There are many who are grumbling and growling be- 1 a one the railroad rompany ha not yet e.-i-n Hi to let the eontract for the main line, one g.-ntli-man who I a well known ral ealate man, Mr. C. C. Van Kuril. .ut matter very teraely. H as Id: "For my part I ay. let th railroad take care of lla.-lf. W know that It wilt be built within the limit of tb contract time; we know that Mr. Ham mond ha all arrangement made to that end; w. know that hs I amply able to carry out every contract that he makea. on hi ow n personal reapon- alblllty. What difference due It make who are hla aaeoilate. or Juat what minute work will commence on the main line? It la a physical Impossi bility to complete the road this year. and It would have been Impossible to put It In running order, even had con- atructlon commenced three months ag . Mr. Hammon.l and hla associate know what they are doing, and It will be round, when all Is known, thnt they have done the beat and wheat thing, both for the railroad company and for the community at large. There are many delicate questions lo tie settled, and It Is much wiser to carefully con sider every point and lay the founda tion for a subalantlal superstructure. "Work Is rapidly prugreaaing through the city; w will have the trains run ning between this side and the western peninsula In a few days, and when the time comes the whole line will be In operation, doubtless In good season for nekt year' wheat crop. What are we doing on our part to supplement the work of the railroad company and make It possible In the shortest spare of time to develop to the fullest ex tent th resources of which this port I capable? Now la the tlm for every business man and every property own er to take such steps as will put him In a position unassailable In the fu ture, if we do something for ourselves now and show Eastern capitalist, whom we ;xpect to make Investments here, and promote manufacturing en terprises, that we want something more than a mushroom grow th and the mere opportunity of selling a few town lots at fancy prices, we will do more than we could by spending thousands In mere vaporing about our advan tages, towards establishing that solid business and supremacy In commerce w hich belong to us and which la the one prime object nil right thinking men hould work for. , "No, we are muklng- a mistake. In not at once taking hold of the wheel and making some effort to bring about our own success. Never mind about depots and contracts. They will all come about In due course of time, and now Is our tlnic to make a good start for prosperity." COMMITTKE HAS RESIGNED. Funds Cannot He Raised for the Re gatta and Firemen" Tournament. At the meeting held last night In the athletic club rooms to consider the question of holding a regatta, there wo a lorge attendance of the various committees In charge of affairs. The football committee, the regatta com mittee and the reception committee were fully presented. A full discussion, of the matter was had from every point of view on business principles, and ac tion was only taken after careful con sideration of the who subject In all Its bearings. After canvassing the ground thor oughly the resignation of the regatta committee was accepted. This com mittee reported that they had care fully covered the whole territory and had thoroughly Investigated the situa tion. They stated that In their oprhton, under the present conditions of busi ness, and In view of the fact that the firemen's tournament had already been arranged for about the same time, which event alone would require the outlay of more than a thousand dollars It would be 'Impossible to raise the ad ditional um necessary for the regatta In lieu of holding a regatta It was decided to concentrate all effort tow' ard making a fitting reception for the battleship dr'-gon when ah rhtll arrive In Oregon water! to receive the silver service to be prsented by the state. To that end President Kendall apHlnt ed the following coinmltteo to take charge of the affair: Collector C. H. Page, chairman; Mayor 1". J. Taylor, I'ri-sldHiit O. Wlngate, of the Chamber of Commerce, Ir. M. M. Walker, and th Hon. C. W. Fulton. Ir. Walker will leave for Portland today, where he will confer with the Chamber of Commerce and reception committee of that city. F.ntortalninents are to lie given this week In Portland for the purpose of raising the balnnce of the tiecesaary funds. The affair Is one which Interest the entire state, and It Is only proper and becoming -that the presentation should be made In Oregon waters. Astoria and Portland will work together harmoniously In this, aa well as In other matters of the future, and no one can duobt the result. MOTHERLESS INSTITUTIONS. (Harriet Taylor Upton.) . In most states In this union women cannot be appointed trustees of public Institutions, because such trustees must be elector. There have been men who kept house for themselve or had only men ser vants In their bachelor quarters, and yet neither they, nor their friends ever thought of these house or flats as homes: men have kept house but they never have made homes. , Women are the home-maker and home-keepers. Thl characteristic of woman Is Just as Important In the