The Willamette Motor-Boat Club la
planning: tomake a name for Itself this
neason among: the motor-boat organiza
tions of the United States. New high
speed boats are being- constructed by
several of the members of the club, and
with a Coast championship race
.planned for the water carnival day of
the Rose Festival, the club expects to
make a big- splurge In motor-boatdom.
Conditions on the Willamette and Co
lumbia Rivers combined are thought
ar superior to those of Pug-et Sound
or San Franrlarn Rq w fn-
cruising:, and it Is hoped that Portland
will become the center of the Western
United Etates motOr-boat world.
In the coming -water carnival day of
the Rose Festival, the motor-boat club
will take a leading- part with races and
exhibitions.' If present plans carry. In
vitations will be sent to Seattle. San
.Francisco and JUis Angeles, and the
motor-boat organizations in these cities
are expected to enter their fastest speed
craft.
Races on lower River.
. Th "ces probably will be held on
tJie Lower Willamette River, In order to
avoid the danger of accidents at the
bridges and among the numerous boats
'of various descriptions In the stream
near Portland. Several boats with a
peed of over 30 miles an hour will be
entered In the races, and It will be
Impossible to make the proper turn
while g-oing at this clip unless the full
width of the river Is available. An ex
ample of what might .happen when
three or four such boats'are racing was
shown last Summer during the Labor
Day races, when a canoe was cut
through by a speed boat making a turn
t about 18 miles an hour.
It is the Intention during the Rose
Festival races, and probably at all the
other meets this Summer, to have the
river well patroled by officers, who
will be expected to keep the course
entirely clear of canoes and other small
craft. Care will be taken In choosing
a site for the races to see that there
is ample room for those wishing to
view the contests. There is some talk
of placing several tiers of seats along
the banks or on barges moored along
the course. N
New Name fop Club?
-A reorganization Is planned for the
motor-boat club, and it is likely that
the name of the organisation will be
changed to the Portland Motor-Boat
Club. This name is favored by prom
inent business men of the club who
think that It should represent and ad
vertise Portland and Its harbor. A
meeting probably will be held some
time during the coming week to per
fect the plans of reorganization, and to
put matters on a sure looting for the
coining season.
Several new boats which will be
capable ef making 30 miles an hour are
twinge constructed, loi; us during; the.
I
season. Milton ' Smith, of Rainier, la
constructing a high-power craft in
tended to be In a class with the Pacer
and the Wolf II, two of the fastest
boats In the United States. The TVolff
II won the championship of the Coast
last Summer at Seattle. Otto Ranff, of
Portland, is building another of the
same class, and two others are also
being constructed for 'a SO-mile speed.
In the Coast championship race dur
ing the Rose Festival there will be en
tered probably the Seattle Spirit and
another 30-mile boat from Seattle, one
from San Francisco and two from Los
Angeles of the same fast type.
Among 60 or more other motor-boats
being constructed In Portland are the
FRUIT LAND PURCHASED
NEtV "STORK FIRM BITE'S NEAR
ASHLAND FOR $2 50,000.
Tract Held by Joseph Simon and
Ben Selling Is Transferred at
Good1 Advance.
ASHLAND, Or., - March (Special.)
Outside capital is being put 'into fruit
landa in this immediate vicinity at a rate
that indicates a veritable boom In the In
dustry for years to come and is bound
to add materially to the growth and de
velopment of Ashland and this section of
the famous Rogue River Valley. The last
and biggest tract of land gathered in for
orchard planting Is known as the Harga
dine tract of 5000 acres, lying only three
miles north of Ashland, on the north
side of Bear Crook.
For years it has been owned by Joseph
Simon and Ben Selling, of Portland, who
held it as an investment while It was let
out for grazing purposes. A short time
ago they sold it to L. D. Cole, of Portland,
who now. It is said, has sold It to the
Lincoln Trust Company, of New Tork. for
a consideration of iMO per acre, or $250,
000. The purpose of the Eastern concern
is to subdivide Into small tracts and plant
to fruit
The rise In value of these lands is
shown by the fact that Messrs. Simon and
Sailing paid less than $5 an acre for It
from the Hargadlne estate. The 6000 acres
are capable, it is said, of supporting hun
dreds of families.
Another his orchard development proi-
following: An 18-mlle boat, a duplicate
of the Nymph, for Gus Flamming, de
signed by Ranff, and a 22-mile boat
being -constructed by the Von der
Werths for their own use. -

