The dog la a cros betwetn a "Yallur" and a cur dog, but I par- , tlculnrly bright and affectionote. Ham let "joined out" with the show at New Westminster last s.aaon of his own' volition. The dog wna noticed around ' the tent alt day with a "wiah-I-waa-1 In-the-hhow" look In his eye- After the performance In the evening when the m.-n were Ion. ling the cars, they f und Hamlet seated on the front steps of the buggugo car. They tried to make hhn go uway but he determinedly remained ; whr he was seated and the endeav ors of the men to get him to go were of no avail; so a a last resort they placed him Inside with the other dog oiors. Hamlet made friends of hi canine companions und was aoon the favorite of nil the attaches. He was taken in hand by Professor Norrls and he showed a willingness and aptitude for learning tricks that waa nothing short of phenominal. Hamlet Is now one of the atar performer with Nor rls & Rowe's show. Unlike the other dogs he I given the freedom of the tents; can go and come when he pleases, but Hamlet never abusca the trust and confidence put In him. He Is a great dog and no mistake.

In ARE PUSHING IT ALONG. Fourth of July Committee Receiving Great Encouragement in It Preliminary Work. Chnlrman Wise and hi committee of hustlers are on the warpath. They are cleaning up the musketry and piling up ammunition; o look out for a rat tling old-fashioned celebration. Citi zens all over town are offering sug gvstlofi, which shows that the peo pls are taking an Intereat In the mat ter. It has been suggested that the com mittee offer a handsome flag to the town or settlement receiving the larg est number of votes. In a content, on the Fourth of July ; some also be lieve that the Goddess of Liberty should be elected by ballot, subscrib er to be permitted to cast one vote fr each fifty cent subscribed. The committee la considering the ad visability of ordering streamer to be made, which, with the consent of the owner of steamboat plying between Astoria and outlying towns, are to be placed on the flag-pole, where every body can read the fact that Astoria will celebrate the Fourth. Such streamers on the Uatrert and Hassalo would undoubtedly attract the atten tion of the people living along the river and cloth advertisements, taut ened to either one of the cars or loco motive of the passenger trains, would lo similar service with the people along the line of the railroad. An effort will be made to have the commanding of ficers ot Fort Steven and Fort C'anby bring over i strong detachment of Un tie Sam's brave defenders, to partici pate In the monster parade and to fire the salute. Elaborate floats will b made one of the features of the parade. No other place on the river lias as yet decided to celebrate, and It only requires the prompt and cheerful res ponse of enterpriHlng Aatorlaiis to rr-akc the celebration a howling suc cess. The general committee will meet again tomorrow night to compare notes ard to lay in a new supply of vim and enthusiasm. In the "Note and Comment" column of yesterday's Oregonlan appeared sev erai Utile references to tho lack of Interest In a Fourth of July celebra tion on the pr.rt of Portland busi ness men- The Astoria committee, therefore, very promptly sent an In vitation to the editor of the Oregonlan, and, through him, to all the 'people of the metropolis, to Join Astoria In one grand festival. The committee stated that inasmuch aa Astoria has aaalsted Portland for Beverul successive seasons in her cele bration, the -people of this city would appreciate it very much if their Port land cousins returned the compliment by celebrating with the people of Ore gon's great seapcrt. The committee stated that the fares were low and spirits high, and sug gested that Portland people appoint an honorary committee to act with the committee In this city. WAS A GRAND SUCCESS. Republican Candidates Magnlflclently Received at Knappa Lost Night. The people of Knappa turned out In force lout night to greet the republican candidates. The Knappa hall was filled long before the meeting was call ed to order and the hearty enthusiasm displayed clearly shows where the eo pl of that place are in this campaign Professor John C. McCue made the principal speech of the evening, fol lowed by Sheriff Llnvllle, Dan J. In galls and other county candidates. The tenor of the arguments made was that in the past few years the republicans of Clatsop county had not only given the people a most efficient service but had, at the same time, greatly reduc ed the running expenses of the county. A grand rally will be held at Chad well tomorrow evening, when nearly all of the republican candidates will be present THE NEXT VICE-PRESIDENT. This Is the question now agitating the minds of our leading politicians, and while several prominent men have ben suggested, the final selection will undoubtedly be the man who will serve the party Interests to the best ad vantage.

The i languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seductive while It lasts, but ! many have decided that the an ' nual outing should provide not only ' radical change of air and surround- lugs, but also such stimulation of j lugging energies as will provide brawn j and vigor for the return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, and the clear, unadulterated mountain air. "Li thia ilrection the Shasta Route now affords a wealth of attractions. The entire line of road from Ashland to Redding is studded with charming and accessible hotels and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reasonable cost and where you can hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with equal facility- "Or If you look for healing waters, none better can be found, hot or cold, than the springs of Ashland, Colestin, Anderson, Dartlett, Byron and Paso Robles.
