WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 7.-It ii beginning to be realized that the Canadian Pacific it prepared for a strike struggle with the mechanic which will last tome time. The company t locomotive! and rolling stock are at present in excellent con dition, the dry summer having caused little wear. Besides 300 Japanese me chanics trained in (the railroad shops of the Pacific Coast states and in technical schools are arriving and are being distributed where necessary. Sleeping and dining carl have been drawn up close to the shops to pro vide accommodations for the non union workmen, guarded by special constables. Fifteen shop firemen or gang bosses walked out here last ev ening, declining to work with the im ported men. Only one declined to come out. No violence or disorder has been reported from any of the company's shops in Western Canada. Mass meetings continue to be held by the men and the pickets arc con tinuing to keep close watch at the shops and all incoming trains. Newcomers are employed in almost all departments and are divided into ahifts which work night and day. All ocomotives receive inspection and Xjidcrgo repairs before leaving the roundhouse and coaches are iced and taken care of by the men who are taking the places of the strikers. It is not expected the strike will interfere in any way with the hand ling of the western crops, even thUgh it should last until wheat mov inu commences.

The Canadian Pacific telegraphers are seriously preparing for a strike within a fortnight. The arbitration award will be fowarded to Ottawa next week and the men do not expect to be satisfied with it. At Calgary the Canadian Pacific Railway had 21 Japanese at work in the roundhouse yesterday. At Kamloops last night a conductor of a westbound freight train declined to a take out a train until he had a written order authorizing him to do so, without official inspection by car repairer?. He was given the order. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Chairman Mack of the Democratic National Committer was notified tonight that no reduced railroad rates would be put into effect for Bryan notification meeting at Lincoln, August 12th, Chairman McLcod of the Western Passenger Association explained that no reduced rates had been placed into effect in Nebraska since the passage of the two-cent fare law in that state. He also emphasized the fact that the rates for the Taft notification were put Into effect by the Central Pas senger Association. Mack also de clares that the action of the railroads Is simply a discrimination against the party. He added that he desired to call the railroad's attention to the fact that there wis tlso two-cent rate in Ohio, but that this fact did not prevent the reduced rate to the Taft notification, DOVER DENIES THE REPORT That He Has Resigned Po sition as Secretary DECLINES TO DISCUSS BASEBALL GAMES.

What His Future Plans Are- Hitchcock Does Not Credit the Report ANNOUNCEMENT A SURPRISE Chairman Hitchcock Has Little to Say About Matters Taken up With President Roosevelt at Their Re cent Conference. McFARLAND GETS DECISION. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-White ship pcrs organizations in many parts of the United States are fighting the railroads tooth and nail in an effort to secure reductions in freight rates or to prevent the putting into effect f proposed increases, thousands of railway employes, fearing that their wages may be reduced to increase their revenues are planning a vast campaign in the interests of their cm plovers. Definite ways and means have not yet been decided upon, but the genera scope of the plan includes an exten sive campaign of. education to show that the interests of the public demand that the roads be allowed to increase their earnings. It is also proposed to present the side of the case befcre the interstate commerce commission and before the stat,c railroad commissions whenever an opportunity presents it self. I he lead in the movement is being taken by the recently organized Nebraska state railway employes pro tective association and by the Ameri can protective association of America, with headquarters at Kansas City, which is now being organized and which already includes members from 13 western states. Members of the Chicago division of the order of rail way conductors have already taken active steps in the matter and repre sentntives of the other railway bro therhoods are taking an interest in the movement, although it has not yet been taken up by any of the latter or ganizations. The men point out that the expenses of the railroads have been enormously increased during late years, while freight rates have been gradually reduced and that matters have now come to the point where an increase in revenue is imperative if AUCKLAND, Aug. 7.-A wireless from the Atlantic squadron this morning, said that the gale had blown the railroads are to continue to main itself out, and fine weather prevails, 'tain their property, 'n first class con and that the fleet would arrive addition and make needed extensions Uickland tomorrow (Sunday), morn-'and improvements while maintaining WS- the present scale of wages. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-In an article printed this afternoon the Daily News says they learned from a reliable source that Secretary Dover of the Republican National Committee has resigned the position. Fred W. Up- ham, treasurer of the committee ex pressed surprise at the announce ment. He said he saw Dover and Hitchcock, in New York a week or so ago there was no hint of such an action on Dover's part. "If there ever was any real feeling between the chairman of committee and its sec retary, I am sure it no longer exists. All was certainly serene between them when I was east." NEW YORK, Aug. 7. -When Chairman Hitchcock returned from his visit to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, he had little to say about the 'matters taken up. He said the! presidenfhad shown great interest in I the plan of the general campaign and that the state situation had been con sidered. He would not commit him- selm as to whether Roosevelt is for or against Governor Hughes. Great interest is show here in a printed story, printed in Chicago today that Secretary Dover had resigned his po sition. Rover arrived in New York accompanied by Mrs. Dover, who is about to sail for Europe. A Chicago dispatch was shown to him and he denied that he had resigned and also Brock is an Easy Victim But Is Game to the End. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7.-Packy McFarland won from Phil Brock in the seventh round tonight, no knock put,) The referee stopped the fight and gave it to McFarland when Brock was in the last stages of distress after having been beaten through the ropes and chased around the ring; with a rain of blows upon his bleeding face. Brock carried the fight to McFarland from the first and fought gamely to the last.

