NO. 164 ASTORIA, OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1908 PRICE FIVE CENTS AMERICANS ARE ANGRY Disgusted With'Treatmen In Olympic Games A VIGOROUS PROTEST In Tug of War Discrimination Is Alleged Against Yankees ENGLISH HAD ''FIXED" SHOES St it Hoped Something Will be Done to Stop the Alleged Unfairness on Pert of the British Official! The Weather Hat Improved. LONDON, July 17. -The Ameri can athlete are thoroughly di gustcd with the treatment accorded them by the official of the Olympic game. The secrecy with which the draw ings for the track event were made and the rcault of this system, whereby the best American runners were put in the same heat, was bad enough, they nay, but now the unfairness in the tug of war today between an American and United Kingdom team, in which the official allowed the United Kingdom team to compete villi prepared shoes, contrary to all rule, has disheartened the American contestants. James K, aullivan. American com missioner to the games, has entered S vigorous protest and it is hoped that in the interest of the success of future Olympics the higher officials will do something to stop the unfair ness with which the Americans al leged the officials of the amateur ath letic association who arc conducting the games arc treating their visitors. The Amateur Athletic Association has refused to allow the pole vaulters to dig a hole for their poles, although the Americans claim this has been the practice at all previous revivals of the Olympic games. Bad weather again spoiled the sport today, the players being repeated driven off the grounds by the, heavy rains. The attendance today was even smaller than yesterday. In the first heat of the individual competition the best performance was given by FJcisch, Australian. He 6cored five points to his opponent's nothing. America has protested the tug of war, but its protest has been disal lowed. Greece and Germany withdrew from this contest, and the first pull was between the American team and the second tejim from the United Kingdom. The protest was made on the ground that the United Kingdom team, contrary to the regulations, wore prepared shoes. The American team lost the first pull. The Ameri can team had two more puis, the con ditions being the two best out of three, but in view of the cause for their protest decided to retire. The English team, who are mem bers of Liverpool police force, wore an immense shoe, which could not tinder any circumstances be used tor ordinary purposes. In aditional to this, every man had the heels of his shoes incased in steel, which sank in to the turf, while the head man had spikes in his shoes. The Americans are disgusted at this treatment. The rules say distinctly that no competitdr shall wear pre pared boots or shoes or bots or shoes with projecting' nails, tips, points, sprigs or hollows of any kind and that no competitor shall make a hole in the gronnd. By the time the games opened this afternon the weather had cleared up somewhat and there was a better at tendance. In the final of the javelin throwing cntcit, held In the middle, E. V. Lem ming, Sweden, won, with 179 feet 10 inches, beating the record for the oth er style of throwing. Ifalse, Norway, was second, and Mison, Sweden, third. In the York round of archery for gentlemen, V. Hod, United King dom, was first, with 403 points; J. B. Richardson, American, was fifth, with 344 points. I he gymnastic team competition was won by Sweden, with 428 points, Norway was second, with 425, and Finland third, with 405. The United Kindom won the three- lap cycle team race, defeating Ger many in the final. A telegram received here from Kill- maloch, County Limerick, where Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian run ner, is training, says the injury he sustained yesterday is very slight. BASEBALL GAMES.

Kelley, of Mansfield, Pa., writes; "I was in poor health for two years, suffering from kidney and blad der trouble, and spent considerable money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked benefit, but was cured by Foley's Kidney Cure, and I desire to add mv testimony that it may be the cause of restoring the health of others."

