Motor boat racing on the Willam
ette I'iver is another of the equatic
sports that has come to .stay. No
better proof of this la needed than
the presence of the exceptionally large
fleet that was on hand yeate;-dy aft
ernoon to take part in tha first big
motor boat races held byi the Willam
ette Motor Boat Club. At the start
ing; point, just above Captain Bundy's
baths, the river was literally alive with
motor boats of all classes and descrip
tions, arid these, together with it dozen
or more of the sailors from the Tacht
Club fleet and row boat, gave the
scene a most animated app3arance.
Because the races were the lirst held
under the auspices of the club and be
et, use the game was new to mom of
the club members, there was some de
lay and conf union . in getting the llrsl
bunch of starleiij away. Thvi officials
were quick to note the mistakes and
when it came time to send on the sec
ond set of boms the trick was done
frith clock-like precision.
Tears Hole-in Boat.
Mr. Lecey had entered his new boat
in the scratch ten-mile race and it
was to have been the first serious try
out, but during the warming up pro
cess a nut loosened on the engine and
a part of the gear tore a hole in the
boat.' Fortunate for Mr. I,acey he was
close to shore when this happened and
ho was able to reach a landing in
safety, but not before he had shipped
a great deal of water. The race was
to have been between the Vixen end
the Wolf, both boats having been
built by Mr. Wolf. Mr. Lacey's boat
certainly looks the part of a racer. It
is constructed on speed lines and
equipped with fine engines.
There was a genuine surprise in the
first race, a tcn-minule handicap con
test over a course of two miles. The
boats started in this race, but owing
to the confusion in starting some of
them were , away badly and some
started without waiting for the signal
from Dr. F. n. Dammasch, who did the
Rtarting. Owing to the difference In
time of the handicap no two 'of the
boats were close together at the fin
ish, but the crowd was delighted when
a bit of a toy motor boat, highly pat
riotic in Its coloring of red, white and
blue, called the Silver Heels, driven by
Allen Burdeck. crossed the line a win
ner, making the two miles in 1S:2S.
Within ..a few seconds another boat,
about the same size, called the Honey
Boy, crossed the iine and was placed
second. The Venus was third.
Alnsworth Boat Wins.
J. C. Ainsworth's Rochester, one of
the handsomest motor boats on the
river, won the four-mile event. The
same boat was entered in the eight
mile race, but the engine became
cranky and the driver lost several min
utes cooling his engine. In this race
all three of the boats were oie up
at the finish, the Rochester, driven by
Harry Bell. . crossing the line about 8
seconds ahead of the Mercedes, driven
by Henry Larsen. The Happy Heinle
was third. The racing time of the
Rochester over the four-mile course
was 26 minutes and 0 seconds.
The Happy Heinie, driven by . Otto
Ranft, furnished the excitement and
proved the winner of the eight-mile
race. During the races, the Happy
Heinie, with a noise like a rapid-firing
gun, tore up and around the starting
point, to the delight of the crowd, and
no one was surprised to see the boat
do all kinds of fancy stunts in the
finish of the eight-mile race. They did
not realize, however, that the engine
of the Happy Heinie had torn itself
loose and was trying to jump over
board and get a rest. Yet this was
so. and but for a lot of racing luck
and courage, the boat would have fin
ished. Boat Makes "Had Finish.
When the racers were sighted from
the finishing point, the Sterling was
in the lead, with the Happy Heinie and
the Kittle close up. Suddenly the
Happy Heinie was eeen to shoot out
of the course into the middle of the
river and then duck and dodge like a
football player. Finally the boat was
headed for the finish, and in spite of
losing so much ground, finished in
front of the Sterling by several
lengths. It was not until Ranft got
his boat to the judges' stand that It
was discovered what had bothered the
driver. The boat was so badly out of
commission that it had to be towed
back home. The feat of finishing with
a disabled boat of the Happy Heinle
type, going at top speed, was a game
performance.
When the Wolf was put out of com
mission, the Vixen started for an ex
hibition trial. The boat was in charge
of Mrs. Wolf, and would have made
fast time over the eight-mile course
but for the fact that Mrs. Wolf found
it necessary to slow up ort account of
driftwood in the channel. 'The Vixen
covered the eight miles in 32 minutes
and 42 seconds.
The officials of the races were: Dr.
F. II. Dammasch, starter; George Kin
near, formerly commodore of the Pitts
burg Motor Boat Club; A. Flemming
and Robert Obertuesser, Judges, and
L. M. Myer, timer.

SAX FRANCISCO, June 21. (Spe
cial.) The Beavers squared themselves
for their slump of the week by tearing
into the Commuters today and copping
off the double-header without turning
a hair. Portland played as it never
played before here this season, and the
work in the field and at the bat came
pretty near being the perfect stuff.
The morning game was a grand, old
time slugging affair, which went ten
innings. Portland took the lead with
four runs at the outset, but, with Haley
on second in the fourth, Heine Heit
muller knocked the ball over the cen
terfield fence and Truck Eagan came
right back with one which cleared the
right-field fence. Portland gathered
two more before the ninth, but Oak
land swung in with three, making it a
deadlock. However, the Beavers ral
lied again in the tenth, and four hits,
including Madden's second triple, put
three runs over, and th game was
broken up for fair.