This interesting document has been forwarded to Mexico and there translated.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Sensational information was obtained today in the murder case of Tuffa Shashem, which the officers have learned is the correct name of the victim in the lake murder case. Two boys testified to Inspector Dorman, that young Shas hem on Sunday last, the day of his disappearance, entered the home of Hassin Nemmer, one of the men un der arrest in connection with the case. The boys waited half an hour for their companion, but finally got discouraged and left. That was the last they saw of him until his body was .rought piecemeal into the morgue. Nemmer is 60 years old, hardy in appearance, and makes his living peddling notions. In connec tion with the case the police have re directed their attentions to the mur der a year ago of Hearty Kurpa, the 10 old boy who lived in South Chi cago, when Nemmer also lived there. The boy had been mistreated and suddenly disappeared and some weeks later the boy was found in the Calu met rtver swamp. John Pazer, 18 years old, told Inspector Dorman that he had been enticed, to Nemmer's room but had escaped after a struggle. I In. the Preliminary Examination of Aba Reuf. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-As-sistant Attorney Heney was placed on the stand today in the preliminary ex amination of Abe Ruef as expert on attorney's fees and was interrogated by Reuf counsel regarding the alleged receipt by Heney of a $30,000 fee from the Contra Costa Water Company. This was done ostensibly to offset the theory advanced by the pro?cp,ti?.n that the fee of $30,000 by Reuf in the Parkside trolley franchise case was too large for such legal services, Hen declined to answer the ques tion and declared the sole purpose of putting him on the stand and ques tioning him was to affect the coming primary election. Judge Cabiness sustained Heney and excused him un til Wednesday, the day after the primaries. .EAGLES TO SEATTLE.

However the telephone situation eventuates, under the present ar rangements, Astoria is certain to get excellent service, or services, in the near future, and there is lots of com fort available in the thought. What may arise by way of confusion in a uouoic service win uc, jjiuiiuiii, uui own fault in providing for two equip ments, and if our businesses are live ly enough to warrant the mainten ance of two 'phones so much the bet ter. At all events we are to have instant and convenient utilities in this line and that is a great deal, when what we have had is measured against what is to come. The development of the telephone issue, in this city, is an object lesson to the people in warding the inconsid erateness of public franchise-holders and forcing them to yield all that is paid for by the general public. Con certed and popular action, based up on righteous reasons, will bring any "corporation to terms instanter and remedy evils too long borne by the public. It is poor policy, this stupid patience that palliates, and waits and refuses to act; it not only gives color and substance to the defects and dere lictions of the public service com panies, bvt yields tacit license to them and fosters them as accepted and proper courses. When the public utilities are diminished or hap-hazard-ly served and this is known and proven by men of substance, then is the time to act and act unitedly and never fall back for an instant until the whole thing is straightened out. 'Astoria has reason to congratulate1 herself on the course she has pursued and the abundant re'sponse that is to be made. The victory was hers at any time in the past three or four years, had she gone after it. WATER ROUTES AND RATES. The report of the Interstate Com merce Commission, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, shows that the railways increased their passenger revenue $54,573,760, over the preced ing fiscal year; their revenue from the mails, $3,007,511; their revenue from express companies $6,332,001; their net earnings from other sources $51,701,868, and with their net earn ings per mile of road operated rising from $3189, in 1905, to $3348 in 1907, and to $3686 during the fiscal year e'nding June 30, 1908, and, finally when it is considered that the official figures show an allotment of $449, 461,188 as available for surplus, the plea of President Ripley that "freight rates must go up because the rail ways need the money" becomes a plea bordering on the ridiculous, and so does the threat of Vice-President! Brown. It is beyond the plane of the ridicu lous; it is a phase of arrogance at once unmatched in commercial his tory and stinging insolence to he intelligence of the country. To thej man who will think it out it is a, moving cause for abandoning every j friendly concern he ever had for the railroads, and a solid predicate for( lending his personal influence to everything that shall reduce .their j dominance and circumscribe their outrageous greed. He is a fool who undervalues the railway as a commercial factor or who thinks they could be dispensed j with, or supplanted by any system of j transportation whatever, for they have done more to carry, and compel, j the range and power of civilization) than any practical agency in the', world. But even so great a prestige does not provide them with the al mighty faculties they are assuming in this land. They are making the blun der of history, themselves. They have THE J. S.

