A largo crowd gathered on the bridge and at the boathouse on the East Side to wit ness the finishes. Most of the contests were close. Each crew made a hard fight for victory, and most of the winners had very little lead when the end of the courejj was reached. There was a stiff wind blowing up the river, and the rowers were compelled to iaco It from first to last. It not only Sundered them in the use of their oars, but made the water rough. The contes tants did not heed this, however, and with but one or two exceptions all got through "Without Leing swamped. In the fenioi doubles, the boat of R, X. Bell and L. Stiles was capsized, and this race was declared off. It will be rowed over iext Saturday. In the senior singles. Scott's boat was capsized about half way along the course.

The former Is from the Closset & Devers Company, while the latter represents Flelschner, Mayer & Co. Interest never flagged, as both were well matched, but the Golden Wests tri umphed at last, the score standing 21 to 18 in their favor. Until near the close it was nobody's game. Especial mention is due Pitcher Mclunls, of the Golden "Wests, for level-headed. cool work throughout, to whom his team gave much of the credit for the victory. Pitcher Schwartz, for the Munt Hoods, also did effective work and won praise. The fielding of both teams was good, but hardly up to the standard of the Mult nomahs. The personnel of the Golden "West team was McRea, Digman. E. Stark, Phillips, J. Stark, Mclnnls. Brede meler, Johanneson and L. Stark. The players of the Mount Hoods were Gerstle, Schwartz. Ivahn, Nye. Mulky, Douglas, Foley, Hirsch and Goldsmith. Shot Himself in the Hand. Percy Caffee, a 19-year-old East-Slder, shot himself in the hand while flourhlng a revolver at the corner of East Eighth and East Madison streets Thursday even ing. It la reported that Percy was lying in wait for a rival, who had taken his best g'rl away on last Sunday's excursion. In fact, a little boy who saw the accident eas Percy was in the act of demonstrat ing what ho would do to the other fellow when the pistol was discharged. The bul let did not stop at Percy's hand, however, but crashed through a window of C D. Ott's dwelling, near by, and lodged in the celling, narrowly missing the head of an elderly woman In Its course. Some of the neighbors whom Caffee has been annoy ing hope the incident will serve to Im prove his conduct. Foresters to Attend Church. The Foresters of America will attend re ligious serlces this evening at Calvary Presbyterian Church. This is Memorial day for the order, and, ae usual, members observe the occasion by attending church, where appropriate services are held. Rev. W. S. Gilbert, pastor of the church, will adapt the evening sen-Ices to the occa sion. All the members of the local courts will assemble at their respective halls, where the officers will bedeck themselves In the lodge regalia, and thence all will proceed In a body to the church, at the corner of Eleventh and Clay streets. Services begin at 7:45 P. M. A large number are expected, as the order Is quite numerous in Portland. To Collect Bicycle Tax. Ten outside deputies will be placed In the field Monday morning by Sher iff Frazler to enforce the collection of the bicycle tax, which Is now delinquent. Yesterday there wae a rush of wheelmen to the Sheriff's offlce, and E00 tags were disposed of. The County Commissioners have extended the time for the collection of general taxes for ISO for S3 days, and will positively close the roll en July 10. Taxes have been coming !n freely of late, but there Is eilll much money due. If taxpayers do not delay they will avoid a final rush. A number of large taxpayers have already liquidated. OAT tor Philadelphia. H. E. Ankeny, ore of the Oregon dolegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention, came down from Jacksonville yesterday. He stayed In Portland last night, and will leave today for Philadelphia. He wore a badge which was presented to him at Eugene. It was made of ribbon, on which was printed. "Oregon 12.000 Republican majority." This was fastened by a Vol unteer souvenir button. Mr. Ankeny says re supposes he Is on his way to Philadel phia to indorse the work already done, tut adds that he may have occasion to do otherwk. Funeral of "William Hceltvrltn. William Beckwlth. who died Thursday on the East Side, resided In Portland for the last 14 years. Ho was one of the pioneers of Pana. 111., having removed there from New Hampshire about ISSL Colonel F. M. Malone, an old friend from Pana, was present at the funeral, apd acted. & one of the pall-bcarerc. Mr. Beckwlth had been In failing health fr some time. The end came peacefully on June 7. The deceased leaves a widow, who has been greatly afflicted for some time with partial paralysis, and two sons, William and Lewis. The funeral services were conducted on Saturday at 2 P. M. from the family residence by Rev. rcay aimer. Excavating for Nevr Building:. The- excavation for the new four-story brick building of the Falling estate, south east comer of Third and "Washington streets, would have undermined the brick wall of the Ludwig Wilhelm building on the south, had not precautions been taken to prop it up by Mr. Wilhelm. This por tion of the excavation was dug away In narrow sections, and stout 6x8 timbers placed perpendicularly under the wall, being wedged up so as not to permit of the least settling. The brick wall, which has heretofore rested on the surface of the ground, will now rest on these per pendicular timbers, and when the stone basement wall of the Failing building has been constructed, earth will be tamped about the timbers and the old wall will be considered as solid as ever. Many bystanders were curious yesterday to know who pays for securing the Wil helm wall, as it would have been all right If the excavation had not been made in the lot adjoining. The owner of the wall Is supposed to take care of .i his own expense, as the property-owners adjoining have the right to make any improvements on their own land which they see