today again Interfered with the yacht
race for the America's cup. Starting

gave promise of better things. The
wind did not last long, but died away
a knot at a time, until nt 9 o'clock,
when Shamrock left for the starting
mark, it was blowing about three
Knots, and at noon had died out alto
gether. Under the rules, the boats
had to remain at the line until 1, at
which hour tho regatta committee
promptly declared the race- off.
Interest In the race has died away
because Reliance's superiority has

the many who are wishing this is Sir

better boat than Shamrock.

day on Blue Mountains.
William Casteel. the foreman of
the O. R. & N. bridge crew on the
Bluo mountain trestle near Weston,
fell off tho bridge today at noon, Just
aftor the train passed through. The
men were working on the bridge, and
when the train came along got out of
the way, and after lt had passed they
came back to their tasks. In some
manner the foreman lost his balance
and fell from the high trestle.
Casteel has been In the employ of
tho company for a long time, and has
been foreman for the last two or throe
years. He was a single man and has

When the county court metes in the
middle of the week It will consider the
question of the appointment of some
one to represent the county at the
National Irrigation Congress, which
meets In Ogden on the 15th to the
18th of September. Jt is the Intention
of the county to send some one to the
meeting who will go. and in this
spirit tlie members of the court nave
been canvassing the county for two
men who will go. One has been found
In the person of F. B. Holbrook, the
vice-president of the Oregon Land .
Water Company of Umatilla. This
gentleman Is a man w.ho has made a
study of the needs of the county Jn.
the wny or irrigation, and has taken
an interest, in the development of the
country in that direction. The other
man has not as yet been selected, but
will be, in the course of the delibera
tions of that body when it meets on
Wednesday next.
Judge Hartman, of the county court,
has written to Governor Chamberlain
asking him to attend the congress as
a representative of the state and of
the eastern part of the state. In view
of the fact that the partner of Mr.
Chamberlain, in his Portland law
practice. Is very 111 at his nome In
tlint city,. It may be that tho governor
will not be able to attend, but it has
been called to his attention that he
is the man of the state who could
represent the state, and that It is a
duty that he owes to this part of the
state. In fact, many of those inter
ested in the question In the eastern
part of the state have written to Mr.
Chamberlain asking him to attend
the congress.
This office has been asked several
times concerning the number of del
egates that are allowed from the state
by tho congress, and lt might be well
to state that all cities having a popu
lation of less than 25.000 inhabitants
are entitled to two delegates upon
their being appointed by tint mayor
of the city. Every organized Irriga
tion, live stock or agricultural sod-
ely, board of commerce, board or
trade, commercial club or real estate
exchange Is entitled to two men to
represent it In Ogden. In this way
every city In the district affected by
tho question Is enabled to have repre
sentation nt the 'meeting jf it so desires.

The Labor Day celebration has as

than was at first expected, lt was
thought that it would be simply a local
thing, when the men at the head of
the matter started in to agitate he
observance of the day, but now that
the outside cities ave seen that lt

to send delegations here, anil make It
a time long to be remembered.
Word has been received frpm La

the labor people of Walla Walla will
be here with all of tho members that

New Rigby-Clove Machine Put to a
Severe Test and is Highly Successful.
Probably no severer test than cut
ting the tough, unyielding stalks of
the Chinese lettuce could be imposed
upon a combined harvester, yet the
new Rigbgy-CIove combined now at
work on the Shutnim place, Just north
of the city, has stood this test and
has met every difficult feat wnn ease.
The big Best harvester whicn has
been at work on the place has had
great difficulty in cutting and clevat
lng t' Chinese lettuce slums wmch
are found in the wheat at soin
points, yet this latest product of the
Rigby-Clove factory In this city, has
triumphantly mastered the difficulty
and is satisfactory In every way. The
Rigby-Clove machine Is light-running,
simple machine, drawn by 14 horses
and operated by two men. It has a
12-foot header and cuts from 16 to 20
acres per day with ease.
This machine cleans tho grain well,
threshes every grain out of tho straw,
and does not pull so heavy as other
machines of tho snme size.
So far as heard from, every one of
the 10 machines sent out this year .y
the Rigby-Clove factory has given sat
isfaction, and the industry promises
to bo one of the leading Jn the Inland
Empire, In the future. Tho output will
probably bo doubled next year, and as
the light machines come to be more
thoioughly understood In this coun
try they will gradually take tho place
of tho largo, unweildy machines
which are now generally In use.
This test of the Pendleton machine,
right in the faco of the most difficult
harvest problems, Is a certain presage t
or its future, lt has proved to bo well
constructed, well arranged, perfectly t
adjusted, light running, properly
geared, well' proportioned and of first
eluHg workmanship.
