discriminated uifainst on aeeoi:nt of

I*resilient Roosevelt has instructed

navy yards no man was refuse'I ein

ber of a iaOor organization.
Toe pi evident having committed the
administration to principles stated,
and to the further finding of the strike
couuaisMou, "that there shall be no
<liacrimination against, or interference
witii, any employe who is not a inein-

bers of such organization," it would
he the duty • f the government to pro-
tect tho workmen in their rights.
Hie president recognizee that the
abur organizations may maUu serious
, opposUion to tho application of this
principle to all government work, yet
he is determined to see that it is en
• forced.
| day that the Reliance could talco the
measure of the challenger in any kind
of weather, regard this test as conclu-
sive, although they hardly anticipated
so over Whelming a victory.
It must be conceded, however, that
Shamrock showed herself a wonderful
boat in beating to windward, fierhap*
the ablest craft in this respect over
aent across the Western occan on acup-
hunting expedition. For twelve miles
the great single-stickers raced like a
team 9f horses, anil during that por-
tion of tlie duel the patriots made no
attempt lo conceal their nervousness.

monium can only be heard when an
American yacht is victorious in a cup
race.
Then the immense concourse of ves-
sel* waited until the Shamrock, majes-
tic even in defeat, swept by between
the stalcc-beat^ Tho reception she
received was, if anything more hearty
than that accorded to her successful
rival.
Such tribute Americans gladly pay
to the true Itritish sportsman who Hum
so valiantly tried to win hack the
trophy which the old schooner America
captured from a fl« et of English yachts
fifty-two years ago.

Chicago at an avcrag* speed of 4S.S
milea per hour, arriving In Chlraso
on Wednesday forenoon. Hurrying
from the l.akc Shore to the Santa Fe
depot in a cab which was being held
in waiting for Inn., tho anxious fatbor
boarded the special and was outward
bound twenty-three minutes aft or
reaching the "Windy City." Compos-
ed of coach and hotel-car "Rocket"

stops except those to take water aud

Leaving Dearborn station, Chi
cago, the train htniek out toward
tho Southwest, with a whirl and a
rush. Swiftly rising to the level of
the elevatod roadbed, It was off on its
way toward Jollet before the grief-
stricken passenger had had tlmii to
settle down for his long ride Indeed,
It cannot be said that he settled down
at all. for. In his anxiety to cover the
ground In the shortest possible time,
Mr. I>owe repeatedly urged vhat the
speed be increased, and for a great
share of the distance he rode in the
engine cab. the rumble and roar of the
mlfhty locomotive soothing. In a
measure, his troubled mind.
Faster and faster the giant ten-
wheeler flew. Faster and faster the
local way stations whizzed by the
windows In an Indistinct blurr Cross-
ing the State of Illinois in a space of
time heretofore uneqtialed, the special
rolled across (he Mississippi at Fort
Madison, clipped off a section of Iowa,
traversed the northern part of the
State of Missouri, bridged the broad
Missouri river and steamed Into Kan-
sas City t'nion depot.

rie land of Kansas and on toward

ed On and on It sped, not only main-
taining the schedule laid out, but

range and entered the Golden Stats

At 1:06 p m. on Friday, August 7.
the train rolled Into I.os Angeles ten
hours ahoad of the schedule as origi-
nally planned, the distance from Chi-
cago to the Pacific coast (2.265 mile*)
having been covered at an avrage of
42.8 miles per hour, beating the time
of the Santa Fe's California United
by fifteen hours and sixteen minutes.
While he was still this side of the
Rocky mountains it was known that
Mr l>owe's danghter had passed away.
Messages were hurried ahead of the
special As the wires were down, the
sad word wae not received hy Mr.
liowc until he had reached l.as Vegas,
New Mexico.
In spite of his disappointment, how-
ever. Mr. Ivowe expressed bis grati-
tude to the Santa Fe officials who had
tried to the utmost to assist him in
his trouble.
"The time made by the Lowe special
Is an achievement of which we are
Justly proud," said Passenger Traffic
Manager Nicholson of the Santa Fe.
"Our only regret. Is that the extra-
ordinary speed could not avail Mr.
Lowe as he hoped It might."
This crossing of the American con-
tinent in seventy three hours and
twenty-one minutes establishes a rec-
ord for the trans-continental trip that
will not be surpassed for many days
to come. When It Is considered that
tne time was brought down to this
remarkably low figure only by extra-
ordlnar) speed on the level prairies
anil the broad tablelands, some Idea
of the tremendous strain may b*
gathered. For long distances a speed
of considerably ov«r a mile a minute
was maintained. The route from the
Mississippi to the Continental Divide
Is up grade, with much steep moun-
tain climbing In places.
In 1VOO a remarkable run was made
hy the Peacock special from West to
East, its average speed being 41.7
miles an hour between Los Aageles
and Chicago. This train, however,
had the advantage of tho down grade
from the Rockies b> tho Mississippi
valley.
The famous Nellie Bly special made
the trip from San Francisco to Chi-
cago In sixty-nine hours at an average
speed of 37 1-3 miles an hour
Hy a comparison of these schedules
n fair idea may be gathered of the
remarkable record of the Iowe spe-
cial. This achievement will go down

Topeka, Aug. 24.—The state board
of railroad commissioners lias set the

August 26. The various railroads have
all auswered to complaint. Their de-
fenso is that the cattle rate question is
interstate in its character and that the
Kansas board lias no jurisdiction. They
nlao claim the new rates to go into

that they do not ainouut to an increase
in general, but are really an equaliza-
tion of present rates. The cattlemen
claim the new sohedule raises present
rates from 15 to "JO per cent.

ONE OF TNE LAfttiEST IRRIGATING CANALS
IN TNE WORLD.
A Project at the State of Idaho.
On tke weet side of the Snake river
in Idaho, between Black foot sod Ameri-
oan Vails, there is bsieg constructed by
the American Kails Canal St Power com-
paay, under a contract with the state of
Idake, aa irrigating canal 85 feet wide,
and 80 miles long. When finished, this
canal will be one of the largest and
most perfect Irrigating systems In the
world. By Its means a valley of 100,000
acres of the most fertile and productive
fruit aad farm land in America will bo
reclaimed
The climate of this valley is ideal.
Cycloaee, hot winds, floods or deetrnc-
tlve storms have never been known.
Grain, grase, vegetables and all varie-
ties of fruit grow in abundance. A
healthful climate, a sure crop, a heavy
yield, high prices and a ready market,
are features of this country.
Ten thousand aeres of this rich land
are now ready for irrigation and settle-
ment. Purchase tickets to Blackfuot

Strange to say, two persons who
could aet swim were drowned last

Usually the victims of surf bathing
are tke venturesome, because able
swimmers if you do not wish your
childrea te drown do not teach them
to swim.
