ANNAPOUS. Md., June 12.-The
board of visitors to the naval academy

too annual examination on the academy
grounds with the usual salute and mili

Navy Charles J. Bona parte accepted the
gift for the navy in brief address in
the course of which heaid:
, "John PauTJones was. "Erst" of all, a
fighting man; and in this he wa emi
nently successful. He did not win high
honors along any other line. The honor
which is now being paid his memory in
dicates, I think, the country's apprecia
tion of fighting qualities, aid that it
will appreciate them.
"The American people must keep the
standard of the fighters as high as that
which any race can show. To get such
men, it must treat them as such men
ought to be treated You, gentlemen, in
thus reminding us of the needs of our
first sea warrior have aided to make sure
(that we have a navy able to defend a
great country and a country worthy to
be guarded by great navy."

General C. A. Woodruf, California; G. P.
'Blow, Ilinois; Strathsarn Hondrie, Mich
igan; Frank J. Sprague, New York.
In the evening a concert was given in
honor of the board of visitors.
A Bad Mix-up. A rattling runaway
occurred yesterday morning on Seven
teenth street. One of the milk-driving
wagons of F. & K. Johnson was being
driven out of Irving avenue into Sev
enteenth, and as the team rounded on to
a hillside, coming down, the neck
yoke slipped off the tongue end, and the
team took fright at once and lit out.
The driver who was riding on the side
step, dropped off, and the outfit plunged
headlong down the steep thoroughfare,
and there is no telling the sum of dam
age that might have ensued, had they
not run foul of a wood-pile in front of
William Boch's place. Here the momen
tum of the outfit was lost in a general
collapse, of team and wagon and for a
few moments there was a genuine and
inextricable confusion of woodwork and
horse flesh, and it became necessary to
cut the harness into ribbons to extricate
the animals. Luckily there was no ser
ious damage done, though the scattered
milk-cans (which were mainly empty)
might have indicated as much to the
immense throng that gathered to witness
the run.
Just the thing for a warm day, a party, a dance, or to
take along at a picnic

WANT IMPROVED DELIVERY
Convention Decides to Appeal to the
, Companies For Co-operation in
an Effort to Bring About
Quicker Delivery.
NEW YORK. Juu'e 12. About 150
delegates attended the annual convention
of the Team, Owners - Association ' Of
America, which began yesterday.
The present convention is the most
important the association h yet held
as the transportation companies have
begun to recognize the necessity of bet
ter facilities for loading trucks at ter
minals and an appeal will likely be made
to the companies for co-operation in an
effort to bring about more rapid deliv
eries of merchandise.
President McGowan of the Board of
Aldermen made a speech of welcome and
the ret of the forenoon session was
taken up'chieflv by the reports of the
officer and the appointment of com
mittees.
Another session was held in the after
noon at which "The Commercial Auto
mobile in Theory" waf discussed.

Highways in the Borough of Brooklyn,
spoke on good streets and dicued the
merits of asphalt, the oblong granite
block and the wooden block.
The relations between the team owners
and their employes will be discussed to
day. Four Hundred Needed. The Astoria
t Columbia River Railroad Company is
Mill lamenting the shortage of freight
cars, as there is immediate demand for
four hundred to move waiting mill
tuffa along the line. And, even with
that demand filled there would be a
steady use for forty per day to keep
down any congestion. Like all other
western roads, however, it seeg no way
at present, of breaking the hold-up, and
li ill. do the. best it can, under the cir
cumstances. There will be two more
Sunday excursions out of Portland for
the southern beaches, and then, on the
30th day of this month the new sum
mer schedule will go into effect, and the
new extra train out of Portland, on
Saturday afternoon at 3:10 o'clock, will
go into operation. This train will make
but five regular stops between Portland
and Seaside, Rainier, Clatskanie, Astoria,
Warrenton and Gearhart, and at Hol
ton and Goble, on flag. It is bound to
be a popular train and run.
An Interesting Question. The Astor
ian some days ago intimated that in or
der to try out the legal taxable status of
its property the Callender Navigation
Co. intended to determine once for
all in which State. Washington or Ore
gon, the taxes due upon them, should
be paid, and that Sheriff Linville had
made due levy for the 1905 tax, and de
linquencies, upon certain of the com
pany's property here. The issue has now
been properly 'raised and will be pre
sented at the ensuipg term of the Cir
cuit Court. In the meantime, a plea in
junction, to prevent the sale of the
steamer Wenona, upon which the weight
of the sheriff's levy fell last week, in
this behalf, has been set up and will be
immediately submitted to Judge BcBride
in chamber. The teamr involved aw

tered at the federal custom house
here, a of Astoria, and the qm-tion

The Blue and the Gray. An attractive
window is a store' greatest ae. so
much so that a window dresser is the
most valuable man around a store of any
pretentions. In many cities such art has
been used in the ilivxing of window
that a new amusement ha been in vogue
of late vears that of "window shop
ping." That i to say a man and wife
will stroll up aud down the busy street
of a large city for hours, perfectly con
tented and happy admiring the things
without their reach or spotting future
purchases. Astoria is fust climbing up
to the window shopping point and a
window like P. A. Stokes 'Blue and
Gray" window of this week make a long
stride toward the inauguration of the
"window shopping" stage. Mr. K. H.
Stone, the dresser of this window, is
full of good ideas and au expert in his
line.

TO REMOVE COURT HOUSE.
ABERDEEN. Wssh., .lime 12.-A vig
orous campaign for the removal of the
court house from Montesano to a site
letween Aberdeen and Hoquiam will be
inaugurated Friday night at a mass
meeting to be held here. The principal
object of the meeting is to arouse en
thusiasm and to appoint a committee to
conduct the campaign.
The scheme will encounter active op
position from the east end of the county,
as Monti'sano is much more convenient
for the reakfrnts there. Montesano, too,
will use every effort to prevent the re
moval. But as the western part of the
county ha much the largest proportion
of the population, and as Hoquiam and
Aberden are by far the largest towns in j
the entire county, there is little doubt I
but that the plan for removal will
carry. j
