' TKE MOEmNG OREGCXNIAN, SATURDAY, aXJGTJST 2o, 19001 PARE BEST SCULLER A Novice Gave Him Hardest Race of His Life. GOOD SPORT AT ASTORIA REGATTA Favorable Weatner and 2Cumerou Succeful "Water Events Large Crowd in Attendance. ASTORIA, Or.. Aug. 24. The second flay at the regatta opened much" more auspi ciously than did the first one. although the sky "was overcast and showers -were fre quent during; the morning: hours. In the afternoon the clouds broke away some what and there Is overy Indication that tomorrow will be pleasant and afford en excellent opportunity for pulling: off the field games, which are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. At an early hour this morning: the grandstand and wharves along the city front were lined with crowds of expectant spectators and not withstanding the unpleasant climatic con ditions they were entertained with a series of hard-fought races as well as numerous amusing aquatic sports. San Francisco Scnller Champions. The first race on the programme and the one In which the greatest Interest was settled was that by which the Pa cific Coast amateur championship for sin gle sculls was decided and a novice was found who gave the champion the race of Ills life. It was an open event and there -were four entries. Although the contest "was oxpected to be between "W. J. Pat ton, of Portland, champion of the Pacific Northwest, and 'Alexander Pape. of San .Francisco, champion of California, It proved otherwise. The entries were Pat ton and Gloss, of Portland, and Pape and Sternberg, of San Francisco. It was a race on Its merits and for tunately there was no claim of a foul or of Interference. "With some delay at the start the four got away evenly and were soon disappearing In the hazy distance. Patton kept close to the middle sands, followed by Sternberg, while Pape and Gloss rowed near the wharves. In this Patton used good judgment, but ho ran too for oup In the river and lost time In rounding his stake boat, though the end showed that this had no material effect on the result as Sternberg followed practically the same course and beat him easily. Patton was undoubtedly over trained. Though he pulled a good even stroke throughout the race, he did not do himself Justice. Pape and Gloss fought to the turning stakes wit.h their shells rounding about the same Instant, though the former was slightly In the load, but the other con ditions were not exactly even, as Pape was watching Patton. who was far away to the north and whom he deemed the dangerous man in the race, while Gloss knew Pape was the one he had to beat. Soon after the turn Pape realized that the man who could beat Gloss could beat Pat ton, and then followed as hotly a contested race between these two as was ever wit nessed. Pape had nearly a length ad VTuitage and tried to shake Gloss off by & spurt, but he could not and It was a fight at every stroke. Hard-Foncht Finish. .is they neared the finish both men allowed signs of a collapse, with Pape stll about a length ahead. Gloss spurted with all his remaining strength and Pape did not appear to answer but their relative positions remained the same. As the gun announced the finish the bow of Gloss boat just lapped the stem of Pape's and the former fell out of his shell thoroughly exhausted, but he grabbed the overturned craft and was .soon picked up. Pape rowed to the float and was helped to his dressing-room whero he was In a state of absolute exhaustion for some minutes. Afterwards, he said Gloss had given him the hardest race of his life and predicted for Gloss the cham pionship of the Coast, If he would keep on rowing. Thirty seconds after Pape, Sternberg crossed the line a-long distance ahead of Patton, and he received second prise, as Gloss failed to finish. The course was one and one-naif miles with a turn and the time announced was 11 minutes and 39 seconds. Other Sports of the Morning;. The next event called was between junior outrigger skiffs, with Lewis, of the Alamodas, and ICrlgness, of the Dolphins, entered. Lewis was an easy winner as was expected. The third contest was between Ayers, of the Alamedas, and Baker, of the Dol phins, In the first heat of the senior outrigger skiffs. Ayers won quite hand ily. The only other rowing event of the morn ing was the exhibition double pleasure boat race between two crews of the Ala meda Rowing Club. It was a prettlly contested event and was won by George "YV. Ayors and Fred Lewis. During the short Intermission between the rowing events the spectators were entertained by high diving exhibitions, slack-wire walking over the water, and a capsizing drill by the life-saving crews. The 23-yard swimming race between James A. Geddes and Ed Smith, the Cal ifornia champions, for a medal, was a dead heat, and will be contested again to morrow. "The sailing races began this afternoon with the contest between fishing boats with working sails. There were 15 en tries and with a very strong wind blowing ; tiie working sails were all that they could have carried safely. The start was from an anchor and the first boat in was the one sailed by Herman Heuttan, with Chris Ness second and J. H. Bergland third. The winning boat was a new one and this was Its llrst race. Bergland was the captain of the fishboat which won two years ago and Ness was in charge Of the winner last year. The sloop races, free-for-all, and the 20 footere were sailed at the same time. The former was twice around the course of seven and one-half miles and the latter "was once around. Both contests were very pretty and the way the sloops were han dled showed skillful work by their cap tains. After time allowances had been deducted it was shown that the Lark, of Portland, had won the 50-footer race, and the "White Wings, of "Wlllapa, had cap tured the prize in the free-for-all contest. The Muriel, of Portland, received the second prize in each race. In the contest between the gasoline launohes. the C H. Alter, the scratch boat, won by several minutes, with the HeMer second. There was five entries In the "Whitehall sailing race but the Cleo carried sail when the others almost swamped and crossed the Hne full of water. Nace Grant was second and he was nearly drowned when t launch picked him up as he passed the Judges' boat. A large number of the best athletes on the Coast have arrived for tomorrow's i field games and some records will prob ably be broken If the weather conditions are favorable. Vancouver's School Bonds.

