line. The turning marks are outside the
triangle to port and starboard, according
as they are each sent around. The
third, fourth and fifth races shall De to
windward or to leeward and return.
Second and fourth races shall be around
an equatorial triangle. One day snail
intervene between each racing day under
special agreement. race postponed or
not finished within the time limit shall be
decided before the next race is teken up.
Although the measurements of the De-
fender and Vallxyrie will not be announc-
ed officially until next Friday, and possi-
bly, not until Saturday, enough has been
learned to make a reasonably correct es-
Innate of the racing lengths and time
allowance given by the challenger. The
big sloop contesting for the cup that the
American boat has held will give time,
although 1t will not be as great as was
expected. The racing lengths, as csti-
mated by well known designer and ex-
rert are 1913 for the Vall1yrle and 10O.O2
for the Defender. Under the rules this
would mean an allowance of a little less
than a minute on a 3O-mile course.

Looks Like BraytOn Ives Will Win
His Point and That Other Re-
ceivers Will Be Appointed.

Seattle, Sept. 4.-Sllas w. Petit, coun-
sci for Brayton Ives and the Northern
Pacific, who has secured an order citing
the receivers to appear October and
show cause why they should not be re-
moved, left from Tacoma today for the
East.
He says the receivers will in all prob
ability not be able to furnish the $780,
COO bond required Of each of them by
Judge Hanford, because of the revela-
tions to be made at the coming hearing.
He will prove, he says, that wholly with
out the authority of the court they have
paid William N. Cromwell, general coun-
sel salary of $4,000 a year; that the
receivers have paid themselves each a.
salary of $4,000 year. also without the
authority of the court; that they have
paid special counsel at the Oakes hear
ing, before Master Carri. Of Judge Jen-
kins' court, $4,000, and that they have
dragged into the case in Judge Hanford's
court ex-senator Dolph and Senator
of Oregon, each a high priced
man, and that to pay them will be on
tirely beyond the receivers power.
The total surcharges, Mr.. Petit says,
will exceed 100000, which will necessarily
have to be paid by the bondsmen, should
the receivers secure bondsmen; and for
That very reason they will not be able
to secure bondsmen.

THE COUNTY, COURT.
Considerable Routine Business Transact
od-The Session Will Close Today.

Yesterday the county court transacted
much routine business and would have
adjourned had not advices been received
from prominent Portland architect that
he would be here today to submit plans
for the new court house.
The principal event of the session was
the issuance of an order instructlng the
assessor to proceed at once to collect
the state poll tax of $1.0O from each in
habitant OF the county. The order reads
that If the tax is not paid by the citizens
the names Of delinquents are to be turn
ed over to the sheriff, who Shall proceed
to enforce collections in the manner pro-
vided by law. The court stated that a
mans personal property could be seized
or his wages garnishoed for such tax, and
that 1t was the opinion of the court that
this tax ought TO be collected as n mat
ter of Justice in order to provide fund
for the prosecution of criminals. 1t was
stated that the county pays out a great
deal of money yearly for tile prosecution
of criminals In behalf of people who are
not residents, or who at least are not
tax payers.
The court also stated thai they were
disappointed In the action OF the can
rerymen, who early in the season had
promised to assist In the collection of the
tex, but who have since refused to give
the names of their employees. These men
are all voted at the polls and the court
is of the opinion that the tax should be
collected or else the question settled once
for all.
In an interview Assessor Gibbons said
that he would carry out the instructions
OF the court, make demand for the tax,
end turn over the names Of the delln-
quents to the sheriff
Sheriff Hare says that he will carry
out the orders of the court so far as he
can, but does not propose to take any
chences under his bond Of getting into
trouble.
Deputy Assessor Hardesty started out
yesterday afternoon under the new in
structions of the court to collect this
tax. In nearly every case he met with
absolute refusal and the general impress
sion seems to be that the tax cannot le-
gally be collected.

HOP PIcKERs.
Large Numbers of People Going Into the
Fields.

Salem Sept. /, 1895.
To the Editor Of the Astorian:-
The streets were alive all day yester-
day with teams conveying hop-pickers
and their camping outfits TO the many
fields in Marion and Polk counties. II
Is surprising to see what large numbers
of people are going out into the hop
fields this year. The hop-piekers are not
OF the laboring class only, but among
the vast armies may be found families
OF comfortable incomes, and in some
cases even of wealth.
a hop yard of ordinary size will give
employment to one hundred persons,
while many yards will employ more. A
picker Will usually be able to earn from
Sl.OO to N6O per day and enjoy pleasant
outing at the same time, returning to the
city with renewed strength and health,
as well as with honestly earned money
that will serve to tighten the burden OF
the hard times.

1T is strange" said a leading citizen
yesterday, why no interest Is yet being
shown in the matter of preparing an ex-
hfbit for the Portland Exposition. Even
though no immediate money returns are
realized from the display, yet as a mere
matter of pride. and in order to show
outsiders what Clatsop county can pro-
duce, splendid exhibit Of the tlshiug
Industry, farm products, and forestry

mot alone should the cannerymen

hibits should be prepared on the broad
scale of showing the resources Of the
county as a whole and for the benefit
Of the community In order that strangers
who see may know what inducements
we have to offer settlers to come to this
county. Ocular demonstration Is more ef-
fectlve than volumes of written descrip-
tions, and just now when every effort
is being made to advance the prosperity
OF Astoria and Clatsop county all ought
to heartily join hands In so important
matter The expense to each would be
trihing compared with the benefits to be

THEY ARE LOSING MONEY.
And Huntington Is Not Drawing Any
Princely Salary.

San francisco, Sept. Am effort was
made today by the railroad commission
ers to learn how much c. p. Huntington
earned for being president Of the South
ern Pacific. Attorney Martin, for the
railroad company, objected to what he
called an inqulsition and all the curious
commissioners and the public learned
was that for twenty years Huntington
had been receiving the same salary with
out raise, and that his wages are less
than those Of any of his hired men. The
whole tendency of today's inquiry went
to show that the Southern Pacific conf
pany had been playing losing game
and that reduction in rates would
prove ruinous.
