The morning aquatic events were un usually exciting, as the finishes in all were close and the applause of the spec tators, coupled with the shrieking of the whistles of the numerous steamers, was deafening as the various contestants neared the finishing line. The first , race was between crews selected from among the midshipmen and it was won by the crew captained by Wilson Stlne. The fishboat rowing race was one that was strenuous from start ta the last pull of the oars. Last year Prsenlch and D. Tarodrocich were easy winners in this race, but this year they came in third, the winners being D. Tarabochia and Nlc, his brother. Mato Tarabochia and his brother Pepo were second.

The 3-horsepower gasoline launch race was won by T. Drlseoll, ;with the boat of A. L. Ullfers second. Gloss Is Given a Surprise. , The single pleasure-boat race was an easy win for Gloss over May, but at the same time it was a pretty exhibition. The tables were somewhat changed in the next contest, which was another double pleasure-boat race and in this Boast and Gansmiller rowed away from Gloss and Mays and won an easy race, although the winners were expected to be far In the rear at the finish. The tub race In front of the grandstand was won by Ivar Ross with Peter Johnson second. An extra race has been added for to morrow between two boat crew of Ital ian cruiser Dagoll, the prizes for which have been donated by Dr. CandlanI, the Italian Consul. The regatta committee desired to re lieve the Consul from his responsibility, but he insisted that the race should be his own and he will follow the crews in a launch. While the rowing races were in prog ress " the crowd was further enter tained with many amusing events, such as duck hunting contests, greased pole walking, high diving exhibitions and a cupaizlng drill by the Point Adams life--baving crew. The afternoon festivities opened with a land parade that was under the com mand of Lieutenant Cooper of Fort Stevens and was participated in by the Queen and her suite, the Admiral and nls staff, a company of troops from the fort, the police and fire de partments, Cushing Post G. A. R. and various civic organisations. The conditions this afternoon -were ideal for the sailing races and some close contests resulted.

This evening the regatta ball, which is the principal social feature of the carnival, was held and those who did not care to attend it were entertained at the country dance, where there was more real enjoyment and less for mality.

On the eve of the special election on the question .of the municipal ownership of a 6treet railway system, Eugene Mc Morrow has come from Chicago to Seat tle to organize the street railway em ployes of the Seattle Electric Company and to prepare for a strike for higher wages. About half of the street-car men are organized and are perfecting a union to enforce their demands. The electric company has posted notices warning the men that their Just com plaints will be heard, but stating that a threat of a strike will lead to trouble.

