Railroad Survey

STEVENSON, Wash, June 25.-Skam-
ania county is just now taking consid-
cradle interest in railroad prospects,
caused by the presence of surveying
party, which is running line down the
north bank of the Columbia river. This
party, which started about two weeks
ago, opposite The Dalles, is now camped
just west of Wind mountain, five miles
above Stevenson. The line, SO far as it
runs, follows the high water mark of the
Columbia very closely, and the en-
gineers report the location and grade
very favorable. The survey is in the
interest of the Columbia Valley Railroad
Company.
The building of this line would prove
of great benefit in developing the many
natural resources of this country, which
at present. lie dormant on account of lack
of transportation facilities. E. NJ
Rands, of Vancouver, accom- mpanies the
party, securing the right Of way.

SAILS FASTER
THAN DEFENDER
American Yacht Columbia Truly a Gem
Of the Ocean.
HER TRIAL
TRIP TAKEN
Met the Old Champion and Vanquished
Her With Ease-Lightning On
Tacks-Canvas Not Yet Well Set.

NEWPORT, R. l., June 25.-The first
trial trip of the new American cuR de-
fender Columbia which took place in
Narragansett bay today was more sue
cessful than either her builders or her
owners had reason to hope. Not only
did the new boat show herself to be sea-
worthy in every particular, but she met
the old racer, Defender, in a friendly
brush of mile to the windward and
vanquieed her with the greatest ease.
The race between the flyers, which was
over in five minutes, was sailed in an
eight-knot breeze under the same condi-
tions, each boat carrying three lower
sails, with sheet well fattened. 1t took
the Columbia about three minutes, sail
ing from the Defenders weather quarter,
to blanket her, and in five minutes she
was 100 yards ahead, going past the old
cup defender as if the latter was an
chored. Under these circumstances it
would seem as if the Columbia were
from fifteen to twenty seconds a mile
faster than the Defender, and if she can
make the same gain in hard blow, the
fear for the safety of the American cup
will be considerably allayed.
The trip today was the builders trial,
and although the managing owner, G!
Oliver Iselin, and a number of his yacht
idg friends were on board, still the Co.
lum bias designer, Nat Herreshof, was
in charge, ,and after the sail down the bay
the boat was towed back to Bristol for a
few minor repairs. 1t is expected that
the boat will have another trial Thurs
day, and by the end OF the week she will
be formerly turned over to Mr.. Iselin.
In the meantime her interior fittings
will be finished and her bowsprit, which
apparently started in the socket in to-
days brush with the Defender, probab-
ly will need some attention. Before the
Columbia left for Bristol Mr.. Iselin ex-
pressed himself as more than satisfied
with her ,and it was a happy lot of yachts
men that watched her performance and
went to Bristol with her tonight.