state a In the family. Men would think It a grave error if no one but women served on the board of trustees of soldiers' homes. If only women were physicians in. and superintendents of such homes. The writer smiles as she Imagines what a furore would be created If all public Institutions should suddenly be taken out of men's hands and put Into wom en's. No woman would want such a tnlng to hapen. The writer believes that all public Institutions, schools, libraries, lunatic asylums, soldiers- homes, etc., should have women trustees, directors, or whatever the term may be, for such, omepj-a, . but - she . Is a little more rudlcul than many wotuen. How ever, she ramiot see how any woman can cease from making effort to have women trustees on boards of all public Institutions, where women and children live, whether It Is a lunatic asylum or a children's home. A most pitiable sight Is a number of motherless chil dren, whose father alone is trying to plan for their future. Vet Just such a man who knows that some woman must help him out with his family cares, does not seem to think that the prin ciple applies as well to the state. In many state women have besieg ed legislatures until boards of visitors have been appointed. These boards, however, have neither responsibility nor authority. They visit the Institu tion when they are expected and must report or make suggestions In writing to the trustees. The trustees need take no notice of such report. They occupy about such a position as a formal caller would to the motherless family above mentioned. Such a caller might be sympathetic and Interested but her help -would be of little value because of the relation she bore to the family. The writer doubts If a board of visitors does any good except to accustom men to seeing women about such Institutions and to accustom women to serve on such boards. The time Is surely coming when wom en and men will serve together as trus tees, then will all the details of the home be understood by all the members of the board. Then will woman' ten derness, her mother heart be felt, then will many unfortunate women and chil dren be happier and healthier. Then will the state find that the small econ omies which women practice In the home will be practiced In the state. THE NEW MOON. An old bachelor and a new woman were out promenading last night. "Isn't this a lovely moonlight night, Miss Freshley?" "Yes, and so romantic, Mr. Lovltt; see how the slim cloudy lines cross his majestic brow as though the man In tho moon were angry at our being out so late." "And do you notice. Miss Freshley, how strangely fantastic those small trees on Coxcombe Hill seem to en circle the moon's face, making It ap pear as though he had grown side whiskers since his lust appearance?" "Ah, nie, If Herman Wise could 011 W see thlr grand moon,'.' said the new woman; ''I'm sure he would never go to Bleep until he had put a poster on the moon advertising his special $11.50 suit sale and the picnic he gives to his customers on the 26th of July." THE FOURTH AT OLNET. The celebration and picnic will be held In Kamm'a grove, at Olney. Ar rangements have been completed to assure a good time., L Steamer Mayflower will leave on the morning of the Fourth for Olney. J. BUTT, A.. NORMAND, B. DUNKIN, H.

MULTNOMAH WINS EASILY Calitnriiis Not I tke Gasie it Asy Stage Olvsipus Will Have to Hid Bet ter Material Astoria Tar lijtaed the Wlaier. The result of the athletic games J n Portland yesterday was the source of unbounded enthusiasm on the part of local athlete yesterday, and large crowds swarmed continually around the Astorian's bulletin board. When the news came that Tallant had won the mile, the enthusiasm of the anxious watchers was only exceeded by the noise made in expressing It. But when the news of "Billy's" half-mile vic tory wa received the crowds went wild. Pitted a he was against such a man a Brown a man to whom an easy victory was conceded In either the half or the mile Tallant' performance was splendid; In fact, it was wonderful. The Olympic relied greatly on Brown and Edgren for the events In which they were entered, and, having Port land men to compete against, Edgren did his work; but Brown caught a Tar tar. Portland athlete conceded two seconds In his races, never dreaming he would show his heels to the Call fornian; but once again the Astorlan has demonstrated his wonderful strength. Ther Is considerable satisfaction In the thought that the great city of Port land had to send to Astoria for a man to win two races. There is still more satisfaction In the fact that Tallant broke the Pacific coast record In the mile. He has made better time than I-OtS in the half, but was not com pelled to yesterday. But the great Cal Ifornlan's scalp Is dangling at Will's belt, and the city of Astoria Is truly proud of her speedy son. The performance of little Bert Ker rigan was the most wonderful of the day. Bert Is only a "kid" not yet 20 years of age; weighs 12 pounds and stands 5 feet ( Inches. Tet that little chunk of humanity won his three events. His high Jump of ( feet 2 Inches was marvelous. Some time ago he Jumped ( feet, breaking the P. N. A. record, and the athletes of the state started