The question naturally arises, whj
Is it that; so little Interest' Is taken
among the colleges In this branch of
port, and it does! not take long to dla
cover the main trouble. It Is a lack
of facilities for practice. The students
of Yale must depend upon the courtesy
of the national truant mjthorlties of
New Haven for opportunity to practic
on the national guard runs?.'. As this
range has been fully occupied by the
national guardsmen for some timo past
the Yale team was unable to secure pre
liminary practice to warrant their en
trance in the competition.
College BJflemen Discounted.
The marksmen of Columbia college
which won the Intercollegiate indoor
competition last winter,, nave no piace
for practice since the Crcedmore range
tias Deen closed. consequently tney
were also out of the game this year.
Cornell Is in the same position since
the issue to their cudet battalion of the
new army rifle. The use of this arm
lias been prohibited on their old -range
as being unsafe owing to the increased
velocity. Princeton had a good rlflo
club and was the winner of the Inter
collegiate trophy in 1905. Its first year
In the. competitions. They were then
using the national guard range at
Princeton. This privilege was later
withdrawn with the result that the
Princeton rifle club went to pieces and
thus ended riffle shooting In "Old
XaHwau."
Another handicap to the colleges and
universities in excellence In marksman
ship Is the difficulty in procuring arms
and ammunition, which cannot be is
sued to them Under the law. It Is there
fore necessary for tho students to pur
chase their own arms and ammunition,
which makes rifle ' shooting to them an
expensive luxury.

Winners TTss Krfig Biflea.
The Wakelield match was won by
the ,5eorge Washington university
team with a score of 725. Five points
better than fours. The day of the match
was bright and sunny with the tem
perature rather high, although this was
tempered by fitful gusts of wind across
the range from the left. This made
holding very difficult, especially at 200
yards.
The winning team shot with the
Krag rifle, and the University of Penn
sylvania team, which was second with
a score of CS7, shot with the now
Kpringfleld Fltle. Harvard, using - the
Krag, came out third with a score of
687. The team from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, which finished
last, was unfortunate in having lost
two or their best marksmen, who had
departed for their homes. They were
also handicapped in having the model
Krae with the 1301 flat eight. Trrey
used Frankford reloaded ammunition.

Handsoms Trophy for Riflemen.
This match between the colleges was
Inaugurated In 1905 by the National
Rllle Association of America, which of
fered a handsome trophy to be com
peted for annually. The contest was
, held that, year at Sea Girt, and won by
the Princeton team. In 1900 the trophy
was captured by the George Washing
ton university team. There was no
contest for the trophy in 1907.
Several of the universities In the west
have, within the Inst year, organlae.1
rifle clubs and affiliated with the Na
tional Rifle association, so that it Is
probable that by another year new
clubs will compete In the Intercollegiate
match, which may result in the trophy
grolngr to the west for the tirst time
since it was established.
With the national matches at Camp
Perry, Ohio, but one month and a half
distant, military marksmen throughout
the country are dally practicing on the
ranges in competition for places on the
teams which are entitled to participate
In this great military tournament If
reports received hero can be taken as a
criterion, the scores this year will be in
excess of those at previous matches.
Flora almost every range the news
comes that great numbers have quali
fied as marksmen and that the scores
are almost perfect.
Remarkable Scores Made.
One of the most remarkable scores Is
that of Captain Stewart A. Wise, ordi
nance officer of the Sixth regiment,
Massachusetts National Guard, who
made 70 consecutive bullseyes at the
Bay State range. At 600 yards he scored
Bl bullseyes and 10 at 1.000 yards and 9
at ,800 yards, all In succession. His
JOth shot at this last range struck, on
the ground In front of the target and
the miss was laid at the door of "poor
ammunition."
.Much enthusiasm over rjfle practice
is being evidenced In the state of Penn
sylvania, the national' guard uuthorlt1ci
there placing this feature nlxrve nil
other work. Many of the company cap
tains have offered trophies and cash
priies for excellence in rifle practice
this season, with a view of stimulating
and keeping up the Interest.

Seattle, July 4. In the annual re
gatta of the North Pacific Association
of Amateur Oarsmen held on Lake
Washington this morning and after
noon the Vancouver Rowing club won
four out of six races of the day
Weather and water conditions were
ideal.
The. first event of the day, the Junior
singles, was one of the best contests
or tna regatta. Alien oi runuuiu, diii
Clair (jf Vancouver and J. Donaldson of
the James Hay club of Victoria, were
entered in this race, and us none of the
men had ever taken part In the annual
regattas, all of them seemed to be on
an equal footing. At the report of the
starter s gun the three athlete took the
water together.
The Portland man was on the out
side of the course, Donaldson hud tho
middle, while Sinclair was placed on tho
Inside. Donaldson soon took the lend
and held it until about half of the
course had been passed over by the men.
Allen pressed him close, and was only
about a leneth and a half behind at
this point. Sinclair seemed to he fol
lowing the shore line, but was about on
even terms with tho Portland man.
Donaldson eased up on his stroke and
contented himself with keeping his
lead. Sinclair redoubled his efforts,
however, at the three quarters mile
point, and In the hardest kind of a race
gained on the Victoria man and won
at the finish by leas than half a boat
length.
hVL'n after the contest was over, the
James Bay man thought he was the
winner, and was surprised when he
learned he had been vanquished. This
race was one of the best of the day's
sports on the water. H. Sinclair, the
winner, is only a bov of 18, and had
never sat in a shull before until Trainer
Smith of the Vancouver club took him
under his wing two months ago.
VanoouTer Gets Junior Fours,
The next race, the Junior fours, went
to tlm Vancouver club, the victors in
red and white winning easily from the
Portlands by about five lengths. James
Bay failed to rinisn arter rowing to
within 60 yards of the stake boat.
The junior doubles was a classy race,
Frank Knott and Alex Poole of the Nel
son. B. C, Rowing club, winning the
event from the Vancouver nalr, II. Sin
clair and O. Simpson, by a length.
The James Bay men finished third
In this race. This contest was one worth
watching, as Sinclair and Simpson raced
one of the grittiest" faces of the fore
noon. The Nelson crew was ahead un
til over a mile of the course had been
passed over, when the nervy men from
Vancouver started to spurt.
Sinclair, the same man who won the
tro;ihy In tlie first event, set the strokw
durinif the remntnfler of tho course, lie

