The river steamers Telephone and Charles ILJJpeneer raced, from Portland to Cascade Locks and back yesterday; the Telephone won by a mile both on the up trip and on the return. - y It waa t o'clock when -the Telephone pulled away from the dock at the foot ef Oak street; It' passed the draw bridges, which closed for a minute or two, and then opened In order for the passage of the Bpencer and the Bailey Oatsert. . . . .' . The Telephone observed the eight-mile speed limit within the harbor lines, and permitted the Bpencer and the Oatsert to draw, up to her, ao that when they steamed away from the last buoy they were cloea together. It waa soon appar ent that the race was to be between Che Telephone end the Bpencer. ' Captain . Cochran of the Telephone gave his -engineer. Instructions, -and the boat drew steadily away' from the Bpen cer until there -was about ' a mile be tween them, and at that distance ahead aha aet the pace to Cascade Locks, which waa reached at 1:10 o clock. ' The boats left for the return trip at the same . time. Mile after mile the two steamers raced down the Columbia, the Telephone from 1,000 feet to a quar ter of a mile ahead. Until the Willamette river waa reached, when the lead waa in creased to a mile, and the Telephone steamed up to the Oak street dock with a new broom mounted in place on tne Jackataff.- - . ."'..:" lTHISTlE.WELLLOAPE0.- Witt Beoord Lumber Oarfe Bark Will 7' "l sMTontonow. r ..; Aeeordtng to her tonnage the Brit isbbark ThlsUe, Captain Englend. will leave for the sea . tomorrow with -the hlggeat lumber cargo ever' taken from the Columbia river.

' ' "r Noted Speaker Tell Young Men and ' Women of the City of the Work of the Prohibition Party John P. St John Delivers Addreeies.' A mass meeting for men In the Mar quam theatre and another for women at the White Temple yesterday were . the closing features of ths temperance eon- greaa that haa been in aession In thla city since last Tuesday. The men's meeting waa held under the auspices of the Young Men e Christian association. Clinton N. Howard addressed ths meet ing on "Ten American Problems." At ths women'e meeting ez-Oovernor John P, St John spoke en 'Women'e Connec tion With Reform." He urged that wom en should be given the opportunity to vote in order to fight the saloon. Mr. Howard declared that the 10 great problems, before the American people are the saloon. Increase of crime, mob law, divorce, social Impurity, gambling, sui cide. Insanity, idiocy . and murder. . : Hie remarka were directed chiefly agalnat ths saloon, which, he said, waa the chief source of the other evils and consequent ly the moat' Important The aaloon must bs legislated out of existence; -ha wetd.-end that can be ac complished only by church people com bining -and directing their efforts to that end. He declared that the most lncon slstent man on earth la the church mem ber who saye he Is opposed to the saloon and votes for Its continuance; He In tsredrthar the mayor of Portland should close all saloons on Sunday and that the executive waa derelict In ula outy in not doing eo. . " ' ' In the evening at the Taylor street church Mr.' St John" spoke again to both aexee. and at thla meeting standing room could not be, bad,, for late ar rivals. Mr. St John dwelt at length upon the political situation of tha Prohibi tion party. - Hs recalled the fact -that before the civil., war there wero pro slavery Democrats, and alnoe the war there wero aa ardent Democrats, but they i had eliminated. .their slavery doc trines. With this basis for comparison, Mr. St John noted that the prohibition workers -were despised, called crssv snd cranks, but how they were coming to be recognised as tha best, workers ; of the land, and. at some time in the near future there would be a rush to get In and claim credit for being among the flrat workers In thla cause. The speaker dwelt at length upon law enforcement In Kansas, where he said temperance laws were put In execution more rigidly than any. other kind ef laws.