fit. Mr. Wilhelm. therefore, made no objection to the undermining of his wall, and personally superintended its strengthening himself. Settlement Authorized. Judgo Cako yesterday authorized Alice Gibson, administratrix de bonis non of the estato of E. J. Partridge, deceased, to compound a pJm against G. M. Weister, former administrator, for $2429, by accept ing $875. In February, 1S9S, judgment was obtained in the Circuit Court against Weister for $45G0, and his sureties on ap peal to the Supreme Court James H. Mc Kibben, W. J. Hunter, E. H. Moorehouse, Frank E. Ferris. Emma H. Wesco, H. Hicks, F. L Fuller and W. A. Currie. The judgment ran against McKlbben for 5250, and against Hunter, Moorehouse and Fer ris for $1000. By credits allowed by the court the judgment was reduced to $4143, and Wolstor paid $1715, leaving a balance of $2429. The administratrix, in a petition, states that the sureties and Weister are unablo to pay, and one of the sureties is dead, and she has been offered 5S75. The creditors, 15 In number, filed notice of consent to the settlement. This case has been in court about five years. "Work on Cnstoni-House. The force engaged on the new Custom House has been reduced to 20 men, and these are employed In trimming up the interiors and the pavement, as the con tract of the Bentley Construction Com pany has practically been finished. Con tracts have not yet been let for the In terior finishing, doors, windows, elevators, lighting, heating apparatus, etc, but it is thought that all these details will be completed within 12 months from date. When the S-foot board fence has been cleared away and the temporary buildings are removed, the new Custom-House will present a finished appearance without and within. The 15-foot cement sidewalk is in position all around the block except on a portion of the north and east sides, where Belgian paving stones have been set, to resist the wear and tear of heayy teams hauling bonded goods to and from the building. The pavement of the court will be of cement, but will be a part of some future contract. Broke a Boy's "Wheel. Fired Powell, a 14-year-old lad, who was riding a wheel along First street, near Washington, yesterday noon, was run into by a wheelman, who came up behind. The man In his rage stamped on the boy's wheel and broko the rim of the hind wheel Into bits, after which he mounted his own bike and rode away. A large crowd gathered Immediately, and the way the man was denounced boded 111 for him physically, had he been pres ent, as several bystanders witnessed the affair and were not bashful In telling the crowd about It. Some of the spectators contributed small contributions toward the repair of the boy's wheel. The lad lives near East Twelfth and Powell streets. Spoils a Pleasant Drive. The White House road cannot be called a pleasant drive yet. as a portion of Mac adam street leading Into It from the city Is In bad shape, a fresh covering of loose, broken rocks rendering it almost Impassable. The Multnomah Driving As sociation therefore has not felt justified in sprinkling tho road, and will not do so until the 'Macadam part of the route has been rendered passable. The con tractors, SmyYh & Howard, prom ise that the street will be finished within two weeks or so. In the meantime, those who go out on that line for a drive should expect to encounter a very unpleasant section of road. Quick "Work of Fire Department. Fire broke out In the attic of the Ore gon Furniture Company's building, 207 Front street, at S:30 yesterday morning, and there was a good chance for a bhr blaze, had not the department responded promptly to a telephone alarm. Hose 2 and chemical 2 were "on the ground be fore the fire gained much headway, and speedily extinguished the flames, after chopping their way through th rof with axes. It is thought the fire started from sparks which nad blown iu be tween celling and roof from a near-by smokestack. "incorporation. Articles of Incorporation of the Su preme Society of the Knights and Ladles of Benevolence were filed In the County Clerk's office yesterday. The incorporat ors are William Young, J. J. Johnson, J. "M. Coon, Henry Jacques and J. G. Nash. The objects announced are to develop the mental and physical capacities and ad vance the sociability and benevolence of members, to opurate gymnasiums, pleas ure grounds, educational institutions, as sist members, etc TO BE OPENED SOON. Hie Rush of Settlers Expected at Colvllle Reservation. G. A. Robinson, a mining man of Ket tle River. Stevens County, Wash., who is now In Portland, thinks there will be a big rush of settlers Into the south half ot the ColviUe reservation, when it is thrown open, August 10. The whole res ervation, he says, m has been open for mining men for some years, and sev eral prosperous camps have been estab lished along tho banks of the Columbia and Okanogan Rivers, opposite the re serve The Cohille reservation is a square body of land, bounded on the north by the British line, on the east and south by the Columbia River, which makes a square turn at its southeast corner, and on the west by the Okanogan River. Tho reservation measures about 75 miles each way, and Is, therefore, as large as a good sized county. The Indians are few in number, and are mostly gathered on the Nespllum, so they have very little use for such a vast territory. "The south half about to be thrown open to whites," said Mr. Robinson yes terday, is a fine grazing and mining region, with frequent tracts of gently roll ing hills, well adapted to cultivation. Lumber abounds over its entire area, sufficient for the needs of the settlers who will congregate there, while a good many prospect holes along the Okanogan will soon be developed into rich silver and copper producers. "Quite a number of homeseekers from the East, who had intended to come to Oregon or Washington, have heard of the Colvllle reservation at Spokane, and, after examining Into the merits of the country, decided that it was good enough for tlKin, so they will be on hand whon the rusa for good locations begins next month."

