Fred Bartoldus, superintendent of the county rock crushers was in the city yesterday. He states that the rock crusher at Olney was started up last Monday and a number of teams are now hauling rock on the road between Greenwood cemetery and Olney. There was about two miles of the road where the old planking had not been removed and these have been taken up and crushed rrwV nlaced on that portion. It is lexpeced this work will be completed j by July 1. As soon as it is completed ithe rock crusher will be put on new road between Olney and the end of the Blaisdell contract will start up and work of rocking the road will be commenced. At the meeting of the county court a contract was en tered into for the purchase of sit wide tire wagons to be used in haul ing rock. As it was a special order the wagons will have to be built and it is expected they will be completed and arrive in Astoria by July 1st. Alex Normand has completed his contract to the summit and has about a mile and a half to complete. This will complete the grading of the road from Olney to the junction, which will be rocked as fast as pos sible although it will not be com pleted before two years, but will be open for travel as a portion of it was last year. It is not thought the county court will award any contract ing, and went on np stream with but little delay here.

D. C May 6, That division of the signal corps, which will resume the aeronautical tests and experiments at Fort Myer today, is contemplating a number of experiments in connection with the dirigible baloons and aeroplane flights that are to take place almost daily until Autumn. General James Alton, the chief signal officer, places more faith in the mottor balloon type of airship and in tends to have the officers detailed to aeronautical work make an exhaus tive test of aerial motors for aero planes, provided they can be obtained without much cost to the division. Congress failed to appropriate any thing for aeronautical work by the signal corps and the plans for the test are therefore indefinite. It is generally conceded that the Wright brothers will be able to fulfill all the conditions of their contract with the Government. They will receive $25 000 on compliance with the tests, for their aeroplane. The aeroplane which j C. H. Hammering has contracted to j build for the signal corps probably i will be of greater interest than the j Wright machine, the privilege of j viewing It having been accorded to i few people. j In order to familiarize themselves j with air currents the officers of the ; aeronatical division have planned a ! series of flights in the motor balloon, ESS Our enthusiasm for our new summer ; Suits and vercoats which we are now offer ing especially made for us by Hart, Vchaffner Marx is based almost entirely on the results our cus tomer get from them.

ALEX TAGG S3 Commercial St.. Astoria. Or NEW YORK, May 6 The mar riage of Joseph H. Portugale. a min ing engineer of Walker, Arizona, and Miss Clara Goodard Colt, an heiress of Bryn Mawr, Pa-, was announced here last night. Mr. Portugale, who is the son of j Portugale Pasha until recently in the high councils of the tormer sultan, Abdul Hamid of Turkey, came to this country several years ago to avoid diplomatic services for the Ottoman Empire. , His romance with Miss Colt be gan soon after and because her father, James P. Colt, now dead, in sisted that he demonstrate his ability ; as an engineer, Mr. Fortugaie went to Arizona, where he is said to have prospered. When he came to this country he tion to Jewell this year, as it will re quire all the available funds to rock the road already contracted for and graded. Mr. Bartoldus is of the opinion that when the road is completed to Jewell it will have to be widened to double its present width. The present road it wide enough for teams and wagons, but too narrow for wagons and automobiles. Two teams can pass each other, but it is difficult for an . auto to pass a wagon with safety. The new road is shorter and of a much lower grade enabling farmers to haul at least a ton of produce to Astoria. Another thing to be taken into consideration is the probable building of a railroad from Tillamook to Astoria, in which event most of the farmers will send their products to market by that route, leaving the county road practically to the automobiles. When Judge Gray was county judge, the court estimated the cost of building the road from Astoria at $39,000. It has already cost the coun ty over $50,000 and at least $25,000 more will be required to complete the road- When completed, the trip can be made from the Nehalem to Astoria in six hours, whereas now it requires an entire day, which does not permit the farmers to bring produce to Astoria at a profit.

