BOATING BIZ MOONLIGHT.
Splendid Trial of Speed by Regulator and
Dalles City.

Dalles City.
Friday afternoon the D. P. & A.
N. Co. invited large number OF ladies
and gentlemen to take riIe on the
fine steamer Regulator, it being her
final trial trip after having been re-
paired and supplied with new hull,
and about $50 persons took advantage
of the Invitation to spend an after.
noon on the river.
When the boat left here at 2:3O the
sun was shining brightly and slight
wind was blowing, but when Crates
point was passed the wind had &C.
quired velocity of about 80 miles an
hour, and was lashing the water into a
perfect foam. The Regulator rode the
breakers like duck, and proved be.
yond doubt that it is going to be fine
rough water vessel, much better than
it was with its old hull.
The Dalles City was met at White
Salmon, and arrangements were made
for race from Lyle to The Dalles,
distance of L inc miles, after the Oalles
City had discharged its freight. Con-
siderable time was taken up at differ
ent landings where the discharge of
freight was necessary, and it was 6:25
before the boats "cleared for action"
at Lyle, and started on their run for
home to determine which was the
swifter of the two.
When the gongs were sounded to 60
ahead, the Regulator was carrying $50
pounds of steam, and Engineer Charles
Granlin said the engines were working
in perfect order, though the boiler was
not in frst-class shape as workmen
were busy all the time covering it with
asbestos, which lessened its ability to
produce steam. Captain Fred Sher-
man was at the wheel, and when he
gave the signal to go ahead the staunch
craft pushed itself into the waters of
the Columbia like dart. But it had
worthy competitor in The Dalles
City, which was in charge of Captain
Sherman Short, with Engineer Guy
Tbayer hold of the lever. and as the
Dalles City twas carrying 16O pounds
OF steam she was able to turn her
wheel little faster than the Regu.
lator, but could not forge ahead of the
pride of The Dalles. The two boats
glided along in the splendid moon.
light like two big swans. the Regula-
tor holding the lead all the way some-
times 500 feet ahead, while occasionally
The Dalles City would come up within
length of her. When they slowed
up near the dock at the foot of Court
street the Regulator was about $50
feet in the lead. and on consulting
watches it was discovered the run of
nine miles had been made in just 33
minutes.
The little friendly contest between
the two boats developed the fact that
the D. P. & A. N. Co. now posses two
of the fastest boats in the Northwest,
and unquestionably they are as staunch
as can be built, for the hulls have
double frames, bolted together with
carriage bolts, and thus made as solid
as is possible to make wooden vessel.
Besides this they are supplied with
every convenience for the accomoda-
tion Of passengers, and are vessels in
which not only the company but the
entire community may we'll take a
pride.

FOR SELF PROTECTION.
Wasco County Reserve Protective Associa-
tion Organized.

tion Organized.
Last Saturday meeting was held in
Dufur attended by 81 cattle raisers and
farmers, and at the meeting an orgahi-
cation was formed to be known as the
Wasco County Reserve Protective
Association. The object Of the asso-
citation is to protect the water supply
on the east slope of the Cascade noun
taips, in Wasco county, it being held
that the ranging of sheep on the head
waters of creeks leading from the
mountains lessons the water supply
along the foothills and in the valleys
OF the mountain streams. 1t is there
fore the purpose of the association TO
use all legitimate means to keep sheep
out of the timber reserve, sand to fur.
uish the department with evidence
substantiating the claims that sheep
grazing on the mountain range effects
the water supply.
The association was permanently or
gauized by the election of I. D. Driver,
president; A. j. Dufur, vice president;
NJ. J. Anderson, secretary; Geo. Johne
ston, treasurer. The mem mbership fee
in the association was placed at one
dollar, and the next meeting will be
held in Dufur on April 9Th, at which
time all parties in sympathy with the
aims of the organization are invited
to be present.

A bowling match will take place in
the near future at the D. c. & A..
club between the ladies and gentle
men. These matches are always very
interesting and whenever the tourna-
ment takes place it will be sure to
draw an enthusiastic crowd of specta-
tors. The match will consist of four
genes, the ladies receiving suitable
handicap SO that it will certainly be
close and exciting. At first it was the
intention to have the tournament to-
morrow evening, but as some of the
ladies cannot be here on that occasion
it will be indefinitely postponed.

INGERSOLL'S TRIBUTE To
CHRIST.

In a letter written sometime ago
to Eli Perkins when he was COM
piling a book on "Kings Of Plat
form and Pulpit, +" Mr.. Ingersoll
wrote:
In using my speeches do not
use any assault ! may ave
thoughtlessly made on Christ,
which foolishly made in my early
life. Wish Renan, / believe Christ
was The one perfect man. DO
Others is the perfection Of
religion and morality. 1t is
the summum bonum. 1t was
lottier than the teachings Of Soc
rates. Plato, Mohammed, Moses
or Confucius. 1t superseded the
commandments that Moses claim
ed to have gotten from God, for
with Christ's do nto-others there
could be no murder, lying, covet-
BUSINESS or war. 1t superseded
Greek patriotism, Roman forti-
tude or Anglo Saxon bravery, for
with do-unto- others, bravery and
patriotism would not be needed. "
This is a beautiful tribute to
Christ from an unexpected source.
But it is evidently an unwilling
tribute, and compelled by sheer
justice. It is a remarkable fact
that whatever the objection pee-
pie may offer to Christianity, no
one has been able to find any OBJ
lection to the character of Christ.
Although the light of nineteen
centuries has been thrown upon
it, his character stands out pure
and spotless. Yea, though the
search-light Of this nineteenth
century has been thrown full upon
it, it still remains without flaw
Jesus Christ was the ideal man of
all the ages, 'tthe realized ideal
of humanity as Heine called
him. There is only one explana-
ton of his character. 1t is the
one the Bible gives, but which
Mr.. Ingersoll was unwilling tc
accept-and that is, that Jesus
was, as he claimed to be, the Son
of God as we'll as the Son of Man,
God manifest in the flesh, I'm
manuel, God with US. s.-Baptisl

is to remove Otis and put Miles
at the head Of the army in the

he does not do this is because
Miles is a democrat, and McKin-

and that any attempt to forecast
the crop this early in the season
is the worst sort of guesswork.
