varsity fooled me. I did not know they had
such a good crew. The New Workers Ger
tainly did fine work In the last mile.
Our varsity crew went over the course a
week & In 1906. which satisfied me they
were fast enough to win. The time trials
Of the other crews also showed that they
were fast. I expected the ~four-oared race
would be rowed in $50, and It would have
been II the motor boats had been prevented
from churning up the water. It was very
rough for the first two races. The four
and freshmen each had three inches of
water In their bows when they reached the
boat house. I am proud Of our boys, and
they certainly did great work for the uni
versity."

their task. Slowly but steadily they crept
Up on Syracuse.
Cornell, letting out a notch at the two
and a half miles flag, had a lead Of an
open length over Syracuse, which was but
a seant half length ahead OF Columbia.
Wisconsin wal rowing well, a length be-
bird Columbia, and two lengths ahead of
Pennsylvania.
The real thrill Of the race came as the
crews approached the bridge. which marks
three miles. All the crews we're rowing
steadily and strongly, and for a mile not
a foot was gained or lost by any Of them.
Suddenly Columbia's men increased their
stroke and their shell shot through the
water like a torpedo boat. Cornell was
five stroke and increased their lead OF a
length to a length and a half over SYRIA
cuse.
But Columbia was not to be denied and
slowly overlook Syracuse, getting the bow
of its shell in second place Just as the
three-mile mark was crossed. Syracuse
seemed to founder for n moment, but
quickly settled down and tried desperately
to regain second place. 1t was no use,
however, and the race began to look like
an exciting finish between Cornell and Co
lumbia. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania mean
while were clearly out of It.
Columbia CrOwd Hopeful.
Columbia wins, Columbia wins" was the
shout raised by the enthusiastic Columbians
Omaha daily bee., 1909-07-03

and the train became a fluttering thing of
blue and white.
Not yet" came the confident shout Of
Cornell's men. From the three-miIe mark
to the finish in a four-mile race proved a
long stretch for a tired crew, and Co.
lumbia's efforts for three miles suddenly
began to tell. Columbia having crep up
so 1t might touch bow to stern with the
Cornell shell, the Ithacans again ran their
stroke up to thirty-five.
For half a mile Columbia held on
doggedly. with Syracuse in third place and
wisconsin and Pennsylvania in the rear.
Then the final squirt began. without per-
ceptible extra effort Cornell pulled away
until a bare streak of open water showed
ahead of Columbia. Syracuse came along
two and a half lengths behind, the same
distance separating her from Wisconsin.
Pennsylvania was last by a length. In this
order they swept on to the finish, Just as
the sun disappeared behind the highlands,
leaving the shells silhoueted against the
leaden water. And in this order they fin
ished, to the roar of 10000 throats, and the
shrieks Of 1000 whistles. Cornell had all
the honors and tonight Cornell owns the
streets of Po~ughkeepsie.

San Jose Scale Bill.

The San Jose scale bill has been
passed by the house. A good many
members Of the house opposed so
large an appropriation on the ground
that the owners of orchards should
have enough interest in the work to
go ahead and clean out the scale. The
state will do the work and the cost
will be attached to the orchard own
ers, and this will be sort Of revolv-
ing fund to be used over and over
The bill will be sent to the sanGte and
it is expected to pass before the end
of the week, so that work of EXTERN
mating the scale in the infected coun-
ties can begin at once.
Wyandotte, Sedgwick, Reno, Ford
and Pratt counties are the worst in
fected counties in the state. By doing
this work at once it is believed that
the diseases can be eradicated with
out much trouble, while, If left a few
years, it might require a million dol
lars to extotminate the parasis, in ad-
diton to the great loss sustained by
the growers in cutting down the trees
and by damages to young trees.

ton to regulation taxes provided by

TO summon officers of express COM
panies to come before 1t and bring
their company books and papers, and
TO file statement of their earnings,
capital invested and business. A pen
atty of $500 is provided for failure to