LUMPY Ml FROM HOBSE J. M. PERRY IS OPERATED UPON AT KENNEWICK HOSPITAL. Infected by the Disease While Work ing an Infected Animal - . ... Last- Summer. , klONA, - Wash., Aug. 30. (Special.) J. M. Perry, formerly "a residept of . Klona, SOCIETY YOCTH OF SPOKANE, WHO BILLED HIS FATHER. but for some months past engaged in the hotel business at Kennewick, recently un derwent an operation at the Kennewick Hospital for supposed cancer of the face. The disease was finally diagnosed as "lumpy jaw," a disease peculiar to horses. The Assistant State Veterinar ian, Dr. A. J. Damman, of Ellensburg, was consulted and acquiesced in the diag nosis. . Last Summer, while living at Klona, Perry was working a horse which was suffering from "lumpy jaw," though ho one supposed the disease was commun icable to human beings. Dr. Damman came to Kiona and found the diseased horse. He topk samples of the exuda tions from the sores on the horse's Jaw and will have them analyzed to deter mine the correctness of the diagnosis. The disease, in Mr. Perry's case, is prac tically the same as cancer. Much In terest is taken in the case by physicians. j J :vTrW$f ft :' :J - V Sidney Sloane. . i 4 1 ES KING Humphrey Is to Control the State Delegation. PILES IS TO BE SATISFIED Three County Offices In Dispute, and Incumbents Will Throw Strength to Only Man Whose Nomi- nation Is in Doubt. SEATTLE, Aug. 30. (Special.) The King County Republican primaries will be held tomorrow to elect delegates to the County Convention which meets Sep tember 4. An entire county and legis lative ticket is to be nominated and a delegation chosen' to the State Conven tion. The state delegation will be con trolled by Congressman Will E. Humph- d ' ,5 ; iS? t ESTHER, QUEEN OF THE ASTORIA rey, who is to be indorsed for renoml natlon. The legislative delegation nom inated by the County Convention will be one entirely satisfactory to "United States Senator S. H. Piles. The most important platform declara tions the convention will make will be to insert planks pledging legislative sup port to a direct primary bill and pledging the County Commissioners to aid the good-roads movement. There are but three county offices in controversy, and only one of these in volves an officer now in his position. Harry J. Lea is fighting the renomina tion of County Clerk Otto A. Case, but Case has the support of all the other county officials eligible for renomination and will win out. One Commissioner and an Assessor retire because of the two term limit (rescribed by law and there are hard fights on dver these nomina tions, a half dozen candidates appearing for each position. It is likely A. L. Rutherford and T. A. Parish will be nom inated Commissioner and Assessor re spectively. The legislative ticket in a few dis tricts is slightly in doubt, and the fight started in Last Monday's caucuses will be continued in tomorrow's primaries over these places on the ticket. A. T. Van de Vanter has shown surprising strength within the past few days in his fight for renomination and will make a desperate effort tomorrow to carry the Thirty-first District against R. D. Nichols, who has led thus far. The indications favor Nichols. James A. Weir, one of three candidates who has been opposing George U. Piper for State Senator in the Thirty-fourth District, will accept a nomination as State Representative. There is no doubt of Piper's success. E. M. Williams and Watson Allen are fighting for the Senatorial nomination in the thirty-second district and Williams is the likely choice. State Senator W. G. Potts has had a belated fight for renom ination and may be beaten. The district includes all of the Fifth Ward and two Seventh Ward precincts. The Seventh Ward precincts are asking for the Sta;te Senator, but the Fifth Ward wants to keep that office and Potts depends upon this sentiment for his renomination. Jo slah Collins, George W. Jeffries and George Hollowell are Fifth' Ward candi dates against Potts, with D. C. Conover fighting from the Seventh Ward. Collins has developed a considerable following within the past two days. His opposition to Potts is as strong as his desire to be Senator. The same is true of the other candidates and a compromise may be made upon some man to carry the fight against Potts. A Seventh Ward fight for Representa tive between Howard Sweeney and Alfred H. Beebe.is the most bitter legislative controversy in the county. This fight has developed into an Interchange of person alities. Sweeney was on the Robert Booth slate when Booth was fighting E. B. Pal mer for the nomination as State Senator. Palmer's withdrawal resulted in a dec laration from Booth that he would not Interfere between Sweeney and Beebe. Thereafter the fight grew more bitter. NO EVIDENCE OF . TOLTj ROAD County Court Is Scored by a Hills- boro Justice. HILLSBORO. Or.. Aug. 30. Justice Baglcy today decided the case of the state against Fred Hurford. of Newberg, in which was Involved the legality of the lease of J. H. McNamer to the Wilson River toll road, in Washington County. Hurford was charged with breaking open the toll gate and passing through without paying toll. The court held that the pro ceedings of the County Court were irreg ular, that the court had failed in many instances to follow the law, and that in the present condition there was no competent evidence of the existence of a valid toll road. Even though the court had authority in the first instance to enter into the leasing, yet, until the recordof the court's proceedings is corrected by popular nunc pro tunc orders, the existence of the road cannot be established, and the court held that in the face of this conclusion there was no authority for holding the defend ant. The facts were not sufficient, either, so the defendant was discharged. CITY ENGINEER GIVES PLANS Work on the North Yakima Sewer Is to Be Begun at Once. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Aug. 30. (Special.) After considerable pressure was brought to bear on him. City Engineer Nlcols turned over the plans and specifica tions of the Beech-street sewer to the spe cial engineer appointed by the City Coun cil. In giving up possession of the plans, the City Engineer has stated that he will reset stakes and bench marks alleged to have been displaced and destroyed by him after his dismissal from supervision ofthe sewer work. Attorney Reavis, representing the John rpx- f fill r''":l CARNIVAL. IJJ YACHTING COSTUME. Gllligan Company, contractors, made the statement this morning that the company would build the sewer according to the original plans. Yesterday the contractors stated that they would commence work at once. If the city would advance 80 per cent of the value of the material now on the ground.

BOTH FEET STICK IN THE MUD Hood River Rancher Falls From 50 Foot Trestle Into Creek-Bed. THE DALLES, Or.. Aug. 30. .Spe cial.) Early this morning some labor ers going to their work found Charles M. Busey, a farmer of Hood River, lying in an unconscious condition under the O. R. & N. Co's. trestle near the mouth of Neill Creek. Busey had evidently fallen from the railroad bridge, 50 feet above, with such force as to imbed his lower limbs in the mud of the creek bed.

The Attorney-General's Department does not an ticipate the despatch of troops to Babine Lake as a result of the rlslstance of the Indians against the police, who sought to arrest Indians using weirs to trap salmon contrary to regulations. The trouble is considered overstated. The total number of Indians In that section is but 251, many of them women and children. As the matter Is between the Indians and the Federal officers, the province is not interfering. A. W. Vowell, Superin tendent of Indian Affairs, received a tel egram from R. E. Lolng, Indian agent at Hazelton, who said: "May overcome trouble;, going to Ba bine Saturday."' Vowell said the matter would easily be settled by the agent without the necessity of military men being sent. Welsh Choir Is Invited. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 30. (Special.) Evan D. Jones, secretary of the St David's Chambrian Society of Washing ton, has asked the Royal Male Welsh Choir, which is coming to this country this Winter, to visit the Northwest and sing in Seattle.