The genuine is in a yellow package Although a good part of the market for Washington coal In California lias been lost through the increased pro duction of fuel oil in that state Wash ington shared In the general Increase in the production of coal in l7. The total output tor the year wan 3,6H0.5.12 short tons, having a spot value of S7,679,HUI, tin Increase of 404,348 short tons, or 12.34 per cent in quantity, and of f 1,771,367; or 29,98 per cent, in value, compared with 190(5 The avcniRC price per ton advanced from $1 .80 in 1906 to $2.09 in 1907. During the first ten months of the year the coal-nuuing industry of the State was in a highly satisfactory con dition. In November and December, however, owing to the financial dis turbances, the output of the mines was curtailed about 33 percent. But for this the production would proba bly have exceeded 4,OX),0O0 tons. The number of men employed in the coal mines of Washington increas ed from 4,529 in 1906 to 5.945 in 1907, and the average number of working days increased from 266 to 273. The only decrease shown in the statistics of coal production in Washington in 1907 as compared with 19U6 was in the orodiKtivc canacitv of the em ployees, the average yearly tonnage per man having declined from 723. tons in 1906 to 619 tons in 19117. Tl he average daily production per man de creased from 2.72 to 2.27 tons. Nearly all the mine of the State arc operated on ao ciuht hour sche dule, 5,594 men out of a total of 5,945 employed working eight hours a (lay in 1907. Washing apparatus has been in stalled at 15 plants in the State, and the total amount of coal washed dur ing 1907 was 799.015 ton yielding 644,01 tojis of cleaned coal and 154, 514 tons of refuse. D, C. Hotting, State mine inspector, reports that the total number of acci dents in the coal mines of Washing ton in 1907 w 131, of which 36 were fatal. The death rate per thousand of employes was 6.06. and the number of tons mined for each life lost was 102,237. This makes an unfavorable comparison with the casuality statis tics for 1906 and particularly with those for 1905. In 1906 the death rate per thousand of employees was 486 and the tonnage for each life lost was 148,917; in 1905 the death rate per thousand was 2.73, with a tonnage of 220,379 for each life lost. The coal beds of Washington arc found in the western and central por tions of the State, and are mined in five principal fields the North Pugct Sound field, including the coal mines f Skagit and Whatcom counties; the South Pugct Sound field, comprising the Pugct Sound basin, just east of Seattle; the Roslyn field, in Kittitas County, on the eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains; and the South western field, embracing the counties of Lewis and Cowlitz. The coals of Washington range from lignite to bituminous coking coals, and including some natural coke and anthracite. The bituminous cooking coals of Washington are the only coking coals on the Pacific slope of the United States. They arc found in the Wilkeson-Carbonado district, in the South Puget Sound field, and also in the North Puget Sound field, but coke is now made only in the dis trict firsr named. The Wilkeson-Carbonado coal runs high in ash and is usually washed before coking. The lignite or subt.ituminous coals of Newcastle and Renton, in the South Pugct Sound field, are generally of high grade and well suited for domes tic use. The steamship consumption in the trade with Alaska and the Ori ent is now the most important mar ket for the high-grade bituminous coals of Washington. An advance chapter of the volume Mineral Resources of the United Sta tes, calendar year, 1907, on the pro duction of coal, by E. W. Parker, giv ing the statistics presented above, to gether with similar facts in regard to. the other States, will soon be pub lished by the United States Geologi cal Survey. G. B. Burhans Testifies After 4 Years G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center, N.

