But the fact remains that the kimono was absolutely lost for eight and one- half months as completely as if it had been destroyed by fire. It is again doing the service for which it was devised, MET COMPLETELY DETERMINED COMPLAINT IS MADE OF THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF ASTORIA ON THE NEW O. R. & N. SUMMER SCHEDULES. The new schedule governing the O. R. & N. and I. R. & N. services, be tween Portland, Astoria, and the north shore beach resorts, which is to go into effect on June 1st, has not yet been given out in any of its de tails and the Astorian is not yet in position to comment on the matters alleged in the following letter to be disadvantageous to Astoria; and it waits what of confirmation that time card may furnish: "North Beach, Wash., May 13, 08. "Editor Morning Astorian: "I have noted from time to time that you have referred in your news columns proudly and, of course, just y so to the near completion of the Ilwaco Railway extension to Megler's opposite Astoria. "We frequenters of North Beach have waited long years for this same extension, with a hope of a further ex tension up the Columbia; also with a stronger hope that when the time schedule should be made public we should be much rejoiced because we could run over to Astoria and return to our beach homes on the same day. But lo and behold the disagreeable and disgraceful fact is to be forced upon us that we are to be caged up at the beach points as of yore, except, with an uglier show of ill will on the part of the I. R. Co. and its parent, the 0. R. & N. "Full and complete arrangements appear to have been made for the Portlanders and Astorians to come to the beach and return home the same day; but taking the beach end as a starting point it is impossible for 'man or dog' to get out and back be tween sunrise and sundown. And this, by the way, promises to be the ar rangement not so much for the pur pose of 'rubbing it in' on Portlanders and Astorians, who become beach people as soon as they arrive here, but because of the fear that 'Jim' Hill and his lines might accidentally catch a dollarwhich same dollar has so long been spiked down by the 0. R. & X. and its offshoots. "There are many reasons why we beach people would like to visit As toria, perhaps a couple of times a week, if the run could be made both ways the same day; and many of us, even now, spend 24 hours, or more, to go over to do such shopping as a city of Astoria's size and advantages affords. "It will only take the secretary or manager of your Chamber of Com merce a minute to see that he has been overlooking a rich resource for Astoria when he has failed to discern the possibilities in a commercial way NTorth Beach holds for Astoria. There should be full and free communication facilities between these points over here and your own awakening As toria, and the popular pen that per petually prods the Portland Oregonian can do much for us. Help us along. "A READER." Whoopinf Cough. "In February our daughter had the whooping cough. Mr. Lane of Hartland recommended Chamberlain s Cough Remedy and said it gave his custom ers the best of satisfaction. We found it as he said, and can recommend it to anyone having children troubled with whooping cough," says Mrs. A. Goss, of Durand, Mich. For sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS A Kimono Mystery On the night of September first, of last year ,a certain well known young lady, of this city, upon retiring for the night, and with due forethought of her early morning attire, hung a brilliant red kimono at the head of her bed with the last waking conviction to use it when she arose. When she did arise the flaming garment had dis appeared, completely, without sign, trace, or later development; and it remained hidden beyond the utmost and ultimate effort of the entire fam ily to locate it from that hour until its owner, on awakening yesterday H H THEJEWEL With Moving Pictures and Illus- trated Songs X IS NOW OPEN Performances at The Bijou Dream has been discontinued Cor. i ith & Commercial fOPPnQTTTf.