THE BROKAW LIBELS. CHICAGO. May 6--The right of a telegraph transmit messages which might reflect on the character of a person is to be tested in a damage suit which has been brought by Mrs. Mary Blair Brokaw, wife of W. Gould Brokaw against the Western Union Telegraph Company. The suit for divorce instituted by Mrs. Bro kaw sometime ago contains sensa tional allegations concerning the young millionaire's treatment of her both in private and in public. She now alleges that her husband sent many messages not only to her, but to her relatives and friends derogat ory to her character. When the tele graph company was informed of the suit it dug up from the files several hundred messages which had been sent by Mr. Brokaw. These tele grams, Mrs. Brokaw contends must constitute libels on her not only be cause of their contents, but because the company on accepting them and transmitting their contents through its agents, diseminated the libel. The telegraph company declared that it was not worried by the suit, as no one had yet been able to recover on similar allegations. NOBBY CLOTHIER III MAN'S PRIDE AS VETERAN OVERCOMES HIS SENSE OP RECTITUDE. According to statements by the attorneys Cunningham was 17-year-old when the Civil War started. He was unable to enlist but was so eager to get into the fighting that he fol lowed the one hundred and sixth regiment of New York volunteers to the front. While not regularly enrol led, he actually fought with the regi ment and also saw some service is follower of other commands. Returning home at the end of the wnr, young Cunningham told of his jcxpericm-e in battle. In time he be .came a Grand Army man and year i after year on Memorial Day marched VFVV YORK.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Acting Secretary of War Oliver has forward ed to the Secretary of the Treasury for transmission to Congress at the proper time the general estimates of appropriations necessary for the sup port of the military establishment for the fiscal vtar beginning July 1, 1910. These were made up by the chiefs of j the various bureaus of the War De- j partmcnt and are divided into four j clashes, the civil establishment, the ' army proper, public works and mis-1 ccllancous. The totals are approved in each case, but in a number of instances certain details are held up pending the personnel consideration of Sena tor Dickinson, who is expected to re turn about May 22. ARMY IS COMPLIMENTED. Distinguished German, Officer Quite Candid As To Its Perfection. SEATTLE, May 6.-Major Nilly von Livonius, military attache of the German embassies at Washington and the city of Mexico, who is in the city, says that his purpose here is to visit Forts Flagcr, Casey and Worden and the navy yard at Bremerton. From here he is going to the Yellow stone National Park. Speaking of the American Army, the German officer said: "I have been greatly surprised and pleased not only by the splendid bearing of the American army but also from its strong unit, each' man carrying himself as if he were train ed by long years. The cavalry of the United States is especially efficient and at Forts Riley and Leavenworth Kansas I saw exhibition drills which would astonish the people of Europe could they but see the remarkable understanding between trooper and his mount." strangest cases of pension lrauils on record was revealed in the Federal Court when James Cunningham, for years a prominent Grand Army man offered to plead guilty to the charge of wrongfully accepting money from the Government as a Civil War veteran. The odd feature was that Cunning ham, who is well to do, sought a small pension out of pride and not because he wanted the money. Proud of his reputation as a Grand Army man, his theory was that, with a pen sion, he would obtain certain recog nition as one who had fought for the Union. eral years ago Cunningham was elec ted commander of Devin Post. BRIEF NOTES OP SPORT. Eddie Lennox has made a nice showing so far with the Brooklyn team. The Washington club has asked waivers on Tannchill. Keeley and Shipkc. Al Shaw, the old Chicago Boston catcher, has been sold by Comiskey to Mobile. The Columbia American association team lost their first ten games of the season. t ... i - II - ... J UJ miUULLJULOL Chattanooga, the new South At lantic League team, won the first tlx games of the season. Jesse Burkett's champion Worces ter tram got a bad start in the New England League race. Hell hath no fury like Virginia League fans chasing an umpire to the police station for protection. New York fans are trying to place the blame on Arlie Latham for the re cent Giant defeats. Roasting the old veteran will not get them anything. 'George Edward Wsddell. the heavy comedian of the St. Louis Browns, has been getting his of late. Chi cugo and Cleveland called his number right off the reel. It is said that Ower Watkins of the Indianapolis dub refused a salary of $1000 amonth to Paddy Livingstone and then sold Paddy to the Philadel phia Americans for $2,000. Cy Morgan is battling with a fierce hoodoo. The Boston Red Sox pitch er starts a game in pruity colors, but before the whistle blows some team mate goes to the had and throws the game away.