ect Is located in the same vicinity but
still closer to thls city. F. B. Walte, of
Douglas County, Is at the head of capi
talists who have purchased nearly 2000
acres of likely fruit lands Just across
Bear Creek at Ashland's northern bound
ary at an average price of about J100 per
acre. They are outlining a scheme of de
velopment which will make model or
chard, tracts of the entire acreage.
BLUEC0AT SAVES WORKMAN
Officer Risks Life at Crossing and
Is Severely Injured.
CHICAGO. March 4. patrolman John
Dunn, of the Hinman-street police sta
tion, saved an unidentified workman from
possible death under the wheels of a
Chicago Terminal Transfer passenger
train at the Weet Twenty-second street
grade crossing, but was himself struck
and severely injured.
The accident was witnessed by -several
railroad employes, but the name of the
man rescued was not learned. He was not
hurt, and Is said to have left without
waiting to learn how badly his rescuer
was injured.
Patrolman Dunn told of the accident
after he had received medical attention
at his home.
"The workman was crossing the tracks
and I was walking a few feet behind
him." said the patrolman. "I saw a pas
senger train coming along and shouted
a warning to him. Instead of going on
he stopped and looked around. I ran and
seized him and pulled' him back off the
tracks."

FORTUNE IS LEFT- G1TY
VISCOUNTESS YATjGELET GIVES
$100,000 TO RIOM.
Peculiar Conditions Attached to Will
Are Compiled With, Save Tbat
Black Team Is Used.
PARIS, March 6. (Special.) The
Viscountess de Vaugelet, who has Just
died at the age of 77, left the bulk of
her fortune, estimated at 1100,000, vari
ous minor legacies being deducted, to
the town of Riora on certain curious
conditions, which were nearly all com
plied with. She insisted on an entirely
"white" funeral, with white flowers,
and white horses. No white horses were
discoverable In the country, but In
other respects her wishes were' obeyed.
The late Viscountess seems to have
been particularly musical, for she be
queathed $200 to the local band on con
dition that it played Chopin's "Funeral
March" continually during the obse
quies, all the way from the house to
the church, and from the church to the
graveyard, a distance of is miles. The
result was that the band played
Chopin's "Funeral March" 67 times, and
then retired almost Inanimate to a vil
lage inn, where a portion of the (200
was consumed ln'drlnk.
Madame de Vaugelet also left $6000 to
the French Academy to be bestowed
"upon a child aged between 5 and 15
years having shown peculiar distinction
la music." There seems to be no time

Finally, the residue of the Vis

disinterestedness of M. Vlementel, ex

PARK BUFFALO IS VICIOUS
Big Beast Charges Patrolman, Who
Narrowly Escapes Death.
SAM FRANCISCO. March 6. Attacked
by a. vicious bull buffalo, Mounted Po
liceman Frank Black was saved from
death by Nelson Norton, game warden
at Golden Gate Park, yesterday. Squir
rels are too plentiful in the park just how
and. Norton was. thinning them out with
a gun. He dropped one In .the buffalo
paddock while standing outside the fence.
Just then Black rode up, and chaffing
the warden on his unwillingness to fetch
the squirrel, volunteered to go after It
himself. Hardly had Black climbed the
fence when the biggest buffalo in the
herd charged him. Turning to run, the
patrolman stumbled and fell. In an in
stant the buffalo was upon him. Catch
ing Black's clothing on its horns, the en
raged animal tossed him several feet and
was on the point of goring him when
Norton came up and fired two charges
of blrdshot at the beast.
The buffalo Immediately turned on the
warden, who escaped from the Inclosure,
as did Black. The policeman was not in
jured. The squirrel is still in the paddock.
NEW INDUSTRY CREATED
Snobs Buy Receipted Bills From Big
Hotels to Impress Folks. '
NEW TORK, March 1-An under
clerk in a big , hotel was discharged
last week for. one of the most extraor
dinary reasons that ever put a hotel
clerk out of a Job. He was detected
In making out fake bills and selling
them to people who wished to give the
impression that they had been guests
of the house.
"I found plenty of customers, too," he
confessed when cornered. "A friend
of mine who makes the rounds of cheap
hotels drummed up trade for me on
the shares. He picked cut people who
couldn't afford to stop at our house,
but would like to make everybody back
home think they had been here. They
were willing to pay for something to
back up their assertion and I helped
them out by selling receipted bills."
