JAMESTOWN YACHT RACING
Kaiser and Upton Take Interest in
Contests
RACE IN WATERS Of HAMPTON ROADS
HISTORIC COURSE WHERE BIG
TRIALS OF SPEED WILL BE
HELD.
RACE IN WATERS OF HAMPTON ROADS

est of Emperor William and Sir Thorn.
as Upton in the yacht racing to be
held at the Jamestown exposition ir
Virginia, U. S. A., in 1897, in addition
! to the enthusiasm of the Americans
| themselves will go far toward making
those races an event long to be re-
membered in the annals of yachting
The exposition is to be neld be-
side the historic waters of Hampton
comparable only with the roads at
Portsmouth. the Firth Of Clyde, the
Riviera, Kiel Of the Sea of Marmosa.
There is at this spot plenty Of breeze
for the best yachting results, yet the
wind rarely, if ever, reaches the mag
nitude of a storm beneath the sunny
skies and langourous zepnyrs of the
region.
The spot is pregnant with historic
significance. Since the birth of the
American republic this neighborhood
has been the center of the nations
life, around which have revolved all
it's struggles toward freedom and ad-
vancement in learning and power to
the splendid position it occupies today.
Not far away is the birthplace of
George Washington, greatest Of all
Americans, and a little farther away
is the home in which ne died, which
is the shrine of all Americans, and
those other nationalities who admire
high thoughts and noble living. 1t is
to celebrate the national beginnings
of the United States at jamestown
in 1907 that the exposition has been
planned. Every stage of the nations
growth will be recalled at this great
celegration.
The Americans have arranged, at a
meeting held in New York in July,
that the races shall be sailed accord
ing to the rules adopted at the Allan
tic coast conference in January 1906
Canada and the United States have
been divided into eleven districts for
the purposes of the regatta and a
| committee composed of one represen-
tative from each Of them, known as
the Regatta Committee" will have
entire charge of the races to be held
next year.

Medicine Did no Good-Cured at
Expense Of only SLIPS and Now
THANKS CUTICURA
FOR COMPLETE CURE

Some time ago I wrote you for 9
book on the Cuticura Remedies and
received it O.. X. and went and bought
the Soap, Ointment, and Pills. They did
me more good than any medicine | ever
used. They cured me ofmy skin disease,
and I am very thankful to you. My
trouble was eruption of the skin, which
broke out in spots all over my body,
and caused continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. l got
medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure
me, and when saw in a paper your
adj, | sent to you for the Cuticura book
and l studied my case in it. l then
went to the drug store and bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Gu
ticura Ointment, and one vial of Cuti-
cura Pills. From the first application
received relief. l used the first set
and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap,
and was completely cured. l had
suffered for two years, and l again
thank Cuticura for my cure. If you
wish, you may publish this. Your
friend forever, Claude n. johnson, Maple

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IS It
Subject for Debate is Selected bq
Council
WH|TMAN-PACIFlC DATE IS DECEMBER "A
IT is NOT YET DECIDED
WHETHER GOODS WILL EN-
TER THE CONTEST.

The ownership of street railways
by cities will be the subject for dis
cussion between Pacific university
and Whitman college this year. This
was decided at the meeting of the
Whitman debate council last night
December IA, was also selected as the
date of the tryout, when the team
which will debate Pacific and william
cite will be selected.
Members of any Of the four liter
airy societies of the institution will be
allowed to take part in this contest.
1t has not yet been decided by the
girls societies, the Libethrean and
Philolithian, whether they will enter
contestants or not.
The Athenaeum last night decided
to hold their tryout for the Athenae-
-Libethrean team November %.
This society has not lost a debate to
its rivals for the past four years and
will make strenuous efforts to live
up to its reputation this year.
The Chinese coolie question was
threshed out by the society last night
and it was decided that the govern
ment ought not to employ this form OF
labor in the construction of the Pana-
ma canal.
Pacific university wants to hold the
contest in Forest Grove this year in
stead Of in Walla Walla, but it is
doubtful if the Whitman debates will
consent to the change as they have
two other debates away from nome
this year.

HENRY BAss|, NoBLEMAN, DEAD
After Repeated Attempts at Suicide
During Past Eight Years, Is
Successful.

