Southampton, Eng, May 6.-The

morning. A fresh, squally northeast
wind promised just the conditions Cant
Sycamore desired to supplement Satur-
days light-breeze trial. The chief
interest now centres in the Gun cbal-
lenger's behavior when poking her long
bow into rough sea.
When the two Shamrocks were still
inside Southampton water, the wind
drew north, and became lighter. The
challenger set q club topsail, and the
Shamrock set much larger club ton
sail. They bad the wind dead aft down
the water. The challenger went out
under mainssil and topsail only. The
Shamrock l set a jib. At the start,
the challenger ran out ahead, but the
Shamrock |, catching better breeze,
soon began to overhaul her. The ohal-
langer sat q iib and staysail, but,
though the breeze here was light and
the water smooth, the Shamrock held
close astern, losing nothing from Netley
to- Calsbot. There, they hauled In the
brseze, the challenger leading by half
minute passing the Spit Light.
THE SHAMROCK I WINS.

COMMENTS OF CORRESPONDENT
New York, May G. "A yachting CORE.
spundent of the Times, after asserting
that Saturdays trial justifies tie high
opinions already expressed about the
challenger, comments OF the absence Of
resistanoa, and says:
She makes deal OF fuss on the
surface, but there is no drag UNDER
meath. She skins along more sweetIy
and with less apparent resistance than
any other yacht we have yet built on
tGIs side Of the Atlantic.
So far as could be judged, she
see.led to hold q remarkably good wind
and to start quickly away In the
lightest Of breezes. In estimating the
value of the trials, it must be kept in
mind that the conditions were exactly
those in which 1t was expected she
would show to the best advantage.
1.-THE manner in which she justified
high expectations augurs we'll. how
ever, for her performance under other
conditions. -

Council Meeting.

The time of the city council meeting
Monday evening was largely spent in
discussion. The passage Of two ordinances
providing for sidewalks on Eugene and
First streets was the only business Of the
session.
1 The questions Of new quarters for the
city library and beautiiying the city park
called forth general discussion. At q
recent meeting Of the Tsceminicum club
: committee was appointed to confer
with Mayor Beach with view Of taking
steps 70 improve the park. The Mayor
stated the efforts Of the Tsceminicum
club 70 improve the park and spoke en-
couragingly Of the same.
The next meeting Of the council will
be next Monday evening.

the police magistrate, was vetoed on SIM
liar grounds. The governor points out
that the bill gave the magistrate the right
to try without jury in contravention of
the constitution. He also finds the bill
sought to amend the charter with respect
to the assessor of the city, but the mat
ter was not mentioned in the title and
therefore the bill would be void. The
tioual in that it extends special privileges
not embraced in the original charter.
His contention is that there can be no
amendment Of special charter except
ing such as are in harmony with the
general law of the state.

r. 7. Dabnex, Oil Operator. Here.

r. T. Dabney was in the city this week
in the interest Of the Spokane Natural
Gas, Oil and Coal Company of which he
is vice president Through local parties,
Mr.. Dabney is securing leases on lands
near the city with a view of exploring
the same for gas and oil. If satisfactory
leases can be secured. Mr.. Dabney's conf
pany will make thorough test in this
vicinity for oil and gas. Considering
the fact that no development has been
done in this section, the terms of the
lease offered by the company are very
liberal. incidentally, in boring for oil
and gas. the question of artesian water
will also be settled. Lewiston people
therefore will watch with twofold interest
the sinking of wells for oil and gas.

Idaho We.ther.

The highest monthly mean temperature
for the state ct Idaho for Febru. y was
1913 degrees At lewiston. Thus for the
past winter. Lewiston has gained the dis
tinction Of having the mildest weather Of
any place in the state; having the highest
mean in both December and February.
This is due in measure to the fact that
since the establishment Of the u. s.
Weather Bureau Office here, the records
obtained have been absolutely accurate
and by means of the self recording
Instruments with which the Office 4
equipped, many fluctuations in temper
ature are obtained and recorded which
otherwise would escape notice.

That the tide of immigration to the
northwest this year will be the heaviest
ever experienced is no longer a matter Of
conjecture. The advertising done by
railways and commercial bodies has had
the effect of attracting many hundreds of
well-to-do people in the overcrowded
east to this section, where the possibili-
ties Of accumulating a home and COM
potency are better than in their old
home.
Then hard winters, changeable seasons.
low prices, has given encouragement to
many others. The stranger dropping into
this valley at this time when rose bushes
are in leaf, wild flowers in bloom, vege-
tables growing, fruit trees budding aud
all farm work in full blast is at once con-
vinced that Nez Perce county, Idaho is
the wonderland of America. He finds
himself farther north than St. Paul, and
yet with climate equal to South
Carolina, and soil that has no superior on
the habitable globe.
The following dispatch from the
Spokesman Review under st. Paul date,
today tells the story:

ers' excursions began in February the

Reduction in Freight Rates.

