- How the Baca Was Won.
An Astoria dispatch gives the follow
ing particulars of tbe championship
race:
Tbe Dalles led off, making 1 :23 2-5,
and were followed by the Astorians,
whose coupling became jammed, throw
ing them out of the race. The Four
teenth infantry team could not do better
than 1 :2G, and 1 :28 was the best that
Portland could place to their credit.
Oregon City was also' unfortunate in this
race, one of their couplings breaking
while the hose was coming off tbe cart.
This gave the championship to The
Dalles, a victory which was very popular,
owing in some measure to tbe fact that
The Dalles had previously been unsuc
cessful. - After the racing was brought to
a close, a test of the water pressure was
made, 10 streams being thrown in the
air to a beigbt of 185 feet. The visiting
teams were much impressed by the
splendid water pressure of , tbe new
water works.

early every one approached concerning
tbe matter signified approva! and an eag
erness to commence the work of carrying
on a vigorous' McKinley campaign at
once.
Tbe suggestion of forming such an or
ganization is in line with the policy pre
vailing in many other states where party
papers have strongly organized. It is
proposed to call a meeting of the editors
of the interior press early in September,
when the subject will be thoroughly dis
cussed and some definite action taken.
The Nicholas Shaft.
Work has stopped for a few days on
Mr. Nicholas' shaft on Chenoweth creek,
by the breaking of a cog wheel. ' Mr.
man in town and - positively refuses to
(yield to any discouragements If there
19 anything of worth attainable between
here and tbe center of the earth Mr.
Nicholas will doubtless discover it.. For
months he has been drilling in an
mery-like rock so hard that the finest
teel drill does not cut more than an
bch or. two a day. His partners and
co-laborers have long 9ince given up, but
with a persistence characteristic of his
race (English) Mr. Nicholas keeps on
deepening, his shaft. It is now about
750 feet below the surface, and about
650 feet below sea level. The worst luck
we can wish him is that be may event
ually make a strike. If . "keeping ever
lastingly at. it brings success," as Geo.
P.Rowell says is a true axiom concern
ing advertising, it is only a question of
years till Mr. Nicholas finds .something
worth while. '
