The city of Astoria in its zeal to secure an ap
propriation,' a meritorious proposition, for the
fortification of the mouth of the. Columbia river
has released a press agent who dreams. Just the
other morning he awoke and was surprised and
greatly annoyed to find Astoria occupied by a
foreign foe. During the previous night the enemy
with fleet and troops had silently and unheralded
appeared in the harbor when all Astoria was
calmly sleeping under the impression that the
United States was at peace with all the world. If
this is an example of the true state of Astoria's
"unpreparedness", the city had better first get
connected up by telegraph or telephone with the
remainder of the country and the mayor should
subscribe for and read a Portland daily. Then
Astoria would know for at least a week in advance
that a hostile foe was headed in its direction and
could call for volunteers to repel the invaders.
Volunteers in days gone by have been very suc
cessful in this kind of work and can do it again.
When this dreamer ceases to dream for Astoria,
we have no doubt that the gun and powder com
panies will want him to dream in their interest
and make it an object for him to do so. ,

one owaslon he received 500 lashes.
From these horrors he was saved by
the British and returned to freedom.
During his Imprisonment Neufeld
gained a fluent knowledge of Arabic
and an Intimacy with Mohammedan
life and customs known to few whites.
He made pilgrimages in native guise
both to Medina and Mecca. It was at
Medina that his identity was suspect

that he was a Mussulman.
At this time. It is declared, Neufeld
did a service to his country that