That it worked its hardships, however,
none can deny. One distracted lady was
Dresent with a Rofle edition, carefully
annotated, and she attempted to follovv
the words spoken by Mr. Mantell witn
the text. Her confusion of mind and
body was pitiful to see. Evidently sho
had failed to notice the explanation on
the corner of the program printed like
a benzonate of soda notice on a pure
food labeled catsup bottle to the effect
that the Cibber perversion was being
used. She had taken the misleading
word in capitals that headed the pro
gram "Shakespeare" literally.
When it was all over she wandered
out of the theatre in a dazed fashion,
climbed onto her trulley car as though
walking in her sleep and sank down
into a corner exhausted.
For the sound of the cannonading
within the house was indeed terrific
No sooner would Mr. Mantell shout
"Off with his head; so much lor Buck

take it up and the four walls would

WAY OPEN TO SETTLERS
TO SECURE GRANT LANDS
Wanted 14,000 actual settlers on the
2.300.000 acres In the Oregon and CaliT
fornia land grant. Settlers must lo
cate before the suit In equity is filed
by the government. In the event that
the suit is won by the government, each
settler will have possession of 160 acres
upon payment of $2.60, as provided un
der the original act of congress in mak
ing the land grant to the railroad company.
Bills In equity in the suit to be
brought by the government to recover
more than 2,000.000 acres, of land In 18
Oregon counties and which is known
as tho Oregon k. California railroad
land grant, have been gone over bv -B.
P. Townsend and Tracy C. Becker, spe
cial assistants to the attorney-general,
and are to he put In the hands of the
printer some time during the first of
tills week. As soon as tiieso bills can
be sent to Washington, approved by At
torney-General Bonaparte and signed
by him, they will be returned to Port
land and filed In the United States
court at once.
Protect Aotnal Settlers.
It is expected that these suits against
the Oregon & California railroad, of
which E. H. Harrlrnan is president and
W. W. Cotton of Portland Is secretary,
will be filed within the next six week3
or two months at least.
It is understood that all persons who
actually settle on these lands and make
improvements on Hi" acres will he ful
ly protected in case the government
wins the suit, and will be allowed to
remain according to the original pro
visions made in the act of congress
which granted the railroad the land to
bo sold to settlers at $2.50 an acre
30 years ago.
These conditions are not generally
known, It seems, the public having be
come confused last year when there
was considerable correspondence re
viewed between Senator Mondell ami
Attorney-General Bonaparte. Mondell's
Idea at the time was to protect persons
from being victimized by professional
locators. -At that time the attorney
general gave his views on the ques
tion. This was to the effect that actual
seUlers locating upon 160-acre tracts
would be allowed to remain, and in case
the location was made before the suit
was begun by . the government tho land
would be theirs upon the payment of
$2.50 an acre.
Suit Will Be Itongr One.
It Is claimed by those who aVi fa
miliar with tho situation that the suit
against the railroad will probably be In
the courts three or four years pending
a final decision by the supreme court
of the United States. If u person takes
tin the land and makes Ids home and
Improvements he takes the chance of
the government losing the suit. No
filings are necessary, it is said, and nil
that a person has to do Is to find the
tract of ISO acres that he desires, lo
cate upon it anil then make nn offer to
the Oregon & California officials to pay I
them $400 $2.50 an acVe, according to
the grant.
Thousands of these offers have al
ready been made the railroad company,
but In only a few Instances have the
persons been actual settlers.
All told there are only about 60 actual
settlers who have taken up quarters on
this great amount of land. Twenty of
these are In Columbia county and about
fticht of them am in T.Ann rnuntv. The
others are scattered through the coun-V
ties in wnicn tne land is located.
Settlement Necessary.
Quite a number of suits have been
filed in the federal court against the
railroad by persons who have become
actual settlers. Under the conditions
as they now exist no stilts are neces-!
sary and in the event that the govern
nient wins out the settlers will come
into possession of the tract upon which
they have located. The suits have been
filed by Martin A Scoby Mark O'NeiL
and A. W. Lafferty. Portland attorneys.
But in securing these tracts it Is es
sential that all tracts be settled upon
before the government files Its suit In
equity against the railroad company.
This particular point had been made
clear and emphasized by Attorney
General Bonaparte.
