ACCIDENT DISABLES WOLF Large Fleet or Small Cralt Gathers on River to Witness Races Held by Willamette Mo , j tor-Boat Club. WTNJTERS OF BOAT RACES. Silver Heels, owned and driven by Allen Burdlck won two-mile handi cap race: time 18:58 The Rochester, owned by 3. C. Alnsworth and driven by Harry Bel, won the four-mile race, time 26:09. Happy Heine, owned and driven by Otto Raupt. won the eight-mile race; time 28:44. Motor boat racing on the Willam ette I'iver is another of the equatic sports that has come to .stay. No better proof of this la needed than the presence of the exceptionally large fleet that was on hand yeate;-dy aft ernoon to take part in tha first big motor boat races held byi the Willam ette Motor Boat Club. At the start ing; point, just above Captain Bundy's baths, the river was literally alive with motor boats of all classes and descrip tions, arid these, together with it dozen or more of the sailors from the Tacht Club fleet and row boat, gave the scene a most animated app3arance. Because the races were the lirst held under the auspices of the club and be et, use the game was new to mom of the club members, there was some de lay and conf union . in getting the llrsl bunch of starleiij away. Thvi officials were quick to note the mistakes and when it came time to send on the sec ond set of boms the trick was done frith clock-like precision. Tears Hole-in Boat. Mr. Lecey had entered his new boat in the scratch ten-mile race and it was to have been the first serious try out, but during the warming up pro cess a nut loosened on the engine and a part of the gear tore a hole in the boat.' Fortunate for Mr. I,acey he was close to shore when this happened and ho was able to reach a landing in safety, but not before he had shipped a great deal of water. The race was to have been between the Vixen end the Wolf, both boats having been built by Mr. Wolf. Mr. Lacey's boat certainly looks the part of a racer. It is constructed on speed lines and equipped with fine engines. There was a genuine surprise in the first race, a tcn-minule handicap con test over a course of two miles. The boats started in this race, but owing to the confusion in starting some of them were , away badly and some started without waiting for the signal from Dr. F. n. Dammasch, who did the Rtarting. Owing to the difference In time of the handicap no two 'of the boats were close together at the fin ish, but the crowd was delighted when a bit of a toy motor boat, highly pat riotic in Its coloring of red, white and blue, called the Silver Heels, driven by Allen Burdeck. crossed the line a win ner, making the two miles in 1S:2S. Within ..a few seconds another boat, about the same size, called the Honey Boy, crossed the iine and was placed second. The Venus was third. Alnsworth Boat Wins. J. C. Ainsworth's Rochester, one of the handsomest motor boats on the river, won the four-mile event. The same boat was entered in the eight mile race, but the engine became cranky and the driver lost several min utes cooling his engine. In this race all three of the boats were oie up at the finish, the Rochester, driven by Harry Bell. . crossing the line about 8 seconds ahead of the Mercedes, driven by Henry Larsen. The Happy Heinle was third. The racing time of the Rochester over the four-mile course was 26 minutes and 0 seconds. The Happy Heinie, driven by . Otto Ranft, furnished the excitement and proved the winner of the eight-mile race. During the races, the Happy Heinie, with a noise like a rapid-firing gun, tore up and around the starting point, to the delight of the crowd, and no one was surprised to see the boat do all kinds of fancy stunts in the finish of the eight-mile race. They did not realize, however, that the engine of the Happy Heinie had torn itself loose and was trying to jump over board and get a rest. Yet this was so. and but for a lot of racing luck and courage, the boat would have fin ished. Boat Makes "Had Finish. When the racers were sighted from the finishing point, the Sterling was in the lead, with the Happy Heinie and the Kittle close up. Suddenly the Happy Heinie was eeen to shoot out of the course into the middle of the river and then duck and dodge like a football player. Finally the boat was headed for the finish, and in spite of losing so much ground, finished in front of the Sterling by several lengths. It was not until Ranft got his boat to the judges' stand that It was discovered what had bothered the driver. The boat was so badly out of commission that it had to be towed back home. The feat of finishing with a disabled boat of the Happy Heinle type, going at top speed, was a game performance. When the Wolf was put out of com mission, the Vixen started for an ex hibition trial. The boat was in charge of Mrs. Wolf, and would have made fast time over the eight-mile course but for the fact that Mrs. Wolf found it necessary to slow up ort account of driftwood in the channel. 'The Vixen covered the eight miles in 32 minutes and 42 seconds. The officials of the races were: Dr. F. II. Dammasch, starter; George Kin near, formerly commodore of the Pitts burg Motor Boat Club; A. Flemming and Robert Obertuesser, Judges, and L. M. Myer, timer.

