The commission considered the
fire protection feature of sufficient
importance that ' the order requires
that the reservoir of the company
shall never be lower than 4a per cent
of their capacity, assuring the cm
tens of Roseburg- that there will not
be a recurrence of the water short
age which has caused alarm in the
past. , . '.
None of the rates requested by the
company a application are granted in
the order. The lighting rates asked
is especially regarded as too high,

proposed electric rates. No change

challenger; Shamrock IV. won the
first jrace. of the 19Z0 regatta an-..
ihe defender ttesoiuie, naa ui-u
forced out of the running by an ac
cident to her rigging. ;
The challenger must win two
more races out of a possible maxi
mum of four it she is to achieve Mr
Thomas1 Lipton's dream of takintf
in OOllOiniess , prw irr iiuyuj
to -Britain. Resolute must win three
out of four to retain the cup whlca
has been ia possession of the
York .Yacht club -since 1851. The
second race will start at noon Sat
urday.
Shamrock IVs victory today was
won in the fsftf of what seemed cer
tain defeat. Kesolute had taken the
lead at the start and held until, as
she swooped within half a mile of
th tnrnlner mark, fifteen miles irom
th utart. her creat aVea of canvas
RhtvArod and fluttered down her
mast. A sudden : gnst hao snappea
her throat halyard and a second iat
er the jaws of her gaff were shat
tered beyond repaid i
When the Resolute was seen to be
in trouble, a tug bearing S8r Thomas
tJnton's colors drew swiftly op to
the steam yacht Victoria, f rtam which
Sir Thomas was following! the pro
gress of the challenger. Many be
lieved Sir Thomas was ' ordering
Shamrock IV to fail to cross the fin
ish line, making it no race. . A state
ment issued later, said that this was
his initial impulse, but that he had
been persuaded by his companions
to permit Shamrock IV to finish, as
it was felt that construction and
sturdiness of the contender should
be taken into account,
More thaa leo craft, ranging in
size from an ocean liner to power
boats, followed the contenders over
the 10-mile course. .
Shamrock IV was given a mighty
ovation of screaming whistles as she
flashed across the line at 26 minutes,
26 seconds after 4 o'clock, having
completed thecourse in fonjr hours.
24 minutes, 48 seconds.

ABOARD STEAM YACHT VICTOR
IA, Iiy Wireless to the Associated.
Press) July 15. A victory t!)at
was not earned is the way Sir Thom
as Lipton. owner of the challenger,
summed up today's race.
"I am exceedingly sorry that the
Shamrock won through a fluke." be
said, "and I would much prefer not
to accept the race. I am convinced
by my friends, however, that such a
course would not be for the best in
terests of yachting and that it would
tend to set a precedent whereby a
premium could be placed on faulty
or slight construction.
"I lost a race myself. he added,
"throagh a fluke- the breaking of. a
sail and I know tbe American peo
ple sympathized with me. I can say
positively that it is no pleasure, or
glory for me to i win a race through
a fluke. With a good steady breeza
Saturday, I am convinced that Sham
rock will come out a winner." j
blr Thomas viewed the race from
the steam yacht Victoria, chartered
by him for the occasion.
The victory gave him no feeling
of exultation; He accepted congrat
n'attons tendered "him -but his inter
est in the prospects of the next race
and his confidence in Shamrock for
future showing was far more marked
than was his interest in the result
of the first day's race.
Ant omoblit Dealers Are
Affected by Opinion
X Frank K. Lovell, state car com
missioner, has submitted to Attorney
General Brown the question whether
an assessor,, tax collector or other
taxing officer may correct th as
sessment rolls for the purpose of re
moving errors, adding omissions or
correcting double 1 assessments as
provided by law, or has power to
strike from the rolls a tax assessed
against a dealer for motor vehicle)
which he owned March 1 which were
subsequently sold to other persons
who paid the secretary of state the
registration and license fees required
by law. The attorney generat an
swers the question In the negative: H
' It Is my opinion." says the at
torney general, "that the dealer
must pay the regular taxes asse&ted
on his property, and a sale by him li
ter March 1 does not justify county
officers in striking from the rolls'any
car on thetheory that after it is sold
to a licensed owner, to permit the
assessment to remain on the tax rolls
Is double taxation." ;