A big crowd was on the job in the
afternoon and the Portland victory
seemed to please everybody but Van
Haltren and his Commuters. Bobby
Grooln had everything and the Oaks
never figured to get a run off him.
In the meantime McCredie had his men
working the squeeze play. It went
with so much effect that six out of
the eight runs were made on bunts.
Hardy was hammered out of the box
in the sixth and McFarland finished
the game.
Pearl Casey wait struck in, the face
with a foul tip from the bat of Danzig,
in the morning gHme, and painfully in
jured. He will not be able to play for
several days. Scores:

TAXATION
We have heretofore discussed problems In which the Interest of
the public and that of the company are mutual; we propose now to
discuss the question of taxation, in which these interests may seem
to conflict. There is always more or less agitation over corporate
' taxation, and this will probably continue until, by a clear presenta
tion of the facts, we can raily public opinion to a fair point of view.
FIRST OF ALL WE STATE:
(a) Street railway companies in the United States pay a higher
tax per dollar of income than any other exteasive industry known,
except liquor and tobacco manufacturers.
b) That the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company of
Portland PAID BY WAY OF TAXES (and charges in the nature of
taxes) about ?300',000.00 in the year 1907.
(c) THAT THE PORTLAND RAILWAY. LIGHT & POWER COM
PANY PAYS PROPORTIONALLY AS LARGE TAXES, AND MUCH
LARGER THAN MOST. AS ANY STREET RAILWAY COMPANY IN
THE UNITED STATES.
(if That the figures will show that the city and state recelva
from the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company the equivalent
of ALL FARES COLLECTED FROM ONE CAR IN SIX, after deduct
ing the actual cost of running such car.
Figures prepared in this office show that the company pays an
average of about 13 per cent of its gross and 35 per cent of Its net,
compared with 6.3 per cent gross and J3.9 per cent net average for
cities of 500.000 population or over; that Is to say, the Portland Rail
way Light & Power Company pays in taxes about $123,000.30 mora
per annum than the average of cities of the same or greater popula
tion. A writer in the Yale Law Review (August, 1899, page 173), In
summing up the situation, said:
"IN PRACTICE THE TAXATION IN DIFFERENT LOCALITIES
VARIES GREATLY, AS WE HAVE SEEN. AND REACHES ALL
ALONG FROM THE ENTIRE TAX EXEMPTION, ON THE ONE
HAND, TO OPPRESSIVE TAXATION (WELL NIGH CONFISCATION)
ON THE OTHER.
It is a fact that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company
pays taxes and charges In the following, amongst other forms: (1)
privilege of cpossing briages; (2) taxes upon its power-houses, car
barns and other valuable real estate at the same rate as a citizen;
(3) taxes on its tracKS, which are assessed as real estate; (4) city
ordinance payments; (5) taxes on its franchises; (6) cost of street
paving and bridge assessments, and for the repair of streets between
and beside its tracks, notwithstanding the fact that this requirement
Is Klniply a survivor of horserar dys, Tvbrn the company's horses
hammered the tracks. Today, with electricity, no injury Is done to
the streets by the cars, and yet tne company continues to pay for the
repairs made necessary by carts and wagons which wear out its
tracks and adjacent street surface.
We do not ask for unreasonable reductions, but do ask to be let
alone until we "catch lip," and want to impress you with this
thought: The strpetrar tm the poor nian'A carriage, and the means of
relieving him of the ne-essity of dwelling In the congested portion
of the city near his place of work. Tux the carriage loo heavily and
you impair its efficiency. Furthermore, it should be remembered that
there is hardly a savings bank in the city, where the man of modest
means keeps his money, which is not largely Interested in the securi
ties of our company. What difference does a fraction of a cent a year
make to you when compared with your dally convenience in regu
larity and efficiency of service? And is it not true that every dollar
of tax bevond a living rate is a tax on efficiency and good service?
To any man who thinks accurately, it must be clear that an unfair
burden impairs the company's ability to meet the various problems,
such as the rush-hour difficulty. It Is also clear that if you cripple
the company's financial power, you seriously interfere with its
ability to lead in the development of the city and its suburbs.
FINALLY: It is to the interest of every citizen to. see that he
gets good service at reasonable rates, and that money which should
be devoted to this purpose Is not diverted to excessive taxation. Over
ti nnil nn.l r,n hnvo hppn enptit on tliA nrnnertv in the, last vear for
betterments and extensions, and the system of free transfers saves the
traveling public about $400,000.00 per annum assuming that all pas
sengers who now ride on free transrers wouia oe wining to pay nm
price formerly charged therefor and which is permitted in many other
large cities.
The first man up in the game got a
single oft Baker and the next one came
after two were out in the ninth. The
youngster struck out eight, including the
best sluggers on the Seattle team. He
had gcod control for a south paw. his
three bases on balls coming at times
when they did no damage. Rush pitched
grand ball for the Slwashes. making the
affair a splendid pitchers' duel. Burnett's
triple, followed by a muff of a thrown
ball by Stanley, gave Tacoma its only
run in the fourth. The Tigers played
a perfect game in the field. The score:
Tacoma 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 4 0
Seattle 0 0000000 0-0 -2 3
