SOME MOTOR RACEkS UNDERWAY ASTORIA FRAMING UP SOME MARINE BEAUTIES THAT WILL SHOW RECORD-SMASH-ING QUALITIES. Down at the Driscoll Brothers' snug boat-building establishment on East Exchange street, in this city, there are all sorts of things doing to the pleasant end of setting up, and knocking down, motor-boat racing records on the Columbia river, during the pendency of the coming regatta. And from the looks of the three fine craft underway there, there will be something of that sort doing, for a certainty. There is a craft on the ways at Driscolls that has the appearance of a gigantic green lead pencil, so sharp 'and narrow and keen built is she; she has no name as yet, but if she tries out to suit her designers and builders, they have a name up their sleeves that will fit her to a dot. She is 38 feet long, with a beam of only four feet long, and a midship draft of three feet. She will be equipped with a 30 horsepower Doman engine, which It expected to drive her up in the "twenties" anyway. Her engines are the same as are in the West Butte now, and after the regatta season they will be put back in that fine boat and the new craft equipped with a set ot her own. Neal Driscoll is just finishing up a beautiful 20 horsepower motor racer; to be named the "Edith," charged with a fine Roberts engine of higff speed pattern. She is 27 feet in length, five feet beam and two feet draft and is due to do from 18 to 20 miles on her trial trip next week; and she is nicely balanced and constructed up to just such time and distance capa city. Paul Trullinger is working faithful ly on a dandy little racer, the "Merry Widow," canvas decked, low-built, and carrying a fine 6 horsepower Russello engine just turned out at the Scow Bay Iron Works, which will drive this 16 foot marvel in good when it is let ut. She is 16 feet long, three feet and four inches beam, and but a foot deep inside; has a 20-inch wheel and the ardent yotmg builder looks for anything from 12 to 16 miles when he tries her out. Skinch II is just being finished off in elegant shape at the R. M. Leath ers' yards and when she takes to her normal element she will be the very handsomest thing afloat in these waters, and will not be any to the bad in the records made here. She is 32 feet long.j5 feet beam and 3.10 feet II Free Vote for Regatta Queen riifctl! !

She will take the water this week and Messrs. Fox and Vaughn have their own ideas of results she will achieve. Marine Memoranda The bar tug Wallula will come off the drydock at St. John's on next Tuesday and by one week from to morrow will be ready for sea duty again. It is said that Captain Mit chell has changed the name of his Young's Bay "boneyard" and now calls it the "Bryan"; but his col leagues, the captains of the other schooners up there, say that if the mere tact ot Bryan s running tor office is good cause for naming a boneyard after him, his defeat will warrant the use of his name for a cemetery; but "Bryan" it is, and so it will remain, till the bunch comes out of retirement. The schooner W. F. Jewett went up to the "Bryan" bull-pen yesterday, being towed there bv the Keating launches Pilot and Pilot No. 2. The British ship An- doriha went up to Portland on the tow lines of the Harvest Queen yes terday. Charlie Haddix was on board as customs inspector, and when he returns tomorrow he will bring with him his sister, Mrs. A, B. Kelly, of Waco. Texas, who comes to visit him for the Regatta. Jacob Kamm has ordered that the steamer Lurline be dressed and lighted for regatta purposes during the coming water festival here, and that she delay her departure, on the second night of the regatta, in order to take her place in the great marine parade, which is an appreciated concession. The steam ship Rose City came down at 3:43 p. m. yesterday with a huge crowd of passengers on board, and left out at 4:30 for the Bay City. Captain No pander made one of the prettiest land ings seen" here for many a day, slip ping into the big docks and bringing Tier up standing on all her hawsers at once. The Alesia arrived in the. city yesterday from San Francisco, and went on to the metropolis at 3 p. m. Notice. Old mattress made over new; all kinds of picture frames. Bob Davis, 59 Ninth street.

