The experience otf six years has taught
iry lessons how to receive and enter-
gain tho many thousand people who come
liere to onjoy the carnival. As an lllus-
iatlon of this, two years ago it was eug-
ssted to tho committee of that year that
lag-rolling contest would be interesting.

ment that it is now a regular event. The
scire could be said of deep-sea diving, in
ir'rh a man sits on the bottom of the
Iver, has boards, hammer and nails sent

It is to see boys try to walk out on a
eased pole extended over the river.

the favorites, and any one who under
stands what It Is to see a good crew at
work would travel miles to see them make
their boat cleave the water on their
final spurt.
The single scull race Is of the most im
portance, as it will decide the amateur
championship of the Pacific Coast Alex
Pape, of San Francisco, is the champion
of California, and oarsmen there believe
that no man. either amateur or profes
sional, can beat him at a mile and a halt
with a turn or straight away. He was
at the Astoria regatta two years ago ana
easily won every event in which he en
tered. At that time he was rowing in
an outrigger skiff, but has now taken to
a shell. The man whom he comes up
to beat Is Patton, of Portland, the cham
pion of the Pacific Northwest, a man who
outclasses the scullers of the north as
Pape does those of the south. There will
probably be half a dozen entries for this
race, but the real contest will be between
these two. Thirty oarsmen will be here
from San Francisco, which gives some
idea of the interest taken in the regatta
at the Bay city.
While the water sports will be almost
continuous during the three days, the
"5cp ""TXJ-3QirifeL' ---;-;' lTTrcj"':f???!Tj- T"'' "
same can be said of those on land, and
the sanction of the Pacific Northwest As
sociation has been secured to hold a
series of amateur athletic events. This
was expected to be a sharp contest be
tween the traok teams of tho Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club, of Portland, and
the Olympic Club, of San Francisco, both
of which have been in active training
for some time for the meet. The com
mittee, however, has already received
other entries, which may change the
complexion of the results. Paris, the ne
gro sprinter of Seattle, has forwarded
his entry through tho Seattle Athletlo
Club, and If he is in the form that he
was last year it is very doubtful if there
is an amateur on the Coast that can beat
him in the sprints. Davis, of Seattle, the
half-mile and mile champion of Puget
Sound, will also come and take his
chances at winning a few races. Duke
D. Knott, of the University of Oregon,
has also, sent In his entry for the pole
vault, jumps and hurdles. With all these
contesting, there should be some rare
sport.
Astoria is always known as a "wide
open" city, but it Is never more so than
during regatta week. Every taste can
be gratified, even to witnessing a prize
fight every night, for a small fee to the
victorious pugilist. This year every one
will be compelled to hitch up his trousers
and touch his cap to Admiral Edwards,
of Portland, as he has been appointed to
that position by the regatta committee,
and his pennant will float over the flag
ship of the squadron. Subject to the
command of the Queen, he will be in
supreme control of all tho acquatic
sports.
The average spectator takes very little
interest in sitting in tho grandstand and
watching a number of -sailboats pass by '
unless they have a personal Interest in j
them. This would soon grow tiresome '
were it not for the variety of events
given at the same time. One race is
started immediately after another, and
at one time there are a half dozen in
progress. In addition to this there is a
constant series of high-diving contests,
swimming races, tub races, and every
conceivable water sport that is amusing,
even to swimmers trying to catch a '
duck. This looks easy, but the duck is i
seldom caught. I
The Cnrntvnl Prosrnmme.
The formalities attending the opening i
of the carnival will begin on Thursday