at him In wonder. There must have been all kinds of enthusiasm let loose when little Bertie made that 4-foot-2 Jump. He also won the running broad Jump and the pole vault. In the broad Jump he covered 20 feet 11 Inches. Johnson, who was entered for this event, has cleared 21 feet 8 Inches, It is said, but was In no condition yes terday. Still, that fact does not lessen little Bertie's honors. Bert has a large number of warm friends In this city who were overjoyed at his wonderful work. Portland. June 27. -The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, of this city. won from the Olympic Athletic Club, of San Francisco, today. In the athletic games, by a score of 57 to 44. Never In the hltsotry of this city has there been such a large and enthusias tic crowd at field sports. The import ance of the games brought out thous ands, and the performances of the day fully warranted the attendance. There were thirteen events, and of those the Mutnomahs took nine first places. Two Pacific coast records were broken, those of the running high Jump and the mile run. Bert Kerrigan, the youthful Multnomah man, and W. C. Patterson, of the Olympics, each cleared the bar In the running high Jump at t feet 2 inches, which breaks the former record of 6 feet, held by Kerrigan. The Olympic man refused to Jump off the tie and Kerrigan was given first place. In the mile run Will E. Tallant, the Astoria giant, made a wonderful race, and broke the Pacific coast record by 2 seconds, making the pille In 4 min utes Sl seconds. His performance was marvelous and the great crowd went wild as he came down the home stretch far In the lead of his opponent. There was much speculation as to the outcome of this event, and the result caused unbounded enthusiasm. The performance of Bert Kerrigan was also wonderful, and he won the three events In which he competed. He was the smallest man In the games and this served to increase the en thusiasm over his victories. His high Jump was better than anticipated by the most sanguine, and the little fel low received a great ovation. Following Is a summary of the differ ent events: Running high Jump Bert Kerrigan, Multnomah, won; 6 feet 2 Inches; W. C. Patterson, Olympic, second; 4 feet 2 inches. One hundred yard dash A. L.

Whit ney today gave out the following In formal Interview: "What are th chance for sound money in Chicago T' "Unless the (ituatlon changes and our Southern and" Western friend are disposed to reason with u. do chance whatever." ( "What do yon hear from the South and West?" "Judging by letter I receive, there Is no apparent disposition to discuss the matter at issue. I fear It has gone beyond that point.' "Have you asked Senators Gorman and Brice to attend the convention tu a party duty?" "No; they have no reason to believe they could accomplish anything. Nona of us have." ; "If a free coinage candidate is nom inated on a free coinage platform, what will be the result?" "Practically, it wilt disrupt the Dem ocratic party. No power on earth can coerce or persuade sound money Dem ocrats to forsake the fundamental principle of Democracy. They do not regard this question as either factional, sectional or political. The maintenance of the. nation's credit la a matter of national honor." "Then you do not look for a com promise?". "Compromise is Impossible. Debase ment of the currency would be more than monstrous in effect. It would be an abandonment of principle. It would disgrace every citizen. It would be not merely dishonest: It would be dishon orable; and you cannot compromise a question of honor." "What do you expect to do in Chi cago V "Do everything, in our power to save the party and protect the country. The j crisis which has come upon us Is the I moat serious menace to national proe ! perity and the welfare of the people since 1840. This is a time when all men who love their country must stand to gether to avert if possible, publlo dis grace and the wreck of hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the en tire country." "You do not despair of success, then?" . "No; we cannot tell how the attitude of Eastern Democrats will affect the determination of Southern and West ern. Democrats, who have not known until within the past week how streng ths feeling here Is. A vigorous ex pression of our position may cause hes itation, especially among the rank and file of the Democracy, who we cannot belief, want to drive all Eastern Dem ocrats out of the party. I know some of the leaders assume that attitude, but I am not yet convince that the people are behind them, and, if not they will make their wishes known and felt4' MARKET REPORTS.

As railroad service is to be instituted between Astoria and Seaside In a short time, it has been decided that mall ser vice shall be established over the route, which has heretofore been a star route. Assistant Superintendent Vallle, of the railway mall service, has gone to Astoria to make the necessary ar rangements for the service. This will be a great accomodation to visitors at the seaside during the season, as It la probable It will put a stop to the complaints about poor mall service which have heretofore been so numer ous from people staying at the beach.