There is an absurd tinge to the whole business, which we hope, will be wrought into something far more substantial before many years have passed. The keynote of change and final adjustment lies in the popular adop tion of the waterway, and the relief that dwells in the water-rate. Every rivr, lake and sea within touch of the country's traffic should be utilized to its last facility, in checl.ing ard minimizing the unparralleled rapa city of the roads. There is not better point in all America for such a demonstration a exists tight here at. Astoria, with a magnificent river at her doors and the wide free sea inviting the attempt. So far as we are concerned we shall hail the day with infinite satisfaction when every pound and ton of stuff, in and out of here, shall be shipped and landed to, and from, from the deck of a ship or steamer. By the time such a day dawns, the railroads will have learned something of what is due the people, their patrons and their best friends. HOLDING HER OWN. It does us good when a man like Marshal Kinney, of Portland, comes down here and tells us we are holding our own cleverly and are in as good shape as any city in the upper coun try (or better). It is cheering and comforting and adds tang and tone to the spirit of the hour. We are .quite conscious of the precision of his de ductions, because they are apparent to others beside Mr. Kinney; we are not mindful of the facts ourselves and the same word is left us by other good friends from abroad. There is a cheer here, an absence of all sloth, inertia; everybody on the streets looks to have a purpose in life and not too much time to carry it out; we have no beggars, mighty few loafers, and the Northwest minimum of dependent poor; our mills are all running, and the biggest of them day and night 'the only mill in the coast country running double shifts); we are in the midst of the best fishing season we have had for years; and while there might he a few more tourists in the coast and mountain regions, we have enough of them to emphasize our in comparable summer and compensate those who are entertaining them.

SUCH A SIMPLE INSTRUMENT But Somehow or Anothtr tho ex planation Only Muddltd the Man Who Wanted to Ltarn and Who Dt eldtd to Tacklo an Aeoordion. The band was plnylug loudly In the Trlukfestbiergarten and the little bald headed man had his eyes fastened Inter estedly ou the trombone player. When the players stopped to recuperate he beckoned the man. who works the loos horn over to his table and ordered two glasses of schoenesbraue. "My name is Itittsrs. said the man whose hair was absent. "One of my lungs Is trying to quit work, and the doctor advises me to break up Its shift less habits by blowing a brass. The careless way you yank that pump horn looks good, and I want you to put me on." "What do you want to knowT asked the musician. "Just a hint about how you handle that wind machine so nonchalantly." "The trombone Is very simple." re piled the tnuslker, wiping' his Hps, which curled In thick, Ted volutese. "The slide is divided Into seven shifts, or positions, about three Inches apart. "Starting with the lowest note In the first position the slide closed you got B flat Push out the tube's and you bit successively A. A flut O. F sharp. F and E." "That's only seven notes." objected Biggs- "Yes. Getting the rest depends on how yon pucker your lips. In the first position you can make, figuring up ward. H flat. F. It Oat, D, F, B flat and C. in the second you obtain A, E. A. C sharp. E. O and A. The third giver, you A flat. E Cat. A flat. C, E flat ami A flat. It works out the same all the way down. "There are higher notes that I didn't mention, but you won't want to mon key with them. But a good player has a compass of more than three octaves." Biggs looked troubled. "Let me see," he said. "You start In the first position with B flat" "Yes." replied the. other-"that Is. provided you are playing In the bass clef. In the treble clef the first posi tion is C." "What."' exclaimed Biggs. "Ifs one note one time and another another?" "In the treble clef," explulned the musician, "the tronibono Is a B fiat horn. In the bass clef It Is a C horn." Biggs mopped his brow. "Say that again, will your he ap pealed. "Don't you see?" came the answer. "When the first position is C Its a B flat horn. When the same shift Is B flat It's a C horn." Biggs unbuttoned his coat. "You may call this thing simple." he said, "bnt If it Is I'll give myself up at the nearest asylum. You are talking antonyms." The musician grinned. "We'll take one thing at a time," he said. "In getting at what a B flat horn is let's consider a cornet" "Let's, if It's simpler," said Biggs hopefully. "It's because It's always a B flat horn," replied the other. Then he add ed, "Except when It's an A horn." Biggs gave a sickly smile. "The lowest note on a cornet when open when no keys are pressed down Is really B flat," said the bandmnn. "But It Is called C." "That doesn't make It C," said Biggs. "For all practical purposes It does," was the reply. "There Is a reason for doing this, but It's complicated and at present I'm keeping to simple facts." "Yes, Indeed," murmured Biggs. "In an orchestra, for Instance, when the first violins are playing In C nat ural the cornetlst's score Is two semi tones higher and Is thus written In D or two sharps. When the violins are playing In D the cornet player Is toot ing In E or four sharps. But If things kept on this way the cornetlst would soon be lost In a confusion of sharps and double sharps, so be slips an A crook on his Instrument. That raises the signature three semitones. When the fiddles play In A or three sharps the cornetlst Is blowing along the easy path of C natural." "Look here," said Biggs, "if my wife is playing 'Under, the Pink Lilac Bush on the piano, couldn't I play with her from the song score?" "Not unless you can mentally trans pose as you go along." said the mu sician. "The system looks queer at first, but It's logical. Its purpose Is to bring the same music within the nat ural compass of all the Instruments of a band or an orchestra. But If you are going to play the trombone you won't have to bother your head about any of this, as trombone music is now adays always written In the bass clef." "Then what have you been talking about It for and mixing me. up?" shouted Biggs, Jumping up. "What are you getting mad about?" asked the trombonist. "I'm not mad." replied Biggs.

