(Special.) Rough water and Its attendant results turned the tables in the big champion ship f ree-for-ahT speedboat race today and snatched the banner from the Ore gon Kid, when everyone thought the little speeder had the title safely folded away for anofher year. Instead, . the Oregon Wolf, the champion of some years ago. again flies the banner. When the first morning race' was called the breeae was fairly brisk, but It died down until there was scarcely a ripple on the bay. -This condition did not continue long and ' by the time the speeders were away in the final heat of the free-for-all, there was a nasty U.-A11 tnn henw fftr thft KLiri to buck. As a consequence the Wolf captured the heat, giving her a total of 11 points in the three heats and winning her the coveted title of champion. The Kid on the other hand, by accepting assistance from an outside boat, a thing she was compelled to do to avoid swamping. was disqualified. This leaveB her with only 10 points, two first places, in the three heats. ' Lanana Has Trouble. ' - Only two laps were run in the final heat of the race foe 16-footers this morning, as the water was rougb for the little speed craft. The Red Nose was off on time, but the Uwana'B gas oline pipe became blocked and she did not start until four minutes later. The Ked Nose finished first in 15:45, or at the rate of 22.9 miles an hour. The Lawana had a hard time in making the final heat, as she stopped several times, but was finally able to finish. This gives tlie Lawana the Pacific Coast championship in that class. - The total points won by each of the con testants being: Vogler Boy, 5; Law ana, 11; Red Nose, 9. There were 30 entries In the Colum bia River fish boat race and it was v hard-fought contest, J. D. Tarobochea winning, with Alex Peterson, second. Only Two Boata Entered. The third and last race of the morn ing was the final heat In the free-for-all championship contest. The only en tries were the Oregon Kid and the Ore gon Wolf; the latter had burnt out a bearing in one of her cylinders and had taken out the piston, so she was using eight cylinders, or two more than were working properly yesterday. A good start was made, with the Wolf slightly ahead, but the Kid opened out with a spurt that lifted her eo a streak of daylight could be seen between her hull and the water, and she passed the Wolf before rounding the cruiser South Dakota, taking the van by about 300 feet. At the lower end of the course there was choppy water that kept growing worse as the race progressed. This Interfered with the Kid and gave the Wolf a little advantage, as she is by far the better rough-water craft. The Kid made the first lap in 7:51, or at the rate of S8.2 miles an hour, and the Wolf was 15 seconds behind. In the second lap the Wolf gained four seconds on her antagonist, which was laboring hard in breasting the swells at the lower buoys. The time of each, however, became slower on succeeding rounds, and the third lap the Wolf passed the KM, although the former was making only 35.65 miles an hour. Average Speed 34 Miles. The Wolf continued in the lead until the end of the last lap, finishing In 35.15, and her average time for the 0 miles was 34 miles an hour. On the third lap the Kid missed one of. the lower buoys and circled about the flagship before going back to cor rect her error. She also refused to make the fourth lap. on account of the swells, unless extra craft were sent to stand by, as the conditions were dan gerous. This was done and she fin ished the lace. A protest was filed Jater by J. K. Wolff, saying the Kid received assistance by running behind a launch which broke the force of the swells, and the committee allowed the protest. This snatched the champion ship from Captain Smith's boat when it was all but clinched. The points won by each of the contestants in the free-for-all race are: Oregon Kid, 10; Ore gon Wolf. 11. This evening Wilber Smith, owner of the Oregon Kid. filed an appeal from tlie committee's ruling and the matter will go before the executive committee of the International Powerboat Asso ciation for a decision. The purses won by the respective speedboats during the regatta were as follows: Oregon Kid. t00; Oregon Wolf, 110: Vogler Boy, $-5; Lawana. J55; Red Nose, $4 5. On Monday the Oregon Kid and the Oregon Wolf are to raca at Rainier. The course there is five miles straight away. The regatta closed totflght with . a marine parade. Portland l'arty Kntertatned.

