YACHT KEATS AUTOMOBILE.
ThompsOn's NADIA Fifteen Minutes Ahead
or Dundy's Pani,ard at Sea Gate Landing.

An automobile against yacht was the
match race INDUCED in yesterday afternoon
by the partners, Messrs. Thompson and
Dundy. of Luna Park Coney Island. The
race began at the Battery, from which point
the yacht, the 100 footer The NADIA, steamed
away at o'clock, carrying Frederic Thomp-
son and party of friends. Elmer S. Dundy
started in his Panhard, crossed the Brook
lyn Bridge and ran through Prospect Park
and out to Coney Island and Sea Gate,
where the yacht was to make her landing.
The race was for a dinner for the friends
of each who might be about at the time
the bet was decided. The two men have
been arguing for weeks over the speeding
powers of the yacht and the Panhard, and
finally it was decided to put them to the
test. The distance. from the Battery 10
Sea Gate by water is said to be about nine
miles BY land it is somewhat longer,
probably eleven miles. Mr.. Durdy said
ne could not afford the time to ride each
morning in the yacht, it being too slow
for him.
The yacht was at her dock just thirty-fv
minutes after leaving the Battery while
the Panhard did not come into view until
fifteen minutes later. About fifty friends
sat down to the dinner with the partners
at the Manhattan Beach Hotel, and while
Mr. Dundy explained the. defeat MIR,
Thompson grinned and twirled his new
yachting cap. Among the guests was
the Hon, Joseph Washington Of Texas
whose friends have already elected him
Governor Of the State year hence,
Mr.. Thompson said last night that he was
ready to take up challenge from anything
that traverses the route.

PORTLAND ANTAGoNIsTIc.

The avatar of democracy and yellow
journalism Of Oregon, the Portland
Journal, assisted by few members of
the Portland chamber of commerce,
is opposed TO the continuance OF the
work Of the dredger Chinook on the
Columbia river bar. claiming that II
is an expensive luxury and productive
of no good results. II the Chinook
were employed in deepening the river
between Astoria and Portland, It would
receive the unanimous Endorsement Of
the Portland chamber OF commerce,
no matter what the cost. Portland has
no Just cause OF complaint at the ex-
pense OF the Chinook. when 1t is con-
siderei that thousands of dollars have
been wasted in vain endeavors to deep
en- the channel and remove the numer-
ous sand bars between Tongue point
and Portland with the result that there
is not as deep water in the river as
Portiand's antagonism to Astoria has
driven shipping away from the Colum-
bia river and built up the shipping on
the sound, until today nine-tentns Of
all the ships visiting the north Pa.
cific coast go to Seattle. AS evidence
of this fact ten years ago there were
100 foreign ships coming to the CO.
lumbia river for cargoes. This year
there has not been 20 and the number
is yearly decreasing. The fault Is not
that there is not sufficient water on
the bar, but because owing to the low
depth of water In the river between
Astoria and Portland, ships are de-
layed from one to two weeks, making
shipping from Portland the most ex-
pensive Of any port in the world. Con-
gress has appropriated thousands OF
dollars to deepen the channel to Port
land and instead Of deepening 1t, 1t is
more SHALLOW. Nothing Is said about
this reckless extravaganza Oh pupilc

in Portland, but If any improvements
are contemplated for Astoria, nowl
of opposition eminates from Portland.

weight with the department at Wash

Astoria, Feb. Z, 1905.
Editor Morning Astorian:
I noticed an article In your paper
OF the 4th inst headed, Musicians
Kicking" and want to say that be-
lieye the Astoria musicians are just a
little bit previous In their kicking. The
Native Daughters have not sent to
Portland for their music nor DO they
intend doing so. We have always pat,
ronized the home musicians and paid
them first class prices. II seems all
this trouble arose over the party given
by the young ladies here short time
ago when they sent to Portland for
the music, for the reason that they
could come To no agreement with the
musicians here, who seemed to be hav-
ing a little trouble Of their own about
that time, but ! believe that just two
days before the party they told the
ladies' that they would furnish them
with music, but It was too late then,
as they had made other arrangements.
The Native Daughters have. never
given a free benefit and the Astoria
musicians have never furnished them
with music at reduced rates. Last
year We paid them $40 for furnishing
the music for our ball.

Too Much Exercise.