APPLETON, Wis. Nov. 9.-After
ten years in which he repeatedly at
tempted to kill himself, having made a
declaration he would die by his own
hand. Henry Basse, Who had resided
in this city for eight years, at last
accomplished his purpose.
Although he mad two daughters in
Berlin, Germany, that are rated at
$1,0O0,0O0 in American money, pride
kept the man from appealing to mis-
relatives. with whom he quarreled be-
fore coming to this country, and he
died a pauper at the Milwaukee county
hospital.
Basse was a victim of drink. He
served honorably in the German army
and was Of the nobility. He married a
woman of wealth, VINO died in four
years worrying over his vice, after
presenting him with two daughters.
In her will she left a large estate to
her daughters, knowing the renegade
propensities of her husband, and be-
lieving that wealth in his hands would
only aggravate the vice.
For time ne lived with a sister,
in-law, who consented to rear his
daughters. But the melancholy fol-
lowing the death of his wife drove him
to deeper degradation, and his rela-
tives finally censured him severely.
Then his pride spoke and he came to
America to either live his vice down
or die by it without bringing dis
grace on mis- relatives.
Sick almost unto death, Basse was
at last taken to the Outagamie county
poorhouse, where he told his story. but
was nursed back to health.
But his master vice would not down,
Then an unfortunate love affair drove
him to attempt suicide by drowning
He was saved, but three times more
he strove to take his own life.
He committed suicide at wauwatosa
just outside of Milwaukee.

SALOON MEN CAUGHT.
Deputy Internal Revenue CoIIeeto
Gets Kremer and Mottet.

George Mottet and John Kremer
were obliged to pay Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector j. NJ Douglas $3.50
and $500 respectively yesterday, as a
special tax for selling liquors to the
cribs in Rose alley. Some 35 Of these
establishments are connected by cleo
trio bell with these saloons and Ii
quors are delivered by the bartenders
upon call and collected for on the
spot.
According to a recent ruling of the
revenue officials this establishes a
place of business in each place where
liquor is so delivered.
A tax of $25 is levied in such cases
and a fine of half the amount when
the law is violated in addition. These
fines and taxes aggregated over $1,000
for the two saloon men which were
promptly paid.

association have reached a crisis in
their affairs, the outcome of which is
problematic unless prompt action is
taken to give the enterprises the
support needed to keep them going
until such time as the portage road
becomes selfsustaining," said DR.
Blalock this morning.
1.-The o. r. & N. has hampered the
operation of the portage railway in
every conceivable way. This is of
course only natural. AS an instance,
the Open River association had con-
tracted to purchase the steamer Noun
tain Gem. the deal was as fairly
and squarely made as anything could
some means, stepped in and bought
the steamer.
There is no doubt that the rail-
road paid a much greater price for
the boat than the Open River asso-
citation had contracted for. It simply
shows the way the railroads are fight
ing the association.
Shippers Persuaded"
"Another instance came to light in
Sherman county, Oregon, few
weeks ago. The Open River associa-
ton had contracted to transport 49,
900 bushels of grain, but when it came

agent was informed by the shippers
that they had decided it was inadvis-
able to ship the grain by river. The
grain was carried by the o. r. & n.
1.-The railroad company keeps a paid
force Of men to watch every shipper
patronizing the associations steamers
When the shippers are ascertained
powerful influences are then brought
to bear on them to divert their ship
ments to the railroad.
Notwithstanding all these annoy
ances and distractions thrown in the
way of the association, the river line
has practically all the freight it can
handle for the next two months, but
additional steamers are needed to put
the association on a firm financial
footing.
More Steamers Coming.
"Over 100000 has been subscribed
toward two new steamers the associa-
ton is to build at Portland. When
these are in commission the associa-
ton will be in much better shape to
handle the river traffic. In the mean
time, however, it is necessary to aid
the association to tide over the pres
ent crisis which has arisen.
1T is necessary to extend the port
age railway to The Dalles. but to
carry out this project, it is absolute
ly necessary that the Oregon legis-
lature make an appropriation.
Whether the legislature will be IA
vorable to the plan remains to be
seen.

Enterprise at Stake.
"Tne meeting will practically de-
eide whether the portage railway is
to be abandoned and all the Open
River associations work go for
naught or whether the people of Or
egon and Washington will come to
the aid of the portage road and keep
it going until such time as it can be-
come selfsustaining.
while probably the shippers of
Walla Walla are feeling no direct
benefits in the way of cheaper rates
through the operation of the port
age railway at the present time,
owing to no connecting line between
Walla Walla and the Columbia, the
building of the proposed electric line
between Dayton and Wallula de-
ponds very largely upon the portage