Visitor to tbo hospital of the old pensioners at Chelsea will perhaps have noticed In tbo colounaJo a simple me morial tablet, placed there by order of tbo Into Queen Vlctorln to record tho heroic constancy and discipline of tho officers and soldiers who lost their lives in the wreck of the transport Bir kenhead oil tho Cnpe of Good nope on Feb. 20, 1852. On Jan. 7 In tbut year, aft er erabnrking re-enforcements amount ing to fifteen officers and 470 men for the troops engaged In the Kaffir war, tbo Birkenhead loft Ireland for the capo. Ou board were also 100 women and children, tbo wives and families of soldiers, All went well till the transport reached Simon's Town, where ten officers and eighteen men were landed. Tho ship continued her course on the evening of Feb. 25. But the captain in bis anxiety for a quick pas sage unfortunately kept so closo to tho Bhoro that (luring tho night the ship got among tho rocks which line the coast About three miles off Danger point at 2 o'clock in the morning of the 20th, while all except those on watch were sleeping peacefully in their ham mocks, the ship struck with a violent shock. The bulk of tho men on board were young soldiers. Tho rush of water on the Birkenhead striking wus so great that most of the soldiers on the lower troop dock were drowned In their hnmmocks. The re mainder, with all the officers, appeared on deck, many, only partly dreBsed, and fell in as orderly and as quietly as on tho barrack square. Calling the officers round Mm, Lieutenant Colonel Seton of the Seventy-fourth Highlanders, the senior officer on board, Impressed on them the necessity for preserving or der and silence among the men. The services of the next senior, Captain Wright, Ninety-first hlghlandors, were placed at the disposal of the command er of the ship to carry out whatever orders be might consider essential. Sixty men were put on the chain pumps ou the lower after deck and tolfl orr In three reliefs. Sixty more were put on to tbo tackles of the pad dle box boats, and the remainder were brought on to the poop to ease the fore part of the ship, as she was roll ing heavily. The commander next or dered the officers' chargers to be pitch ed out of the gangway. The plunging and terrified horses were got up and cast over, five of them managing to swim ashore. The cutter was then got ready for the womeni and children, who bad been collected under tbe poop awning, and they were passed in one by one. There being room in tbe boat for ono or two more, the order was given for any trumpeter or bugler boys to l taken. A young drummer standing near was told by an officer to get Into the boat, but, drawing him self up, exclaimed that he drew man's pay and would stick by his comrades. The cutter then shoved off in charge of one of tbe ship's officers, and the women and children were safe. No sootier was she clear than the entire bow of the vessel broke off at tbo foremast, the bowsprit going up in the air toward tho foretopmast. The funnel also went over the side, carry ing away tbe starboard paddle box and boat and crushing tbe men on the tackles. The paddle box boat capsized on being lowered, and the large boat in tho center of the ship could not be got up. Tho men were then ordered on to tho poop, where they stood calmly awaiting their fate. Within a few minutes the vessel broke la two, cross wise, just abaft the engine room, and tho stern begnn rapidly to fill. In this extremity the commander called out, "Those who can swim jump overboard and make for tbe boats!" but the of ficers begged the soldiers not to, as the boat with the women and children would be swamped. They were young men in the prime of life, with all be fore them, yet no one moved, nor did any sign of terror or fear escape them. Lower and lower sank the vessel Into the deadly sea. The old transport shivered, gave a final plunge and dis appeared, carrying with her the band of heroes on deck and those working below at tho pumps. Men of all agos and ranks they were the colonel and the drummer boy, of ficers of gentle birth and men from the workshop, the plow and the mine, but all animated with the same herolo resolution, fortitude and chivalry as cool as though they had been on their parade ground, with as much courage as in action in the field. A few man aged to cling to the rigging of the mainmast, part of which remained out of water, while others got hold of float ing pieces of wood and were eventually rescued, but of fourteen "(fleers and 4.VJ men no fewer than nine officers and 319 inon perished, many falling prey to the uttacks of the slmrks, which Burro-nxled the ship In shoals, wnltlug for th.'ir Victims. Every wo man and child was saved. Perhaps t he greatest compliment ever paid to the memory of the brave was the order of the king of Prussia for the account of the wreck of the Birken head to bo rend on three successive parados at the bead of every regiment in his army, and It was spoken of In every school la Trussla and Germany. -London Globe.