The Hotel Breeze bad solved the acrvant problem by employing college atudenta an waiter. It had become fasulonnblo to take an Interest In these truggllng aaplrants for learning, and DoUlo Dairy waa nothing if not faun ionnble. Even though It threatened break with Taul Vinton whom ahe expected to marry aomo day she lu lated on baring her student to be in rested in. Hie bad picked out Brady as the favored one for tho reason that he Boomed the moat forlorn and desolate one in the lot. There waa aomethlng almost pathetic to her In the idea of this man who maltreated tho English language so brutally seeking a higher education, and alio found hla person ality interesting and at times amus ing. There wore other times when tho man bored her sadly, but she would not confess that she found him tire some lest I'aul should think the vic tory lay with him. Every evening when the tables bod been cleared and the dining room put In ordor Brady would Blip down to tho beach and walk or sit with Dollte, while Vinton sat on the puma and vowed that he would leave the place for some better resort whore the wait ers were not the fad of tile moment. I He never went, for on second thoughts Ho told himself It would be better to stay on and look after Dollio. line roiwt tire of her fad presently, and perhaps on the rebound he might In duce her to say the coveted "Yes." Dismally Vinton realized that the waiting game was bound to be a long one, and chancing upon Dollio wait ing on the annds for her waiter prote ge Paul was moved to reopen his ar gument. Following an unusually hot day the humidity of an approaching storm de prived tho sufferers of the roltef of the night breezes Ddllle was tired nnd Irritable and in no frame of mind for an argument. Both raised their voices slightly above the pitch of good breeding, and Brady, coming upon them suddenly, gathered that there ind been a dispute. "Has tbts guy been unbuttonln his Hp?" he demanded of Dollie., Perhaps It was the heat, perhaps it was the memory of somo of the things that Vinton had snld. At any rate, thore wan a barely perceptible pause before Dollie languidly responded: "He boa been venr ajiniwliur. I am Kind you have come," nbo safd. Brady picked up a pebble and'toMxed It down the beach. "Go after It," be urged. ain't wanted here, Bo.. Notify your feet to get busy with your mIioob nnd pedal hard." "1 presume you are trying to urgn tut' to go away," suggested Vinton cold. "Vou've got a tine presumer," com mended Brady. "Gear It up a little mgiior. it's runnln' too slow," "1 am grateful for your advice," nlil Vinton with sarcasm that appeared to bo lost upon the other, "but It is not my Intention to take myself off until Mia Darcy aiguilles to me that my presence here Is unwelcome," "You heard her any that you made her tired," reminded Brady. "Be nice little boy, Bo, and go play In the nott yard, There's a line cellar door thore. Go slide down it" Vinton looked Inquiringly at Dollie, but she made no algn. Brady was dis playing a new phase of hla many aided character and she found It rather In terestlng. Vinton, too, puzzled her and she wanted to see what be would do. 8he had not long to wait, for, with a filial appeal to take a walk before his feet hurt blm and he couldn't, Brady advanced toward bla antagonist. Bhort and sharp was the encounter. Brady atruck flint, and Vinton, nothing loath, responded, la bulb men the primal Instinct was aroused, and they fought for the favor of a woman a men In tho stone age, fought. For tho moment Vinton forgot Dol- lie a preseoi p. forgot everything except hla desire to avenge the blow, Brady bad slipped off bis glasses at the first sign of trouble and be wns somewhat at a disadvantage, but for all of that ho bad the best of the fight, though Vinton had taken boxing lea- sons from an old champion and was accounted more than ordinarily skill nil at the game, They were on a atrip of the beach little frequented In the evening and the encounter attracted no attention. In live minute Vinton was down and out and 1 ol lie was kneeling beside him In the sand necking to restore him to consciousness. He opened bis eyes presently and smiled into Dolllo'a Bul lous face. "It's all right," be said weakly "That little college student of yours has the skill of a professional prize tighter." "Sure!" assented Brady.

