AN EXCITING RACE
The Reliance and Columbia

IN YACHT CLUB TEST OF SPEED

Starting-The Sham
rocks.

Bateman's Point, II. l., June 20
The Reliance, Columbia and Constitu-
tion started today in the first of six
races scheduled to take place in New
port waters this week under the direc-
tion of the New York Yacht club. The
conditions for the race were almost
perfect. AS seen from the shore the
starting time was: Constitution, IL:
1913; Reliance, 12:15:1S; Columbia,
12:15:42. The course provided for a
sail to the windward 15 miles and run
home. The wind was blowing about
twelve knots.
Fifteen minutes after the start the
Reliance had established herself in a
fine position. Meanwhile the Colum-
bia had slipped in between the other
two boats and engaged in an exciting
struggle with the Reliance. The Con-
stitution early had some trouble with
her headsails and dropped back al
most three-quarters of mile.
The Reliance won over the Column
bia by minutes ~ seconds. The
Constitution was about the same time
behind the Columbia.
The ShamrOcks Race.
New York, June 29.-Sir Thomas
LiptOn's new cup challenger Shamrock
IIIhas been given her first test in Unit
ed States waters in an informal trial
with Shamrock 1 off Sandy Hook. In
the first ten miles of fifteen-mile beat
to windward. in q very light air, the
new boat beat the old one about ten
minutes. and in run of fifteen miles
to leaward. nine minutes.
There was a long, gentle sea. and the
new challenger slipped cleanly over it,
making little fuss under her bow. TAX
ing into consideration the assertion by
British Satchmen that Shamrock 1 is
ten minutes faster in thirty-mile
course than she ever was. and fully as
much faster than Shamrock II, the
new boats first performance on this
side of the Atlantic marks her as prob
ably the most dangerous challenger Sir
Thomas has brought over.

ATTACKS TERMINAL RAILWAY
st. Louis Attorney Files Petition
Against Monopoly.

st. Louis. Aug 31.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Jefferson City, Nc,
says:
Attorney General Grow Saturday
struck his first blow at the so-called ter
ninal monopoly which, it is claimed, is
throttling the commerce of st. Louis,
by instituting before the Missouri SUI
preme court quo warranto proceedings
to annul the charters of the st. Louis
Merchants bridge Terminal Railway
company, the Virgins Ferry company
and the st. Louis Terminal Railroad
association. The petition is of a sweep
ing character and charges in effect that
the railroads centering at st. Louis have
formed practically a conspiracy to con-
troll the arteries of trade throughout the
Mississippi valley. The aggregate
wealth of the railroad companies COM
posing the so-called terminal combine
and holding therein a joint proprietary
interest is computed at $500. 900, 900.

held at Belleville Saturday. 1t was well
attended and all present seemed to have
a good time. The music was furnished
by male quartette and by the two
Belleville bands. Mayor Wells made the
address of welcome which was respond
ed to by Major H. N. Boyd Brief
speeches were made by a half dozen or
more old settlers all Of which were we'll
received. Governor ". J. Bailey was
the chief attract and made his first
appearance before a Republic county
audience: His speech of over one hour
was attentively listened to by an audi
ence estimated at from three to five
thousand people. The governor recounted
the deeds of heroism performed by our
early pioneers and also discussed the
subject of good citizenship and higher
civilization. He also talked to the young
men and young women urging them to
lead clean and pure lives if they expect
ed to succeed in the battle of life The
only reference he made to political sub
Jects was when he discussed, for a few
minutes, the reason why no approprla-
ton was made for the flood sufferers
He submitted as a fundamental rule of
government that it is the duty of indi-
viduals to support the state instead of
the state supporting individuals Those
who attended were practically unani-
nous in their praises of the governors
speech. Many who have heretofore
trained with the "bossbusters" ANNOUNCE
ed after the delivery of the governors
speech that they were now enthusiastic

that, although a part of the outfit has
been removed to other work on the
road, the remainder of the plant is at
the several camps along the cutoff and
will be kept there ready to resume
work when ordered 1t is also the opin-

Rock Island alliance has not been de-
MED that work will be resumed on the
cutoff much sooner than expected.

Lots of New Orient Town Are Going
Fast

Wichita, Kas., Aug. 31.-Ten thou
sand dollars worth of lots in new town
of less than $50 inhabitants is a pretty
good sale for one day by one man, but
that is the record made by W. c. Ed
wards in the new town of Fairview.
on the Orient, in Woods county, Okla
homa. Mr.. Edwards, who is just from
Kansas City, said it was little the
best piece of work, all things consld-
cred. that h ever did.
Il had a good proposition" said he
''and the men ! dealt with had money
to invest, ana they know good thing
when they see it"
The men who invested so freely in
the new town comprised a party OF
capitalists from Chicago, Atchison and
Nortonville. There were about 35 In
by special train. 1t will not be con-
sidered very strange when it is known
that Fairview is the terminus of the
division extending south from Wlch-
tia and is destined to become good
town. 1t is well located. in a hne sec
ton of agricultural country, with no
towns near enough to interfere with its
growth.
At present. Fairview is the southern
terminus of the road and though reg
ular trains have been running into the
town less than a month quite build
ing boom has already begun. Mail
service to the new town will probably
be put on about a. week from Sunday.
as possible south from Fairview to a
distance of 25 miles. The grade for
most of this distance has been COM
pleted. There is one heavy job of rock
work where it is necessary to cut
through a hill that will probably de-
lay the work about 20 days. There are
about 5000 yards of this rock to move
and as it is very hard it is giving the
contractors considerable trouble. 1t is
now thought that the track will be
completed into Longdale by the first
of October.
At present, General Manager Dick
inson, General Superintendent Fahy,
Chief Engineer Paret and w. A. Will
liams. vice president of the Orient
Construction company, are on tour
of inspection along the line in Okla
homa. They passed through this city
day before yesterday, and expected to
go as far south as Arapahoe.
Work is progressing slowly on the
Orient grade between Milton and this
city. One contractor is at work ten
miles south of Wichita. and w. H.
Brinkman, another contractor, will be-
gin work this side of the Cow Skin
some time next week. Brinkman has
a machine for the purpose of grading
and it is able to turn off work very
rapidly
Mr. 0. G. Burrows, speaking of the
rumored change in time of the Orient
trains by which they would leave this
city in the morning, said today thas
no such arrangement has been made
so far as he knew, and he was of the
opinion that no such change would be
made very soon at least.
