THE 'MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1930 15 COLLEGIATE CLASSIC REGATTA IS TODAY Events for First Time to Be Held on Cayuga Lake. DISTANCE IS REDUCED Battle of 'Varsity Eights Will Be Over Two-Mile Instead of Four-Mile Coarse. ITHACA. N.Y., June 18. The first regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing association ever staged upon Cayuga lake will be held here tomorrow after noon with crews from Corrtoll, Penn sylvania. Columbia and Syracuse uni versities competing. There will be 'three races, all to be rowed over a two-mile course which has been staked out close to the shore near the head, of the lake. Freshman eights. Junior varsity eights and varsity eights will each compete in their re spective events and unless there is an leverUh-hour withdrawal. 12 crews will go to the starting line in the trio of contests. The long-drawn out battle of varsity eights over the four-mile course is also a classic of the past for after the Poughkeepsie regatta of 1916 it was decided by the board of stewards that the distance should be reduced to three miles. The world war intervened before the innovation could be put Into effect and when It became neces sary this spring to shift the races from Poughkeepsie to Cayuga lake the distance for the university eights was further reduced to two miles. Two reasons were advanced for the change. A two-mile race rowed on the dead waters of a lake was thought to equal close to three miles on flow ing river water. In addition one or more of the varsity crews plan to romnnte for places on the United States Olympic rowing team. These try-outs will take place at Worcester on July 24 and will be over a mile and a quarter course. It was felt that to require the oarsmen to train for a three-mile race, after the season's preliminary short distance events and then return to sprint training again would be too severe a strain and pre vent them from showing their best form at Worcester. ITHACA, N. Y.. June 18. Only light tunlng-up exercises were held today by the crews which will compete in the Intercollegiate Rowing associa ' tlon reeatta here tomorrow.

(Special.) uutles collected on imports curing the first 15 daya of June totaled $0000. a record for any similar period In the history of the port, according to an announcement today by Collector of Customs avta. The aver age collections amount to about $400,000 a month. An Increase of more than 10 per cent ts indicated for the month. The Podo & Talbot corporation filed In the United States court yeaterday a libel for 113.000 against the American ateam schooner Ernest 11.

Unless the bay and river boat owners give a favorable answer to the demands of the Marine Qas Engineers' association's demands by next Monday, the launchmen win go on strike tha following day. The mpioyers and employes are deadlocked today over the question of the open or osea snop. Coming on the eve of the visit of the Pacific fleet to the democratic convention the strike will probably result in consid erable confusion on the waterfront.

MORE PORTLAND PEOPLE TESTIFY John Lundquist and Wife Are Amons Latest to Reap Remarkable Benefits From Tanlac Maneuvering of a high order was required of the Port of Portland and the Columbia river pilots last night to make the supply of towboats and pilots meet the needs of shipping. Difficulties arose after the schooner William H. Smith had started 'down river in tow of the towboat Portland, with Captain A. R. Pearson as pilot of the schooner. The schooner Oregon Pine, lying at Westpori. developed a desire to reach Prescott in order to complete her cargo. Imperative harbor moves in the morning required, the presence of light. A river pilot had to be placed I East 23d street North. tne tank steamer Alias ior ner So many people through America have testified to having used Tanlaa with such splendid results, following influenza, grippe, operations, typhoid and pneumonia and other troubles that result in a rundown condition that it has become universally recog nised as the most powerful recon structive tonic of the present day. Right here in Portland, Oregon, alone hundreds have told in no uncer tain terms how Tanlao has built them up in weight and restored their health after all other means had failed. Another striking testimonial in con nection with this fact was given by John R. Lundquist, living at 93S Port Calendar. Deal Reported to Involve In Neigh borhood ot $1,500,000 Fa mous Yard Passes.

Doyle for the oprt solved the problem in the following strategic manner: Pilot Charles Anderson, who had gone to Stella, Wash., the night before on the steam schooner Wapama, was Instructed by telephone to hire a launch and stop the towboat and the Wm. H. Smith at Westpcrt. The tow boat dropped the schooner there ln the slough, picked up the Oregon Pine and took her from Westport to Prescott, and then came back to Port land to be here for the harbor moves this morning. Captain Anderson, leaving the Wm. H. Smith at anchor, took the train to Astoria to bring the Atlas up the river. Meanwhile the bar tug Wal lula had placed a bar pilot on the steamer Yosemite. This duty per formed, she steamed up the river to Westport, picked up the Wm. H. Smith, which had been waiting only a short tmle. and took her back to Astoria. Thus all the vessels made the de sired moves. At the completion of the maneuver the Wallula was back at Astoria, where she belongs, and the Portland was back in the local harbor. U. S.

Major .Patton will contribute to The Oregonlan a series of letters on what he finds. "From what I can understand Id the major yesterday, "very few people in Portland have made the trip up the Columbia beyond The Dalles. The river has been neglected as a traffic road since the' railroads were built, but now it ' a simple matter to transport freight by motor truck from the interior to the river, and the freight can be floated down the stream on barges, if necessary. Anyway, It seems as though there should be great possibilities for the river." Major Patton was the f:rt white man ln the Imperial valley and he waa the man who demonstrated that fin tuna.

In 1891 Major Patton heard that water had suddenly ap peared ln the desert. As the desert Is more than 200 feet lower than sea level, there was a possibility that the water was coming In from the gulf, and if the valley was filled by a lake It might change the cllmare. To make thorough investigation, the major obtained a boat and began his ex- j plorations. The water tasted salty, but that proved nothing. The major found a small fish. If it was a smelt. the water came from the gulf, and if it was a carp the water waa from the river. An expert classified the find as a carp, and further investi gation satisfied Major Patton that his theory was correct- when I entered the Imperial val ley there was not a drop of water to drink and the only food was what I carried. Tears later an engineer followed up my investigation and the Imperial valley came Into its own. When I visited It again, recently, there - were 75,000 people where in 1891 there was not a soul, and what was a desert waste is producing mil lions of dollars' worth of foodstuff. Major Patton toured Par a ma last year and his letters to The Oregonlan caused somewhat of a sensation at the isthmus. - The- year before that he was in the south ssas for seven months and for three montns he never saw land.

I suffered from awful pains in my aide and in the small of my back, and my Joints were so stiff that I could hardly get about. My condition finally be came so bad that I had to quit my work.
