Oppose Advance Fruit Rates

North Yakima, Wash.-What the

follows: Northwestern Fruit Dis
tributers: Impossible to send repre-
sentative for the meeting August

resent us. Increased rate will de-
moralize the ample industry through
the middle eastern territory, as plo

We contend that the raise Is unjust

protest in behalf OF this section.

Accident On A. & c.

The accident to the freight train
on the A. & c. that delayed the in
coming passenger train to Astoria
Monday night was not very serious
one. The trouble happened near
Rainier. As the train was rounding a
curve at high speed, the air brake
and te axle of the front wheels of the
twentieth car from the engine broke,
letting the car drop onto the rail, and
tore up about 200 feet of track before
the train came to stop. AT s p. m.
Superintendent Mcclure arrived from
Astoria with engine No, II and a fiat
car, containing two pairs Of trucks,
The rear end Of the train was at once
pulled into Rainier, and the trucks
taken up to be placed Under the
wrecked car, The down passenger
train was held at Goble, and the up-
train at Rainier for several hours,
under the trucks were replaced, Con-
ductor Goodman received shak-
ing up.

Regatta Festivities

The supreme attraction during the
coming regatta season, will, beyond
all doubt, be the great Scandinavian
Saengerfest, and chief among its al
will be the solo singing of
A. Musgrove Robarts, the famous
English baritone. There will be a
full symphony orchestra of IS pieces,
the Astoria Philharmonic orchestra
being combined with the Symphony
Orchestra of Portland. The local
societies are making complete and
elaborate preparations for the grand
est musical triupmh Of the year, and
the great choruses will be heard
with orchestral accompaniment.
Portland will be represented by two
of its great societies. the Norwegian
and Swedish, and August 30th and
3lst, Saturday and Sunday, will go to
the history of music as gala days, par
excellence.

kindly but meagre aid, she has added
her paltry earnings, and has small
account at the local bank.
Mrs. Gates has a brother in San
Francisco who has offered to give
her and her child a refuge in return
for the care she would take OF that
home, and she has been hoping, with
the little she had saved, to go there
and accept the offer, but not with any
idea Of evading the orders of the
court as to leaving its jurisdiction, nor
in any other way subjecting herself
to the discipline or correction Of the
court.
Attorney Charles II. Abercrombie
has rendered the poor woman all the
aid in his power and will probably
do more if he can; he appeared for
her in the suit for divorce and has
advised her in all ways for her peace
and comfort,
Her husband has not made any
creditable showing in the case from
beginning to end and this has been
general and common knowledge at
Fort Stevens and in this city ever
since the hour he sought to force his
wife into the asylum; he has never
paid a cent of alimony nor rendered
her any aid since she gained her re-
lease; fact that throws considerable
doubt upon his purpose or ability to
meet the charge incurred by the
order granting the sum of $35 per
month to the custodian OF the child,
And it is hoped the kindness that has
actuated those who have tried to
smooth things for the unhappy
mother, will not cease nor be with
drawn until they have invoked the
larger justice that shall restore her
child to her,
There is every sign out that Judge
Mcbride has been imposed upon, and
the case will not be permitted to rest
where it is by any means, To those
who have watched the case from its
this last phase is but an
expression Of brutal and cold-blooded
retaliation on the part OF a man who
had not a morsel of merit wherewith
to appear in the open tribunal, plead
his rights, and have them adjusted.

stakes. Polly Prim. which recently
knocked chunks of the local track
record, will meet up with lot of fast
performers at that distance. The
Windsor officials are hoping for clear
weather and a fast track, and the
horsemen are also interested, because
under these favorable circumstances
there will be lot of wagering on the
record as we'll as on the winner.

has always flourished, but speed III