morning, with a marine parade, headed
by the royal yacht, with the Queen and
her maids of honor on board. The Queen
and her attendants will disembark at the
grandstand, and upon reaching the throne
she w 111 be crowned. Then Maaor Berg
man will deliver an address of welcome to
he Queen and all her suite, as well as
to all the strangers in the city, and will
present the Queen with authority over
the city during her reign. Governor
Geer will deliver the opening address,
after which the Queen will direct that
the sports be proceeded with. The for
mal events will then follow In quick suc
cession. The first race will be between gasoline
launches. The first prize in this contest
is a silver cup, valued at SSX With the
exception of tho fishing-boat races, there
win do more money won and lost on this
race than on any other event.
The contest between the launches will
bo followed by the four-oared barge race
between tho California crews. The cham
pionship of California will be decided by
this race.
Then will come the Indian canoe race
between two crews from Shoalwater Bay, i
and as the winner gets tho entire prize,
tne paddies win move fast. A swim
ming raco will follow, and by this time
it will be noon, and an adjournment will
bo taken for lunch.
In the afternoon there will be enough
sailing races to satisfy any one who de
lights in yachting. The first will be for
fishing-boats, with working sails of the
same character as are used during tho
fishing season. As a rule, it takes a
court of inquiry to Judge these fishing-
boat contests, as the prize is considered j
small In comparison with the honor of
winning the event.
After the fishing-boats shall have start
ed, there will follow the Whitehall sail
ing race, the catboat race, 20-foot sloop
race, large sloops, cannery tenders, and
scow schooners, which will make seven
sailing races in progress at the same
time over the same course, and all the
"time In plain view from the grandstand.
This not being sufScient. tho life-saving
crews will give exhibition drills, and
there will be greased-pole contests and
slack-wire walking over the water, aa
well as a punt race.
At 9 o'clock the Queen will again as
sume control of affairs, and will open
the grand ball given In her honor. There
will be given, a series of special dances
for the entertainment of the Queen and
her suite, after vihlch her majesty will
direct her subjects to join in the fes
tivities -with her.
Friday morning an early start will be
made and all the morning will be devoted
to rowing races, in which crews from
California and Oregon will compete. To
provide further for the amusement of the
crowd, there will be swimming races, Chi
nese barge races, Indian canoe races and
a balloon ascension, all to take place
while the other events are in progress.
The afternoon will be devoted principal
ly to sailing races, the most Important of
which will be for fishing-boats with racing
sails, which permits tho fishermen to put
as much canvas on their boats as they
desire. This makes a race that any
"farmer" can appreciate, and It will be
"for blood," although there Is a large
cash prize attached to it. The sloops will
also be given another chance to prove
which has the better skipper and crew,
while there will be a succession of novei
marine performances In the meantime.
Including submarine diving, high diving
and an exhibition by the lifesavlng crews.
Saturday there will be a programme of
the same general character, but varied
and interspersed with novelties that the
experience of past regattas has suggested.
In the afternoon the field sports will be
held on the beautiful new grounds of tha
Astoria Football Club, that will be in per
fect condition, and it will be a disap
pointment if some record of tho Pacific
Coast shall not be broken. The regatta
will formally close in the evening with
an illuminated marine parade, which will
be one of the prettiest features of th
carnival.
Miss Louise Tallant, Queen of the Re
gatta, has announced the selection of the