Contributes to Anarchy. Harper's "Weekly. Far be it from us to intimate thatiny American citizen worthy of the namo holds the crime of BressI in anything but abhorrence. Far be it from us even to suggest that for this crime there is any political responsibility In this coun try hut we do Invite our readers to con sider In this connection the fact that a contributing factor to the forces of an archy are the politicians who preach the gospel of discontent. The man who travels about the land stirring up a feeling of unrest among the people contributes in some proportion, slight or considerable, to the anarchistic cause. He may not mean to do so, but that he does so is as clear to the logical mind as that two and two make four. Tho anarchist has no use for law, and he hates those who administer it. Hla constant effort is to discredit those who protect society against his Infractions of tho principles by which all civilised com munities must be governed. A court of Justice in his mind is the outward and visible sign of the tyranny which he claims to exist; he objects to the inter ference of the Judiciary between the rights of his fellow-citizens and his own desgns upon them. In Memory of a War Horse. London Dally Mall. The finest church at Posen, -on the enstern border of Prussia, was built by Frederick the Great.

Close by a bloody conflict occurred between the King and the Russians, asd the former, al ways In the thick of the fight, had his charger killed under him a sturdy ani mal that had borne him throughout many battles. He felt the Joy of victory to be modified by the loss of the horse, and put up to Its memory the famous church in question. Forests of Canaries. Chicago Tribune. There is more melody In Andreasburg.

