VICTORY FOR SHAH Bloody Fight Around Pariiment Building All Day BUILDING IS tiOW IN RUINS Cotsacke Demand the Surrender of Prisoners and When They Are Refuted Open Fire on Troopers Killing Many. TEHERAN, June 23. -After a bloody fight waged around the par liament building all day, the city is comparatively ciuiet tonight although the Cossacks camped in the streets and squares. The Cossacks early to day surrounded the parliament build and and demanded the surrender of several persons whose arrest the Shah had demanded. Parliament re fused and shots were fired at the troopers several being killed. Or ders were issued to bombard the par liament building, this morning about 10 o'clock. While this was in progress bombs were thrown from the parlia ment building and Mosque, disabling one of the guns and wounding one gunner. Eventually the parliament building was cleared but not until many were killed and wounded. The troops also attacked the political clubs and residences of the members of parliament. The number of cas ualties is not known but is very large. The parliament building is nracticallv in ruins.. A large number of the leading nationalists, including priests and members of the pariia' tWnt have been olaced under arrest LONDON, June 23. A dispatch to the Mail from Teheran says the re- snonsibilitv for the firina lies with parliament which took advantage of the momentary weakness of the Shah.

SURVEY SHOVS BAR IS PRACTICALLY GONE Is 3000 Feet Wide and Measurements Show Depth of Twenty-Six Feet JETTY HAS SCOURED Colonel Roessler Returns to Portland and Is Greatty Elated Over Results of the Annual Survey, Which Shows Extraordinary Improvement In Width and Depth BLUE PRINTS OF NEW SURVEY OUT PROBABLY TODAY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS AXL THE NUMEROUS SHOALS HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY LEAVING AN UNOBSTRUCT ED CHANNEL WITH A CLEAN SWEEP TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN. The annual survey of the bar at the mouth of the Columbia river hat just been completed, and the report of the matter made public by Col. S. W. Roessler yesterday shows that the Columbia bar is practically a thing of the past. The improvement during the past year It extraordinary. The survey thowt that the channel has washed out to a width of 3000 feet in the past 12 months, and at nearly at can be now estimated before an accu rate compilation of the data is made, the depth at dead low water is 26 feet. This means that the channel is 10 times at wide at the survey of last year showed it to be, and one foot greater in depth. These facts show that the bar is virtually eliminated as an impediment to navigation. Colonel Roessler returned to Port land from Fort Stevens last evening and he is much elated over the result of the survey; While he docs not care to discuss the matter until the blue prints have been prepared, he agreed to give approximate figures concern ing the width and depth of that "hogback" at the mouth of the river, which has always been more or less of an obstruction to deep water navi-; gation at certain seasons of the year. Blue prints were prepared last night and will probably be ready for distribution today. The information contained therein will be ample to convince the most skeptical that the completion of the jetty, will be the means of scouring out the sediment in the channel to a much greater depth, and it will be completed be fore the expiration of another year. During the annual survey of last year the best channel that could be found was near the south side, which is generally referred to as the south channel. It was 25 feet deep and only 300 feet wide, of barely suffic ient width to accommodate the easy passage of a ship. At that time there were four distinct channels through which an- ordinary craft could thread her way, each being of no less than 241 feet at low tide. But they were narrow and on each side of them were great dep'osits of sand, which CAPT. CONWAY ILL Superintendent of O. R. N. Water Lines in Serious Condition. PORTLAND, June 23.-Captain George C. Conway, superintendent of the O. R. N. water lines, is ser iouslv ill at nis apartments at the Hotel Breslin. Eleventh and Wash ington strets, and hope of his recov ery has about been abandoned, rlis death was hourly expected this morn ing and early in the afternoon. Re latives and friends are at his bedside. Born 56. years ago, Captain Con way took up his residence on the Pacific Coast when a young man. In his early manhood he was master of sailing ships plying out of San Fran cisco. Later he was with the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which operates a line of steamers between Seattle and the Bay City. He remained with that concern, ufl- COLUMBIA at Lowest Tide PASSAGE THOROUGHLY had been accumulating for years, representing dangerous shoals from which no vessel would effect her es cape very easily should the be unfor tunate enough to run on them. But In the past few months all of these numerous shoals have been washed awav. leaving an unobstruct ed channel with a clear sweep to the sea of close to two-thirds of a mile in width. Asside from scouring out all this vast area, through which the four narrow channels wended their way to the sea, the depth of the en tire tract was increased fully 12 inches greater than that of the deepest of the quartet of channels, as shown by the last previous sur vey made by the United States engineers.- The extension of the jetty has created a strong current, which will continue to scour out the sand and sediment. As the big breakwater was pushed farther seaward, the action of the current became more noticeable. It was stronger and the deposits which formed the bar have been un able to withstand the constant force wearing against them. is not improbable when the next survey is made that the channel will be washed out to a depth of perhaps 30 feet at the low water mark. The work on the jetty is being pushed with vigor. It will not be far from completion by next Fall, if the weather remains favorable. The job will be so nearly finished that the breakwater will have about as much effect in deepening the channel as though it were completed. It is cer tain that the work will be drawn to a close next year. But with a channel 26 feet deep and 3000 feet wide, there is no rea son why the largest ships afloat cannot come into the Columbia river and up to Portland. By waiting for high tide a ship drawing 30 feet of water dan easily be accommodated, and there are few ships of such draft that ever visited a Pacific Coast port In the leading ports of the world, vessels of more than 30-foot draft cannot be handled without lightering their cargoes. So with the channel 6 feet deep at the low water mark, Astoria is as well off, so far as a channel is concerned, as any of the big ports of Europe. ,til about nine years ago when he ac cepted, a position as captain of the steamer Columbia, owned by the O.

