COMPANY IS UNFAIR
WITH ASTORIA
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LAST
NIGHT AGAINST INSURANCE DIS
ELIMINATION AGAINST ASTORIA,

At the meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce held last night, Vice President
Ball presided.
Messrs. A, r. Cyrls, c. J. Trencharl
and Wm. Larson were appointed cont
mittee to visit Tilhmook during the
Fair about to open there and do all
they could to promote feeling Of closer
business relations. They took large
quantity of literature with them for
distribution.
Mr. J. T. Ross. offered resolution
which was unanimously carried instruct
ing the secretary to write to the Port
land & San Francisco Steamship Com
pany asking that the discrimination
against Astoria shippers in the way OF
cargo insurance be done away with; and
that ii it was not done away with. that
the matter be taken up ii possible with
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
As matters now stand this steamship
company insures the cargoes OF all Port
land shippers to San Francisco but will
not insure the eargoes of any Astoria
shippers. A number of Astoria shippers
were heavy losers because of the recent
sinking OF the Columbia and heavy
losses were sustained by Astorians who
shipped on both the st. Paul and the
Oregon.
A vote of thanks was passed thank
ing the Rev. Rydquist of this city for
literature for the Chamber
OF Commerce at the jamestown Exposi-
tion.

MANAGER WHITES REPORT.

The manager read his report for the
past two weeks as follows:
Among those who have distributed
literature for the Chamber of Commerce
ir the near past has been the Rev. Mr..
Rydquist of this city who performed that
task for us at the jamestown Exposi-
ton. And I respectfully recommend
that he be given vote of thanks by this
organization for his valuable services.
During the past two weeks our adver-
tising campaign has been productive of
an increasing number of answers and
while most of these were in the nature
of general inquiries to the senders of
which we were able to reply with pam
phlets and circular letters, yet we have
had quite large number of inquiries
from those who wished to establish
brick plants, wholesale grocery houses,
wagon and vehicle factories, who wanted
to invest money or who wished to set
tie in this city for the purpose of 60
ing into some kind of business.
The member of one large brick max
ing concern, DIR. J. c. Manner of Campus,
ILL.,, has been here in person and has had
expressed back to his home office some
twenty pounds Of clay for the purpose
of having ample brick made out of it.
Much evidently depends upon the quail
lity of clay we have in this locality. AL
though samples of this clay were sent
to Prof. John Fulton Of Corvallis for
testing purposes early last Spring, and
we have written him twice asking about
the tests, we have not been able to
hear anything frdm him for several
months. presume he must be away
on his vacation for the summer and that
We will shortly hear from him with full
details.
As we have had considerable inquiry
and correspondence concerning the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress of which Con
gresham Ramsdell of Louisiana ia chair
man | respectfully recommend that this
organization become member of that
body, the annual dues being $25, AMI it
appearing from the Investigations made by
Mr.. Z. Z. Ferguson, chairman Of the
committee appointed to make due inves-
tigation and examination, that it would
be for the best interests of our organi-
zation to be in position to send dele
gates to the next meeting of this con-
gress. While it is fact that the
chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee of the House practically con-
trolls the appropriation for river and
harbor improvements, yet he is guided
by suggestions and recommendations
from many competent sources among
which none stand higher than the Rivers
and Harbors Congress. And if we are
to become members l suggest further
that a committee be appointed at once
to frame up a program of action for As.
toria in advance Of the next meeting Of
the congress, 80 that we will be in q
position to do the greaest amount Of
good that the occasion win permit.

BUBONIc PLAGUE ON COAST.

Despite the paucity of telegraphic
news now prevailing the disagreeable in
telligence has come over the Associated
Press wires that the bubonic plague has
developed in the port Of San Francisco
in very palpable shape, but that it is
being handled with skill and consummate
care and is already checked beyond peril
Gus spread.
There was a day, not so many years
ago, when news of this sort would have
created wild CONSERVATION from the
Mexican line to Victoria, and eastward
over great divides of the continent; but
now, in the light of superbly enhanced
medical supervision and the proven
means Of quickly and substantially
stalking such tremendous evils as this,
fear of contagion and dread Of its en-
during curse are obliterated, and the
mind of man simply deplores the main
fact that the unguarded few are sacri-
feed primarily, and knows his own safe
ty and that of his family and fellows.
Such matters as this accentuate the
good we enjoy in the existance of the
scientific and costly care taken by our
government, and it is the highest pos
sible expression of essential 'paternal-
ISM; and the sociological student may
make the most of SO righteous and right
full an argument if he will, since it is
as valuable as it is manifest to every
man concerned. There cannot be too
much of such "paternalism.''

