This I stated to the President as far back as 1905. I also wrote to Mr. Taft about it that same year. I said tnen l ia vored regulation and publicity, if cou pled with protection, so as to permit the movement of traffic along the lines of least resistance and least cost. This can only be accomplished by co-operation between the railroads and the Gov ernment. Unless the Government is willing to grant one, it should not en force the other." Erie and Gould Deals.

MEETS TOURNEY EXPENSES Directors Decide to Pend Three Crack Player to International Meet to Be Held ' at Everett Next Week. An innovation In the method of hand ling local teams competing in the tourna ments of the North Pacific International Lawn Tennis Association has been adopted by the Irvlngton Tennis Club, of this city, and It Is highly probable that other Individual organizations will follow the example set by the enterpris ing Portlanders. Briefly stated, the Irvlngton Club will defray all expenses of a team of three players to represent the club at the forth coming International tournament which opens at Everett, Wash.. Monday. August 10. the finals being played Wednesday. August 12. Always in past, all Coast local organizations have left it entire with the individual members of their clubs to pay their own expenses includ ing transportation, etc. The players have done so and whatever triumphs have been won have redounded to the credit of the club sending the players even more than to the men themselves. Several of the leading lights in the Irvlngton Club have held that this sys tem was entirely wrong and, for the pur pose of giving the matter fullest dis cussion and consideration, a special meet ing of the directors of the club was held yesterday, with the result that a unan imous vote was cast binding the club to guarantee the expenses of three men to rem-eeent the club at the fifth annual In ternational tournament at Everett. At the- meeting. President J. a Hamilton named the following committee to select the three men who shall defend the honors of the locals at the Everett meet: F. H. V. Andrews, chairman; W. A.

He will reach Tacoma today In time to warm up with Goss for the events in which they are to participate. One of the directors of the Irvlngton Club said last night that it is believed that particularly all the tennis organiza tions In the intvnational association will follow the example of the locals In future tennis meets and that there will be no more hesitancy on the part of crack players entering tournaments in other cities through reluctance at defray ing their own railroad fare and boat's bills when they are playing under club colors and striving for club honors as well as their own.

There was an exciting yacht race on the river at The Oaks Sunday afternoon In which the yacht Dancing Sal was the only one to escape mishap. As a result of the escape that vessel won the race. With an overabundance of wind, which seemed to dare the adventurous, four crack yachts of the Oregon Yacht Club started on a handicap race and only one finished uninjured. A stiff breeze blew a small hurricane, and the daring yachtsmen, instead of turning on a single reef each, decided to pile on extra men for ballast and race full sail. The strain was so great that the Fore'n'Aft was the first yacht to give way. Her halyard parted and Cap tain Todd decided to drop out. Soon afterwards the Corsair, which was lead ing the race, also suffered, but Max Meyer, her skipper, decided to stay in the race. Then the Terror suffered a mishap and was also disabled.
