THE YACHT RACES.

The first race in the International ' acht races for America cup be- sween the Columbia and Shamrock was sailed Tuesday over the Sandy Hook course and was declared off on account of slow winds.
 There will in all proba bility be five races. The next race is set for Saturday; the third race will be sailed on Oct. 10. the fourth on Oct. IA, and tbe fifth, if it=requires a dflh, will be sailed on Oct. 16. These dates, however, are not final, and may be changed to suit the con- venience of the owners of the con testing yachts, or on account of the weather. To win the cup, one of .sbe vessels must out sail the other in three races at least.
 Aug. 9, 1851, the yacht America won the cup by twenty minutes in a race lasting ten hours and thirty seven minutes around the Isle of Wight, starting from GoWes. =s'Originally the cup was offered by Ghe Royal Yacht Squadron of Eng land as a prize to be sailed for once year by yachts of all nations. , says the Chicago Record. Since that time numerous attempts have been made by British and Canadian varehtsmeu to recover the cup. All of them have resulted in failures. Beginning with 1885 the contests acquired rivalry in designing and constructing as well as iu manipu- lating, and since that time English. built yachts have gradually depart ed from the narrow, deep draft yes sci that was first utilized In the races until now the Shamrock has attempted to oatdo the American sskimming dish model The Colum- 6ia and Shamrock are very much alike and the result may rest upon manipulation aud the weather, while heretofore it has been determined largely by the types of the vessels.

Busy Animals.

The fox is dealer in poultry, but he is nothing more nor less than thief Eat ducks and chickens are his delight, and a plump rabbit comes next best
 The otter and the heron are fisher men. The otter is not often seen, for he carries on his work mostly under the water, but the heron stands with his long. thin legs in the water wait ing till a fish comes by. Then a sud den plunge with his long, sharp bill and the poor fish is brought up and swallowed
 The ants are the busiest of all. Catch an ant asleep in the daytime if you can. They are always in earnest at their work building their underground homes and laying up stores of food for the long winter.
 The swallow is a fly catcher, and skins low over the surface of the little streams. It takes great many flies to feed him for just one day, and he is forever at work.
 The beaver Is wood cutter, a build CT and mason It cuts down the small trees with it's teeth, and. after it has built it's house, it plasters it with it's tail.
 The snail, too, is builder. but it cakes the material for it's house fpoua Its own body. It is 50 anxious to begin work that it commences to build its house before it is even matched.
 The mole that burrows under the ground makes a little fort under the earth from which it tunnels in every direction. and 1t makes such clever paths that 1t can run from one to the other and can scarcely be caught.
 The los do not all live in hives or tree trunks. The mason bee digs a hole i'll brick wall and lines it with clay. In this nest it lays two eggs and closes it up. The miner bee bores long holes in the sandbanks and the car penter bees bore their tunnels in wood. The upholsterer bee lines his nest with poppy leaves. The rose leaf cutter takes a leaf between its jaws. begins near the stalk and cuts out a circle of just the right size and as perfect as as could be marked with a compass. With these circles of fragrant rose leaf 1t divides it's round hole in the wall into little calls.

Mr.. Morton, of Wasco, has the follow
ing bill on the clerks desk to knock out
the business of treating: 'That any
person who shall in any saloon or place
where liquors are sold, give or treat
another to any drink or other quantity
of spirituous, malt or vinous liquors,
with intent that the same shall be drank
or consumed by the person so treated,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof, shall be pun
ished by fine of not less than $5 nor
more than $40, or by imprisonment in
the county Jail of the county where such
ofense is committed, not less than two
nor more than ten days." An emergency
clause is attached.
The Telegram says:
"If the bill of Morton of Wasco county
to prohibit treating in barrooms, intro
duced in the house yesterday, becomes &

The Pet of the Family yaken.

This morning at O'Clock Leo, the g.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Hark
ness. died of spinal meningitis at their
home on the corner of Tenth and Union
streets.
The little fellow, who has been sick
but short time, was not thought to be
in a dangerous condition, but complained
continually of his back hurting, especial
ly when he was moved, and number
of bruises were finally found on it.
These, it is thought might have been
caused when coasting. However, he
said nothing concerning an accident.

last week.

THE MILL TO BE OURS.
Hr, Fox Says All Necessary Now is for the Deeds to Be
 Passed.

Pine Bluff has taken one big stride 5n the right direction. The Austin < Sawyer mill is ours, says Mr. Austin, and so says Mr. Fred Fox. For several days it was ramored that the requirements had been met and that the Austin & Sawyer mill and railroad were assured things tbat Pine Bluff had gone down in the slit of her trousers and drawn forth the WhereWith to sec dre them, but this was not definitely known bo be a fact until Saturday. la fact it was not a fact until then. The necessary subscription had been se- cured Friday, but this subscription had to be perfected-put in com mercial form-and necessary ar engagements had to be made, and Friday afternoon and Saturday morning were consumed in this ef. fort. But now the strain is over, and we are assured that work vill begin at once. Mir. Austin gave out Saturday afternoon that a corps of sixteen surveyors would be put to work Monday locating Ithe line for his railroad to the timber district, while a large force of men will be engaged at once o1 the mill, and an effort will be made to rush both to completion
 MT. Fred Fox, President of the Commercial League, was seen Sat urday afternoon by tbe Graphic man. Mr. Fox said all that was necessary now was for the deeds to pass, aud that the enterprise was now assured.
 It is now understood that the conditions under which this enter. prise has been secured places the company under no obligations as to the length of the road to be built, but the mill will be just as large as certified in the original proposition. As to the site for the mill, it is thought the plot of ground on West Sixth avenue, just beyond the new compress, will be purchased for that purpose.