"I hope he won't beat the llttlo dame," be said musingly. "He sure can hit even if he can't lick me." And the maneater never realized that with Cupid as referee Paul was the winner after all. A Vivid Description. A shortsighted and deaf old gentle man who was at an entertainment where a professqr performed on a big bnss viol thus described the scene: "The professor carried ,ou to the plat from a gigantic beetle attached to the end of a sort of lamppost. He leaned over and fondly embraced It. tickling its back violently with a long comb. "The spectators seemed much de lighted ut this display of scleutlflc af fection. The beetle was apparently quite u u moved. Then the professor gave a capital Imitation of tho drunken man and the lamppost. He swayed rapidly up and dowu. clutching quick ly at all points. "Sometimes his fingers quivered pas sionately upon one spot, like nn ill tempered man struggling with an ob stinate pair of braces Sometimes he rested momentarily, as one rests after n contest with a stiff white tie. "Finally he gave a last convulsive tickle to the huge beetle, picked him self up from the lamppost nnd carried pit tho unresisting insect. The au dience applauded vigorously." Settled Through The1 Settlement. By LULU JOHNSON. CojiyrlijIiUd, 190), by Associated Literary Press. No one watching the Hue of girls thread Its way through the aisles of tho museum would hare Imagined that the serious faced young woman, who acted as guide was the rich Miss Moultalre. Indeed, Judging from the brilliancy of appearance, the other girls looked far more the social star than did tho lady of millions In bur severely tailored dress and quiet hat To Brookfleld, wandering among the antiques on the lower floor, Irma Moul talre looked a teacher conducting her fashionable charge on one of their prescribed educational tour. To blm the finery of the girls was real and the coHtly tailored gown of tbolr self appointed guide a simple and unpre tentious garment Ho could not realize that the elegant perfection of cut and cioth was the envy of every girl In the settlement das. The, girls would have laughed aloud in their glee could they have read In Brookfleld' thoughts the pity that he felt for their beloved leader. Thl was tho regular Saturday out ing of tho Bettlement club, and Irma took great delight in piloting the girl to the museums and galleries, when she hoped real work of art In time would give them a truer sense of ar tistic values. Every week she planned something for tho girls, wlmllug up with a little lunch at her home. For the sake of the luncheon the girls endured thp art lectures. So both they audi Irma were happy. They passed before a cose contain ing an Aztec collection. The labels were on tho opposite side of the cam, where Brookfleld. who did not require labels, whs standing. Antiquities were "THEN I SHALL HATB TO TKLL YOU HKKS," Hli SAID HKSOLCTKLY. not Irma Moultulre's forte, and when ahe innocently ascribed the collection to the Egyptian section Brooktleld in tcrrupted with a correction. Miss Moultalre, seeing that enthusi asm and not a deslro to open a fltrta tlon with her charges waa bis motlre, courteously acknowledged the correc tlon, and Brookfleld, mounting bis hobby, rode it bard and fast lie had the trick of interesting bis henrcrs, and Miss Moultalre, finding that tho girls really were absorbed in his little lecture, thankfully retreated into the background. She, too. found tho chat interesting and was very sorry when the last case was reached and they found them selves at the foot of the stairway lend lng to the art galleries, 1 "Here Is where I shall prove use less," he said to Irma, with a smile. "I thank you very much for letting me run on us you nave. 1 love the collection. I was one of the explora tlon party that dug it up." "We should-nnd do tnank you," dls claimed Irma. "I am sorry that our schedule does not permit us more time I should bo glad to bear the rest." "Why not?" be suggested. "I am here almost every afternoon." Irma shook her head smilingly as the nine puny went up cue stairs, leav ing Brookfleld looking after them, but a couple of weeks later she found her self lu tho vicinity of the museum and with a llttlo spare time on her hands In the Intervals of her social duties. Brookfleld was leanlug over one of the cases which an attendant hud open ed for him, but at Irma's appronch,he closed the case and hurried toward hi'i 'You did find toe to come!'! In crUM.

Almost l fore she realized it tb closing tin had come, and she haJ spent two hours In his company. She bad sent away her carriage, intending to walk home from the museum, so she permitted bitn to walk beside her. From taking an Interest In Brook field's fad she was beginning to take an interest in Tom Brooktleld himself. She found him well worth her Inter est by comparison with the idle men of her own set Irma admired action, and though Brookfleld bad only just passed thirty be bad been a workei for half but lifetime. He bad not become a monomaniac on bis bobby, but he was a good gen eral talker, and, though they met only at the Settlement bouse or In the mu seum, a real friendship soon sprang up between them. Irma had a feeling tba! to invite him to her homo would spoil It all, and bla dense Ignorance of the fashionable and affluent Miss Mou! taire wns not lifted. He believed her to be a teacher lu a fashionable school who gave u part ot her time to settlement work, and tbej met on a plane of equality which vat refreshing to the woman after the for tune hunting she bad so often to en dure. One afternoon late' in the sprint Brookfleld came to meet the class nn., escort them to a private view of a col lege collection. They bad acquired some of bis enthusiasm, nnd be had obtained private views of many col lections for them. Today be came, with a beaming face, and all the afteruoon his high spirits were apparent. He never shared the little luncheons which wound up thr expeditions, but today he detained Miss Moultalre for a moment "There is something I would like tc say," be pleaded. "May I walk home with yoq. or do jou have to go wltb the girls?" "I cannot ery well leave them," she explained. "Then I shall have to toll you here." he said resolutely. "I can't keep It any longer. I am to be curator of tut' Cheeswick collection in the fall and at a salary enough for two. Will you share it?" Only for a minute did Miss Moultaire hesitate; then she placed her bnnd In his. "I will share It," ahe promised, with a radiant smile. "Come this evening, and we will talk it over." She handed bim her card with its engraved address and hurried after the girls, while Brookfleld beamed upon ber from 'the top step. But the beam had faded from Brook field's face when Miss Moultalre came toward him in her reception room that evening. Instead of clasping her In his arms he held her hand an Instant and then waited for her to be seated "You must think me a presumptuous fool," he began, "to ask you to share the paltry salary which this after noon seemed so great. I did not learn until later who you really were. It seems that I have been very dense." "You are still dense," suggested Irma. "Do yon come to ask roe to withdraw my promise of this after noon?" "You must know how impossible it would appear," he reminded. "I be lieve! you to be n teacher." "You were the teacher," she cor rected. "You taught me what love really is. Whut does It matter that I have more than you?" "I would not be considered a fortune hunter," he snld slowly. "And I will uot marry one." she re torted. "It 13 because you are not a fortune hunter, because you love me for myself, that I said 'Yes' this aft ernoon, and I shall hold you to your promise. Instead of you being curator of the Cheeswick collection we shall have a collection of our own." Silently he came toward her aud looked down into the tender eyes. No word was spoken, but a message was exchanged, nnd Brookfleld knew that such love waa not lightly to be s.! aside by pride. Slowly he gunk, Into TF1S0IEI 4 I!'

