MAS ELDER DEPARTS FOR SOUTH-STATE SAILS TODAY Here is a specimen of spectacular reporting from the marine columns of the Portland Oregonian of yester day: "The gasoline launch Lady Marie, which was sent from Seattle to Port land by rail and was to have been taken down the coast from Astoria to Yaquina Bay, is missing. She has failed to arrive at the coast port and her owner, Mr. Morrison, is greatly worried over the safety of the craft. "The Lady Marie was shipped from the Sound City about three weeks 1 ago. The man in charge was not a sailor but he had taken the contract tti deliver the launch at Yaquina. The boat was launched at Portland and the voyage to Astoria was made with out incident. The operator attempted to' follow a steamer out over the bar but got scared and returned to As toria. Later he agreed to take the launch down the coast. He left As toria and since that time there has been nothing heard from either the operator or the launch. Captain Geo. Tyler, master of the gasoline sloop Condor, has been commissioned to make a search for the missing boat and to convoy her to Yaquina." -The Lady Marie was not brought to Portland from Seattle by rail; she is not missing; she was sailed around here successfully and is lying at the upper end of the O. R. & N. pier, sound as a dollar, and has been there for a week or more. She has not been in Portland that anyone here knows of. Captain Tom Latham, who has just arrived here with the Barnes launch Helen Payne, from Lake Bay, Alaska (on a voyage of 1192 miles), will leave out this morn ing with the Lady Marie at 4 o'clock and if she h6lds together he will land her here at Yaquina in good shape. She is a fine launch and can go any where in the hands of a real mariner. ' The British steamship Ilford has crossed in, from Guaymas, Mexico, with all well on board. She reported two Chinese stowaways on board, and there will be held on the craft for return to their native land. Cap-; tain Hemberry has reported the mat ter to the immigration authorities here and is under orders to hold them securely until they are landed in the first Chinese port he reaches. The Ilford will take the Sark's berth at the Hammand docks this afternoon. She will take the first lumber cargo on record for this port to Copen hagen, Denmark. . The fine lighthouse tender Armeria, Captain William Gregory, which has been undergoing extensive overhaul ing at Seattle, is due in home waters at. any hour now. She will take on h heavey line of supplies here, for Nome and contiguous Alaskan ports. She will be absent in the north for a month or more. TEA You think one tea as good as another?

Lowe yesterday launched his cracker-jack duck boat the "Peggie and she swung her 16-feet over the bay at a 9-mile clip with ease. She is built on good lines and nothing is lost in curves nor hollows; she is sheer- built and her little motor runs like a watch. The steamship Geo. W. Elder got away from the Callender pier at 5:30 o'clock yestreday morning, with sev eral passengers, .and 100 barrels of fish oil. Among those departing on the Elder were Andrew Thorenson, to San Pedro; and L. Nissom, for Eureka. The steam launch Ed Hurd belong ing to the Columbia River Packers' Association, which has been through course of general repair, was out on the bay yesterday afternoon and runs i ngood fashion. She goes back to tender duty at once. The Spencer and the Lurline both made port yesterday on their respec tive schedules in spite of the Landis like of $5 each paid into the municipal court of Portland by way of punish ment for river racing. The British ship Ancois went back to Portland yesterday noon on the hawsers of the Harvest Queen. The Queen came down with a full line of freight which she discharged here and at Megler. The tug Geo. R. Vosburg got away for the Nehalem at dawn yesterday morning with the Du Bois-Wheeler party of 10 on board. She had a barge in tow. The steamship State of California is due at the O. R.-& N. piers at 3 o'clock this afternoon, bound for San Francisco, and will leave this port an hour later. The British steamship Dulwich j will be down the river sometime to day, en route to Australia, with her million feet of good Oregon lumber. The Norwegian steamship Sark will leave the Hammond mills dock this morning for Portland where she will finish cargo. The steamer Asuncion arrived in from the California coast at noon yesterday ,and went on up the river immediately. ' ' , The steamer Sue H. Elmore will leave out for Tillamok Bay points at 4 o'clock this morning. DONE BY DEED State of Oregon to George McMil lan, 243.07 acres of tide lands, in township 8; $486.14. J. E.