GUMPTION ON THE FARM Praise your wife when she gets you an extra good dinner, and you will get many more of them. Better cut herd's-grass before it blossoms than to let it stand until it becomes hard. If it has begun to ripen seed it 'will make poor fodder for any creature. Have the hay ropes, pulleys and all such things good and solid before you begin to take off a load. Stand out of the line of all pulleys when a fork ful is being taken off. Eight acres of good, heavy corn ought to fill a-hundred-ton silo. This ought to be grown and put into the silo for a cost of not more than $200, or $2 per ton for the silage. rrog-r arming as An industry is the title of an interesting and instruc tive article in the May issue of the Technical World iMagazine, published in Chicago. The author is W. E. Meehan, Commissioner of Fisheries for the State of Pennsylvania. One' of the most important depart ments of the farm is too often for gotten in the stress of business, and that is the woodlot. If you have one, see to it that the young trees are pro tected from the vandal axe man and the depredations of stock. A well conserved woodlot grows steadily into money while we sleep. When you are mopping your face in the harvest sun, consider the good wife in the super-heated kitchen bend ing over a hot stove in the prepara tion of .food, and ask yourself if you have provided her with satisfactory help. Full barns will bring one little satisfaction if the wife is broken down at the end of the harvest. A neighbor of ours who reads the Farm Journal asks us to tell Our Folks how he prevented his hay molding in the bottom of an eighteen-1 foot mow. Before placing any hay in the mow, he took some inch boards, six inches 'wide, making boxes with three sides. He laid these boxes in strings across the mow floor, upside down, similar to an old-fashioned wooden drain. Then he filled the mow full of hay to the roof, and when he removed it from the mow this spring not a straw of it was moldy. Other seasons he had much hay dam aged in this mow from lack of ventila tion. He tells me that an uncle of his also pursued this course in his large barn mows which were tightly floored with concrete, and fwas able to use .his hay out to the last straw. Just a little ventilation seems to go great way in saving hay in large barn mows. Farm Journal. FINANCIAL J. Q. A- BOWLBY, President O. I. PETERSON, Vice-President FRANK PATTON, Casbler J. W.

The steamer Charles R. Spencer came down on schedule time yester day with 36 passengers for Astoria. Speaking of his arrest in Portland, along with Captain McCully of the Lurline, on. Thursday last, for ex ceeding the speed-limit in the Wil lamette river, Captain Spencer is concerned over only one feature of the case and that is that the port offi cers who were watching his steamer and the Lurline for this delinquency, failed to see the Bailey Gatzert, which was leading them both on the run. Portland's poor, restricted, tender little harbor -cannot stand many steamers of any kind, and no steamer speed whatever. It's too bad, for it is a pretty little estuary for boating!. When the Ronoke stopped at the Callender pier in the early hours of yesterday morning the first thing she did was to throw a heavying line through the office window and as she went out she took a fender pile along with her; much to the disgust of Mr. Crosby, the wharfinger, but it will probably be safe for her to come back. She had a big passenger list and lots of freight for her three ports of call. The tug Geo. R. Vosburg arrived in from Nehalem yesterday morning, having in tow the barge of the same name (Nehalem) recently built by the Wheeler Lumber Company for sea despatch. This trip the barge was loaded with 10,000 feet of lumber, and 150,000 feet of spruce saw logs, which will be reduced by the mills at St. Johns. The initial venture was quite a success. The bar tug Wallula took the schooner James A. Garfield to an an chorage off Brookfield yesterday morning, and the first O. R. N. steamer down, will take her on to Portland- The steamer Yosemite departed from Knappton yesterday afternoon, for the open sea and San Francisco, with an immense cargo of Oregon and Washington lumber. The Wallula will probably go to Portland early next week for a gen eral overhauling, and the Tatoosh will take her place on the bar. The steamship Rose City is due down at 3 o'clock this afternoon, for San Francisco and will leave the O. R. N. docks at 4, if all goes right. The steamer Sue H. Elmore went to sea on the early flood yesterday morning, bound for Tillamook City and bay points. The steamer Homer was an arrival from Portland yesterday morning and her departure was but little later. IS THERE COAL UND ER ASTORIA? and New Business Venture. Mr. E. G.

