YACHT RACE
FOR SUNDAY

Ever since Regatta Day the question
as to which is the faster of the two
third-class yachts Myrtle and Maggie
has been often discussed amongst the
local yachtsmen. Each Of their owners
claims that his boat can outfoot the
other one and the matter Is to be put
to a test in a series of races the firts Of
which is to be sailed on Sunday next.
The cup will be awarded to the winner
of two out of three races.
1t will be rendered that shortly af-
ter the start of the race for third-class
yachts held last Regatta Day, that the
Myrtle had the misfortune to be
swamped off the mouth of Honolulu
Harbor owing to the heavy seas which
were then running.
Geo. H. Crozier. the owner of the
Myrtle, and Alex Lyle, the proud pos
SCISSOR Of the Maggie, have each put up
a stake with which to purchase a cup
to become the property of the winning
beat.
The races will be sailed under the
Yacht Club and the start will be made
on Sunday morning at II o'clock from
the Healani boat house, the course be-
ing similar to that which was sailed on
Regatta Day.
A preliminary gun will be fired five
minutes before the start from the flag
ship Spray, and at the firing of the
second gun the contestants will cross
the line.
Great interest Is being taken by
those interested in yachting in the
forthcoming race and the yachts Ha-
wall and Spray will follow the contest
ants over the course with a crowd of
spectators aboard.

GOOD TIME FOR OLD SOLDIERS
G. A. r. Entertains Veterans Attend
ing the L. B. Conference.

The camp fire reception given to the
Grand Army members of the u. B.
conference now in session in this city,
at the auditorium of the High school
last night, was a success, although not
largely attended. The meeting was
called to order by Rev. D. W. Sprinkle
of Acron Ohio, who after a few ap-
propriate words, introduced Colonel
James Carl who gave the invocation,
after which the meeting was turned
over to Department Commander
Charles Harris, who presided and
made a few appropriate remarks, and
then introduced Jacob /. Grimm of
PENNSYLVANIA former national chap
public, who served in the army from
Maryland. and the brevity and wit of
his remarks were highly appreciated.
He was followed by Rev. J. A. F.
King of Michigan, who showed how
religion and true ,comradeship of a
good soldier dove-tailed together.
Then Rev. Mr.. Siffert of Pennsylvania
was called upon, and responded with q
short pleasing talk, after which Rev
J. il. Snyder Of LecOmptOn, Kan, SCI
rotary of the conference, was called
upon and gave a splendid talk. Rev.
J. r. Chambers of carleton, Kan.
was then called upon, and made an
interesting camp fire speech. Rev. D.
W. Sprinkle was then called out by
Colonel W. ". Smith, and gave one of
the most touching, interesting and eff
fective camp fire addresses that has
been listened to here for some time.
He closed by saying that the confer
ence members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, in whose honor this re-
ception and camp fire was given, de-
sired to hear from Kansas. There
upon Department Commander Harris
called upon Captain P. H. Coney, who
gave his usual stirring camp fire
greeting to the visiting comrades of
the Z. p. conference, and exemplified
Kansas and the part she had played in
being the cause of the election of the
immortal Lincoln, that brought on the
war of the rebellion, that she was
first in the throes, and after the re-
beIlion, became settled by the defend
ers and saviors of the nation to the
extent that at one time s,11O of the
male population of Kansas were ex-
Union soldiers, and in 1880, 1875, 900
ex-Union soldiers resided in Kansas.
He gave a hearty welcome to the
comrades present after which the
campfire closed with a song and bene-
diction.
Colonel D. F. Wyatt had a large
collection of button hole bouquet
roses, which he distributed freely to
the audience.

GARFIELD's REPORT.
It Is Expected to Be Ready by Time
Congress Meets.

Washington, May 19.-Commission-
er Garheld's report on the oil industry
will he made public by the time con
gress convenes. It is believed that the
part of the report dealing with the
conditions in the southwestern terri
tory will give new impetus to the sub
ject of railroad rates.
Those who have talked with the
commissioner and are familiar with
the methods pursued by the depart
ment are of the opinion that the re-
port Will place special emphasis on
tie ne cessity of providing fair trans
pcrtatiOn rates and an open market
for oil producers and the fact de-
velOped in Kansas will show this
necessity more clearly than could be
presented from any other field.
The department of commerce and
labor now has three special agents in
the Kansas field and will send others
before the final report is made. Rep
resentative Campbell of the Third
Kansas district called at the White
House and had a short interview with
the president. Mr.. Campbell said 7
million dollars had been raised to
build pipe lines to tide water and he
had no doubt the project would be
completed

meeting it was decided to oil one mile
county highways. The experiment will
be on a stretch Of road between Garden
City and the Arkansas river and if the
piece of road is improved the other roads
in the neighborhood will be oiled.
THE plan is absolutely new in west
ern Kansas said A. H. Burtis, a gov
eminent land inspector of Garden City,
in discussing the proposed experiment
today, and if it succeeds the business
of road making in our part of the coun-
try viii be entirely changed. We have
very bad roads out there because the
sand is so loose that it shifts constant
~. The roads are heavy in dry weather
because the sand is so deep and it is so
fine that it is very annoying to travel
ers. If we succeed in this experiment
we will have the best roads in the
state"
The price of crude oil in the Kansas
oil field is as low as twenty cents a bar
to the sandy counties in the western
part of the state would cost only about
thirty-fve cents a barrel delivered at
any station With oil at this price the
counties could build roads at a very
small cost