The Beavers squared themselves for their slump of the week by tearing into the Commuters today and copping off the double-header without turning a hair. Portland played as it never played before here this season, and the work in the field and at the bat came pretty near being the perfect stuff. The morning game was a grand, old time slugging affair, which went ten innings. Portland took the lead with four runs at the outset, but, with Haley on second in the fourth, Heine Heit muller knocked the ball over the cen terfield fence and Truck Eagan came right back with one which cleared the right-field fence. Portland gathered two more before the ninth, but Oak land swung in with three, making it a deadlock. However, the Beavers ral lied again in the tenth, and four hits, including Madden's second triple, put three runs over, and th game was broken up for fair. A big crowd was on the job in the afternoon and the Portland victory seemed to please everybody but Van Haltren and his Commuters. Bobby Grooln had everything and the Oaks never figured to get a run off him. In the meantime McCredie had his men working the squeeze play. It went with so much effect that six out of the eight runs were made on bunts. Hardy was hammered out of the box in the sixth and McFarland finished the game. Pearl Casey wait struck in, the face with a foul tip from the bat of Danzig, in the morning gHme, and painfully in jured. He will not be able to play for several days. Scores: Morning Game. PORTLAND.

Duel's Bulletin No. 6 TAXATION We have heretofore discussed problems In which the Interest of the public and that of the company are mutual; we propose now to discuss the question of taxation, in which these interests may seem to conflict. There is always more or less agitation over corporate ' taxation, and this will probably continue until, by a clear presenta tion of the facts, we can raily public opinion to a fair point of view. FIRST OF ALL WE STATE: (a) Street railway companies in the United States pay a higher tax per dollar of income than any other exteasive industry known, except liquor and tobacco manufacturers. b) That the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company of Portland PAID BY WAY OF TAXES (and charges in the nature of taxes) about ?300',000.00 in the year 1907. (c) THAT THE PORTLAND RAILWAY. LIGHT & POWER COM PANY PAYS PROPORTIONALLY AS LARGE TAXES, AND MUCH LARGER THAN MOST. AS ANY STREET RAILWAY COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES. (if That the figures will show that the city and state recelva from the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company the equivalent of ALL FARES COLLECTED FROM ONE CAR IN SIX, after deduct ing the actual cost of running such car. Figures prepared in this office show that the company pays an average of about 13 per cent of its gross and 35 per cent of Its net, compared with 6.3 per cent gross and J3.9 per cent net average for cities of 500.000 population or over; that Is to say, the Portland Rail way Light & Power Company pays in taxes about $123,000.30 mora per annum than the average of cities of the same or greater popula tion. A writer in the Yale Law Review (August, 1899, page 173), In summing up the situation, said: "IN PRACTICE THE TAXATION IN DIFFERENT LOCALITIES VARIES GREATLY, AS WE HAVE SEEN. AND REACHES ALL ALONG FROM THE ENTIRE TAX EXEMPTION, ON THE ONE HAND, TO OPPRESSIVE TAXATION (WELL NIGH CONFISCATION) ON THE OTHER. It is a fact that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company pays taxes and charges In the following, amongst other forms: (1) privilege of cpossing briages; (2) taxes upon its power-houses, car barns and other valuable real estate at the same rate as a citizen; (3) taxes on its tracKS, which are assessed as real estate; (4) city ordinance payments; (5) taxes on its franchises; (6) cost of street paving and bridge assessments, and for the repair of streets between and beside its tracks, notwithstanding the fact that this requirement Is Klniply a survivor of horserar dys, Tvbrn the company's horses hammered the tracks. Today, with electricity, no injury Is done to the streets by the cars, and yet tne company continues to pay for the repairs made necessary by carts and wagons which wear out its tracks and adjacent street surface. We do not ask for unreasonable reductions, but do ask to be let alone until we "catch lip," and want to impress you with this thought: The strpetrar tm the poor nian'A carriage, and the means of relieving him of the ne-essity of dwelling In the congested portion of the city near his place of work. Tux the carriage loo heavily and you impair its efficiency. Furthermore, it should be remembered that there is hardly a savings bank in the city, where the man of modest means keeps his money, which is not largely Interested in the securi ties of our company. What difference does a fraction of a cent a year make to you when compared with your dally convenience in regu larity and efficiency of service? And is it not true that every dollar of tax bevond a living rate is a tax on efficiency and good service? To any man who thinks accurately, it must be clear that an unfair burden impairs the company's ability to meet the various problems, such as the rush-hour difficulty. It Is also clear that if you cripple the company's financial power, you seriously interfere with its ability to lead in the development of the city and its suburbs. FINALLY: It is to the interest of every citizen to. see that he gets good service at reasonable rates, and that money which should be devoted to this purpose Is not diverted to excessive taxation. Over ti nnil nn.l r,n hnvo hppn enptit on tliA nrnnertv in the, last vear for betterments and extensions, and the system of free transfers saves the traveling public about $400,000.00 per annum assuming that all pas sengers who now ride on free transrers wouia oe wining to pay nm price formerly charged therefor and which is permitted in many other large cities. The first man up in the game got a single oft Baker and the next one came after two were out in the ninth. The youngster struck out eight, including the best sluggers on the Seattle team. He had gcod control for a south paw. his three bases on balls coming at times when they did no damage. Rush pitched grand ball for the Slwashes. making the affair a splendid pitchers' duel.
