CONTENDERS FOR THE CUP
 HAVE THEIR TRY-OUTS

Gosport, England, June 6.-The new cup challenger, Shamrock w. was raced yester- day against the Shamrock III, and with her spread of 10000 feet of canvas the new boat showed her heels to the old boat and walked away from the Shamrock III. Un- der orders from Sir Thomas Lipton, the slippers were changed, with the same re suit, the new craft again outsaihng the cid racer.
 The hopes of the people of England that at last the Americans will be relieved of the cup are soaring skyward, and it IS ex- pected that millions of dollars will be bet on the output of the race.
 The cost of the new boat is said to be close to s30O,O0O, while at least S20OO O00 more will be spent by the owner in mak ing the race, taking the boat across the ocean, wages to the crew and incldentals

OWNERSHIP OF SPUR TRACK
WILL HAVE TO Be SETTLED
CITY COUNCIL WANTS QUESTION
ANSWERED. - IMPROVE
MENT Is DEMANDED

Who owns the railroad track which
serves as spur to the Pendleton
FIGURING Mills? That question has
been a much mooted one for years,
but Just now the city wants the ques-
ton answered. In the past the o.-W,
Il. & y. Co. and n. p. Co. have
laid some claim TO Il. while the own
ers of the milling property have con-
tended that 1t belonged To them. At
the present time. however. none OF
the disputants are urging their claims
for the reason that the city is de-
manding that the owner put In a
hard surface Improvement between
the tracks where they intersect East
Alta street
The original franchise for the
track was secured by w. S. Byers and
his associates in the milling venture.
Mr.. Byers afterwards purchased his
partners share In the property and
always claimed the track as his pri-
vate property. The railroad compan-
les contend they replaced the origl-
nal rails and have always maintain
ed the track. Mrs. T. w McComas,
who succeeded her father as mana
ger Of the mills. continued his claims
and when the property was sold to
l.. c. Lens, the deed OF conveyance
included the tracks.
When East Court street was paw
ed, the city called upon the milling
company to improve between the
tracks which extend across the street
between the mill and the Byers resi-
dence. The company passed the re-
possibility on to the o.-w. r. & N
which replied by stating that as fai
as 1t was concerned, that part OF the
track could be taken up. Thereupon
the milling company paid for the i'm
| proyement.
/ The same question is raised again
The council doesn't know just where
the ownership rests and doesn't car'
much but does insist that the cross
! ing be improved.

MOUNTAIN WATER SUPPLY.
(conunued from Page ~

gratifying absence Of the usual bowel
trouble among children. DIR. Temple
says that while he has noticed no
change in cases OF intestinal trouble
he believes the cause may be traced
as much to fruit as to water.
At the Eastern oregon State Hos
pital there has been an excellent
chance to determine the benefits of the
new water system and DR.. McNary.
superintendent, is frank in praising
the new supply.
I'VE think enough of the new wa.
ter supply that We no longer boil the
water whereas formerly all water con-
sumed at the institution was boiled.
We also have noticed reduction In
the cases OF intestinal disorders. The
water is vastly better than the old sup
ply, but OF course we cannot expect
the very best results yet. With the
new system Just placed in use 1t Is in.
evitable there would for a time still
be some vegetable matter in the sup
ply. But the new supply Is a great
Improvement over the old and is q
source OF great satisfaction"

THIEVES, BREAKING INTO
CELLARS, STEAL FRUITS
CANNED DAINTIES DISAPPEAI,
FROM NORTH SIDE HOMES
AFTER DARK,

Cellar robbers are again at their
work in the city and a number of
residents OF the north side are be-
moaning the loss OF canned fruits and
other table delicacies. At least two
cellars have been entered and robbed
this week.
One Jackson street resident went
down in his cellar yesterday morning
to discover that large quantity OF
the fruit which his wife had so la
boriously canned had been stolen and
he also ascertained that the robber
had carried away more than half Of
the contents Of barrel OF bottled
beer which he had to tide him over
the hot season.
For the past six years residents OF
the North Side have each summer
suffered from the depredations OF
these night marauders. Two years
ago the same resident who lost the
beer Wednesday night lost almost HIS
entire supply OF canned fruit besides
several sacks OF potatoes aud other
provisions.
