morning, with the sub-conscious de
termination to put on that same lurid
article of raiment, found the kimono
hanging on the foot of the bed, start
lingly red as ever and in excellent
condition, save for a lot of .wrinkles
The query with the family now is,
does the daughter walk in her sleep
and incidentally hide her things in
remote and inaccessible places, or
does a ghost walk in the family home?
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

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

Chairman Lamar of the Astoria
rose festival float committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, having been
apprised that that beautiful car would
need two young people to complete
its allegorical story, to-wk, a young
lady to figure in the breaker at the
feet of the sea-god Neptune, and a
young man to pose as the master of
the yacht in the foreground of the
display, and know there was not time
to put the matter up to -public con
test, has succeeded in winning the
consent of Miss Louis Wise, the
younger daughter of Mayor Herman
Wise, to serve in the first instance,
and that of Carl Thomas, recently a
member of the victorious debating
team of this city's schools, to act as
the sailor lad; both concessions fill

the splendid and typical float to a
nicety.
Excursions, Galore-
It is announced that the Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad Company
officials have devised a "Battleship
Day" special excursion schedule that

next to the sea.
