NEWPORT Or. u, July 22-After a
night of expectancy among the yachts
men it was announced by Oliver c.
Iselin this morning that there would

broken link of the mainsheet blocks on
the Defender was replaced this morning
and Captain Rhodes at s o'clock an
nounced that, as far as he was con.
cerned, the Defender was ready for the
race.
Mr.. Duncan of the Defender called on
Mr.. Iselin aboard the Columbia, and
after a consultation stated that they
had finally decided to go outside for a
little scrap" and while there would
be no formal race, they would start
from the Brenton Reef lightship and
run down on the Point Judith course if
the conditions were favorable.
At 11:4o the Columbia left her moor
ings and stood down the harbor under
mainsail, working topSail and jib. The
Defender preceded the new boat about
fifteen minutes and moved slowly down
under three lower sails. baby jib, top
sail and club topsail. The wind was
light from the northwest. having shift

slowly toward Beaver Tails light. Then
the wind came in fresh from the south
The Columbia, getting the shift first

out to Brenton's Reef lightship. The
Defender followed the Columbia down
past the lightship without making any
attempt to cross the line. or make the
racing start until both boats were half
a mile beyond the lights. Then they
came together and stood off in a south
erly direction for a couple of miles.
Both tackled in shore and finally came
about, heading for Point Judith. Large
jib topsails were set. and the yachts
reached over to the point with the De-
fender in the lead. The Columbia was
towing a tender and carried a working
topsail. Honors were about even.
AT 2:20 the yachts came about and
headed back toward the lightship, then
about four miles away. The easterly
breeze was freshening steadily, and
great speed was made. The Columbia
was to windward. and when they luffed
up at Brenton's Reef she had worked
out ahead. They sailed the four miles
in about twenty minutes. and came up
to their moorings at $3.50.

THE LOUISIANA LYNCHING.
Likely to be the Subject Of Inter

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The lynch
ing of five Italians in Louisiana yester-
day promises to assume an interna-
tional aspect through the action of the
Italian Government.
Count Vinchi. the Italian Charge
d 'Affaires, called at the State Depart

Pearl Harbor.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Although
the last river and harbor bill contained
an appropriation for the Improvement
of the mouth of Pearl harbor, Hawaiian
Islands, so that vessels could enter,
nothing will be done about carrying the
act into effect. The determination was
reported by the Secretary of War; upon
the request of naval authorities. 1t
is deemed best not to make those i'm
provements until the station for a Pa
cific cable has been selected. Antici-
pating this, a syndicate has acquired
all the available property, and holds
it at a figure so high that the Navy
Department does not believe in pur-
chasing it, At present the harbor of
Honolulu will answer all purposes.

STATE AID FoR ROADS.
IL Has solved the Problem of Road
IMPROVEMENT.

The improvement Of country roads
the principal arteries Of commerce and
travel-has not kept pace with the de-
velopment Of transportation facilities
by rail and water. says Otto Posner in
Forum. The country road seems %
have been a stepchild Of legislatures
Its construction and Improvement have
been left almost entirely in the hands OF
the farmer. and the rural district l. not
equal to the occasion. Road building
requires method and system. consid-
cradle investment of funds. judiciOus
fnanciering. careful economy and. above
all. scientific knowledge. The farmer
too often fails to bring any of these es-
sentials into his road building efforts.
working out the road tax is general
IL farce. Our average country high
ways are little better today than they
were at the close of the civil war.
The present losses from bad roads in
the United States are enormous. lnves-
LEGATIONS made in 1900 counties
throughout the country 10y the United
States office of road inquiry show that
the average load of crops drawn TO mar
ket in the United States weighs :, OOs
pounds - practically ton - varying
from 1897 pounds in some states to
2. 400 pounds in others. Collateral in
ycstigations Of the Office made through
United States consuls abroad show the
average load of crops hauled in Europe
to be upward of tons. In the consular
district of Munich. Germany. the aver
age load is ga tons, and in that of
Hanover, it is practically q tons, load
which a good team there can haul for
an all day trip. Let us assume that loads
of farm produce in this country are one
half or oue-third of what they are in
Europe. and some conception may be
formed Of the enormous waste OF effort
in hauling them. The road inquiry Office
states the cost of hauling to be % cents
per ton per mile in the United States.
while reports from our consuls show 1t
| to be only s. 6 cents per ton per mile IN
Europe Il trife more than one-third of
what it is with us.
While often admitting the need OF
better highways. the average farmer II
! inclined to resent any attempt to inter
fere with his road building methods,
which he considers peculiarly his own
affair. No reform. therefore, can be
forced upon him. Any proposed plan OF
road improvement, to be successful,
must leave it optional with him to avail
himself of its provisions or not, as be
may choose. The initiative must be left
in his hands
The state aid system seems to have
solved the problem of country road i'm
provement to the farmers satisfaction.
! This system has been adopted in several
states. but is most successfully in opera.
ton In New Jersey, where ii was first
introduced about five years ago.
This system Of state aid divides the
cost Of road improvement between the
state. the county and the owners OF
abutting property improvements are
made only upon petition from the lat,
ter. stating the character of the i'm
provements 20 be made and corsentinp
to an assessment of their property &c