The American Consular Agent Brewer re mains in charge of the archives. Castro returned here a few days ago after a long absence in the in terior and in return attracted much attention and caused all kinds of rumors. The people of Venezuela did not understand the withdrawal of the American representatives. It is nrohable too that there will be an open rupture with Holland and there are reports that a revoltuion against Castro is being organized in Co lombia. As matters now stand, the United States. France and Colombia practi cally have no relations with Vene zuela, Great Britain and Holland have serious questions pending: of leaving Germany alone which has no dispute., MISSOURI RISING.

Play for the State MUST HAVE NEGRO VOTE Friends of Foraker Hope That he WU1 Have Taft's Support For Senatorship Will Direct Speeches to Interests of Negroes. '.WASHINGTON, June 23.-That Senator Foraker will go on the stump in Ohio and make the effort of his life to carry that state for the repub lican ticket is confidently believed by the republicans high in the councils of the party. On the other hand it is hoped by Foraker's friends, that Foraker is to have Taft's support for the Senatorship. Foraker's program regarding the negroes of the 5th Infantry was one of the first matters to interest the at tention of the leaders as soon as Taft had been nominated. He recognized, unless the negroes turn out in Ohio and give their full "vote to Taft, the state might be endangered. Even if 50 or 75 per cent of them remain at home and do not vote at all, the re publican supremacy in the state will be in jeopardize. For tiiat reason it is insisted that Foraker should go on the stump and make at; least one or two speeches in which 'Ae would direct his remarks to the; interests of the negro voters.

Repre sentative Sherman was removed from the home of former Governor Her rick early today and taken to the Lakeside hospital, suffering from gait stones. It is reported in official bul letin issued tonight that he was hold ing his own after a somewhat rest less day.. The bulletin says if his condition continues to improve it is not likely that an operation will be necessary. Sherman at a late hour this evening dictated a telegram to Secretary Taft, saying that his physi cians assure him that his sickness is not of a critical nature and that he will be able to go home in three or four days. He says that he expects to see Taft in Washington, the mid dle part of next week, An unfavor able symptom in his case is the con tinued high temperature. In the 11 o'clock bulletin tonight it was given 102 temperature with pulse at 92. At that hour Sherman was resting somewhat more comfortably than earlier in the evening.

"Whatever money will buy at As toria, for our needs and maintenance, will be bought there." Thus spoke A. B. Hammond, in the course of a conversation with a well known As torian, recently, in regard to the policies of his company in this im portant regard. And it furnishes forth the text for something that must be said, as well now, as later. That far-seeing man meant that the money his people made in 'As toria, under their new milling pro gram, would be turned back into the local channels of trade and supply, in so far as the city can provide the things requisite; that they would do their share in supporting the com munity in which they figure as a factor and from whence they derive their local income. It is the very key note of communal and individual business success; a note that fails of the sounding far too often in this community, to which end the As torian, with the best and most earn est desire for the good of the whole city broaches a word of warning at this time: There is too much Astoria-made woney being spent at Portland and other neighborhoods contiguous thereto. Men have lived and done business in shacks in Astoria, only to take their home-made money away and invest it where it can never do this city or section a fraction of good. Men build homes here, and then send thousands to Portland for furniture and other equipment, to the detriment and dis couragement of the home-city and her merchants. This policy is known and widely commented on, and it rankles in the public conscience as a deliberate injustice. .There is much to improve here, d compensation in the improve here are just as fine, stocks of Jpp'y, for home and busi s there are at Portland, 'ncking may be readily home dealer, if he 'e chance.

Lewiston is urging Tacoma to assist her in obtaining better trans portation connections. Has Lewiston forgotten, that when recently, Astoria suggested better rates between Lewiston and this port, that the Lewiston press unanimously declared they did not wish to be removed further from the sea? Or does the inland city forget that it and Tacoma are on opposite sides of a lofty mountain range? That Tacoma, by rail, is farther away from her than is Astoria?. That Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia river is the natural sea port for all towns on the Columbia and Snake rivers and their tribu taries?. If it has forgotten these things, we respectfully urge them again upon her ambitious consciousness, in the bare hope that she may realize all they mean to her and to Astoria. STILL A MYSTERY Meier Newman, the Diamond Salesman, Still Missing SALARIES REDUCED Of The Officers Of The American Smelting And Refining Co. NEW YORK. June 23.-Salaries and incidental expenses of officials of the American Smelting and Refining Company have been reduced $750,000 according to Daniel Guggenheim, chairman and president of the comp any. "Before I left for Europe" said Mr. Guggenheimer, on his return from a four months trip abroad, "I set the rolling ball by reducing my own sal ary.My brothers who devote their entire time to the affairs of the comp any, also reduced their salaries volun tarily. "Like all well managed companies we cleaned out augcan stables early last spring. While our salary list is reduced by $750,000, I am informed that the efficiency of our labor has been improved from sixty to eighty per cent to nearly perfect. That means another saving in expenses". The rumor was denied that A. C. Chester Beattie has left the employee of the Guggenheims. Daniel Guggen heim said that Mr. Beattie in all probability would be the manager in chief of the Guggenheim explora t'on Company. Mr. Guggenheim pointed out that none of the Guggenheim brothers drew any salary as officers or direct ors of the Guggenheim Exploration Company.

