AFTER THE SHINGLE TRUST.
Proceedings Commenced In the United
States Court at Tacoma.
TACOMA. May 54. The first cas to
I; tried In this state under the act of
congress which prohibits combinations
having for their purpose the restraint
of commerce, came up In the United
States court yesterday, when the case
of A. S. Glbbs vs. The Washington
Red Cedar Shingle Manufacturers'
Association was called.
The defendants demurred to the com
plaint on the ground that the forma
tion of the association was not" a vio
lation of the act of congress referred
to, and holding that the mere fact
that the defendants manufactured
shingles All not signify that they
would ship them, as there Is no state
law against the formation of such
combinations as associations. If the
contention set up by the defense holds
good. Mr. Glbbs would have no re
course In law. Judge Hanford asked
both sides to submit briefs, which was
done, and the case was taken under
advisement.
Mr- Glbbs asks for heavy damages
on account of alleged Injuries to Ms
business by reason of the formation of
the association.
AN IMPROBABLE STORT.
i
Heavy Loss Among American Troops
In a Philippine Battle as Re
ported By Way of Paris.
PARIS, May 24. A dispatch received
here reports a stubborn fight on the
Island of Catublg, one of the Philip
pines. The American losses are report
ed aa 500 killed or wounded.
The above dispatch Is undoubtedly
a Filipino account of the battle which
occurred at Catublg on May 20, and in
which there were about 20 American
casualties. It will be remembered that
Agoncillo, the representative of Aguln
aldo, is In Paris, and that he from time
to time gave out alleged dispatches re
grading events in the Philippines,
which have always proved to be ex
aggerated accounts of occurrences that
have been fully published.

BUMMER RESORTS.
"To the mountains our people In in
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days of relaxation and recreation nec
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working coniltlon. The
languorous sloth of the seashore proves
very seductive while It lasts, but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change of air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation of
flagging energies as will provide brawn
and vigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble, the balsam of the mountain
pines, and the clear, unadulterated
mountain air.
"In this iirectlon the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth of attractions.
The entire line of road from Ashland
to Redding is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps, where
are cheer and comfort and healing at