TAX ON DRINKERS Commission Recommends Part Payment to the State. TEN PER CENT ABOUT RIGHT Majority of 'Board Declares That This Class of People as a Rule Is Without Any Tax able Property. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 30. (Special.) That people who drink intoxicating liquor and who, therefore. Indirectly pay the liquor license fees, are largely of the class who do not pay a property tax, is the theory of the Stats Tax Commission, which has recommended that the state receive 10 per cent of all money collected for liquor licenses. The Commission remarks that if this 10 per cent be required to be paid to the state, the ihunlcipalitles will in crease the fees accordingly, thus shifting a part of the burden of taxation to those who now contribute little in the way of a property tax. The Commission thinks the payment of 10 per cent to the state would be In pro portion to the Increased burden Imposed upon the state by reason of the liquor traffic. This is the recommendation of a major ity of the Commission. F. W. Mulkey and E. B. Seabrooke. The minority member, W. J. Lachner, takes an opposing posi tion, and contends that the licensing and regulation of the sale of liquor are local matters and should be left entirely to the local governments. He points out that some municipalities and counties have gone . "dry" and have no license fees. From this he argues that it would be unjust to require payment of the 10 per cent of liquor license fees to the state, for those counties and cities that prohibit the sale of liquor would escape the tax. The Commission's report says: Leelalatlon of thla sort ia not at all un common, especially in states which, as Ore gon, attempt to raise a considerable proportion of their revenues by means other than a di rect general property tax. Blmllar provlsiona are found in the State of New York, and the bill we have drafted follows closely the lan guage of a lilie statute In the State of Wash ington. This Is primarily a revenue measure, and Is designed to diminish the amount of state expenditures which must be apportioned to the several counties to be raised by direct property tax. We estimate that the revenues of this tate from this source alone would be about 11O0. 000 per annum. The municipalities and coun ties very largely have the power within their own control of recouping" themselves by in creasing the license taxes by an amount equal to the etate's proportion and thus the burden will be shifted. If . hiirtier license fees and fewer licenses result 'an economic benefit will be conferred upon the community, rexardless of consideration for the state's finance. "From a narrow financial standpoint." says Professor Ely, "high license is an undoubted success. ' If the choice la between low license and high license, it seems to me that high license is the lesser evil." Such license fees in Oregon are low when compared with faimlla.r fees in other etatea It need not be feared that to increase them will generally decrease the revenues derived therefrom, for the grtn in amount will exceed the diminished number of licenses issued. Of course, we are discussing this question now from a purely financial standpoint rather than considering the sub ject la a moral or a social aspect. It is Just that the cities and counties should divide this privilege tax with the state, and the proportion we sugRest, (one-tenth) does not unfairly, represent the proportionate dis tribution of the increased burden imposed by auch a traffic. The adoption of a provision of this character will bear with a considerable degree of uniformity and equality upon all of the communities in the state, and correspond ingly lessen the burdens of property taxation. It is not unreasonable to assume that thia additional tax will be In large measure shifted to and absorbed by an element in our state which at the present time contributes but lit tle in the way of property taxes. WEYERHAECSERS ADDING TO SOUTHERN OREGOX HOLDINGS. Extension of Klamath Lake Railroad From Pokegama to Pelican Bay Said to Be in Prospect. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 30. (Special.) Well-confirmed reports made public here today indicate that the Wey erhauser Timber Company Is connected with the purchase of the military road grant, and representatives of that com pany have about completed negotiations for the purchase of the timber land hold ings of Charles 8. and Rufus 8. Moore, comprising about 14.000 acres. The big sawmill plant of Moore Bros., located here, has the greatest capacity of any mill south of the Calapoola Mountains, in this state. L. 9. McCormick, in charge of the Coast properties of the Weyerhaueser, and pres ident of the Klamath Lake Railroad, has been in Klamath Falls for a week on a trip of Inspection of property, and will proceed as far east as Bly, Paisley and Lakeview before returning to his home at Tacoma. v Extension of the Klamath Lake Rail road from Pokegama to Pelican Bay is said to be the plan under consideration by the Weyerhaueaers, locating a big sawmill on one of the bays of Upper Klamath Lake, the railroad by such a route traversing the largest body of soft pine timber on the Pacific Coast, control of which rests with the Weyerhaeusers. It is also asserted that a connection with the- Western Pacific is probably in cluded in the plane for extension of the Klamath Lake Railroad, which would give two outlets to the east by the time the Oregon Eastern can be completed across the state, as the Nevada-California-Oregon is pushing north to Alturas in its route to the Klamath basin.