A prominent and interested citizen came to this office yesterday morning and deposited a piece of good lignite coal on the editor's desk. The editor was glad to see both the man and the coal, because he knew the man would not have brought the coal along if there were not a story connected with it. Said this good citizen, in response to the mute appeal in the editorial eye: "This is a sample of coal just found, in the cut on Irving avenue, by Con tractor E. A. Gerding. It is not enough to fire a steamboat, but it is an indication of what may be beyond, and below it or in lands adjacent thereto. "I hope the Clatsop Fuel Company may be encouraged, by this find, to prosecute its explorations at an early day and feel that it will be amply repaid, either in natural gas, oil or coal as good as this; for the finding of any of these things, would give an impetus, to Astoria and her industries, greater than many of us imagine." The "pay streak" has not been fol lowed up that anyone knows of; the development may be merely a far out cropping of the true vein; so far as it has gone it is but a momentary showing, with a hint of possibilities behind it; yet, that it was found in heretofore undisturbed earth, and bears the record of good lignite on its black and rugged face, may be a hint to the wiser of us, to get in and search out the exact conditions attaching to the disovery. If there is a lead in this to paying veins of coal, then it were idiotic to sleep on it, and over it, for another hundred years. LUMBER SUPPLY To supply California, the southern half of which has been badly denuded of its original forestration, with an abundance of timber; to aid in the in crease of rainfall over a dry area which is destined in the near future y be called on to support an immense population; to supply more than 12,- 000,000 ties yearly to the railroads of the United States, and, last, but not least, to furnish a perpetual bee pastu rage for hunderds of apiaries these, all these, are the things which are beginning to be written in the history of one tree in southern California. That tree is the eucalyptus, of many species ,and the lumber from which has but lately been discovered to possess qualifications for use in cer tain industries possessed by no other tree, wild or dometic, known to man. As a mere beginning of this plan the Santa Fe Railway company has bought 10,000 acres of land in San Diego county, California, and is plant ing it as fast as possible to young eucalyptus trees six or eight inches tall. Several hundred acres of this vast tract have been set out already, and fully ninety-five per cent, of the trees have taken hold In good shape and shown signs of growth. One of the most interesting things about the Eucalyptus is its varities, of which there are at least ISO good species, with probably a third as many sub-species which are not com monly listed in the catalogues. They grow to be of great size; in Australia individuals of some varie ties have been known to attain a heigth of 300 feet. In California, where trees were planted about some of, the old haciendas forty years ago, they are still growing and their ulti mate size is entirely problematical. Superintendent Clark of the Astoria Schools yesterday completed the com pilation of a list of books for use in the public schools. They are for the school libraries and of course are not text books, but are of a general nature, The order for the books, numbering several hundred, will be sent to the State library board, which forwards' the order on to the company from which the ..purchases are made. The new list will be here in rime for the opening of the school year, it is expected, and it will be worth the while of the school children and teachers to read the list below to see what an cxcclcitt lot of new reading matter they will have to select from next year.

Several years ago Mr, Oman held the position of superintendent, and at the expiration of his term his accounts were in such shape that they showed a credit to the county of gome sixty or seventy dollars, It is not believed that there was the slightest intention of crimin ality or wrongdoing on the part of Mr,. Oman, and he explained the seeming shortage in this manner that while he had actually made ex penditures amounting to between $60 and $70, that he did not have the vouchers to show that the expendi tures bad been made, But without the receipts the county court could not recognize the expenditures as valid ones, and therefore no settle ment of the matter was ever made.

Rarkk, several business and professional men are occupying the pulpit of the First Methodist Episcopal church. Tomorrow morning J. II, Petersen will talk on the sub ject of "Believing and Obeying," and in the evening J. M, Anderson will talk on the subject of young men who succeed in life and business. Delightful Social The Ladies' Aid Society of the Memorial Lutheran Church, gave a delightful social at the home of Mr. Matt Nyland, on Fourteenth street Thursday evening. Addresses were delivered by T. A. Hemplc, the young attorney who is in the city from Chi cago, and the Rev. P. J. O'Connell of Hraddock, Pa. A splendid musical program was rendered: Piano solos by Miss Brix of Portland and Miss Stenscn of this city; vocal solos by Mr. Smith, little Miss Nora Wiliet, and a vocal solo duet by the Rev. Rydquist and Mrs. Rydquist, were a pleasing feature of the evening's en tcrtainmcnt.