In less than a month after the lands had been sold, a reversal of the former ruling of the Land Department was se cured, and it Tvas held that the state might use the surveyed sections as base. But the lands were gone. The decision recalling and vacating this ruling was made by Acting Secretary Ryan, January 30, 1S99, Secretary Bliss then being tfye head of the department. The question -was presented by a motion by the State of California for a review of the former decision. The State of Oregon teing also interested, filed a brief through its Attorney-General, C. M. Idle man. It was urged "that by reason of the Inclusion and isolation of. the land in sections 16 and 36 within the boundaries of the reservation, tho state is practi cally precluded from either leasing or sell ing it. or deriving revenue therefrom In any manner for the use of the public schools, and that thus, unless it can surrender the same and take other land in lieu thereof, the state's grant of lands for school purposes will, In this and many similar Instances, suffer 3erlous substaur tlal loss; also, on the other hand, that should the state succeed in selling or leasing such and similar tracts, its ven dees or lessees would have necessarily a right of way over the reservation, thus destroying the integrity of the same and subjecting tho territory within Its boun daries to a divided jurisdiction a condi tion which would' seriously obstruct and interfere with the purposes of the reser vation and probably be fruitful of con fusion and controversies jxowing out of the attempts of the state and Federal authorities to administer their respective laws." The opinion says that these are im portant considerations, and to bo borne In mind in interpreting the law. It Is then held that the words "before the sur vey" should not be read into the law where they do not appear; that the law does not contemplate divesting tho state of title to land, but an exchange for other land, the state being desirous of making a selection; and that it was evi dently the intent of Congress to give the state the right to select t other land in lieu of any school section embraced within the reserve. This decision .having been rendered, the rules were amended to correspond there with, and the state was thereafter per mitted to select lieu lands, using sur veyed school sections in the reserve as a base. The records in the land office do not show the names of persons who paid the money or presented the applications for the purchase of land. One of the clerks in the office states that the money was sometimes paid In person and sometimes sent through a bank or express company. "When applications were presented in proper form the certificates of sale were given to the man, express company, or bank, that paid the money. As' the land passed out of the owner ship of the state, of course the records in the land office do not show how much has been used in the selection of timber lands, but the eagerness with which tim ber lands have been taken wherever pos sible gives assurance that the owners of the surveyed school sections have not held them any longer than It took them to find desirable timber land. Soon after the sales of the surveyed sections began, State Land Agent T. W. Davenport protested against the sales and urged that the lands be held until they could be used as base. He put his pro test In the form of a letter to Governor Lord, and this letter having been turned over to Clerk Odell, the latter official ad dressed a reply to Governor Lord. These letters do not appear to be a matter of record In tho land offices, and no copy of Davenport's letter can be found. The reply by Odell Is a statement of his reasons for selling the land, which were about the same as given herein. Mr. Davenport's first objection to the sale of the1 lands was made to a deputy, In the absence of the Clerk. The matter was referred to Clerk Odell by telegraph, and that official replied that unless the board Had changed the rule, the law would be followed. Sales were therefore continued. Tho accompanying list shows all the sales of school land now comprised within the forest reserve. The address of appli cants cannot be ascertained from l the records, but tiro county in which the ap plication was acknowledged will usually determine the address.

DAILAS. Aug. 24. There, is consider- able contention between the hoppickers and the growers here, ther pickers con tending for 40 cents per box. while the j growers think-35 cents enough. Some say they will bring their pickers from abroad and will not pay 40 cents, and the pick ers firmly declare that they will not pick for less. The chances are- that 40 cents will be the price, as sqme of the growers have already yielded. The demand for labor in this community 1s greatly Increased by the prune crop, which comes on tho same time as the hops, and creating a scarcity of pick ers. Four cents to 5 cents per bushel will be paid for picking- prunes, which is about equal to 40 cents for hops. Threshing is now being rounded up, and will be entirely finished, by tomorrow. Tha yield of grain is not more than BO per cent.but of very good quality. Many farmers are now talking of more diversi fied farming, devoting their land to clo ver and the tamo grapes, and tha pro duction of more dairy products, hogs, beef, etc The general opinion among farmers is that Oregon is on the eve of an agricultural revolution, and that wheat will be relegated to a second place. In this section, it is contended that fruit will hold a very Important place In the, products of the farm, as it is now shown that here is the home of the Fellenberg prune, as well as all other fruits of this climate.

Flossio was a big. good-natured, smooth-haired St. Bernard not a regis tered animal, nor known to fame, but oC pretty nearly pure breed, and worth her weight in gold, if you could taka her owner's word for it. He would fill a big bucket with, water at the pump and say to her, "Take this to Ned." or "Take this to Tom."" naratas one of the two horses In the stable, 100 feet away. She would grab the handle between her teeth and trot away. Flossia watered the horses regularly, and never made the mistake of giving to one what had been confided to her for tho other. She was greatly excited one day at see ing Tom, in a frisky mood, roll over on. the lawn. She Imitated the trick at once, and always after that when her owner would say. "Now Flossie, do as Tom does." she would roll over without tho slightest hesitation. One night Flossia was left with a friond in tha village, and was- locked in a stable, which had ono good-sized window over looking a chicken yard, owned by a widow who lived next door. A little after midnight, a couple of colored men took a notion to rob this chicken yard. They had got down to work when all of a sudden there was a terrific crash, and a big body lighted squarely on the back oC one of the thieves. Flossie had Jumped through the window, carrying- with her both the glass and the sash. How badly the thieves were hurt was never learned, for they got away, but there were marks of blood on the torn coat that one oC them left behind. They got no chickens that night. The dog's master was so tickled that he paid the bill for replacing the window without saying a word. Planted Pine a Success.