TO GIVE AID 'EFFORTS WILL BE SOON MADE TO ACTIVELY INTEREST THEM IN THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY PROJECT. That the city of Tillamook does not seem to display the interest that it should in the projected Astoria, Seaside & Tillamook Electric Rail way Company has recently been the source of considerable comment among some of the leading business ,men of this city. But the reason for this fact may not be difficult of as certainment, it is pointed out by others. , "For years Tillamook has thought and dreamed of little but railroads," said one Astorian yesterday who is thoroughly familiar with conditions in the county south of Clatsop, "and they have been fooled so often that naturally enugh it is hard for them to have faith in a new railway pro ject. That is probably the reason why so little attention is being paid to. the present plan. Nevertheless the business men of Astoria who are behind the projected electric line are going to make an effort -to interest the Tillamook men. With that end in view it is probable that some of the local men will make a trip to Tillamook soon, and put the matter before business men there. It will be pointed out that Astoria has raised $10,000 which is being used for the preliminary work, and that if the present plans are carried out in the manner that is now promised, the work of actual construction of the line to Seaside will be commenced within a couple of months. Practically every man interested in the line is willing to stake his money as wll as his business judgment on the success of the line. That it will be built within a reasonably short time is simply taken as an assuredlthat all freight and patronage be fact. All the money required to com plete all of the preliminary work be tween this city and Cannon Beach has already been raised, and is being expended in the surveys and other like work. Of course the real crux of the whole enterprise is to finance it. The promotor of the project, Mr. Evans, states that he stands prepared to secure all the money required. Those who are in his confidence have ' ample reason to believe that his plans will carry through with no hitch; but even in the event that something un toward should arise so that Mr. Ev ans' plans go astray, it should not be forgotten that the Chamber of Commerce still holds an absolutely reliable offer to take half of the bonds of the company the moment they are put on the market. "Tillamook will never have a better chance to aid in the opening of aj railway than right now," said one of j the men back of the enterprise yes terday. "Our line will go through, j All that we ask, of Tillamook is that j fliA Kiictfiacc iMon tliad rilca v. n air i . , . ,. . 3 enough for the preliminary surveys! , . t, . . , i between Cannon Beach and Tilla-; mook, as we have done for the work from this city to Cannon Beach. They can procure the rights of way better than we can. Then, the mo ment that all the preliminary work is done, two propositions will be made to the Tillamook men by Mr. E.vans. First, that he will pay them in cash for every dollar they have laid out, or will give them the value in stock i in the new road.". Mr. Evans said last evening that such is the plan that will be proposed to the Tillamook men. "Only," he said, "I would prefer that they ac cept cash instead of stock in the new company." The real desire is to in terest the men of that county to the end that the surveys may be made and the rights of way secured with the least resistance possible. Natur ally, local men can aid best in that work. Mr. Evans, promotor of the new line, said yesterday that the survey force is now within six or seven miles of Seaside. They will.be there some time next week. It has been decided that the line will run through the cemetery along the section line, running between the Potter's field and the main part of the burial ground. "We will run a loop northward from there, also," said Mr. Evans, "so as to tap all of the rich country that lies to the north The loop will go north to Flavel, and will also touch on the grounds of the military reser- vaion. Un this loop will be operated two or three loop cars, to connect with the cars of the main line. IS ASTORIA EAGLES GO ON REC ORD IN REBUKING THE A. & C, AND N. P. RAILWAYS FOR REFUSING THEM RATES There was n big and interesting session of the Astoria Eagles at the Aerie hall, last eveni.ig, when many matters of peculiar moment were thoroughly discussed and disposed, not the least of which wa the adoption of the following pointed and practical resolution, which is en tirely self-explanatory: "Resolutloa" "Whereas, The Grand Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles will meet in Seattle on August 11, 1908, and will be attended by fully 50,000 members from various cities in the United States; and . . "Whereas, Every transportation company in the United states nave given reduced rates to members de siring to attend, except the Northern Pacific and Astoria & Columbia Riv er Railroad, who positively refuse to grant any reduced rates from As toria, but offer to do so from Port land, and "Whereas, We consider this an adjust discrimination against As toria Aerie, No. 17, F. O. E., and against the City of Astoria ,who spend hotusands of dollars every year with said railroad company, now therefore be it "Resolved, That Astoria Aerie No. 17, F. O. E., comprising 300 members, many of whom are mer chants, denounce the Northern Pa cific and Astoria & Columbia River Railroad officials for their unjust and unfair discrimination against Astoria, "Resolved, That we withdraw all patronage from the Astoria & Colum bia River Railroad and Northern Pa-; cific Railroad Company, relative to shipping freight over said lines, and given to the steamer Spencer or any other river steamer, and that Port land, and that Portland and other wholesale merchants be notified that we will not accept any goods ship ped over cither of said roads. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mr. Adams of the A. & C. Railroad Company and the same be published in the news- papers of Astoria."

HIGH GRADE 521 COMMERCIAL STREET Georgia Populist Gets After the Peerless One BUT HAS PRAISE FOR TAFT Let The South Become Politically Uncertain, Says Watson, And She Will Again Become Politically Great Hit Great Purpose In Life. MACON, Ga., July 24,-Thomas E. Watson, Populist candidate for Pres ident opened his campaign here in a speech oi one hour to an audience that taxed the capacity of the Crand opera house. He asked for Geor gia s electoral votes and said, it nec essary ,he would give them to Bryan to defeat Taft. His assaults were all directed at Bryan, however, and his 'praises were for Roosevelt and Taft. His charge against Bryan of refus ing to vote for Crisp for Speaker in the Democratic caucus because of his being a Confederate was heard in si lence but his attack on the Nebras kan for his attitude in giving the ne groes comfort in the Brownsville matter was repeatedly applauded. Mr. Watson spoke as follows; The greatest purpose of my life now is to put the South back into the position of National influence which she held before the Civil war and to bring back the reign of Democratic principles as they were practiced in the 40s and 50s. The greatest obsta- rl in th wav i th iinnthv nf th , ivmi it nrntisi. r Drirwi'li'ul. Ihcv rnnlM , , ' ' jaj yourself Democrats Andrew Jackson Democrats; Thomas JelTer you have never sfm.

It represents a disgrace 'fill surrender of principle. In 1896 jMr. Bryan claimed to-be as good q J Populist as Watson. For eight years he wore every shred of clothing .which Populism had in its wardrobe. , In 1904 he abandoned his Populist raiment and entered zealously into the Parker campaign, which he himself had denounced as ,a sell-out to the Wall-street clement of the Democra tic party.

Mr. Bryan understands the help lessness of the South and exploits it to the very utmost, From the South ern States he must draw 156 of the electoral votes that are necessary h'8 uess and yet he has treated lhe Southern States as a purely neg- hgible quantity. In return for her 156 electoral votes she gets nothing. WATSON HITS BRYAN GROCERIES PHONE 681 NEW TO-DAY GOOD WOOD.
