter. in his constituency, who demanded his resignation from Parliament, that he will not quit until he completes his program as Premier. However, the Prime Minister will be able to remain in Parliament as long as he might desire a seat. There are many constituencies that would be proud to be repre- sented by him. When that veteran of Alaska cannerymen, Capt Char E. Ahues, praises Commissioner Henry O'Malley for restoring the salmon supply of South- east Alaska it is worth-while praise Capt. Ahu has spent a lifetime in Alaska fisheries and knows what he is talking about. Depression and Canada. (Olympia Olympian.) The hard luck of Europe seems to be the good luck of Canada. American tourist traffic to Europe has fallen amazingly this summer. There isn't as much money floating around loose this year as there has been in years past, and Europe isn't getting her full quota of tourists. Transatlantic steamer lines have slashed their fares, but even so are losing money with monotonous regularity. But Canada is doing better in the tourist trade than ever before. Evidently citizens of the United States who would have gone to Europe if times were better are going to Canada instead; and one can only say that they will get their money’s worth, no matter what part of the Dominion they z:hoos,:J to visit. Heavy as Canada’s tourist traffic is, however, it is only a starter. Its vacation spots are innumer- able. In a few years the rush of tourists in 1931 will look like an insignificant driblet. For the vacation seeker Canada has “it” in a big way. Indian Trail. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Flying to Asia by the Northern route, Lindbergh and his wife reversed the course which many anthropologists believe the prehistoric ancestors of the American Indians followed in reaching this continent. Bering Strait is only fifty miles wide, and it is believed that inhabitants of Northeastern Asia, accompgnied by dogs and equipped with the ability to make fire and use stone implements, perco- lated across that strait and became the founders of the Indian culture. If this theory correctly pictures the settlement of prehistoric America, then the Puget Sound area must have been an early stopover point in the racial trek. It undoubtedly took men much longer to learn to make fire and to domesticate the dog than it did for him to learn to make and operate airplanes after he had mastered these earlier arts, People Making Shorter Trips. (Seattle Times.) Statistics: Up till last Saturday, 238,858 persons and 60,797 cars had entered Rainier National Park, as compared to 212,860 persons and 50979 cars for the same period last year. All of which is good ‘mews, and explains somewhat where the decreased European travel has gone to. Then there was the Chicago race starter who, on firing the starting pistol, assassinated the sprinters in a lapse of memory.—(Yakima Morning Herald.)