THIRD ANONYMOUS LETTER $10,000 Must be Placed In Tin Can at the Bronx Park Before June 30 Says the Letters Wife in Serious Condition. NEW YORK, June 23.-Steru Brothers and Company, diamond and jewelry merchants, have received the third in a series of anonymous letters which have been sent to the firm since the disappearance last Tuesday of Meier Newman, a diamond sales man. The letter was turned over to the police. It demanded, as has each of the two proccding letters, that $10,000 be placed in a tin can at the entrance to the Bronx Park before June 30. The letter supposed to have be written by men who hold New man in captivity and who will release him only on payment of the ransom. Policemen investigate the case yes terday. No trace was found of the movements of Newman since he left his home last Tuesday with diamonds worth $10,000. Mrs. Newman, the wife of the missing man, has worried so much over the disappearance that her friends fear she will collapse under the nervous strain. Word was received from Baltimore yesterday to the effect, that Newman who was well known in that city, had not been seen there since Tuesday.

For WASHINGTON, June 23.-The work of preparing sketches of the cereer of army officers covering the last decennial period for the memor ial hall at West Point is now in prep aration in anticipation of the bring ing of the archives of that collection up to the year 1910. Many people not of army circles are not familiar with the liberal bequest of the late Gen. Cullom of the army who left a fort une for the building of what is deem ed by most people who have seen it to be the most beautiful memorial hall ever erected. It is the resting place of tablets commemorating the deeds of officers who died in battle and in it are preserved the records of all graduates of the military acad emy. A long time is required to gath er the information deposited in the memorial hall every ten years. Men who are engaged in this work declare that among all the officers of the army few if any, will show such a record of having been under fire during the last ten years as Gen Bell, chief of staff. Gen Bell, it is said, during the service in the Philippines was under fire in 51 battles or skirmishes. Many other officers have extensive records of striking careers as the past ten years have ben event ful in military circles, the biographi cal collection to be deposited at West Point will be filled with incidents worthy of study by the cadets who look to that hal of fame for inspiration. CONCESSION GRANTED CITY OF MEXICO, June 23.--President Cabreara has granted the concession for thirty miles of rail road necessary to complete the line from Mexico to the Guatemalan capi tal.

Georgia Harper and her excellent company gave another fine perform ance of Nell Gwynne at the Astoria Theatre last niRht. Nell Gwynne will be produced again tonight and to morrow night's performance will be the last of the engagement of this excellent drama. On Thursday night of this week Miss Harper will appear in an elaborate production of Sapho. In Miss Harper's portrayal ,of this strong emotional role she has won for herself an enviable reputation as a high-class artist in this line of act ing and a number of the critics claim that she is among the best and in the front rank with the country's fore most artists in her masterful inter pretation of Daudct's heroine. Miss Harper's version of Sapho is a most pleasing one there being an abund ance of bright comedy to relieve the sadder portions. The production will be staged in an elaborate style. It is said to be a revelation in historical accuracy and lavish scenic accesso ries which will make a pleasing pic ture cm the roomy stage pf the As toria theatre. Joseph Dctrick will be seen as Jean Gaussin a part well suit ed to him and the balance of the large supporting cast of 20 people will play the other numerous char acters. .TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.

W8S" One Of The Six Admirals Of The British Fleet Arrives at Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. Sir James Elphinstonc Erskine, senior of the six admirals of the British fleet, arriver in this city yesterday on his way around the world, accompanied by his wife and family. In an inter view, he is quoted as expressing the opinion that the Pacific will be the scene of the next ocean warfare though he would not say between what powers. He also expressed the conviction that still greater battle ships than ever yet have been plan ned, would be laid down in future naval programs that vessels of the Dreadnaught type had not yet reach ed their fullest development. The tendency, he said, was to put as many guns as could be on a single base. The admiral, who is making a two years tour, came here by way of the straits of Magellan. After a stay of a few days, he will proceed on his way to the orient by way of Brit ish Columbia. Being 69 years of age the admiral will go on the retired list next year.

The four drinking basins were covered with the boards that had protected them all through the winter months. At the Woman's Temple, the bronze figure of a child held out a cup invitingly but no water flowed. This is the fountain that in 1902, was given by the 300,000 children of the United States,' each contributing ten cents, that, the. little, children of Chicago might never go .thirsty on a hot day. It was made by" George Wade, a famous London sculptor. Another fountain is just inside the North entrance of the Temple the basin is surmounted by a little bronz bay holding a trident but the figure guarded no precious water. The only explanation obtainable for the lack of water at the fountains was that the pipes had been neglected.

