THE UNITED PRESS AND THE EVERIAG
 NEWSPAPERS

Harvey ScOtt OaS been Tor years One of the big voices in the councils of the Associated Press. He has thereby been able to control the fran chIse in the city of Portland to keep the franchise exclusiye-and thereby to hold rick and populous territory for the exploitation of the Orsgonian. When, wherefore, MT. Scott editorially pays tribute to an opposition news service, declares that news service to be superior to that Of the association which has been the means of building up bis fortune and prestige, the old as- sOciation must have come to a pretty poor pass.
 There have been several disastrous and expensive attempts 10 buck the Associated Press, in which Mr. Scott has fought vsliantly for the old organ fundamentally in the long engage ment with the Postal with Mr. Mack ey's millions back of it. The United Press is sn evening newspaper service and has made strong record in recent yesrs-recent months. It is an evening newspaper service-does not undertake the morning field Leaving aside therefore i,s distinctive scoops ln the general field of world news, the at tempt 1t has made and is making to give an effective afternoon service is a thing to be generally supported with enthusiasm. For the Associated Press, especially in the west, has neglected the afternoon field. The afternoon newspaper bas been steadily growing 10 favor for many years all over the country. Especially has this been true in the wes'. With from three to four hours she advantage iu the matter of time 1t should be the great purveyor of news. We'll served telegrsphically the evening paper on the Pacific coast should De able rO go to press a, four o'clock containing record of the en- tire days happenings up to six o'clock iu New York or Washington. This the United Press is enabling it to do. Where as the evening newspaper ic the past nas been made up largely of a rehash of the morning paper the reverse of that condition should and will obtain. The number of customers for It's services must, Of course, prove the factor in this condition. With the increase of population oa the coast offering field for their exploitation, 1t is certainly the destiny of the afternoon newspaper to become a great purveyOr of news, lay iug on the evening dlnner table that complete history of tho days doings tha, formerly was reserved for the hurried scanning at the breakfast table of lOs of headlines that serves for perusal Of the news. The United Press is the institution that promises Co become the agent of bringing about this desired consummaiion.

The residence Of Andy Shipley was
named as the voting place in RAIDER
township.
Herman Leutz and p. j. McGraw
appeared before the board relative to
changing boundaries of school districts
numbers 2 and 8. MI. RAIDER. superin-
tendent of schools, was called in to act
with the board. The petitions presented
to the board asked that sections IL. -,
"a, Is and So, township 139, range "a,
be cut out of district No. 3 and attached
to district No. 2. The board granted the
petition as asked for but also included
section 1, same township and, range.
The school board of district No. g pro-
tested against the action of the board as
they desired to retain section No. / in
district No. 3. After talking the matter
over with the superintendent and the
board of county commissioners and from
the further fact that the transfer of sec
tion / would make little difference in
the rate of taxation in school district No.
3, it was agreed that the action of the
board, including said section No. / in
the transfer, should stand as passed on
at the September 7th meeting, in 1908.
In the matter of estray taken up by
P. j. McGraw: the board on motion ap-
pointed Max Bloom and Herman Leutz

GRAND SPECTACLE
AT SEA NEAR RIO

to swing and twist them, now fast,
now slowly, about each ship. When
the rays struck the water say, about
300 yards away from a ship and each
light was turned slowly around the
vessel, it was as if so many spirits or
the sea were dancing about like chill
dren around May pole Then a beam
would go scampering away as ii it had
the concentrated velocity of a hundred
twelVe-inch shots. Then there would
come period of helterskelter playing
of the lights until a slow movement of
searching on the waters was in prog
ress. Each ship looked as if it were
a thousand legged spider, each leg
made up of ray of light, Sometimes
the lights of a ship would be inter.
laced; again they would be centered on
some spot far out in the water.
The rolling Crests of the swells
would be whitened with the CLEAN Sof
thousands of diamonds, The reflection
of the light beams made bands of puT-
pie and deep green upon the water.
The stars lost their brightness. 1t was
as if the Yankee ships had reached out
and stolen a good share of the strength
of the sun-which actually was the
case from the standpoint of science
had stored it in their holds and then
had sprung it at night, just to show
what could be done in the way of rob-
bling the powers of darkness Of their
evil aspect. For half an hour the
thrilling exhibition continued, and just
as you were preparing to throw up
your hat and give three cheers for
Uncle Sam and his Navy an officer
brought you back TO your feet with the
quiet remark:
why, that isn't a patch compared
with the real thing! This was just as
much to be compared with the real
thing as the tuning of a piano is to be
compared with a Paderewski perform
ance"
You thought him a little strong in
his analogy until of a sudden all the
lights went out, and there were six
teen battleships quietly sailing along
a sea as smooth as Long Island sound
in the summer time, with only regula-
ton lights showing, distances kept
perfectly and nothing to indicate that
there had been anything out of the
ordinary in a sedate and peaceful pas
sage from one port to another, In
deed there had been nothing unusual
to a naval man, but it isn't every land
lubber-no, experienced sailor, now
that the writer Of this has been mi
tiated into Neptunes domain who