PRINEVILLE, Or.. Sept. 4. (Spe cial.) Farmers, merchants, laywers, bankers and doctors, 100 strong, gath ered Thursday night at the Jrtneville Hotel grill and formed the Business Boosters, The big crops of the sea son following two years of drouth has given an impetus to both business men and farmers. The meeting was the result of an agitation carried on for some weeks to obtain closer co-operation between the business men and farmers to improve conditions in this section and to begin a systematic development of the agri cultural and stock resources of Crook County. . North of Prineville there is a' large area of land, practically level with more than 25.000 acres capable of irri gation. This land runs right up to the town limits. Dry Land lat Productive. The dry land now will sometimes produce as high as two and one-half bushels to the acre, while some of it that has been put under water pro duced this year more than 40 bushels to the acre. Corn and even watermelons prrow luxuriantly with water on what is a desert without it. This land Is all un der private ownership and it is pro posed to form an irrigation district and by issuing bonds for SoOO.000 or more to build a reservoir on the Ochoco River and another on the Crooked River and thus obtain enough water to irrigate the vast tract of land. When this is done Prineville expects to be come a city 'three times its present size and the center of one of the fin est agricultural sections in Oregon. The Question of improved mail serv ice was discussed and an effort will be made to obtain a change in the time of delivery of mail, so that business men can have their mall in The early business hours Instead of in the after noon, as at present.

Sept. 4 (Special.) Pessimists complaining of mounting prices would find their criticism dis armed by a study of the valuations re turned to the Washington Board of Equalization by Assessors of several counties in this state. In Klickitat County, as an instance, returns indi cate that a man with a few hundred dollars. If able to purchase articles at the value returned by the Assessor, could live like a millionaire. The average value of automobiles in this county, the returns show, is only $99. 08, wile a motorcycle is' valued at only J29 and a bicycle at J2. A work horse can be purchased for $22.08, the returns indicate; a full-grown saddle horse or driving horse for $10.61, and much cow for 14.0o. The averacre value of all pianos in the county is given as $32.16; sewing machines are rated at $2.74, and a heavy preponder ance of $1 watches is indicated by the average valuation of $1.69. There is a market! divergence in the case of some other counties. L,ittle Wahkiakum County, for instance,- re turns the average value of its watches at $15.09, though only 11 citizens of the county, were reported as sufficiently opulent to own timepieces. Similarly, automobiles are appraised as high as $34 2 tn Mason County. Poultry fanciers might reap a har vest by exhibiting their fowls as a side show attraction In Columbia County, for Mrs. Blanche Beckett, As sessor of this county, reports there are no ctuckens there. The Chelan County Assessor reports no . watches, motorcycles or bicycles among the citizens of Wenatchee and surrounding territory. One lack that is general throughout the state is that of money. Only two counties have as yet returned on as sessment sheets anycash within their boundaries, although every County As sessor has reported thousands of dol lars worth of bank fixtures.

Sept.. 4. (Special.) Arrangements are being made for the staging of Polk County's fourth annual fair In this city September 22, 23 and 24. The premium list has been widely circulated throughout the county. Far mers in various parts of the county have signified their intention of competing, and the best exhibit ever shown is expected. The school children's depart ment will be equal to that of former years, if not better. The best of all exhibits will then be taken to Salem to the State "air. Polk County has its eye on the first premium for counties at the State Fair this year. Independence, Monmouth, Falls City, Rickreall. Buena Vista and other sections of the county are mani festing an interest In the fair this year tnat tney nave not shown heretofore. J. E. French, an expert horticulturist. has been in the employ of the county iair Doara lor the past three months, and has been gathering the best prod ucts for the exhibit. He will be in charge of Polk County's exhibit at the fatate 1-atr. Several of the most promi nent owners of blooded stock, have sig nified their intention to exhibit in Dallas and no from here to Salem. Owing to the large expense that the fair management has been under during me past two years, a shortage of fin ances is being felt, and it may be that ine (commercial (JIubs of Polk Countv will be called upon to help finance the exhibition. No admission is charged ior entrance to the lair grounds, and ine oniy income the management real izes fom the fair is from concessions and entries. The Arnold Amusement Company of Portland will furnish th attractions, and the Dallas band of 35 pieces will rurnish the music. Baseball- games will bo played and other out-of-door sports staged. Reduced rates will prevail on the railroads and ample hotel accommodations will be provided. "Importance of Good Teeth V I)K. I-:, (i. AUSl'I.LM. 91sr.