TWO HEN LOOKING FOR 1 ROUBLE LAUNCH ZEPHYR ON ILWACO RUN CAPTAIN WATERS BELIEVES THERE WILL BE AMPLE FREIGHT AND PASSENGER BUSINESS. The Zephyr, a little steam launch, has been placed in the passenger and freight service between Ilwaco and Astoria, and already has made sev eral daily runs. Captain Waters of Ilwaco is in command of the Zephyr, and he believes that an ex cellent business awaits his venture, for since the Nahcotta was taken off from the Ilwaco run there has been a constant need of daily communica tion between the two places. Captain Waters says he will soon have a larger vessel for the business, one that will have ample seating of sufficient dimensions to take care of and protect the freight in bad weather. The boat for Ilwaco will leave As toria every afternoon. From 5 several letters that have reached Astoria it is evident that the Roanoke had a pre'tty rough voyage on her wav south on the last trip. The letters complained mostly of the sea-sickness that prevailed among the feminine passengers, and one of them also stated that one of the ship's boats was stove in, which fact indicates pretty bad weather. JACKIES ENJOYING SHORE LEAVE MEN FROM THE TORPEDO BOATS HAVING A GOOD TIME IN A QUIET WAY. ARE GUARDING THEIR NETS ARMED WITH MAGAZINE RIFLES AND HEAVY RE. VOLVERS. The bar tug Astoria came into the harbor yesterday from Gray's Har bor, and this morning will take out the new hull that has been built by the Leathers' Company for parties up the coast. The hull wil be taken to Gray's Harbor where the engines will be installed. The Astoria js known to almost every man who fol lows the sea in these parts and many looked her over with much interest yesterday. The Astoria was built in 1884 at North Bend, Ore. There was a surprising diversity in the bid's offered yesterday for the job of raising the Minnie E. Kelton, the steam schooner which lies submerged in the lower harbor. The lowest bid was just one-third the amount of the largest bid. The tenders were opened in the office of-P. L. Cherry yester day afternoon, and were as follows: Captain James McKenna, master of the vessel, $5000; Leander Lebeck, $8475; Willamette Columbia River Ship Lining Company, $15,000; and H. H. Yankwich, of Portland, $12, 850. The bids are to be sent to the underwriters in San Francisco, prob ably by wire, and it is probable that tU arrentanre of One Of the D1QS will soon be announced. The West Coast Lumberman says: "The C. E. Burrows Lumber Com- oanv. Aberdeen, will be paid pro rata bv the owners of the steamer Minnie V.. Kelton for the lumber thev lost when that steamer went down off Willapa Harbor some time ago." The British steamer AUanton ar rived in over the bar last evening --and was held up by Dr. Holt, the quarantine officer, because she could not show a clean bill of health from San Francisco, her last port of call. Apparently because of the oversight A little boy who was eager to see the torpedo boats yesterday after noon tumbled off into the water as he was passing over the plank from the Goldsborough to the Rowan. He was fished out, however, none the worse for the episode other than the wetting. Visitors are welcome on the little war vessels from 1 o 5 o'clock in the afternoon; in the morning hours the vessels are closed to visi tors as the men are then engaged in cleaning up and performing other duties on board. The Fox and Davis, the two little torpedo boats stationed at Portland since the Rose Festival, are now not expected down until Friday or per haps Saturday, so that the two in the harbor will be here long enough for all to see that wish to. The men from the Rowen and Goldsboro are getting all the shore leave that is possible, and are appar ently enjoying themselves in fine shape. They are having a good time, but they are not evincing any desire to paint the town red and really have made an excellent impression around the city streets. The Chinese steward from the Rowan is the only man who has managed to get into any trouble, and the trouble that fell to him was not of his seeking. He hastened on shore to ereet some long lost cousins and old time friends among the Astoria Celestials and all was going well with him until an eagle-eyed emigra tion officer saw the strange China man and took him in tow instantly. The steward was marvelously indig nant; that he, a steward from one of the United States naval vessels, should be taken up as a suspect. The nffirprs of the toroedo boats inter vened and soon had the steward at liberty again. of her agent there she left the Cali fornia oort without fumigation, and it will be necessary to fumigate her here. This will delay the Allanton in Astoria until perhaps rioon today making her lose about one full day. The Allanton evidently made a slow passage up from San Francisco, the trio taking her 93 hours. She is under charter by the Pacific Export T.ntmher Comoanv and will load lumber at Portland for the Orient. TEA There's plenty of hum bug in tea; not one ounce in a ton Schilling's Best. Tour grocer returaa jtvt mmt It im 4tt it; wi s bin The steamer George W. Elder ar rived in vesterdav morn'me on her regular trip to Portland. The gasoline schooner Condor went to sea yesterday Portland to Walport. The steamer Yosemite went down and out yesterday on the way to San Francisco. The transport Sherman left out yesterday on her way to Mare Island for repairs. p t Armed with magazine rifles and heavy revolvers strapped around their waists, two men are watching their nets out fronwSand Island, and it is evident they are both looking for trouble and will not run away from it if it comes. One of the men is J. N. Stensland, a well known fish erman whose residence is at Chinook, j and his companion is the boatpuller. The two men have set eight nets in front of the seining ground on Sand Island recently leased by the United States government to the Columbia River Packing Association, and are apparently resolved to back up what they evidently consider their rights i'n h nintrpr even if it involves bloodshed. The facts in the conten tion ay be briefly stated. It was the purpose of the Columbia River Packers' Association to run their seines out from the leased grounds. But the two fishermen have set their eight nets directly in the way, so that at long as their nets remain where they now are, it will be impossible for the association to use their seines in the waters in front of their leased seining grounds. The fishermen are said to admit that company may have a perfect right to the land on the Island which they have leased from the Federal govern ment, but the fishermen assert that the waters in front of the leased ground are just as free to them now as ever. That is, they deny that the leasing of the land on the island car ries with it any exclusive right to the adjacent waters; and further more, that even if the Federal government had intended that the lease should carry with it the right to the adja cent waters, that such a lease would be null and void. The fishermen are apparently tak ing the ground that the waters of the river are entirely free, and that the United States government or no one else may claim any exclusive right to them. When Ole J. Settem, the water bailiff, ran near the two men yesterday he observed their make-up with no little astonishment. For a moment he didn't know whether they were pirates or not. One of the men hailed the water Damn in stentorian tones, at the same time, balancing his rifle in his hands. Mr. Settem kept on going, however, in spite of the guns and the war-like appearance of the men. They were attired something after the manner of the leading characters in The Sheriff,", the Wild West play now on the boards of the Hagar theatre, and with wide hats- and the array of shooting irons looked formidable enough to scare even the tars off a torpedo boat destroyer. The water bailiff wanted to know what was up. The fishermen told him. Mr. Settem pondered for a while and then came away; he didn't see that he could do anything, for though armed, the men did not carry con cealed weapons as far as he could observe. Just what the packers' association can do in the matter appears to be somewhat' problematical, though their attorneys may know just what move to make. But it is quite evi dent that Stensland and his com panion are prepared to make a bitter fight, and it was surmised by some last night that there is a probability that they are being "backed up by some one in the pending contention. i: men's and boys' clothi i: jteCf-:--; p things.

