STARTS
FOR THE ORIENT

The Boston Steamship company's
Oriental liner fremont sailed from
Puget Sound last night, taking a.
600 tons of American products con-
signed to the principal ports of ia
pan, China and the Philippines. All
told, for Yokohama, Kobe, Shang-
hal and Hongkong she took about
100000 quarter sacks of flour. Other
heavy shipments were of wire nails,
leaf tobacco and hardware. Her
freight for the Philippines is made
up principally of camp and army
post supplies.
Unusual interest attaches to the
sailing of the fremont and all other
vessels from American ports for the
Orient, in view of the activity Of
the Russian feet in holding up any
craft supposed to have freight in the
nature of contraband billed to Japan.
But there is not pound OF contra

WHEN SUNDAY BASE
BALL MAY BE PLAYED

Topeka, Kan, Aug 15.-As long
as the Missouri Valley league teams
play Sunday games of baseball here
that do not resemble cock fighting,
horse racing or games of cards, the
minions of the law will sit idly by.
But, whenever the great American
sport takes on the appearance of a
pinochle game, a chicken fight or a
steeple chase the ball players will be
arrested under the law which was
thought to prohibit base ball on Sun
day in this town.
This is the legitimate deduction
from Judge Hazen's opinion in dis
charging Doc" Schrant, Topeka's
first baseman, in his trial for violat-
thought to prohibit baseball on Sun
day. Says the law:
every person who shall be con-
victed of horse racing, cock fighting
or playing at games of cards or game
of any kind on the first day Of the
week, commonly called Sunday shall
be fined not exceeding $50"
The defense contended that when
general words follow particular ones
they are to be construed as applica-
BILE only to things of like nature.

PLUGGING FOR THE
NEWSBOYS' NOMINEE

Members of the Tacoma labor I'M
ions are working enthusiastically for
the success of the labor day carni-
val. They are especially interested
in the candidacy of Miss Jennie Bon
ner, the Tacoma Newsboys' nominee
for queen of the carnival, and if she
is not elected they say it will not be
because of lack of home support.
The impression prevails in some
quarters that the money for the votes
which may be cast for Miss Bonner
is to be used for the Seattle carnival.
On the contrary, every cent of it will
go into the treasury of the Tacoma
Newsboys' union. to be used as they
see fit.
With few exceptions the local un-
ions have signified their intention of
going to Seattle on Labor day, and
of taking part in the monster indus
trial demonstration which is being
arranged for.

rotary of the executive committee of

1916 on the farm where he now is
living and where his grandfather set

400 acres. When the state grange
was organized in July, 1872, he was
chosen as it's treasurer and served
in that capacity for 23 years and he
was present at every session of the
state grange during that period. On
relinquishing the office of treasurer
he was chosen master of the state
grange, and is serving his fifth BIZ

GRANGE AT
PORTLAND, OREGON

That the national grange will have
a hearty welcome to Washington and
oregon in November, 1904, is be-
coming evident. The meetings will
be held in Portland, Ore, and plans
are under way for making the visit
of the body a most pleasant one. The
two states are planning to combine
forces and make a display of their
farm and garden products such as
will be a surprise to the eastern peo-
pie, particularly at that time of the
year. Messrs. Leedy of Oregon and
Wing of Washington, masters of the
respective state oranges, will leave
no stone unturned to show up the
attractions of their respective states
and they propose TO show marked
increase in the membership of the
order in these states during 1904.
There is evidence that the next meet
ing of the national grange will not
only leave its impress upon the two
states mentioned but preparatory TO
it's coming and on account of its COM
ing, there will be given a new inn
petus to the work.

Options on about 100 acres of
tide lands taken several weeks ago
by T. R. Manning, were allowed to
lapse today. The land is located
west of the tract purchased through
Mr.. Manning last week and is owned
by members of the Tacoma Land &
improvement company
The options on this land were talk

posed to represent the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St Paul railroad
Mr.. Manning stated today that OPP
tons held on other tracts would be
probably taken uD about the end of
this month. Allowing the options to
lapse today has no special signiti-
canoe. 1t merely means that the par
ties have secured enough lands for
their needs in that locality.

Mrs. Womack-D ignan-Dana wife
of the young bank clerk found shot
in Central park, New York, has a
fad for photographs. This picture
was taken a couple of years ago. She
was in Seattle then, on visit. One
evening in evening dress she wrapped
the habiliments of Sister of Mercy

that she was divorced from her Sc
attic husband more than two years
ago and was merely grass widow. "
AS a matter of fact, Mr. and Mrs.
Dignan were divorced in this city
less than a month ago, but so quietly
that the fact remained unknown to
all but the parties and their attor-

in New York.

vessel was uniniured but the bow of
the Ramona was crushed Most of
the damage was above the water line
and at no time was the Ramona in

found that the vessel was not ser

When the Ramona arrived at her
destination she had taken about
eight inches of water. A week in the