Process of Hatching Sal mon Fry Is Described. ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 4. (Special.) Ten million salmon eggs. -That is a number too vast for easy comprehen sion. Computed In volume It means more than 162 bushels. That total, however, is the amount handled by the North Umpqua State Fish Hatchery In the course of last season, and it is expected that this number will be fully equaled for the season which opened this week. This hatchery Is on the North tTmp qua River, about 18 'miles from Rose- burg, and Is directed by W. -A. Smith. The present hatchery was built under his supervision about eight years ago. tha main building is 5 by 80 feet and Is well equipped. Mr. Smith was also in charge of the construction of the big hatchery on the McKenzie River before arriving here eight years ago. He previously spent two years i the old North Umpqua Hatchery across the river from the present more commodi ous institution. SOOO -Captive Salmon In Pen There are now about 3000 salmon In captivity at the North Umpqua Hatch ery and more are still coming Into the large enclosure id the open river be tween two long "racks extending clear across the river. Most of these salmon are chlnooks, there being a few steelheads among them, and an occa sional silverside. To allow the salmon to enter the enclosure two large V-shaped sections are built in the lower rack. The point of the V, which extends upstream. Is left open to allow the fish to pass through. Once inside, they contimie to try to work upstream, but never find the place where they entered. The hatchery begins operation as soon as the spawning season opens. As soon as several female salmon are "ripe" they are taken from the water and killed by a sharp blow on the bead and their tails are cut off. Eggs Are Fertilised. The bodies are then slit open and the eggs deposited tn special pans. There the eggs are fertilized by stirring thor oughly among them the fluid taken from the male salmon. TLien they are placed in the racks or troughs in the hatchery where running water is kept constantly passing through them. Riffles are placed at frequent inter vals in the troughs to insure circula tion of water through the eggs at all times. " These must be constantly watched, as comparatively slow or still water for 24 hours means death to the eggs. It requires from 60 to 65 days for the eggs to hatch, depending upon the temperature of the water. Then it is about 60 days moire before the young fish begin feeding, being sustained in the meantime from the egg sac which remains attached to their bodies. Af ter they begin feeding the youfig fish grow rapidly. Fry Released ia River. A little later they are placed In the large pools adjoining the hatchery and when they are about three and ono half inches in length they are released into the river. These pools are con stantly supplied with . running water. The "fry" are supposed to go out to sea with the first freshet in the river after they are released, to return the third or fourth season thereafter us full grown salmon. This return is for the purpose of spawning, after which the fish, both male and female, die. The bodies of the salmon' taken at the hatchery are either dried for future use as young fish food, or are burled, so that they will not contaminate the water of the river. Salmon eggs are. of course, the ideal food for young fish, beinar com posed largely of oil, but they are too valuable for such use. Experiments made at this hatchery have demonstrated that the young fry will grow to a length of 10 inches the first season if fed on fish eggs. In using dried salmon for young fish food it is cooked as needed before being given to them, a separate building and equip ment beftig provided for that purpose. Only about 1.750,000 of the 10,000.000 young fish hatched here the past sea son were kept at this hatchery for feed ing, the others being shipped to other hatcheries in the state. Steelheads Trapped Oat. Only faaie Chinook salmon are hatched here, the steelheads entering the en- Or "She Is Simply Beautiful Until She Smiles' rtmW TEETH Flesh-Colored Plates Good Plates S5.00 22k Porcelain Crowns $3.50 Gold Fillings. . .1.00 and Up Coraer of Sixth and WanhlBStoo Streets.