Council Crest Is the highest point in the vicinity of Portland Heights, and commands a magnificent view on all four points of the compass. The crowd that had arranged to take In. this moonlight picnic rode to tho Heights in the cable cars and then foote it tha mile and a half further to the Crest. The affair was gotten up by j several leading members of the Mazamas, In honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Steel, wose re cent wedding the Mazamas thought should be accentuated by some joyous i Incident appropriate to the mountaln-cllabers, of whom iMr. Steel is ex-president. As tho sun went down in a laze of glory, the little party gathered n mute admiration of the matchless scene.

The lone talked of organization of log gers waa perfected last evening in the Commercial Cub rooms, under tho title of the Columbia River Logging Associa tion, S. Benson, of Oak Point, being chosen president, and L. H. Brlggs, of Portland, secretary. About 73 per cent of the entire output of the Columbia and tributaries waa represented, and a num ber of letters were received from absent loggers, acquiescing in the action of the meeting. Although tho business of the organiza tion is kept secret, tho object Is known to bo tho regulation of the output of fir logs in order to guard against overpro duction. Many new logging camps have started up this season, and there is some danger of a fall In price, though the ex pense ctf getting out logs has increased of late years, on account of the growing dis tance from navigable streams. Loggers have complained for some time that they are not making enough at tho present prices to justify tho Investment in timber lands and the expenses of operation. At the meeting- last evening, everything passed off harmoniously, and steps will now bo taken to include all the loggers in the district in tho association.

P5 vmir item anent bicycle pahts in to tters issue, you say that a block In the HT Is equal to a mile in the country, as t&rds costs of construction, urns ma true if the paths were to be built on "irif Ptreete. but you 'must remembei lliit rhtv are needed roosc on unpaved Pttts. Take Larapfi street as an ex- J ample of the, streets most In need of paths. How it should cost more to bul'.a a path on this street than on a country road is a puzzle- to me. The only extra expense would be a guard rail to prevent teams from using the path. The proper place for city paths is the street, not the sidewalk, and most etreeta are wide enough to admit of their con struction and still leave plenty or room for tesms and street-cars, provided the streets are In any sort of decent shape. We wheelmen have been told often enough j of our sins, and led to believe that we are only allowed to exist on sufferance. If we have no right to the sidewalks, we certainly have to the streets, and it Is high time we had a certain portion of j them given over to our exclusive use. Then tnis constant friction between wheelmen and pedestrians would cease, and we could leave all the scrapping to the team sters and street-car men. J. T. D. EASTERN MULTNOMAH. Effort to Raise a. Batterr at Gresham Other Hatters. GRESHAM, Or., June 9. An effort Is being made to secure a section of Battery A, O. N. G for Gresham. Tho promoter of the scheme is EL P. Smith, who ia in communication with the authorities con cerning the matfer, and he is confident the plan will be a success. He has organized a company of 15, the requisite number, and Is in hopes of being admitted to the bat tery, with headquarters here. He says tho company will probably be allowed ono field piece and other accoutermente, the section, to be commanded by a captain, who will be under orders from the colo nel of the regiment Tho company will be ready to organize and begin drills as soon as full arrangements are made.. Closing: Exercises. The Gresham public school closed today, with a picnic in Powell Grove and ap propriate exercises.

Closing exercises of tho Bridal Veil pub lic school took place on Wednesday, with four graduates for diplomas Carrie Nel son, Mary Tuscher, Harry Nelson and Walter Norton. A splendid programme was rendered, under the supervision of the teacher, Miss Horton. The petition and map for free mall de livery at Gresham and Its vicinity was mailed to Representative Moody yester day. Tho territory to be served was lar ger than at first reported, and will cover about 18 fiquare miles. Thera Is scarcely any doubt that the service will be se cured. Several tralnloada of young cattle have recently passed over the O. R. & N. for points In Eastern Oregon. They came from California, where the pasturage has given cut and will be returned here next Fall for beef. The planing mill of the Bridal Veil Lumbering Company Is now running day and night to fill extra orders for lumber, which is being shipped to the East Jacob Holgate, of Alsea, Or., is visiting the family of his son near here.
