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

draft. 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.

STREET WORK BIDS
ARE ACCEPTED
REASONABLY LOW TENDERS
MADE FOR IMPROVEMENTS
ON KENSINGTON AVENUE,
ASTOR AND THIRD STREETS.
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.

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. '
