Should Not Take offcase.

Some persons are inclined to
take offense ct receiving state
merit from newspaper, This
should not be the case, and would
not be if those who receive the
statements would take a business
like view of the matter. When a
merchant has a pumber of ac-
counts standing on his books it is
bat right aud proper for him to
mail statements to the persons
owing the accounts. If farmer
had number of persons over the
county owing him for produce
that be had sold than it would
bc right <aad proper for him to
mail statements to those who
owed him. Then, 1t lis just as
reasonable for newspaper to &C.
casionally mail statements to per-
sons in arrears for subscription.
A short time ago We mailed an
old and much esteemed subscri-
ber statement and be promptly
-rrmitted money order in pay
ment of tie amount due. And 60
much have We been impressed
with the admirable spirit and
tore of his letter that we publish
it, leaving off the address:

ago. saying: "Dop't stop my pa.

Pleased With .cook Cotton,

Mr.. James R. Cantelou exhihi-
ted a portion of a very fine stalk
of cotton on cur streets on Mon
day. 1t is known as the Cook cot.

ten acres last year and was we'll

are large and the majority of them
contain five locks. Cook cotton
withstands extremes of season

The section of the stalk that Mr.

eighteen bolls. He has a limited

WORK ON HONOLULU BOAT
is NEARLY COMPLETED

HONOLULU, May 2.--While the date
of the launching of the transpacific
cup racer Hawaii, designed by B. B.
Crowninshield of Boston, Mass, has
not been definitely decided on, the
event will occur in the near future.
Work on the yacht is practically COM
pleted, with the exception of the in
stallation of masts and spars.
Captain Alec Lyle will command the
Hawaii, with Captain S. J. Harris as
navigator. The crew will be an en-
tirely voluntary one, and applications
are coming in from all classes.
A cable recently received from Los
Angeles stated that two Los Angeles
entries for the race were guaranteed.
Besides there, word has been received
here by the Hawaii Yacht club that
John Kyle will enter his yawl-rigged
yacht, the Lady Maud, with Wilbur
Kyle as captain.
British Columbia has yet to be heard
from, but it is probable that the Maple
Leaf and at least one other Canadian
yacht, making a total of at least six
starters, will participate in the second
race for the yacht supremacy Of the
Pacific ocean.

HARNESS RACES AND
BALL GAME SPOILED
TWO MATINEES ARRANGED FOR
FUTURE
II Weather Conditions Are Right,
Angels VIII Today Play Last
Game Before Tour of
North

Rain interfered with many sporting
events scheduled yesterday for local
enthusiasts but the fans and lovers of
light harness racing were given more
cause to grieve than the rest of the
bunch. The Driving clubs matinee at
Agricultural park gave promise of close
| finishes and excellent time, and Secre-
| tary Stewards followers were all
astray in their plans for pleasant af-
ternoon when the clouds turned loose.
The club officials will not disappoint
the deVotees of the track sport alto
event will be held next Saturday, to be
followed at the next weekend by an
other similar matinee. This will bring
two meets in line, and considering the
class of the horses enrolled on the
Driving clubs roster, ought to provide
plenty of excitement for anybody
"a The fans who are wont to congregate
at the Chutes were forced to go with
out the pleasure of roofing for the An
gels. After the first few rain drops fell

kinds of schemes to spend the after
noon and failed to figure out batting
averages and base hits.

weeks. The Angels leave Monday on
their first away from home tour of the
season and will be in foreign territory
all the time.
With Portland fully in her stride, the
race for the pennant this year promises
to be closer than it has for a long time.
Mercedes men failed to do their best
at the opening of hostilities, and for
while it looked ar though the same old
bunch of crabs v ere representing the
Beavers. Since them conditions have
changed, and now the Oregonians are

the California trio. San Francisco Is
always good. and every once In whilt,

SAINTS WILL START WORK
FOR FOOTBALL SEASON

Now that the A. A. U. meet has
been called off and the Saints have
given up all hopes of participating in
any meet they have dropped track
work and will begin spring football
training next Monday. Fourteen of
last seasons varsity men are still in
school and will practice next Monday
There are many new students in school
who came too late to take part in foot
ball and their chances of making the
varsity next season will depend great-
ly on their performances in this prae-
tice.
Coach Hempel intends to give every
man a good tryout by playing each
man in several different positions.
This will save all the trouble of pick
ing out men at the beginning of the
regular season. The practice will be
light and the players viii wear track
suits with the regular football shoes.
Coach Hempel said that If all the
men would return as they have prom
ised he will turn out team that will
be able to defeat any of the big uni
versities of the middle states with
whom games are now being arranged.