"And I." was her tender response, "am glad that you are what I know you to be." "I'll try to be all you think I am," be promised as be bent to kiss the smiling lips. And so Miss Moultaire's dread of fortune hunters had been settled through the Settlement 8alt Water Questions.

LARKIN HUNG. In a letter to the Chamber of Com merce, George J. Richardson, of the Richardson Steamship Line Company, states that the company expects to run vessels to this port from San Francisco about every five days from new on. The company owns the F. S. Loop, the R. D. Inman and the Johaii Fouiscn, the latter having been in port yesterday. Mr. Richardson fur ther states that his company will offer rates that he says are only about one-half of those offered by other lines carrying freight to Astoria from San Francisco, and "therefore," the letter adds, "we expect to secure most of the shipments to Astoria." Astpria will welcome rates that are reasonable and shippers will doubtedly be glad to patronize the Richardson vessels to the exclusion of 'others if the rates are to be as promised in the letter to the Chamber of Commerce. lumber, from Portland and San Fran cisco. The steamship Breakwater will re turn to her Portland-Astoria-Coos Bay run at once and will be here to morrow morning with Captain Mac genn on the bridge.

Captain Abererombie and Lieuten ant Knobloch of the First Company, Coast 'Artillery, stated last evening that plans have been virtually com pleted for the organisation of a sec ond artillery company in the city of Astoria. This will be good news to many.

Yesterday it was for inally decided to proceed with the plans to organize a Second Company, Coast Artillery in Astoria, and if the same success, is met with that was accorded the endeavors to start the First Company, it will be only a mat ter of a few weeks before the Sec ond Company is formally launched. The officers of the First Company arc enthusiastic over the plan of starting another company. If it is carried out successfully it will mean that Astoria will be one of the best military, towns in the State of Ore gon, and it will also mean, in an liken hood, that within a few years this city can have an armory of its own for the soldier boys. It is practicaiy assured that we will have a second company," said Captain Abererombie. "I talked with Adjutant- Finzer about it and he ap proved the plan and said he saw no reason why we can't succeed. If we do it, it will mean much for us in a military way, and among other things it would permit us to have field officers, and probably it would be only a matter of tfme before the Legislature would grant us money for an armory of our own." The need for the additional com pany arises from the fact that the present organization is not large enough for all that wish to take up the military work. Lee Cadoneau is one man who has always oeen an en thusiast along these lines and for per sonal reasons he was not able to at tach himself to the original company, and now Mr. Cadoneau is anxious to see another company. He says that he knows of 20 men who want to join the new company, and another man says he knows of fully 30 more who will join. After conferring with Captain Abererombie, Mr. Cadoneau and others have decided to go ahead with the plan and probably within a Clatsop County Peas Tender and Sweet 5c the Pound Ripe Cart left Pears 15c the Dozen Acme Grocery Co.

Owing to a lack of uniformity in laying out land in that vicinity, here was apparently no provision made for ever running Commercial street right through to the westward. It would be possible to go south one block and carry the street through on a continuation of uuane street, but to.do that would entail a consid erable expense in grading, as the land there is quite rough. To carry a con tinuation of Commercial street through would require little expense in the way of grading, as the land is comparatively level, with no big evening. MS-tf The Clean Man.

The city, meanwhile, is beholden for the sum issued in bonds and has for its security liens against the lands benefitted. Upon the whole the amendment is considered a most excellent one by those who favor such a measure. The amendment provides for the appointment of a commission of nine members, who shall now be named in the amendment, to hold office until 1915, when new officers shall be elect ed by the people, Provision is also made for a secretary, attorney, etc., to be paid salaries. The length of the retaining wall and other like details would be left to the members of the commission, five of whom shall con stitute a majority. As far as can be learned any elector may vote on this proposed amend ment, and the charter amendment it self makes no provision for any re striction upon the electorate as to property qualifications or otherwise. The charter amendment committee of the city council consists of the fol lowing: Councilmen Logan, Kaboth, Hansen, Leinenweber, and Robinson.

The matter has its points of interest to many, and Mr. Johnson's further investigation is likely to accentuate them. For instance, from his reports to headquarters, on the subject of fuel transportation as between the Tongue Point -milling plant and the city, the A. C. hauled 23 cars of slabwood fuel in July, 107, and 134 cars' in July of this year, which indicates that Mr. The next ten days will mark the great eft and most merci- I less slaughter of Ladies', Men's, Boys' Misses' and Child ren's OXFORDS ev er witnessed in the City of Astoria.

