composed of all the yacht clubs in Puget

on the 25:h. Captain g. V. Johnson sent
his boat, the Hettie Bell, up yesterday on
the steamer J. r. Mcdonald and the Idle

she is Just being completed by Earl Il

contemplates going up. and will probably
sail in Mr.. Bakers boat if she goes Mr.
Johnson has fine yacht of his own IN San

bringing her to the Sound when he came
here. He thought he would wean himself

been seized with yearning for his yacht.

visibility of bringing her up.
The yacht Violet. the hull of which was
brought over from Port Blakelcy a few
days ago, has been sold to W. G.. Hebron,
who will schooner rig her and fit her cabin
up elegantly for cruiser.
The Seattle Yacht Club will hold an i'm

election of officers and the adoption of a
constitution and bylaws. There is con-
siderable talk about building q fine club
house in West Seattle somewhere near
the elevator and furnishing it up con-
veniently and comfortably. The idea is to
have it put up in a hurry and give a big
reception in it before the season gets too
far along. A committee is now out look

SEATTLE, Aug. -. 49,
To THE EDITOR: l have seen in your paper at
various times opinions given in regard to the
Port Orchard dry dock. 1t has been said that it
was lucky for Mr.. Braunigan that the bids were
readvertised for. / say the work can be done at
his bid and leave fair margin of profit If he is
allowed to do what is right. If they make him
remove material already there that forms a
better construction than anything that
can be placed there by the hand of
man it will make difference. All OF
the dry docks in the East are made in
alluv.al deposits aud have to be sunk below their
bottoms TO get a foundation. But here, in all
probability, at least twenty of the thirty feet
they propose to cxcavate is a sandstone lorna
ton. nearly, if not quite, as hard as the stone
brought here for building purposes. II they
will cut out the dry dock in this rock they will
have natural solid walls that cannot be excelled
by masonry. In this way the work can
be done cheaper by at least 50 per cent.
II they have chosen q site where the rock Is not
hard or where there is a crack i'll the bottom OF
the formation, they had better change at once
or they will have trouble, just as they have had
at Portland. have had long experience
with this sandstone formation, and investiga-
ton will prove the truth of my statements.

Scarcity Of Cara For Shingl "A.

The production of shingles has in
creased so rapidly of late that there has
been scarcity of empty cars to load them
in. The Northern Pacific makes a point
of loading with shingles all cars which are
unloaded in the Sound country and cannot
find other loads. The demand for cars
from the shingie mills has now overrun
this source of supply, and for a week or SO
the Lake Shore has had demand for ten
more cars day to load with shingles than
it could supply, and the Seattle d North
ern has been short twenty-five cars week.
This shortage was made up to some ex-
tent yesterday by the arrival of fifty cars

DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 22-United States Judge
Mccormick, in a decision in the case OF the rail-
roads againgt the Texas railroad commissioners,
decided every point in favor Of the railroad
companies and granted an Injunction against
the commissioners restraining them from estab-
fishing the proposed rates. These rates pro-
posed by the commission, the railroads claimed,
would have compelled them to run the roads at
q serious loss
The decree reviews Texas railroad building
and the agitation leading to adoption of the
constitution and the amendment authorizing
the commission. Judge Mccormick then says
there Is no such collision between the COM
planning trust companies aud the railroads
shown as would prejudice tho rights
OF trust companies to file bills. More
over, the trust companies show an equitable in
te,cst in tho face earnings OF the railroads, and
actual ownership and possession of securities of
the roads which are being injured and threat
enet with destruction by the railroad commits
sions acts. They show further, that the rail-
roads are coerced by the commission and
directors cannot exercise their judgment and
discharge their duties as they should
and would but for said coercion. The court
then goes on to show that the railroads were
built under extreme hardship opening up new
country, and having to wait long time for re-
turns also that the character OF the soil Is such
as to render it extremely difficult to construct
and maintain sound roads, and the proper cost
of the plants they exist today exceeds the
amount OF the bonded indebtedness. The earn
ings OF these roads, says the court, have not
been diverted to improper uses, and none of
these railroads, except the Gulf, Colorado &
santa Fe, have dividends

d. c. Shepherd Talks on the Great
Northern-New Time Card.

A new rate on fruit and vegetables from
Eastern Washington TO Seattle and Ia
coma has been made by the Northern Pa
cific road, which innovates radical re-
duction from former rates. The rates on
green fruit, including melons and toma-
toes, and excepting small berries, in
straight car loads. or on green fruit and
vegetables in mixed car loads, from Spo-
kane and all points west of that point on
the main line and branches, to Seattle and
Tacoma, is so cents; less than car loads, 81.
The rate previous to this reduction was
81. 20 on green fruit and so cents on vegeta-
bles in car loads, and mixed car load were
charged the less than car load rate. Thus
this is an enormous reduction.
