back, Harvard Immediately order
ed from Sims, the noted builder
of boats for the English univer-
stiles, a shall similar to that used
by Cambridge.
Harvard used this boat when
they defeated Yale. The latter uni
versity, not to be outdone, straight
way ordered a boat from the same
maker, in order to get even at the
next meeting. A few days after
wards Yale ordered second boat.
The first one is built to carry a
crew averaging 172 pounds, the
other for a 170-pound crew.
The larger boat, which is prac-
tically finished, is 63 feet long, 23h
inches beam, 91a inches amidships.
1t is rugged with side seats, similar
to the Cambridge boats. An extra
set of riggers is being sent out in
order that Yale can alter the boat
to a center-seated one if pre-
ferred.
The second boat, for the lighter
crew, is of the same length, but
slightly smaller in other respects.
This one, now on the stocks, is
shown in the picture.
Yale is also having a set of ~
oars made by Edmund Norris Of
Putney, London. They are of the
new tubular style, and exactly like
those used by the Leander crew
which won the Fights In the Olym-
pic games at Henley. They are IL
feet 8 inches long and 6 inches
across the blade. with the button
feet S1a inches from the end.
Harvard will also have a new
boat built by Sims for the next
race. 1t is to be started as soon as
the Yale boat is finished

GUTHRIE, Okla, Oct. 1.-Okla-
| homa's governor has the corpora
tons of his state eating from his
hand. Railroads, Standard Oil--it
makes no difference which-they
are all as tame as little woolly
dogs. They will follow on a string,
sit up and beg, or, if they hear a
whistle or voice like that of G. n.
Haskell they will come to him from
any distance.
So to speak.
| In Oklahoma the power to deal
with corporations is vested in the
governor. A little vigor in it's use
does wonders.
1T isn't necessary to run to court
every time corporation fails to do
| it's duty" the governor explained to
your correspondent. Now take the
case. of our local branch of the
Standard Oil. Their representative
whom | know quite well, came into
my office and showed me a state
ment he had drawn up as basis
for taxation. He was preparing to
turn in a valuation of their prop
erty at about $3,000,000. just said
to him: This won't do. Everybody
knows the price of oil, everybody
knows how much oil, how many
tanks, how much pipe and so forth
you have. You people have got a
poor reputation, anyway. Now, you
will only get yourself into trouble if
you put in statement like that.
well, my friend saw the point
and came back in few days with
a statement showing their property
valued at 81 100000.
Now, that shows the advantage
of dealing directly with the corpora
ton. We might have started a law
suit and dragged it out for months.
This was better way.
Il tell you," continued Governor
Haskell, there amt state in the
union that uses it's powers like we
do for the ordinary comfort of the
common citizen. Now, here is %3iti
tie incident that will illustrates A
few months ago l got a telegram at
o'clock at night, which read some-
thing like this: This is to notify
you that 500 people are at Waudika
without any adequate accommoda-
ton for food and shelter. We are
several train loads of Rock Island
passengers delayed here by the
washing out of the bridge. What
we want to Fnow, is whether Okla
homa has any law that will compel
the railroad to take us back to
points where we can get proper
food and lodging That's about
what the telegram said. Well, |