FIN FOR THE OLD FOLKS
BAKER COUNTVS SOCIETY; GIVEN
ITS AimUAXi EXCURSION.
"Went Over to Sumptcr and Had a
Good Time Reminiscences Told
by the Pioneers.
BAKER CITY, Aug. 17. Yesterday was
a red-letter day with the children of
Baker County who are 62 years old and
over, it being the occasion of the "First
Old Folks' Excursion." The excursion
was originated by tho Sumpter Valley
Railway and carried to a successful end
ing with the aid of committees of citizens
of Baker City and Sumpter.
The custom of "giving annually an Old
Folks' Excuision originated 26 years ago
with the Society of Friends In Salt Lake
City, and is an event looked forward to
by the older people as Christmas is an
ticipated by the children. It Is a most
beautiful and commendable sentiment.
That the old folks of Baker County ap
preciated the effort in their behalf and
enjoyed the excursion to Sumpter today
was 'fully attested by look and word. At
9 A. M. the train of six cars, bearing
nearly 200 people, more than 130 of whom
were over 62 years old, that being the
age that entitled one to membership in
the Old Folks' Society of Baker County.
Tho remainder of the company was per
mitted to Join the party by reason ot
having an older companion, or being a
member of a committee. The Journey to
Sumpter was enlivened by music by the
South Baker Male Quartet, and refresh
ments served by the ladies.
The citizens of Sumpter sustained their
well-earned reputation tor hospitality.
Several hundred people were at the depot
to welcome the visitors, and every avll-
able vehicle was placed at their dis
posal. Ellis Hall was thrown open for
the occasion, and after the visitors had
Been the City of Sumpter, most of them
for the first time, they assembled for
the exercises of the day, which consisted
of an address of welcome by N. C. Rich
ards, of Sumpter. C. W. Nlbley, vice-president
of the road, responded on behalf of
the visitors. Mr. Nlbley was first to sug
gest that tho company introduce the Old
Folks' Excursion in Baker County, and In
24 hours after it was first mentioned the
committees were at work.
Uncle William, better known as "Kid,"
Simpson, told some of the experiences of
early days at Sumpter. J. W. Reel was
asked to give a history of the naming of
the town. He helped build the first log
cabin in the Sumpter Valley. It was built
on the east side of what Is now called
Cracker Creek, In 1863, and was one of the
buildings in old Fort Sumter. At this
time there were about a dozen men, who
had come there from Missouri, and were
In sympathy with the Boutn. The pio
neers from Granite Creek In passing the
Cracker Creek diggings frequently got in
to controversy with their Southern neigh
bors over the issues of the war. These
scenes, following the bombardment of
Fort Sumter, S. C, suggested the name
Fort Sumpter for the Cracker Creek set
tlement. Mr. Reel said the mountains
near where the town of Sumpter now
stands were in those days the home of
mountain sheep and deer, while a. band
of renegade Indians, probably Shoshones,
Infested the country to the south. They
professed friendship for the whites, but
when occasion offered they would drive
off the horses, and occasionally a man or
two. This was the old gentleman's first
visit to Sumpter since 1864, In which year
he went to Idaho, where he remained till
two years ago, when he came to Baker
City.
Judge E. C. Bralnard followed in a rem
iniscent vein, recounting many Interesting
experiences of early days at Auburn.
He was the first Recorder of Baker Coun
ty, and the manner of his election was
unique as well as primitive, mere were
two candidates for the office, Mr. Braln
ard and a Mr. Lockwood. Mr. Lockwood
was considered an Oregoman, and Mr.
Brainard was just up from California.
Whea the day came for election, which1
was held at Auburn, the opposing candi
dates stationed themselves each on a Jog,
and as the "name of an elector was called
he took his stand with the man he wished
to see elected. Those who considered
themselves Oregonians voted for Lock
wood, and the emigrants from California
voted for Brainard; the Calif ornians be
ing in the majority, elected their man.
Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood were the sec
ond couple married In Raker County, and
Mrs Lockwood was the first school
teacher.
Some of the old folks who had passed
through the same years and experiences
as Mr. Brainard, called upon him to recite
an original poem, referring to himself,
which was composed in 1862 and recited
at the Auburn Literary Society in that
year. In the poem is represented a
maiden In quest of a beau, and she is
directed to where she will find Mr. Brain
ard. ' S
Following this the guests were seated
at well-filled tables, supplied and waited
upon by the ladies of Baker City and
Sumpter.
A recess was then taken, and the af
ternoon was devoted to the rendition of
an unusually fine musical programme,
consisting of solos, quartets, choruses and
Instrumental music. The orchestra from
Baker City furnished good music while
dinner was being served. At 5:20 the
train started on the return trip to
Baker, with a load of happy people who
will long remember the day.

PROMOTION OF CHAFFEE.
The Reward in Store for His Fine
Worlc in China.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. The promi
nence which General Chaffee has attained
In the China campaign has already start
ed some discussion as to a suitable re
ward for him by promotion in tho reg
ular Army. There seems to be no ques
tion but that ho will get the next va
cancy among the Brigadier-Generals of
the regular Army, and some of his friends
in the War Department talk of still
higher honors for him, and It is quite
possible that he will be selected for Ma-jor-General
when the next vacancy oc
curs. If this were done, he would be pro
moted over the present list of Brigadier-Generals.
General Chaffee is not
mmm
and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap
pointment and allow the disease to take tinner hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease.

Mrs. Josephine Polblll. of Due West, S. C. -writes t "I had Catarrh, wbtcb became o deep--ated
that I was entirely deaf in one ear. and all inside of my nose, ipcludlnjj part of the bone,
sloughed off. When the diea?e had gone thi far the physician gave me up as incurable. I
determined to try S S S. as a lat resort, and began to lraproe at once. It seenicd to get at the