Another large crowd greeted the second performance of "The Sheriff" at Hagers Theatre last night. The company is one of unusual ex cellence and Is destined to become very popular among the many theatre-goers of Astoria. There Is a sweet vein running through the play, and while it has many thrilling melodramatic situa tions, there is Mill plenty of good wholesome comedy. The title role is taken by Mr. Her- i LILY BRANSCOMBE. bert Ashton who by the way is the manager and director of the organi zation. Mr. Ashton lias a beautiful voice and plays his part with an easy and graceful manner that marks him the finished actor he is. The leading feminine part is in the hands of the well known and accomplished ac tress, Miss Lily Branscombe, who is the Sheriffs daughter, Kate, and to gav that she does well in the role would indeed, be putting it mildly. Miss Branscombe has a splendid personality in the part and acts it with a determination that goes far with her audience. The balance of the company are all happily cast and give a splendid performance throughout. "The Sheriff' will continue until Thusday night when the company will produce a full scenic mechanical, and electrical production, of the beautiful well known problem play "Sapho" which will run for the re mainder of the 'week with a matinee Saturday and Sunday. The Ashton Company have more than made good with local playgoers and if they do not "pack 'em in" tor dear "Sapho" then something is wrong with the drawing qualities of the old piece. In Circuit Court- Judgment was rendered in the sum of $100 in favor of the plaintiff in the case of T. L. Driscoll vs. Clarence Winters in the circiut court yester day. The case was contested warm ly. It involved the payment of $100, which had been advanced on a gaso line engine. The only other cases heard yesterday were the following: Order to correct decree in case of Mrs. A. Kirkland vs. A. D. Kirkland; demurrer argued and taken under ad visement in case of A. Krause vs. Charles Markow et. al. Warrants For Three J Sheriff Pomeroy and Chief of Police Gammal began a search yes terday for the three men who are ac cused of having assaulted Matt Wal quist at an early hour last Sunday morning. v Walquist was pretty badly cut up, evidently by a knife, and he accuses Joe Trva, A. Kotti and John Sattyaroi of being the men who assaulted him. They are fishermen, and it is thought that they are keep ing out of the way. A warrant has been issued for their arrest and it is probable that they will soon be found. Getting Even- Probably it isn't often that the lumber men get a chance to talk back to the railroads, but that one chance came is evidenced by the following story, told by an Astoria man who has just returned from a business trip. The recent floods in Washing ton and Montana hit several of the railroads hard, especially the North ern Pacific, and there was a big and immediate demand' for bridge mater ial.

ASTORIA'S RELIABLE CLOTHIER NEW SCHEDULE IN EFFECT TODAY OPENING OF THE NORTH BEACH SUMMER SEASON IS MARKED BY IMPORTANT CHANCES. Today marks the commencement of several important changes in the summer schedule of at least three boats running in connection with the O. R. N. line. The Nahcotta, which heretofore has left Astoria at 7:30 o'clock in the morning, will here after leave at 6:45 o'clock. She will also make two trips daily to Meglers, leaving out in the afternoon about 1:30 o'clock, connecting at Megler's with the I. R. N. train for Ilwaco and other beach towns along the coast. The Hassalo will leave Astoria every morning at 7 o'clock for Port land via Meglers. The steamer T. J. Potter will also start this morning on the first of her daily trips during the summer for the North Beach traffic. The Potter will go direct to Meglers from Port and, not touching at this city. Under the new arrangement the sailing hours of the Potter from Portland will not be regulated by the action of the tides as heretofore. She Will leave Portland every morn ing at 8:30 o'clock, except Saturdays, and she will return at' 10:30 o'clock in the evenings. On Saturdays she will sail from Portland at 2 in the afternoon and remain at Meglers urn til Sunday evening, when she will leave on the return trip. Owing to the improved service the travel to the beach is expected to be, much greater this season than ever before. At the rate berths are being engaged on the Potter, it is said that she will go out with a full list on her, initial voyage. She will have a Gov ernment permit for carrying about 600 passengers.

