Attsxds to His Own Busman. The demand that Mr. Hammond "ehow hla bend'' made by some people in Astoria, does not necessarily follow that Mr. Hammond will accede to the demand.

Oregon City Enterprise. Thb Air Ship at Last. All Cali fornia has been talking this past week about a mysterious air ship which, it is alleged, baa been seen at Sacra mento, San Francisco, Oakland, Marin county, San Jose and elsewhere. lie first appearance wee noted at Saora mento Tuesday night of. last week, when it was seen hovering over the city, casting ita searchlight about from an elevated position. No less thsn a score of reputable people assert that they saw it distinctly, and at least two men, supposed to be truthful, are able to describe its appearance. One heard ita occupants singing in chorus, and another beard ita captain give di rection to ateer away from a church steeple. In spile of this specifio testi mony, most people believe the air ship to be a hoax, though its existenoe is claimed to be a faot by a very credita ble witness, namely, Mr. George B. Collins. According to Mr. Collins' story tbe inventor ie an Eastern man ol wealth, and hie sbip, which is about 160 feet long, waa built in a retired forest plaoe near Oroville. He is, he says, the attorney for the inventor, and be asaerte positively that the sbip aailed last week from Oroville to thie city, passing over Sacramento, and that it has made nightly voyages in the region rouud about 8an Fran cisco since that time. It la now near Oakland carefully guarded and will soou be aailed in broad daylight over San Francisco, and will hover in sight of everybody over the most thickly populated part of the uity.
