was rather a costly experiment for the
public. with whom Unmasked has al
ways been a prime favorite. The public
was overjoyed to get as good as even
money against Unmasked, but it did
not know until the horses were on tho
way to the post that the favoritc was
badly handicapped.
Unmasked started without blinkers,
and in the race he had no speed, finish
ing far behind horses that he would
have beaten under usual conditions.
After the race the stewards sent word

Yaeger's Wonderful Luck.

That Jaeger is reveling in an eXtraor-
binary streak of luck is illustrated by a
combination of circumstances which at
tached to the first race. and which was
all I'm his favor. 1t is a question whether
Yaeger intended betting heavily on MI
mosa. 1t is a fact that he did not accept
the opening price Of 5 to l. His commits
sioners, however, quickly brought him
word that Sol IAchtenstein and
jack Mcdonald were taking all :he
) TO l they could see about the FLY. This
made Yaeger set on foot an inquiry as
to why they were betting. He soon
learned that the favorite. Unmasked.
was out Of the way, and the disposal of
John McCue's gelding made race an
easy thing for Mimosa- Unmasked was
not permitted to wear blinkers. He had
never raced without them. and his train
er. Frank Weir, said that he would sulk
without them.

All things considered the Oregon
Board of Portage Railway commissions
ers cannot see any occasion for a
change in its policy in the matter of
securing right of way for and con-
structing the Cello portage road. and
IN all Likelihood this plan will be fol-
lowed out to the letter. This means
that no steps will be taken toward TAX
ing up the portage road matter until
the right of way for the government
canal shall have been secured clear of
ercumbrance and turned over to the
government.
This was the position taken by the
board at Salem Tuesday afternoon. af
ter the receipt of an answer to the
communication addressed to Major
Langtitt, of the government engineer
corps, at Portland, asking his opinion
on the possibility of the states secur-
ing permission from the government
for the temporary use of the canal
right of way for the portage railway;
whether he would recommend such a
course to the government, and asking
his advice in the matter
Major Langfitt, in his letter. calls at
tentiOn to some correspondence which
took place between Attorney General
Crawford and himself, in which it was
stated that ne would not recommend
the acceptance of the right of way en-
numbered by any provisos for the con-
struCtion of the portage railway over
any portion thereof, as it would seem
much better for the state to acquire
the canal right of way unencumbered
! by any provisos whatever and to trans
| fer the same to the United States.
He thinks, however. that if. after this
right of way mas been transferred to
| the United States. it is found that the
| portage railway can be temporarily
| constructed over some portion of it
| without interference. it would seem
| that the United States might allow
this Major Langitt is very careful
not to commit himself in any manner
and takes the position that he could
not assume what attitude the govern
| ment officials would take in the matter,
feeling that it would be presuming too
| much on his part.

Fair Sex Of College Place Call on
County Commissioners.

The situation at College Place is still
strained. A delegation of ladies from
that place waited on the county COM
mlssioners yesterday afternoon and
entertained them at length with a re-
cital of neighborhood complications.
The trouble is all over the road which
the county commissioners were to
open. The county was to close up
its road through the school property
providing the directors would give
them 80 feet off the side to add to the
street On the south so that the people
could get out. This was agreed to by
majority of the board of directors but
the chairman dissented actively when
an attempt was made to open the road
and would not allow it, Meanwhile the
other directors acting on the assump-
ton that every tning was all right

TO RERUME SPRINKLING.
Water Wagons Will Be Run During
the Night.

At a conference held last night by
members of the city council, Mayor
Hunt and Water superintendent
Knight it was decided to resume street
sprinkling tonight, when number Of
the carts will be put into commission
again.
Superintendent Knight reported that
the reservoirs were gradually filling
up again and he was of the opinion
that the street sprinkling could be re-
sumed without any danger of dimin-
ishing the supply. BY putting the wa
ter on the streets at night it will soak
into the ground and moisten the under
crust. This will only require about
half as much water as it does in the
,1ay time, when the warm sun soon
evaporates the water.
There appears to be a general dis
position on the part of the citizens to
be saving with the water and if they
will only continue to be careful in the
use of water there will be no neces-
sity of cutting off the sprinkling again.
number Of people have been detect
ed in sprinkling lawns out Of hours
and quite a number Of fines have been
paid into the water Office for violation
Of the regulations Of the department
