IS UP COIC
Contract for the construction of. a
public elevator from the business sec
tion to the top of the bluff at Seventh
street will probably be let to the Ore
gon Bridge & Construction company
for $11,980 as a result of the action
of the city council at a special meet
ing Friday afternoon. While no de
cision in the matter of letting the i
contract was reached, the council
voted to accept and approve the bid, j
and if nothing goes wrong, the mayor
anil recorder will be authorized to
sign the contract at a special meeting
to be held next Wednesday afternoon
at half-past four.
These were the final developments
of a particularly stormy session of the
council, which was opened by the
reading of the report of the special
elevator committee, which has had
the bids under consideration since
last Wednesday. The committee
recommended that the bid of $11,980
be acepted and the contract awarded
to the above-named company. Council
man Holman thereupon moved that
the report of the committee be accept-j
ed, and that the mayor and city re
corder enter into a contract with t".ie
Oregon Bnidge & Construction com
pany. Troubls is Foreseen.
Followed a silence. Then Council
man Meyer rose to mention that there
might he some trouble about securing
a right-of-way across private land for
the landing at the upper end of the
elevator, and asked City Attorney
Stone to tell what was being done to
wards securing this land. Mr. Stone
replied that notice of condemnation
proceedings had been given, and that
ha did not think the city would have
any trouble in securing the property.
He suggested that the council appoint
a board of appraisers to fix the value
of the land desired.

Until
motion had -not received a second,
rose and moved that the report of the
committee be accepted, and that the
mayor and city recorder be instructed
to enter into a contract as soon as
the right-of-way was secured. Follow
ed theu another silence. The mayor
asked if he heard a second to Mr. Hol
man s motion, and was told that no
body had heard any.
Councilman Beard then rose and
moved that the report of the commit
tee be accepted and placed on file.
This motion was seconded and passed
at once. -
Mr. Tooze Asks Time.
Councilman Tooze was the next
man up. He said that he would like
more time in the matter so that he
might examine the plans and specifi
cations submitted, so that he could
explain to his constituents, if they
asked him, just what the city was un
dertaking to do. He thought that
since so much time had already been
spent on the matter, a little more
would do no harm, and suggested next
Wednesday as a good date upon which
to take the matter up.
Mr. Holman objected to this, say
ing that he thought his motion ought
to pass, and pointed out that as un
der its provisions no contract would
be signed until a right-of-way for the
landing had been secured, there would
be ample time for the councilmen to
familiarize themselves with the plans.
Councilman Meyer thought s), too.
The chairman of the special elevat
or committee, Councilman Albright,
then took up the argument. He said
that his committee had thoroughly
gone into the matter, and that the
city attorney had informed him that
there was no way private interests
could stop the progress of the elevat
or.. He pointed out that under Mr.
Holman's plan there would be ample
time for inquiries to be made by thos-e
who were interested.
Albright Asks Action.
"This committee has been on the
job since the first of the year,"- he
said, "and the council has had lots of
time to look into the matter. I do
not think it ought -to be blocked now.
If the council empowers the mayor to
sign this contract now the bridge
people are not going to put up the
elevator tomorrow. They Will have
to wait for steel and material, and
there will be lots of time for these
parties to look into the details."
As he said "these parties" Mv. Al
bright regarded Mr. Tooze fixedly.
Before Mr. Tooze could take up the
apparent challenge,-Councilman Beard
turned the light on another angle. He
said that he had not been in favor of
Seventh street, but believed that was
what the rest of the council wanted,
so had sided with the majority. Re-

YALE DEFEATED
BY OLD ENEMY
NEW LONDON, Conn., June 20.
For thY sixth time in six consecutive
years Harvard's eight-oared varsity
crew triumphed over the Yale oars
men, in the four-mile race that closed
the annual inter-university regatta
here this afternoon. Preceded by
the two Crimson victories of the fore
noon and the two won on Thursday, it
completed a Harvard sweep that has
been equaled only once or twice in
the long history of Yale-Harvard row
ing.: The final defeat administered ' to
Yale was so crushing that the English
stroke and rowing methods imported
from Oxford are"" being' ridiculed to
night in a manner which many vet
eran oarsmen think unjust.

Objection to this was made on the
grounds that many property owners

to be one of the property owners, said
he had never had a hearing. When tae

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20.
One hundred and twelve sturdy oars
men, divided among seventeen crews
and representing six prominent uni
versities of the country, have finished
practice and are awaiting the signals
that will start them in the races for
glory tomorrow in the nineteenth an
nual regatta of the - Intercollegiate
Rowing association.- The universities
are Cornell, Pensylvania, Columbia,
Wisconsin, Syracuse and Washington.
.The big race of the day will be tlie
varsity eight-oared contest, in which
each of the six universities . will be
represented. Preceding the big race
will be the two-mils race of the var
sity four-oared shells, for the Kennedy
challenge trophy, and the freshman
eight-oared two-mile race, for the
Stewards' cup. All six universities
will participate in the four-oared race,
but Washington will have no repre
sentative ia the contest of the fresh
men eights.
Chief interest, of course, centers
in the contest of the varsity eights.
Cornell's men of brawn, the last crew
to be trained by the veteran coach,
Charles E. Courtney, are picked to
win. In the light of the past perform
ances it could not well be otherwise.
Of the eighteen regattas held by the
intercollegiate asociation on the var
sity eight-oared races. As the Ithacan
crew thfs year is composed of vet
erans and has the further advantage
of having the extreme outside course,
the wise ones can sea little or no
chance for them to Ipse. .
Columbia appears to be the second
favorite. Pennsylvania's chances
are well thought of by many , while
Syracuse, which has . sprung more
than one surprise in former years, is
mentioned with respect. In the many
years that Wisconsin has sent her
crews to Poughkeepsie the Badger
boys have always , displayed great
gameness and several times have fin
ished well in the running.
Tne University of Washington,
which is represented here for the first
time, is naturally an unknown quant
ity. The crews have come from the
far Northwest with the reputation of
having cleaned up everything on tae
Pacific coast, but whether they are
ot a class to hold their own agaiast
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania
can be determined only by the results
tomorrow.
The Hudson river course over which
the races will be rowed is a straight
deep stretch of water beginning three
miles north of the Poughkeepsie
bridge, and finishing one mile south
of that structure.

JOY FOR KIDDIES
Seventh street was made a regular
strawberry patch Friday morning
when a team belonging to B. A. And
erson, of Maple Lane, hauling a load
of the lueiaus fruit to market, be
came frightened at a passing automo
bile and started down the steep hill
on the upper part of the thoroughfare
at breakneck speed. The light wagon
behind them swayed from side to
side, and at each lurch it spill 3d
strawberries to right and left.
Near the base of the hill the team
was stopped. When Mr. Anderson
viewed the nice surfacing of straw
berries on the street behind him, he
concluded to try to pick the fruit up,
and continued on into town with the
boys and young misses of the neigh
borhood soon gathered at the -scene,
however, and . enjoyed themselves
thoroughly in the wake of the run
away.
Unbiased spectators say that there,