He was load ing a three-ton donkey boiler and en gine, and alK its ponderous appurte nances, on the dray, by himself, with the aid of the truck-winch and cable with which the vehicle was equipped. He made no fuss about it, but simply went ahead, with trained skill and equally trained patience, and a few' hand tools; did not seem to work? overly hard either; but he put that huge outfit safely, and cleverly, on the truck, and then went to the barn for) the team that he drove, brought them A. .1. 1 1 11-1 1 J k it I to uie loiiu, luicneu up, urove 10 ine destination prescribed in his orders, and as deliberately, and easily, un loaded it.

THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, AUGUST. 8 Saving Jimmie. By LULU JOHNSON. Oopyrightcd, 1908, by Associated Literary Press. "Paste her on the trademark, Skin ny," urged the captain of the team. And Skinny, otherwise Master James Trcadgear, being ever mindful of ad vice, "pasted" the sphere with such good effect that the ball sailed over the stone wall at the far end of the lot This changed jubilation Into regret, for not even three scores brought in by the borne run offset the fact that Skinny bad knocked a fifty cent ball over the wall Into the coloneTs garden. Billy Sniffen, who had been cajoleu Into lending his new ball to the "big fellows," some of whom were all of twelve years of age, let out a roar at the sudden disappearance of his prop erty- Balls that went over' the high stone barrier which surrounded the property of the peppery Colonel Moulton were regarded as good as lost. None of the boys dared brave the wrath of the re tired officer in search of lost property. Colonel Moulton would have been re garded as an ogre by mediaeval youth. for he stormed and raved at children. The smaller lads firmly believed that be liked to kill children, and when dusk had fallen they hurried past his choose lest he spring out and seize them, i Now, at the disappearance of the ball, the outfielders followed the base runners up to the home plate and Joined tn the volley of reproach direct ed toward the unfortunate Skinny. "You told me to paste her," he re minded the scowling captain. "I didn't tell yon to knock her over the wall," was the scornful retort "Poor Billy's mall lick him when he goes home without that ball." 'This was an angle from which the unfortunate William had not hitherto viewed bis loss, and it caused hia grief .to double. "You better skip over the fence and get it," decreed the captain, and the gang shuddered. Like a true despot, the captain could not be Induced to alter his command, and, though he weakened perceptibly as they drew near the fatal wall, he af fected a nonchalance, he did not feel.

"I can't So it," pleaded Skinny, but the captain was adamant. "You gotter," he insisted, made heartless by a skinned elbow. "Set np there or we'll throw you over." The threat bad its due effect. Skin ny clung shivering to the top of the wall for a moment; then he tumbled over on the other side, and in a mo ment the air was pierced by shrieks of j agony so shrill and terrifying that the gang fled incontinently toward thsj Street, with the doughty captain well I In the lead. as tney reached the sidewalk and turned to reconnoiter Skinny's sister Lucy came down the street and paused to regard the boys Inquiringly. "Where Is Jimmie?" she demanded of the captain. The captain hung his head. "That'B him," he confessed, with n jerk of his thumb in the direction uf the spot whence J!mrnle'3 screams still proceeded. "We boosted .liinmie over the wall to get a ball he lost, and I guess the colo nel's killing him." The entrance to the stone encircled park of the Moulton place was on the other street, and with the gang trail ing after her Lucy ran toward the gate. The boys were there before her, but made way that she might approach ihe dreaded portal. Every one of her ui tendants admired the courage and de termination with which she pressed t'i? button of the electric bell. Her finger was still on the porcohi knob when the gate was thrown opev and a young man. hatless and wlthou: his coat, appeared iu the aperture. IL started back as he perceived the excit ed group.

"Tho little fellow has a broken leg.' The entire gang raced up the street after the physician, aud Lucy was left alone with the stranger. "May I come In?" she demanded coldly. "It la my brother whom you have Injured." "You will be most welcome," was the courteous reply. "My father's household does not include any wo men, and I was somewhat at a loss to make him comfortable. I am Lieuten ant Faul Moulton," he added by way of introduction. "My father is Colonel Moulton, and I am visiting htm on leave." "I am Lucy Treadgear," announced Lucy in response. "It is my brother. James, whom you have Injured. Moulton stepped aside to permit hct to enter,- and after closing the gate he led the way into the house, where Jimmie lay on a sofa in the library with the white haired old soldier lean ing over him and trying to soothe his fear.

"No wonder," was the indignant re sponse, "when it is known that you have shot at several boys.

I had noth ing to do with It," declared the colonel. 1 "As for the shooting, a few blank car-! tridges and my consequent bad reputa- j tlon have been the salvation of my I fruit trees. This little fellow will tell you himself that neither Paul nor I was in the garden when be fell and broke his leg." Lucy looked Inquiringly at Jimmie, who nodded. "The boys pushed me np too. fast," he explained. "I went right on over. And I didn't get the ball," he added in consequentially, "and Billy's ma'll lick him for losing It, and Don Fraser said he'd lick ine if I didn't get it." "IH find it," volunteered the lieuten ant, and be slipped out leaving Lucy with the colonel. "My bark Is worse than my bite," explained .the old colonel, with red dening face.