WEATHER.
THE SEASONS QUEENl

The Queen has been chosen for the
Thirteenth Annual Regatta at Astoria,
and the community lifts its hat to the
gracious sovereign of the hour and cries
Hail
The honor is one that has contributed
to some of the pleasantest history OF
this historical city, and its annals will
be most happily amplifed with jolly
and reminiscent data when this years
chronicle shall have been added to the
long and interesting narrative of As
toria's yearly festivals.
Miss Tallant is peculiarly fitted for
the dignity and will confer distinction
on the event and the city that is giving
it, and make the fiesta memorable in
all its social functions; she is of the soil
and loyal to it, always the cardinal
quality of royalty; she is of gracious
presence. an adept at social and cere-
monial requisites, and lacks nothing
that might impart the fullest success to
the happy occasion. No better choice
could have fallen, and the generous ma
ority vote that gave the sovereign-hood
to her, quite emphasizes the communal
appreciation in this behalf.
Here's to Her Majesty, the Regatta,
the Welcome Visitors, the City respon-
sible for it all! May the most delicious
weather prevail, the climax of joy be
reached, and the first of the "teenth"
ANIMALS take its place in the catalogue
OF Astoria's great entertainments as the
chiefest and best of them all!

Estes Shooting Case.
Lovingston. Va. May 20. - Former
Judge W. G. Loving. manager of the
Thomas F. Ryan estate, was indicted
for the murder Of Theodore 1. Estes
at Oakbridge, near LovingstOn, or
April %, following a drive, during
which Loving claims Estes drugged
and assaulted Miss Loving, the daugh.
ter of the defendant.
The proceedings in the circuit court
were the indictment Of Loving, his
.arraignment, pleading Of not guilty
admission to bail and arguments fol
and against a change of venue.
The case is attracting widespread
interest. owing to the prominence OF
the parties.
Those who think Judge Loving was
too hasty in staying Estes declare he
cannot appeal to the unwritten law
because it does not cover his case.
On the other hand. his adherents
urge he was right in taking summary
vengeance on one whom he believed
with the strongest reason, had wrong
ed his child. They admit the posi-
bility of a mistake, but still Contend
that If he was convinced of Estes
guilt his defense is complete.

at the smell of the meat beat the door
furiously with his paws. The door
gave way and In the next moment the
tiger amid the shHeks Of the crowd
was tearing his way through the tent.
Women screamed and tainted as
they ran. Mrs. 8. G. Rozell, mother Of
the slain child. wedged in by the
crowd. could not get out OF the tigers
path. and one sweep Of the immense
paw swept her to the ground.
Then another paw rested on the
chest Of the child, while the teeth Of
the beast sunk into her flesh.
Above the screams Of the audience
sounded the crack OF a revolver fired
three times by J. W. Bell, a black
smith. The beast staggered to his
feet then rolled over dead.

PRESIDENTS PARTY
DRENCHED TO SKIN
Mr.. Roosevelt and Wife Caught in
Storm on Outing.
WERE BESPATTERED WITH NIUE

washington, May 2S.-A badly mud
bespattered party, at the head of which
was President Roosevelt, got of car
Of the Washington, Alexandria &
Mount Vernon Electric railway here.
They had been on a visit to Mount
Vernon, part Of the trip being by
horseback, and had been caught in q
heavy shower. AS the result of the
storm, the roads were in a fearful
condition, and as the riders progressed
they were splAshed from head to foot
with mud. The other members Of the
party besides the president were Mrs.
Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Post
master General Meyer and Captain
FStEHugh Lee, one of the presidents
military aides. The clothing Of the en-
tire party was drenched. The trip in
many respects was a rough riding"
one.
The president has explored on horse
back much Of Eae country about Wash.
ington lying north of the Potomac
river. He also has made occasional
visits across the river west of Wash
ington in the vicinity of Chain Bridge,
the Aqueduct Bridge and various other
places. He was anxious, however. to
make the longer trip to Mount Yer
non, and several days ago planned the
excursion.
The distance from Washington tc
Mount Vernon is 16 miles. The trip
to Alexandria was made by trolley in
half an hour
At the city's outskirts the presi
dents orderly. McDermott, was await
ing the party with five good saddle
horses. 1t took but a few minutes foI
the party to mount and get OFF. They
had cantered along the road, how
ever, but four miles when a severe
storm overlook them. They did not
have time to find shelter before all ol
them got drenched almost to the skin
Finally they espied an unoccupied
farm house along the roadside and
sought shelter under the lean to" al
the rear for half an hour Covering in
the outbuildings also was found fol
the horses.
Rain was still falling lightly as the
party again took up the trip to Mount
Vernon. Here Colonel Dodge. the su
perintendent of the grounds, gave then
a cordial welcome, showed them over
the grounds, about 2000 acres in all;
through the mansion and the various
buildings, and pointed out the Fairfax
estate in the distance. There were
number of visitors at Mount Vernon
and the president shook hands with |
them. Luncheon was served in the old |
house, used as a kitchen on state 90
casions in Colonial times but now 90
cupied as a dining room.
"The ride up to Alexandria wai
slippery and muddy" said one of the
party, but there were no mishaps, and |
we had the bright sunlight with us ali |
the way up to Washington.
At Alexandria the presidential party
boarded the special car for the remain
ing seven miles.