NEW YORK, June 21.-,,Woman has failed to 'make good' as a leader and thinker in the professions and in business. While many succeed in earning a very comfortable living for themselves, few rise to the top in any of the many lines of activity which they have invaded in recent years very tew arc among physicians or lawyers of note. Few rise to be ex ecutive heads of colleges, editors, or directors of big business enterprises They have had control of fortunes; they have had sway in kitchens; they have always taught; they have always acted; yet men are the great finan ciers, cooks, teachers, managers of theatres. In no profession arc they equal to any of the leading men who stand at the head of various occupa tions and whose names arc familiar to the public." This is the sweeping arraignment brought against woman in business and professional life by one of her own class, Mary O'Connor Newell, in the July number of Appleton's maga zine, just published here. She quotes with approval the statement of a well-known man that there are three kinds of women in business the kind that marry, the discontented kind and that only the latter. are success ful. The confession is, made that even the women who seem to be most suc cessful in professional occupations usually regard themselves as failures whether they will admit it or not By the time they have reached the point where they are able to accomp lish important results they feel keen ly the lack of family tics and home surroundings, and the more womanly they are the more strongly does this lack make itself felt. This is the ex planation given of why so many young business women for whom brilliant careers are predicted aban don their chosen occupation for mar riage. In the Appleton article the writer also asserts that women are inferior to men in almost all the qualities that command success, that, except in rare cases, they have no real enthusiasm for their work, that they will not stick to their word, and that they have no code of business honor. Only in the home, as wife and mother does woman occupy a position of her own equal to that of man in the field of business, is the startling confes sion of this writer, speaking "from the inside" with a frankness that no man would dare to imitate.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1908. THE MORNING ASTOHIAN, ASTOMA, OREGON. iM a t m tm m 4 a mm it m m 111! I.I 1 111 I Ml Jill By Bishop Bell and Rev. Robert Johnson AT LOUISVILLE, JUNE 23 Addresses Made Before Many Hear en at the International Sunday School Convention Wai Heard With Much Interest. LOUISVILLE, June 2J.Tlie four principal ipeakdra ut the Interna tional Sunday School Convention today were Rev. J, A. McKany, C. R. isluckall, Robert Johnson and Binhop Bell, The Rev. Robert Johmon,. D. D., the pastor of the American Pres byterian Church of Montreal, ipoke at followi; What has the Sabbath School to do with a theme commonly regarded as appropriate to national congresses and to councils of mature minds? Much; for the conception of the Sab ath School as the nursery of the Church only, has passed, and to-day it is recognized as one of the might iest educational forces in the religious world. Not even to the pulpit will it acknowledge inferiority as a force moulding the nation's conception of life and its purpose. Add to this fact, aUo recognized, that the Sabbath School has for its field of operation life at its mot impressionable period, and at a period when impressions are most permanent, and it will not be denied that the opportunity here af forded for the cultivation of true con ception of life in its social and cor porate relationships Is surpassed. An appeal to history will show that not a few of the world's worthiest re formers received in early youth those convictions that afterwards became the battle cry of great causes which they championed. Today in the wave of temperance, sentiment, sweeping victoriously over our continent, we have the climax, the cumulative force, of quiet and unostentatious instruc tion in temperance truth, imparted for generation to a constituency of fif teen millions who have to-day become the voters in our lands. High ideals of life for tiie nation as for the individual are not to be re garded as beyond either the compre hension or the interest of our Sab bath School constituency. What is more profoundly affecting our life as a people today than the athletic crate which has gripped the young manhood of our age? And what could be more profoundly im portant, and at the same time of greater interest to the youth of any community, than right thinking con cerning the relation which athletic ism holds to life- In how many schools is Saturday's baseball match the theme of conversation as the class gathers on the following after noon! Can we teach these boys that true Kiea'.ness is spiritual and not physical? can we how up a spiritual ideal that will prove a conquering counter-attraction? To do this is truly to serve our age. To-day, too i( r. tit tiArn to tin m-in urtiA V(!!4 uivs.fl niv iv fv iiiiMi iiw v olythe cinderpath or the diamond. "The honors most sought after," a Chicago professor assures us, "have passed from the class-room to the compus," and yet the age of the wfrld that cherished such ideals as these, the ngc whose heroes were men of muscle, in which the physical was worshipped and the spiritual slighted, was an age that by the cherishing of such ideals, ripened itself for the judgement of the Flood. This is the great truth of anti-deluvian history. The age from which but eight souls were saved alive, was an age whose standards of greatness were physical, and for which the heroic was the mas sive and the muscular. To save the youth of our land from such ideals of greatness is to serve the nation and to serve our age. What shall the Sabbath School teach with regard to the war spirit of today? For ages the conception of national greatness has been that which rests on the might of armies, and upon success as at conquering power. We are learning at last that it is as true for the nation as for the individual, that he who would be greatest must be servant of all. The throne is no longer the place to which one is raised for adulation and honor, it is now the vantage point from which he may stoop to serve. ,"Ich Dien" is the motto not alone of Brit ain's heir-apparent, but of every ruler of men worth the name.' Britain and Aierica are great today among na- fons, their rulers are" great in the councils of kings, riot because of con quest achieved, but because of service rendered. The liberties they have won they have passed on to others; their strength they have used not for sel fish aggrandizement but for the up lifting of the oppressed, for the. pro tection of the weak. The Sabbath School rightly ap- predated li the mightiest Peace Con gress ever convened. Silently but surely It Is 1 building the one true Temple of Peace in which the nations shall yet gather to hang upon its walls the war trumpet and the sword, So to build in teaching that true great nei for u nation, as for an individual, is in service not. in conquest, in ser vice of the strong for the weak, of the free for the oppressed, is the high privilege of the Sabbath School today and how better, and where better, can the cause of Mini who is the Prince of Peace be served? How more truly can be advanced that Kingdom whose' sceptre is love, and whoe throne is sacrifice? THE BIBLE SCHOOL AND THE PASTOR. By Bishop Win. M. Bell, D. D., LL. D. Bishop of the United Brethren Church, Berkeley, Calif. President of the California (N.) State S. S. Association, At the International S. S. Conven tion, Louisville, Ky., Tuesday after noon, June 23, 1908. Touching redemption, salvation, and all righteousness, the Bible is the one dependable, satisfying, infallible guide. In its complete message to the soul of man it is the very sacrament of God. For centuries it has been the preacher's great text book. There has been a high utility in such use of the Book but it is the duty and function of the Bible School to rescue the Book from the results that have fol lowed its being chiefly used as a text book for sermons, That Is the finest type of preaching which leads the people into the Book itself. The In ternational, and kindred Bible School Associations, stand for an unalterable purpose to make the Bible not only the text book of the preacher, but the text book of the preacher's audi ence. In other words, the Bible in its matchless content must not only be supreme on the pastor's desk, but it must become the constant and popu lar reading and reference book of all the i-eople. II. The Crcatest Book. There are two imminent possibilit ies in the future religious develop ment of the ract. Either Bibical and Evangelical Protestantism, or mod ernized Romanism. Anything like a general atheism is not a possibility in the present state of development The awakening of a commanding in terest in, and use of, the Bible, is a matter of strategic importance in this generation. Effort at this point is a direct contribution to the speedy evangelization of the world. As to mortality and character, every life must begin at the beginning, Our ssential need is redemption. In the last a- nlysis the authority of Christ is the authority of complete human salvation. Christ is the only solution of sin, character, and destiny. It is eminently fitting that the whole Christian world unite in the move ment for placing this Book of the great message on the brain and heart of the present and coming genera tion. II. The Greatest Book in its School. The growing use of the Bible School as a method of Christian work and worship is beyond all question under the authority, inspiration, pro vidence of Almighty God. We are but half awake to the possibilities of the Bible School. There are certain requisites of a higher efficiency in the Bible School that are most apparent 1. General and Individual Inspira tion. The Imperative Demand for Deep and Genuine Christian Experience. 3 The Personal Use of the Bible. 4 Training in Stewardship and Proportionate Giving. 5 Thorough information as to Home and Foreign Missions. 6 The Temper of Conquest and the Passion of Achievement.. 7 A Passion for Soul Winning. 8, Training for Participation in the Remedial Movements for Social and Civic Righteousness.- 9, In Protest against the Menace of the Nation through the Lust of Unscrupulous Commercialism. 10, For the Creation and Enforce ment of Christian Definitions and Government. :'10 III. The Pastor with the Great est Book in Its Great School. The pastor of the Church is the pastor of the Bible School and it is his most fruitful and responsive par ish. The duties of the pastor to the Bible School are: s 1. That he give it Complete Pas toral Care and Service. Teachers and Officers for Prayer and Conference just before Each Session rf the School. J' 3. That He hold s himself Respon sible for Teacher Training Classes. 4. That He work Constantly and Suitably in the Sunday Sessions. S. That He Fit Himself for Lead ership in this Work at any Cost. 6. That He Promote .the Organi- IN DGf T DRINK Not Moral Scruple!, But Busi ness Reasons, Is Why IS ANSWER OF STATISTICS Men Are Now Starting to Learn That "Booze" end Business Will Not Mix, and That it Does Not Pay. NEW YORK, June 23,-Economic conditions or, in common parlance, it docsn not pay," is the great under lying factor in the anti-drink move ment in the United States, according to the forthcoming number of Ap plcton's magazine, winch has taken up an exhaustive study of reasons for the suppression of the liquor traffic in states and smaller communities all over the country. According to the results disclosed by this investigation, the movement is neither moral nor religious but finds its impetus in the discovery of an increasing number of men that they can succeed better if they "cut out" drink and is the action of employers similar to that recently taken by the H. C. Frick Co., in Pittsburg, in issuing orders against drinking among, their workmen, purely from consideration of labor efficiency. Elaborate statistics gathered by Appleton's from government sources, the inside records of life insurance companies and from investigations conducted among various professions and lines of business, show that the consumption of alcohol is being re duced in this country: particularly among the higher and more intelli gent classes not because of any greater moral scruples against drink, but because men are coming to the opinion that they can accomplish more work, can make more money, if they drink alcohol sparingly or not at all. As an illustration of this is cited the decrease in the per capita two and one-half gallons in 1840 to less than one gallon ,at present, while the consumption of malt liquors, con taining relatively little alcohol, has increased to the astonishing amount of twenty-one gallons a year for each person. In other words, hard drink ing is being given up by more and more men, not because it is drinking bnt because it is a matter of dollars and cents to them. The result of an actuarial inquiry in Great Britain are given to show that the elimination of the excessive consumption of alcohol in that coun try would increase its labor output by more than $2,000,000,000 a year, while a simitar study of statistics in the United States indicates an increased productivity for the abstaining man as compared with the user of large quantities of alcoholic stimulants of nearly 50 per cent. That is, other things being equal, the man who "cuts out" the alcohol may reason ably expect when he dies to be worth twice as much as the heavy drinker. Another inquiry among more than 6,000 employers showed that thirty one out of thirty-two classified sets of replies gave reasons for forbidding or discouraging the use of alcohol among their employes on economic grounds a better quality of work, fewer accidents, and so on. As a result of these figures the con clusion is drawn that the reason for the present anti-drink movement, as contrasted to former prohibition waves or temperance crusades, de pends upon the answer to the great American question, "Does it pay?" zation of Great Classes for Men. 7.