A man may exercise himself into

recent years Of the Importance OF ex.

now and then a wag, like Senator
Evarts Of New York, who once said
that he owed his long life and good
health to the fact that he never took
any exercise. Many youth in taking
the exercise that pleases him discovers
that be has great skill at tennis or
baseball, bicycle racing or foot racing,
hurdle Jumping or handsprings, and
the temptation is strong to neglect
other matters for the development Of
the particular physical facility with
which he may be endowed. When be

WAGES OF SIN.

The death of C. T. Beckwith, presi-
dent Of the oberlin. Ohio, bank which
was wrecked by Mrs. Chadwick. was
caused by broken heart brought
about by the disgrace and the knowl-
edge that through his indiscretion
hundreds of poor people had lost tneir
savings through the Vaccinations of
an adventures and the cupidity of a
banker. Under ordinary circumstances
the death would be considered murder
but the corifributory negligence on the
part of Beckwith makes it justifiable
homicide. The depositors of the OBJ
erlin bank will not mourn for Beck
with as much as they viii for the
money entrusted to his care and keep
ing. The Beckwith case is an illustra-
zion showing the frailities of human
nature. 1t shows how susceptible some
men are to the wiies of capricious wo-
men whose hypnotic influence sways
them from the paths Of rectitude and
honesty.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Beck
with died of humiliation, wounded
pride and broken fortunes. He had
been indicted for violations Of the ma
tional banking laws and was probably
guilty of making unauthorized loans
of bank funds to Mrs. Chadwick. He
had been duped, however into the be-
lief that he was perfectly safe in loan
ing his own as well as the banks
money to this woman, and no doub'
confidently expected to reap large
benefits individually and for the bank
through his transactions with this al
venturess. He was an old man, ac'
counted keen and shrewd, avaricious
and mercenary. He was over-anxioui
to make inordinate and illegitimat'
profits and Mrs. Chadwick simply sold
him a gold brick. He was an easy
victim to the woman's wiles and wher
his exposure and disgrace came HI
longed to die. Death came to his re-
lief and the world will perhaps never
know the full story of Mrs. Chadwick
operations with him.
The desire to make inordinate profits
tempts many a man to do what HI
ought not The regulations for tn
management Of national banks are je
signed to guard the depositors an,
stockholders of such institution
against Just such results as followed
the unauthorized loans to Mrs. Chad
wick. 1t looked so easy TO Mr.. Beck
with to make big returns on the loan
to her and to secure the handling Of
large fund that he took his chances
The bait was too tempting to resist
Her securities we're a myth, her al
legged relations to Andrew Carnegi
was pure fiction, ana her document
were forged. Beckwith was only on
of many victims, but when he over
stepped the bounds Of prudence Of hi
bank and became a criminal in la
and morals. Mrs. Chaiwicks caret
was as villainous as 1t was spectacu
lar and the death Of Mr.. Beckwitn
one Of its fruits.

about 80 years old, is small as com
pared to that Of the world whose an
nual production is over 4,000,000.000
gallons Of wine.
Other products of the grape are rails
ins-an enormous industry In itself
brandy, vinegar, grape syrup, a very
superior article, and various pickles,
jellies and preserves.
The grape furnishes also important
by-products. Feed and fertilizer are
produced from the pomace, also acetic
acid. The seeds are separated from the
pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up, they are used as a
substitute for coffee. A high grade oil
similar to olive Oil is also produced
from the seeds, which, among other
thicgs, make superior soap. They also
yield tannin.
Mr.. Husn,ann estimates that If all the
wastes of the grape crop were utilized
extra returns would increase its value
fully 10 per cent, which, with our pres
ent grape production to the value of
about $15,000000, would mean an adj
ditional earning Of million and half,
and this with our viticultural industry
as yet In its infancy.

GASOLINE POWER ENGINES.
Constitutes Great Saving in Horse
and Man Power Have Come
Into General Use on Many
Prosperous Farms
and Homes
and Homes

inexpensive, reliable power on the
farm and around the home is becom-
ing more and more desirable these
days when unskilled labor Is SO high
and hard to procure. Gasoline engines,
which when started practically take
care Of themselves, are rapidly sup
planting steam engines and horse pow
er. the operation Of which requires con-
slant attention. The difference in the
cost Of operating and the advantage of
starting at a moments notice has adj
vanced the popularity Of gasoline en-
gines where comparatively small power
is required in contrast with other
power devices.
A few years ago we heard but little
about gasoline engines for use on the
farms, while to-day we find many Of
them on up-to-date farms and small
business plants. This growing inter-
est has been brought about largely
through the improvements that have