Standing upon the very edge, he reached out to catch the hook which dangled near him. It was winter, and he wore thick buckskin gloves.

What Is Missed by Those Who Llv. Far From the S. No men of the world are so to be pitied, I think, as those who dwell far from the sea. They shall never know but a piece of life. A plalu, to bo sure. Is very well. It responds .delicately enough to tho humor of the season, changing from green to gold, from gold to dun, from dun to whlto. It has, too, its moods. Its laughters, its melancholies. Its rushlngs of the wind its llllmltablllty of the dark. A hill, thongh. is better that is, a hill that looks across a plain, never one that Is huddled among- Its fellows, for there one is caught like a beetle iu a cup A hill gives one a sense of freedom and a perspective upon the world. It is something to look down on tho par quetry of field and town aud wood and stream, to keep vigil upon the drama woven Invisibly below one's eyes, Aud It has moments a bill; certain nights of stnns, certain bursts of storm, cer tain Iridescent afternoons, when the whole tragedy of autumn is unrolled at one's feet. But above all else in the world give me an Island! There Is your tme nil crocosmos! There you hold In your hand, as It were, the esscuce and epit ome of the universe. Your own earth spreads under your feet Your own sky hangs over your head. Your own sea encircles you. Your own portion of life is meted out to yon day by day. distinct from that of other men. For not the least charm of an Island is Its privacy. An Islet of course, I mean one from which you may catch the glint of water on every side. Other wise your island is no better than a pasture. Whether you be a hermit or whether you have a book of verses underneath the bough and the requi site concomitants or whatever be your personal circumstances, you are yet divided from a hostile or indiffer ent world. You are at liberty to feel and to test your own personality. You are not overborne by tho rush of hu manlty which is the burden of terra firma. Scribbler's Magazine. A CASTELLANE PIRATE.

North Carolina probably never pro duced 'an ul;lcr preacher than Dr. Francis L. Ilawkes, who once was pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New York. Short, thick set swarUiy, black eyed nnd Wnck haired, he was n strik ing personage. He was uot ou!y a great pulpit orator, but considered' the best reader in the New York episco pacy. Ilia rather luxurious family de terred him from accepting a bishopric, which would have otherwise been tendered. One day n delegation from a Ituffalo church waited upon him and Invited him to accept a pastorate in thut city. "Well, la'iitlemcu, other things bel"s satisfactory, the question of accept ance narrows down to n business r.:::t tor." said Dr. Hnwkes. "What aalarj do you offer?" "Dr. Ilawkes," said the spokesiu::n. "we recognize that you have a 1i1k'.i reputation nnd nre wlllliiB to be lib eral. Our recent pastor received !?2, 500, but on account of your, stnpdln;: we have decided to offer you '$3,500." "My Rood man," cried the doctor, "do you know what salary I am receiv ing here?" "Xo. sir." "I got $15,000 ur.i! this parsonage, and, as I havo'nn expensive family, 1 do not seo my way clear to accept your offer." The spokesman looked rather sheep ish, but made n not her essay. "If we had known that, sir, we would undoubtedly have looked else where, but you should remember that the work of- the Lord must be done, nnd, as for providing for your family, you know the story of Elijah and the ravens." "Now, my friends!" responded the clergyman quizzically. "I have made the Rlblo my study ever since I was twenty-eight. 'I have read It through carefully and prayerfully over 100 times. I remember the raven inci dent perfectly, but nowhere can I find any reference to the Lord's providing for young Ilawkes." We manufacture them right here in Astoria at Lowest Prices.

Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirges Played When It Fell. The charter oak of Hartford was a white oak. The story goes that when James, duke of York, ascended the throne of England and sent Andros to take away all colonial charters Con necticut alone refused to surrender hers. Andros was furious over this defiance, and Oct. 31, 1687, be returned to the assembly ball of Hartford with a body of soldiers and demanded in stant surrender of the charter, which lay in a box on the table. A hot dis cussion followed. Finally Andros stretched out his band to seize the disputed paper. Then the candles were suddenly extinguished, and the people who had gathered on the street outside rushed In a disorderly crowd Into the hall. There was a period of wild confusion in the dark, and when the candles were finally relighted no charter was to be found. It had been removed by Captain Wadsworth and concealed in the oak, which ever after ward bore its name. The oak was even then old. "When the first settlers were clearing their land the Indians begged that it might be spared. 'It has been the guide of our ancestors for centuries, they said, 'as to the time of planting our corn. When the leaves are the size of a mouse's earn, then is the time to put seed into the ground.' The Indians' re quest was granted, and the tree, after ward becoming the custodian of the lost charter, became famous for all time. It fell in a windstorm. Aug. 21, 185G, and so deeply was it venerated that at sunset" on the day of its fall tha bells of the city were tolled and a band of music played funeral dirges over its ruins. At the time of its fall Its circumfer ence one foot from the ground was twenty-five feet, and it was estimated to be over 000 years old. Kansas City Star. One Exception.