GENERAL WRIGHTS PLANS MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 23-Gen Luke E. Wright will leave Thursday for Washington.General Wright had little to say regarding his plans after his assumption of the secretaryship but said that existing arrangements in the war departments would be dis turbed little. He said: v "1 am only going in for a few months until March 4." Don't you expect then to be re tained in Mr. Taft's cabinet if he should be elected?" he was asked. 'I don't anticipate anything," was the reply with a smile. TRAIN FLOATED Flood Catches Coaches. And Carries Them Almost A Mile From Track. CHICAGO, June 2.1.-A despatch-' to the Tribune, from Fcnnimore, Wis says::. Caught into the surging sea waters which inundated Southwestern Wis consin Sunday night, two coaches or a train on the narrow gauge line be tween Fcnnimore and Woodman were floated a full quarter of a mile from the tracks while 18 within bail ed frantically to save their lives. The engine had been uncoupled when the storm broke and run a few hundred yards ahead Six feet of water was then encountered and the engineer and fireman were forced to the roof of the cab where they spent the night. The baggage car remained with the coaches until the latter swung against a telegraph pole and came to rest. The baggage car then tipped over. The three men inside escaped by opening the door and swimming out. They clambered onto the side of the car and perched there through the night. FOREST FIRE Sweeps Through Colorado Total Lost About $75,000. COLORADO "SPRINGS, Colo., June 23.

