Team Wln From tae Oregon
City Firemen.
ASTORIA, Aug. 20. (Special.) The sec
ond day of the regatta opened more auspi
ciously, so far as the weather is con
cerned, than did yesterday. There was
scarcely a breath of wind stirring, and
with a thin veil of clouds obscuring- the
sun sufficiently to prevent the glare of the
water, the conditions for the racing
events -were ideal. Such crowds -were
never present at an Astoria regatta be
foro, and. Judging from the exclamatlono
of delight heard on every 'hand, all are
satisfied and Astoria has every reason to
congratulate herself on the success that
Is now assured. '
The rowing events of the morning were
excellent In spite of the fact that the
water front was so crowded with small
craft that many of the contestants were
Interfered with and some of the races will
have to be rowed over. In fact, the Inter
ference was so great that numerous pro
tests were made and the Judges rserved
their decisions until the evening.
The first water content of the morning
was the gasoline launch race. In which
there were seven entries. It was won by
the Fox. with the Alexander, Jr., second,
and the S. Schmidt third.
Foal Spoils Senior Singles.
The senior shell race followed, and It
was the prettiest contest of the whole re
gatta, although It was afterwards declared
no race. The contestants were Gloss and
Patton, of Portland, and Dcbrlssay, of
Victoria, but Patton droped out soon after
the start, as he was not In condition. Be
tween the other two there was a magnifi
cent struggle from the start until close to
the finish. Shortly after making the turn
Gloss drew nearly a boat length ahead,
but Debrlssay made a spurt and soon cov
ered the greater portion of the gap.
When within 200 feet of the finish line,
with Gloss holding a slight advantage.
Dobrtssay's outrigger collided with the oar
of a small boat and he was compelled to
stop. He entered a protest, which was al
lowed by the Judges, and the race will be
rowed over tomorrow morning. As the
race carries with It the Pacific Coast
championship. It attracts a good deal of
Interest.
In the four-oared barge race between
the. Alameda, South Ends and Ariel crews,
the former won, with the South Ends a
good second.
Portland Far Behind.
The contestants In the four-oared shell
race were the Victoria, Vancouver and
Portland crews, and they finished In the
order named; The struggle was a splendid
one between the two British Columbia
crews, but the Portland boys were left far
behind.
Following this were the Junior and sen
ior cutter races between crews from the
warships. The former was won by the
Concord and the latter by the Marblchead.
The sailing races took place In the af
ternoon, and for them there was an excel
lent breeze. The first one sent off was for
cannery tenders, In which there were
throe entries. The winners were: Frank
Sanborn first. Alex second.
Vmliiie "Win, lmt Is Protented.
The principal sailing race of the day
was the free-for-all sloop race, for
prizes of ?150, f75 and $25. There were
seven entries two from Wlllapa Harbor
and five from Portland. The contest was
won by the Undine, with the Skylark c
ond and the "Wizard a close third. A pro
test has been filed against the Undine on
account of entering Irregularly, but It has
not yet been passed upon.

a narrow margin; time, 0:54 4-5.
DriiKon nnd Attendant n Fonlnre.
The land parade given by the Chinese
residents of the city occurred promptly at
noon, and was a most spectacular affair.
It was headed by Brown's military band,
and comprised the huge Chinese dragon
borne along on the heads of fully 100
Celestials, as well .as an army of China
men dressed In fantastic attire and wear
ing the grotesque headgear in which they
so delight.

Celestials with hearty applause as they
passed.

As two of the largest producers of
shingles tho St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber
Company and the Far West Lumber
Company have not recognized the shin
gle weavers union, and those mills whose
product bears the union stamp would far
from supply the demand during the build
ing season, it is apparent that had the
carpenters recognized the grievance of
the shingle weavers there would have re
sulted a labor struggle which In all prob
ability would have driven the mlllmen to
the necessity of resorting to the retalia
tory measures proposed by the rumored
organization unless they submitted to the
union.
The mlllmen took an aggressive stand
at tho outset. They unhesitatingly gave
out the Information that unless the con
tractors bought their shingles of the boy
cotted mills they could not get any lum
ber either. This naturally led to a closer
understanding among the mlllmen, and
the alliance. It Is believed, was suggested
and would have been put In operation
had not the necessity for It passed by the
carpenters ignoring the boycott on shingles.

JONES MAY LIVE IN SPOKANE.
Believes Chances for Re-Electlon to
CongrcM Will Be Better There.
SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 20. (Special.)
Congressman Wesley 1. Jones, of North
Yakima, is likely to become a permanent
resident of Spokane within the next few
months. Several of Mr. Jones' closest
friends in Spokane are authority for the
statement that he seriously contemplates
making his borne here and that If he
makes the change at all It will be a rea
sonable time before the next state cam
paign, when he will be a candidate for a
fourth term In Congress.
Removal of his residence has been m
Mr. Jones' mind for two years or more, it
Is said. About a year ago he had fully
concluded to make the change and then
something caused hlrrr to Aelay. Now his
closest political friends, not alone in
Spokane but all over Eastern Washington,
are urging lilm to move here and it is
said that he Is once more giving the mat
ter his earnest attention.
Living In Yakima County Mr. Jones Is
constantly threatened with the possibility
that a Spokane man will give him a hard
contest for his seat. Yakima County has
less than 20 votes to trade for him In a
state convention, while Spokane, In ad
dition to being the eccond largest county
In the state, has 4S votes for its cantUdate.
Already three Spokane men have been
mentioned for Congress and each mention
of them causes the hearts, of Mr. Jones'
friends to palpitate. They are: Alonzo M.
Murphy, Samuel R. Stern and Miles Poln
dexter. Mr. Poindexter at least Is be
lieved to be an actual aspirant and the
other two are strong possibilities.

LABOR WAR AVOIDED.
rnroma Snxvmlll Men Threatened to
Combine AKolnut Bnlldinp; Trades.
TACOMA, Wash.. Aug. 20. (Special.)
A labor war which threatened for a time
to Involve the building trades of Ta
:oma has blown over for the present.
A few weeks ago the carpenters of the
city were startled by the announcement,
made in confidence to them by the con
tractors, that a combine had been formed
among the sawmill men looking to an '
agreement not to sell material to any
contractor who employed union labor.
That there Is or was such an organiza
tion is not confirmed by the mlllmen. but
It is asserted by the mlllmen that there
was sound basis for the rumor. although
the carpenters are inclined to the belief
that It was more or less an Invention to
be used as a club in stifling importunate
demands on the part of the carpenters.
However, the date fixed by the contract
Drs August 15 for the taking effect of
the boycott passed without any disturb
ance In he labor situation, and there is
no indication now of any Interruption to
building operations during the remainder
of the season.
To the trouble which the newly organ
ized shingle weavers had experienced In
enforcing recognition of their union Is
ascribed the origin of the threatened boy
cott. After securing entry to the build
ing trades council a right which some of
the other members are Inclined to dispute
the shingle weavers secured the Indorse
ment of that body of a boycott on all
shingles not bearing the union brand.
ThlB would have resulted in a serious
strain on the entente cordlale between
carpenters and contractors. Involving also
the largest producers of shingles In the.
city, had any serious attempt been made
to make it effective. The carpenters' un
ion, however, tacitly repudiated the ac
tion of the building trades council. In
sisting that It had only promised to ex
tend Us moral support to the shingle
weavers. Instructions to that effect hav
ing been given to the carpenters' repre
sentative in the "council. As a result the
carpenters have continued to lay non
union shingles whenever required to do
