Telegrams eath problem easily solr . ed by La Grande readers Solution of the "Five Dollar" catch problem published by the Portland Telegram yesterday as a deep prob lem in mathematics, Is an easy task for the problem Is not a problem. The Problem (?) goes on to ask when is five dollars not 500 cents? It ex plains that when $5 are multiplied by 15 the result is $25. If 600 cents (equivalent to $5) are multiplied by 500 cents the result is 250,000 cents, or f2500. . Now the pdoblem has no solution more than bas the ctatement four cows times four horses. . Either the cow or the horse can be taken four times Five dollars cannot be multl piled by five dollars, for the flrBt rule of multiplication Is that the multipli er must be an abstract number. On first study the problem is difficult. out an analysts easily uncovers the catch in the statement To Decide on Tacht Races. . . ' , 1 ,): ' London, Feb. 18. The proposed in ternational yacht racing regatta on the Solent during the first fortnight in August next is being threshed out today at the annual gathering of the Yacht Racing Association of the Un ited Kingdom. It is understood that the Irish and Clyde clubs oppose the plan, while the English association hopes to put the sceme through. It is believed that, if the British asso ciation is successful, a similar series will be arranged for. France during July of next year and for Kiel dur ing Kiel week in 1912 by the local members of the International Yacht Racing Association. Thereafter it la hoped to have these racing meet re occur in that order. Under the tentative plans, the Yacht Racing' Association reports, the annual Cowes week will not be In terfered with. On the contrary, it will be very considerably augment ed every third year by the appear ance of many foreign yachts which might not otherwise put in an ap pearance. However, the Irish and the Clyde regattas might be rather ser iously Interfered with by the general acceptance of any such plan in the years when the English boats went to xKiel. ' . ' " Have More Congressmen Portland, Feb. 17. That Oregon will be entitled to three and perhaps four congressmen after Director of the census .Beach has finished his tabulation of the population of the state, la the common belief. The reg istration of 1908 shows there were 122,098 registered voters in the state. There were 32,265 in Multnomah county. It is bel level that the ratio will hold goou.tu gouts. al population throughout the state. Therefore, since it Is expected the census will Bhow Portland to have at least 200,000 population, it is safe to estimate that the population of the entire state will be close to 800, 000. This would give the state three congressmen on a basis of one for every 224,000. If tho population of Portland should go to 250,000, as it Is contended by many, then the population of the state on the ratio of one-fourth, would goto 1,000,000. This would give the state four representatives in congress. ' -s . Would oust "Battery Dan" New York,' Feb. 1?. Judge Daniel K.