ATURDAl June J Ladies, Don't Do Read Our AD in i Friday's Astorian mm i PIONEER TALK FROM CLATSOP WARRENTON'S CHEERFUL ANb PHILOSOPHIC VETER AN, DR. B. OWENS ADAIR, HAS A WORD WITH HER OLD FRIENDS AT THE PIONEER RE-UNION. The following is the text of the spirited address made by Dr. B. Owens Adair of this county, before the Oregon Pioneer Association, and h is sure to be read with very definite interest by her home-friends and colleagues: "I have the honor of making my best bow to one of Oregon's native and most wortny sons, Colonel Mil ler, your president, and to you, my pioneer friends. I greet you with a Beart full of appreciation, knowing well your true value and worth. Who, better than myself can understand and appreciate your toils, your straggles an your successes in makr ing this one of the greatest States in cur Union. x "I have been asked to give you a rambling talk of a few minutes' dura tion. I will choose for my text 'Sixty years ago.' What has come to us since 60 years ago? Looking back-j ward from this hour it seems but yesterday. But looking forward from then tiTl now, it has been a full age. The road has been long, rugged, and j circuitous. The changes from then until now can never be fully under stood or appreciated by the youth of this age. Sixty years ago when we came here, we found a wilderness in all its virgin beauty and wildness, with only the red man, with his toma hawk, his bow and arrow, and the wild beasts that roamed the forests at their own sweet will, to give us welcome. Then we looked forward to a yearly mail that must come around the 'Horn' in the old wooden j bottoms, or across the plains with J the emigrant train. But were wej unhappy then? Not a bit of it. We, found plenty of work for our hands to do. The devil had no need to find employment for us. There were no trusts in those days; no grafts or grafters; no labor unions; we had neither locks or bolts; we had no use for penitentiaries nor insane asylums. The latch string was always found on the outside and a heart full of welcome within. But since 60 years We Are Headquarters Mason Fruit Jars Pint jars, doz Quart jars, doz One-half gallon jars, doz Jar caps, doz Very best jar rings, 3 doz. A. V. ALLEN Sole Agent for the Celebrated H.

Our yearly mail has been multiplied by more than 360 times. The old pack train of jaided horses and mules, and the old emigrant wagon propelled by the faithful oxen and sometimes by the precious cow that was called upon to do double duty; not only to fur nish milk for our children, but to work in the yoke as well. All these have been supplanted by the iron horse that comes speeding across the continent, snorting smoke and fire from its nostrils. He comes lad ened, not only with precious human beings, but with the wealth of our own and other nations as welL But far in advance comes the speedier telegraphic dispatches. From nation to nation, from continent to conti nent, the messages fly on wings of lightning. Oh, what a wonderful discovery; what a wonderful power is electricity. Only about 25 years ago the telephone was invented. In 1879 I went to New York and there, on a street corner was a telephone on exhibition. For 25 cents you could talk with the man at the other end of the line, 'away down town', four or five blocks away. The people were lined up like going to a circus, waiting their turn. I fell in line and abided my time. And never shall I forget the sensation that voice pro duced upon me. It was so strange, so unnatural; I could not understand one. word he said; and it seemed to me that I was listening to a voice from some unknown world. "And from this imperfect machine has come the graphophone, mega phone and other phones together with that wonder of all wonders, the wireless telegraph. Oh! stop! stop! and think of it for one moment. There in mid ocean is a great ship in dis tress; hundreds of lives are in peril; out goes that noiseless call for help. 'Help, help us help!' Back, back, flashes the message tof love, cheer; 'rescue is on the way. Oh, this is an age of inventions, discoferies and of wonders; one great event crowding upon another in such rapid succes sion that we cease to wonder. And all this, all this since 60 years ago; who can tell what 60 years hence may bring? I prophecy that in 60 years we will be holding communica tion with our neighbors the planets. "The only sad part about it, is that we pioneers cannot hope to live 60 years more. But while we do live, let us be happy and enjoy the fruits and flowers of our labors, ar.d while we are keeping up with t'e times, doubt not.. Oh don't let us forget the past. Let us live our lives over and over again in memory and in 75 .85

Preserve it and hand it down to pos terity and you will receive the honor to which you are so justly done." Pertsvers. I have often heard people In mature life say, "If I bad only kept on as I had begun, if I had only persisted In carrying out my ambition, I might have amounted to something and been Infinitely happier." Multitudes of people have led mis erable lives of regret, with thwarted ambitions constantly torturing them, simply because In a moment of weak ness and discouragement they turned back. If there la any time a person needs nerve, grit and stamina It Is when tempted to turn back, when the coward voice within says: "Don't you see bow foolish It Is for you to try to do this thing? Tou have not the means or the strength. How foolish to sacrifice years of comfort and pleas ure at home among the people who love you for the sake of doing whnt you have undertaken! It Is better to turn back and acknowledge your mistake than to go on and sacrifice so much." Whatever you do or how heavy the burden, do not lay It down at such a time. No matter how dark the way or how heavy the heart, wait until the "blue" depression or the dis couragement lias passed before taking any decided step. Success Magazine. Customs of the Street.

She had been kept away from her five pupics some hours, and was extreme ly anxious to get to them. When too weak and restless she was laid in front of the stove, her head resting on writer's hand, bloody froth oozing from mouth; the pupies whining for their dying mother; and her anxious look, towards them was clearly notic ed; but dissolution was near, and she Cleanses the system thoroughly and clears sallow complexions ci pimples and blotches. It la guaranteed and California could not raise herself. Suddenly her head relaxed and something passed from the body. At that moment Mrs. Thompson, who was kneeling, dis tinctly felt something passing her, and the dog "Teddy" who lay with his head resting on Mrs, Thompson's feet and dress, behind the little mourn ful scene, suddenly jumped up and gave a bark, and looked anxiously and fearfully towards the box where the pups were.
