Solution of the "Five Dollar" catch

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

piled by five dollars, for the flrBt rule
of multiplication Is that the multipli

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 .

vtho attempted to storm the jail to
lynch the prisoners. 1 : - - .
' A company of mllltla arrived today
and order has been restored. Prompt
action by Sheriff Nellls prevented the
destruction of the jail.
The sheriff .first learned last night
of the plot to take the prisoners from
the Jail. Nellls then asked the Gov
ernor by telephone to send troops.
Shortly before midnight the crowd
began to gather. Nellls barricaded
the doora and windows and command
ed the crowd to disperse. When the
rush was made on the jail the depu
tier fired oyer " their 'heads. This
failed and the deputies then fired
to kill. Five men dropped and the
mob fell back. ,
Sam Wessinger was taken to the
hospital and he may die. John Ma

uties to fire on a mob of white men
are being , made freely today. .
Alexander Aalliday was a son of
a former mayor of Cairo and his
body lay tor hours in the snow be
fore being picked up ly the militia
men. , Many think Halllday's life
might have been saved if Nellls had

assistance. It is known that Halli
day was not dead for a long ticia