Mr. Gilbert says that it was very warm on some of the days that he was in the cast, and the day before his arrival in Chicago there were nineteen prostrations from the heat there. The hard times, too, are far more noticable in the eastern states than here, Mr. Gilbert says. Many vacant houses may be seen in the cities and thousands of men are without employment. Electric Light Pole The electric light pole that stands directly in front of the court house steps has been an eye-sore to many ever since the structure was complet ed. The county court, with Judge Trenchard as the one who took the matter most to heart, decided that something should be done to have the unsightly pole removed and ap pealed to the electric light company for some action. Yesterday Judge Trenchard said the company had not even answered his last communica tion to them on the matter, and it seems apparent that the pole will be left standing unless some action can be taken to compel its removal.. The whole matter has been referred to the district attorney, and the county court is hoping that he will get it down if he has to ta,ke a little hatchet and go to work on it. If the pole were placed a little to either side of the steps it would not be so objec tionable in the aesthetic eyes of the county court and community. ri. j..)... ....in.-uMw. 1 For a VICTOR OR AN EDISON PHONOGRAPH goto Johnson Phonograph Go.

"It'e a pretty story," said Delia, "but not as nice as the one about the little wooden shoes, Is It, Joe?' "Tee," disagreed Joe, "better. The wooden shoe one chops off in the mid dle and doesn't end." "But it might end some time, mightn't It, frauleln?- Delia question ed earnestly.

"I wish I had been the girl to go paddling barefoot in the rushes in the edge of the lake." Delia looked with discontented eyes upon the fine kid that held in her rebellious toes. "What do yon think became of the shoe that floated away, frauleln?' "Ah, who could say thatr "Well, I wish 1 could see a wooden ahoe I never did," Delia mourned, with a dismally defrauded expression that turned f rauleln's heart to wax.

"Mommy won't care. How did yon get the shoe, frauleln "Ask me not some questions and 1 tell you not some fips," said frauleln, laughing and springing suddenly up. "I must now absent me." Going down the granite walk of the Stanhope grounds, Frauleln Wllma passed Miss Aa relia's new mu sic teacher in the shadow of the winged grif fin that snarled above the gate way. He was large, the pro fessor, and rud dy cheeked; hl3 hair, the color of a fresh pine shaving, hung straight to his ears and then curled under; his eyes shone amiably down under big round glasses.

The good frau was still searching for tin drenched corners and Wilma busy fry ing big round apple butter doughnuts when the young Stanhopes raced n the freshly reddened brick walk edged with blue flag clumps and a fringe of lad's love. A dark presage of tracks, together with Wllma's desertion of the dough nuts to show the children the wooden shoe. set Lena buzzing like a red wasp. When the fat little sabot, with Its odd, curved toe and wide, flat heel, had been returned to the inner circle of Wllma's trunk and Joe and Del la were hover ing dangerously close to the pink knots of the sa c r e d oleander.

Better the smell of dew wet eartft than that of boiling lard; more congenial a crisp morning walk be tween strips of spangled grass than the monotonous forming of knobby fried cakes and the tireless refrain of Lena's pungent tongue. The children skipped happily beside their little plump governess along the sleepy bystreet which ran suddenly out into the wide avenue where rose the griffin guarded gate. From the opposite side came Professor lost beaming rosily, his Bieek. pine shaving bued hair gleaming with the vigor of ts recent brushing. "Guten morgen." he greeted r.s the four reached the shadow of the griffin. "Guten morgen," fraulein responded sedately, retreating gently. "Guteby. schildren. I must absent me."

William McLarty, living at 16th and Washington streets, Oregon City, Ore., says: "I had persistent back ache and pain through the loins that seemed to never let up. At night I could not find a comfortable position or get any restful sleep on account of the continual aching and as a result, I lost energy. I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills curing others of similar troubles and I procured a box. By the time I had used half of one box, there was so much improvement that it seemed almost unnecessary to take any more, but I finished the box to make sure of a permanent cure."
