V'. aaavaaaaaa A PACIFIC CUP. :t The Shamrock and her , attendant fleet have arrived safely at New York, with everything In the best condition for the new yacht to show at her best In the coming races, which promise to - be the most interesting of all the long fries prompted by the hope of taking the America's cup back to Great Brit , ain. The Reliance in her trials has performed, with a consistency that stamps her aa the best defender that ; has ever been built, end since Sham rock III is undoubtedly the best cfcal lenger there will be a battle royal for the primacy of the yachting world. With the America' cup race before .;- there any reason .why there should be no blue ribbon qontest on the Pacific coast? There are no ad vantages on the Atlantic side that we have not here, but the Interest taken in yachting has hitherto been small as a matter of course, for men have been too busy developing the new industries of the West and exploiting its re sources to spend much time In recrea tion. Ail that Is now changing rapidly. snd as an instance of the fact may be cited the regatta which is to be held nere. Thousands of people will be deeply interested in that event, and there will be. many entries and keen eomstition. . . In view of this It Is not extravagant to predict that the time is fast coming I oihtu we snail ouna our own Reliance to beat, say, an Australian Shamrock. ... It Is pleasant to see that even the Hearst papers are not above correct mg a , grammatical mistake. Foi months they have been funning the line, "Great Britain rights reserved; over the twaddle that fills most of their editorial pages, but lately they have taken tp making It "British rights re served." Neither was wanted, for no thing but another Hearst paper would ever think of stealing any of the mat- ter. . . rv''- ' . HELP THE STRICKEN. - The appeal from Heppner for aid will be responded to readily by Astorians without a doubt, and the prompt ac tion of Mayor Suprenant in appoint ing a committee and of the banks in receiving the money will result in more welcome help to the stricken people than could result from delay. A dol lar.now is worth many that might be sent later. .'"'. The matter Is before the people, and nothing further need be said.' ' ' ; .7; " A ' POINTED SERMON.

Some Eastern Insurance companies are purturbed because a man carry Ing policies amounting to half a mil lion, died not long after securing them.

Astonishing stories anent tlje recent cyclones are arriving In the Kansas press. The Sallna Republican notes the case of Miss Olson, daughter of a Salina county farmer. The Olson house was taken up and twisted into splint- ers. A son was killed and several more desperately Injured, Including Mr. Ol on. Miss Olson was In bed recovering from typhoid fever. After the storm had abated she was found a long dis tance from the site of the house, camly reposing on' the mattress of her bed. and without the slightest Injury to her person.

The Parisian rate-goers who looked Into the air from the track at Long- champs last Saturday saw three air ships rn flight. There was much ex citement as may be easily understood for the appearance of an air ship ! not yet sufficiently comtnon to pass without comment That it will become so before many years pass Is now a practical certainty, and the three that hvered over the French race course are the harbingers of a flight that shall be as thick as the leaves in June. Santos-Dumont was one of the aeri al navigators, and his vessel was named the Santos-Duinont IX. Ths led the crowd to bet on the horse num- bered on the card for the next race and that horse won.