Bids of street improvements on three thoroughfares were opened by the streets committee on the com mon council in the office of the city auditor yesterday afternoon, and in each case the lowest bid was accept ed as being a satisfactory one. On the proposed improvement of Kensington avenue, from Eighth to Eleventh street, two bids wcr sub mitted, as follows: W. A. Goodin, $3400; A. R. Foote, $4000; the city en gineer's estimate for this work being $3057.90. On the Astor street improvement, Sixth to Eighth street, two bids were submitted, as follows; E. A. Gerd ing, $5070, and John W. Welch, $5280; the engineer's estimate being $5138.50 On the Third street improvment, from Commercial to Astor, three bids were submitted, as follows: K. A. Gerding, $1230; McGuire & Jameson, $1245; John W. Welch, $1355; the engineer's estimate being $1275. It will be noticed that in the case of each lowest bid accepted it was fairly near to the estimate made by the city engineer, Mr. Tec. The bid for the Kensington avenue improve ment was several hundred dollars higher than the estimate, but it was thought that it was reasonably fair and the best that could be done. The first time that bids were advertised for on Kensington avenue all were reject ed, the lowest, bid then having been $3850, the lowest bid of yesterday be ing over $400 lower. Brand New Scheme- One of the prominent features of the regatta has been improvised by W. R. McBeth. It will be a Kanga roo court in which prominent citizens will be brought before the court and lined for some trivial offense. Mr. McBeth has selected C. J. Curtis as Judge Advocate and Millard Har desty as sheriff. The court will be held on the evening of the last day of the regatta and jury trials will be in vogue. This promises to be one of the most amusing part of the pro gram and will elicit considerable amusement and entertainment tor those in attendance. The Kingaroo court will be conducted along tne same lines as all courts and with the officers selected will prove to be one 'of the most important features of the regatta. Prominent citizens will be arrested for some trivial offense and can demand a jury trial if they wish, but the judge has promised to soak all offenders to the full limit. Don't fail to visit the Kangaroo court on the last night of the regatta. John C. McCue will operate as district at torney. A Bad Piece Of Work There is a radically bad piece of street work being done on the Twenty-second street improvement, between Exchange and Commercial and which, from all accounts, is not chargeable to the constructor. The laches is in plain sight of every citi zen who will take the time and trouble to be on the spot there at low water; at which time he wil. see a lot of fine, new, solid bents laid along the tops of sawed-off piling that was not cut far enough down to escape the rotten element that made the job necessary, and if it is allowed to stand as it is, will have to be thor oughly and safely repair in a very short time, to the further annoyance and cost of the abutting property owners. The contractor, it is said, went to the proper authorities when he found that his 10-foot standards were not long enough to cover the distance between the road bed and the sound timber under water, but he was told that the measurements had all been taken and that the lumber had been cut, 'and to proceed with the work. There is no excuse for such work, wherever the fault may lie, and it is too conspicuous and at too j prominent a point in the traffic of the city to escape general notice and comment. It is directly beneath the railway curve that connects Commer cial and Twenty-second and in plain view of every passer-by. A score of people noted it yesterday. PERSONAL MENTION Mr. and Mrs. Silas L. Jones, of Portland, are in the city, guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Judah. They will spend the day at Seaside today, returning to the me tropolis tomorrow morning. M. J. Dillman, of the Pacific States Telephone Company, went to Se attle last evening on business for his company, and will return here to morrow evening. E. H. Joseph, the well known can neryman of Altoona, was a business visitor in this city yesterday. I ttttttttttttttf TTttTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtttttttttttttttt . . . . . , - THE WORD "('!"

MEETS DEATH UNDER FALLING TREE HARRY TUTTIER, BETTER KNOWN AS "DUTCH CHAR LEY," INSTANTLY KILLED AT BRIX CAMP, GRAY'S BAY. Harry Tuttici. for many years fa miliarly known as "Dutch Charley", was instantly killed by the toppling of an old and decayed stump of a tree yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. He was employed in the Brix camp at Gray's Bay on the north side of the river. The body was brought over to this city last night and taken to the Pohl undertaking rooms. According to the story told of the matter by Tuttier's companion, who at the time was engaged m cutting down a tree a couple of hundred feet away, the dead man probably never knew what had struck him. The de cayed snag was about 30 feet in height and what caused it to fall just at the moment it did, when the woods man stool directly in its pathway, will never be known Tuttier was a stand ing on a log, and the snag struck him squarely. His head and body were crushed. For many years "Dutch Charley" has been a familiar figure around the camps along the river. In Cathlamet he was well known. He had been of saving and thrifty habit and leaves quite a tidy sum of money, it is un derstood. He was 54 years old, and as far as is known leaves no rela tives in this country. His aged par ents, to whom he frequently sent money, are understood to be stiff alive in their old home in Germany.