The railroads reduce rates on lumber,
fruits and vegetables. A saving Of $780,
600 annually to the Snake river valley.
April material reduction in lumber
rates from the Coast to large part Of
the Inland Empire will go into effect
and similar reduction on fruit and
vegetables from Inland Empire points to
the coast. From Portland or Puget
Sound the rate on lumber, lath, shingles,
fence posts and box shocks to Pendleton,
Athena, Wallula, Walla Walla, Waits
burg, Dayton and Starbuck and intermedi
ate points will be reduced in carload
be from IS cents to IS cents. From the
Coast TO Lacrosse, Washtucna, Winona,
Colfax, Moscow, Oakesdale, Garfield,
Pennington, Spokane, Lewiston and RI
paria the rate will be reduced from IS
cents to 20 cents per 100 pounds in car.
load lots.
On green fruit and vegetables from the
interior to the Coast, in straight or mixed
carloads still greater reduction will be
made. From Walla Walla. Waitsburg
and Dayton the carload rate is now 40
cents per 100 pounds and 60 cents in less
than carloads; from Starbuck aud Pome-
roy the carload rate is 50 cents and less
than carloads 60 at 60 cents. The new
rates from all these places to the Coast
will be 80 cents in carloads and 50 cents
in less than carloads. From Lacrosse,
Washtucna. Winona, Colfax, Pullman,
Oakesdale, Moscow, Garfield, Farming
ton and Spokane the present rates are
20 cents and 81; from Lewiston and Ri
paria the present rates are so cents and
60 cents. Prom all these places the new
rates will be 40 and 80 cents.
The reduction to be effected by the
new rates varies from 20 to 40 per cent.
They apply to points on the o. r. & N,
Northern Pacific and Washington &
Columbia River lines. The Great North
ern does not participate in the reduction.
The story comes from Olympia that
tnis feduction IS IN pursuance OF an agree
ment made between the railroad compa-
nies and producers and shippers in East
ern Washington and that the considera-
ton for it was that the Legislature
should not enact anti-railroad laws. The
schedule was prepared and signed by
Acting General Freight Agent Miller, Of
the o. r. & NJ, and Assistant General
Agent Fulton, Of the Norther Pacific. It
was held until the Legislature had COM
pleted its work and then promulgated by
the companies, without any statement
as to the conditions that gave rise to the
reduction.
Under the new schedule it is estimated
that the annual saving to the Walla
Walla Valley will be about 10000. the
Palouse country will save $aso,ooo to
$500 900 year. and the Snake river val
ley about $Ioo 900. Certain Oregon and
Idaho points figure in the reduction be-
cause they are intermediate and re-
ductions for the longer hauls could not
leave them out.

Boise, Idaho, March I6.-Governor
Hunt was out with his AK today and the
chips fell in all portions of Idaho. He
vetoed IS bills passed by the last legis.
lature aud among them were II road and
bridge bills. The veto message on each
road bill case is as follows:
1.-THE principle Of state aid for county
or local bridge is expressly forbidden in
section I9 .of article of the constitution
and is contrary to public policy. Were
this principle of making appropriations
for local bridges to become settled every
county in the state would make legisla-
ton subservient to their desire to secure
the use of state money for the purpose of
local development and a combination of
interests would inevitably result in the
passage of all bills of this character
These II road and bridge bills carried
$50, 900 and embraced all but the Little
Salmon bills, appropriating $12,ooo,
which was sigued some time ago. The
governor has appointed the following
commission to build the latter road: R.
f. Lockwood. Weiser; James Witt Of
Idaho county, w. H. Cassidy Of Grange
willie.
The bond bill to raise $50 900 for the
road expense was also vetoed.
Other bills vetoed were: Creating the
Office of assistant attorney general, pro-
viding for the protection Of stockmen by
prohibiting shipment Of stock from the
state till after inspection; fish and game
law providing for issuance Of licenses;
providing for the immediate descent Of
community property without necessity Of
probating; appropriating $Ss7 for the re-
lief Of D. w. Ross, being deficiency in
his salary for 1899; appropriatins $500 to
stock Bear lake with trout.
BoIsE, Idaho. March I7.-Last evening
Governor Hunt filed another batch OF We.
toes. Two of these were Of items in the
general appropriation bill. The provision
for stenographer in the Office Of the
secretary Of state was eliminated. 1t car
ried an appropriation Of $1,000. This veto
attracts much attention. Another item
disapproved was one for $I5o for extra
clerk hire for the state superintendent Of
public instruction. The governor also
vetoed the bill making an appropriation
Of ST. 900 to pay unpaid warrants issued
when the state university building was
erected. His reason for this veto is that
the warrants were illegally issued.
| He approved number Of measures.
among which were the following:
Appropriating $r5.673.2o for the pay.
meut Of bills contracted in 1898. in the
purchase Of free text books.

sue Of 5000 in bonds for the purpose d

the veto Of the bill creating the Office

much comment. Il is stated BY person
