A WRITFJR FOR THE ORKGOMAN.
TJ followtnf Mier wu received by
the AMarian yeaterday. The man there
in referred to waa up to about a year ago
employed on the Aatoriaa. Sine b left
lbU city eideu ba oome to 1W4 that
durlmr a cotalderaiile porcion of hit er
vice on the .AaPorUfl he was In the pay
that company's hired spotter on the
moveiients and official actions of the
Aetoria Railroad Company. He has
rtm written many articles abusive of
Astoria and the officers of the Atoria
road for the Oregon Inn. It is entirely
probable that he waa sent to Astoria In
the first Inatvice by the railroad com
buuuiiw to ke-ip tab on jthe oonetru tion
and m if -vm-rvt of the A. A C. railroad.
and that his true relation and character
were well known to the Oregonlan.
WALLOWA. Or.. July 19.-Editor A.
torias: I presume that you notice many
articles in Eastern Oregon papers and
et-iieclilly at the present time from a
Baker City paper roasting Astoria and
lauding the O. R. A 7. I am not sure
but feel quite confident In saying that
nearly all such articles are written by
one W. C. Cowglll, who, I believe, was
formerly In Astoria. Oowgill mlTewe
seotis the sentiment In Eastern Oregon
and mlrepr,sonit it badly. As a matter
of fact, the people of this part of the
state would Hke to have cheaper f re ght
rates over the O. R. A N. to Astoria.
According to Cowgill's story one would
imagine that all Eastern Oregon was in
low with "Oregon's home road."
Cowgtll Is a man of no standing, no
matter where he goes. For some time
he waa tn La Grande, and while there
tilled the columns of a paper which be
was editing, as weM as the columns of
other papers with antKAstotia rot while
in La Grand he seemed to "have
It In" for Astoria and nearly everywhere
he gjea his favxtte method Is to write
up some article denunciatory of Astoria,
which he will try and get published in
the local press.
The lost heard of him h was hv Baker
City and was writing for a well known
republican paper at that place.
While this may appear no business of
mine, I only wtah to say that Cowgill
represeitts the sentiment of no one ex
cepting himself, and if he .iw Hved In
Astoria I presume you know what he Is. j

THE WEEK IN LONDON
(Copyrighted, 1S. by Associated Press,)
LONDON, Jury O. Now that the queen

of the faohiooable world will' soon go

of money to spend for things that are
nece-wary for life. The great auk's egg

guineas and at the same sale a Japinrei
dwarf tree fetched 39 guineas, and other
curiosities we sow for correspondingly
high prions. Tbe beet evidence of the pre

of pkr.ures at the royal academy, the
numbers sold and the prices realised
being far above the average, although
rtie productions were below par.
A sertes of brilliant marriages have
materially assisted business, as ran be
judged by the Hta of costly gifts at the
marriage on Thursday of the Marquis
of Tullibanllne and the daughter of Sir
James Ramsay, which almost rivalled
those of The CrewPrtniroe wedding as
a rich social function. Costly and novel
presents were fairly showered Uwn the
bride and bridegroom. The Priuoe of

Extraordinary disclosures were mad

debt tried at Brack ley. which have aa
Interest for Americans, as they concern
church affairs at flukcrare. Konb
aropursrhire village, which b vWted an
nually by scores of Americans on aeount
c loyal memorials of th WaKMngtxw
family. The parish clerk sued the church
irsritrs fsr tWUlnea. two mom ha'
salary. The debt wa not dejputed. but
the poverty of the church wa pleadVd aa
'the reason for the non-payment of the
pittance. The Judge animadverted
strongly upon the vicar' disgraceful
ocodu-it. adding that there must be
rvalthy American who would have sub.
scribM hundreds of pounds to perpetuate
the memory of Washington if they had
known the parish was so poor.
The beat throughout the week both la
England and on the continent has been
unprecedented. While the mercury baa
not ariroached American records, Ameri
cans who have arrived here recently say
that it Is hotter here than at home. Th
weather has entirely revolutionised th
clothes and habits of Londoners. Their
straw hats are deemed too heavy and In
the city score) of "smart" members of
th stock exchange are to be seen fclv
what Is known as the milkman's bat. .
This article m made of thin white Bnn,
with a broad brts. The clearest evidence '
of tbe heat, however, and one which Im.
presses Englishmen la the fact that in:
certain courts the Judges Informed law-
yers that they could dispense with the
wearing of wigs. The Judicial nermU.
ston was gracefully accepted.
In spKe of the heat the queen on Thurs.
day drove 13 miles to a garden party
bazaar, which the Duchess of Oonnaught'
had organised for the restoration of the
church. The queen visited all the stall
and made numerous purchases at the
American stall, over which the Countess
of Coke and the Countess of Dudler pre.
sided. Her majesty also fasted a real
American sherry cobbler through a
straw. Jaggere, the messenger boy, who
was on duty at one of the stalls, was pre
sented to the queen, who qustloned him
about his American trip.
Americans have been very procinem hi
the entertainments of the week. Mrs.
Ogtlvie Halg. whom the papers describe
aa th? daughter of the queen of New
York society, Mrs. Astor gave her first
London party on Wednesday. Her house
was full of notable people. The same
evening Mrs. Ogtfen Goelet gave a very
select dinner for the Prince of Wales.
Tha Countess of Oxford, formerly
Miss Louise Corbrti of New York, haa
been driving a pair of American thor.

gift of her father, Mr. G. C. Corbln,
The pair cost (4000 and are pronounced
the most perfect to be seen in London.
