The Norwegians will celebrate
Grand concert and entertainment at
Fishers' opera house May IT. In com
memoration of the Norwegian dec la.
ration ot Independence, 1814.
rhr do the Norwegians want to
celebrate their old country Independ
ence day anyway. Haven't we out
own dear Fourth of July and ts not
that good enough for them?
Tea. wh7 do they!
And why do the Irishmen ceWbrate
St. Patrick's day and the Dane the 6th
of June and the Germans the day of
Sedans, and the French the 15th of
June, and so forth, and so on! AH
thins considered; It Is a credit to
these people that they celebrate these
days which for one reason or otner
have become dear to them. So far as
the Norwegian la concerned, I know
that the dearest day to him Is the
Fourth of July and then the 17th of
May. And why?
Listen!'
In February, 18H. the holy alUance
forced King Fredrick VI of Denmark
and Norway to renounce his rights to
Norway; and to release his Narweglan
subjects from their oath of allegiance
to him. The presumption was that
the king ot Sweden should very almply
take the king-forsaken Norwegians a
his subjects. In consideration of this
brilliant prospect the king of Sweden
transferred to Denmark the last of
Swedent possessions In Germany since
the 80-year war, the province ot
Pomerania,
Unfortunately for this arrangement
tha KnrweirliLns obiectod. claiming
that when the Vlng had released them
from their allegiance to him, he had
rone to thet limit of his power and
for the rest they were able to think and
act for themselves. A constitutional
convention was called, which on May
17 declared Norway to be a free and
indpnendpnr klnsdom and adopted a
constitution, which was then, and with
la top amendments, still Is the most
lltteral and democratic tn Europe, save
none. It Is a well recognised fact that
In manv ways It was framed after the
constitution ot the United States.
To enforce the treaty to klel the
Swedish! crown, prince-elect, Charles
John, the i former French marshal.
Beruadotte, then invaded Norway with
40,000 men. Against him the Nor
wegtans had 25,000 men in the first
iin nml 10.000 reserves. The main
Swedish army gained a few slight ad
vantages and the Norwegian king.
Christian Fredrick, tn spite of protest
from officers and soldiers avoided a
ba tie and retreated. But the second
Swedish army under General Gahn,
was repeatedly defeated, taken prls
oners or put to flight The position of
Charles John was not altogether en
viable. A large part of the Swedish no
bility was openly hostile to him; the
Allied powers, which had bought hid
support against,' Napoleon for spot
cash, didn't show any tender feelings
for the promised Prussian and Russian
reinforcement seemed to be forgotten.
TmntMllflfelv after Gen. Gahn'S de
feat Charles John suggested an ar
mistice, duilng Which It was agreed
that Norway should be united with
Sweden as a free and sovereign king
dom under the kind of Sweden, who
should swear allegiance to the consti
tution of Norway with such changes
as the union made necessary. On No
vember 4 the union act was ratlfkd by
the Norwelglan storthinjr and the
Swedish negotiators, and the Swed
ish king was elected king of Norway
the treaty to klel by this act becomlna
null and void., A Joint committee was
then appointed to arrange for the com
mon inter t and relations and In the
following year the Interstate act was
adopted by both countries. From this
It will be easily ,understoo4 why the
Norwegian Independence day is dear to.
Norwegians wherever theM may be
like the father of our dear adopted
country, our fathers fought for their
liberty and their constitution, an J
therefore we want all good people to
join with us tn celebrating the Nor
we&ian Fourth of July. '

Runaways In AstoHa Xri Beeomtng
i .Too Froa-ont for Safety.
! There wore three runaway' In As
toria jreatorday an4 "two the day be
fore On arm' tam run away on
oach day and a M. a driver for
4 local nrra had a narrow rap from
being killed. Without attaching the
blame to anyone, attention la calleo
to ordinance No. 182. which 1 not.
aevwr ha and probably never will be
enforced. It provides as follows:
Section 1. It shall be unlawful tor
ny owner' .employ, or driver of any
team consisting of wsgon, buggy,
back, eiprea wagon, eaniag or other
vehicle, drawn by one or more horses
or mules, to permit or allow said team
tn his charg or under his control, to
stand upon any of th streets of th
City ot Astoria, without Brat securely
fastening and securing the same, to as
to prevent runaway
The ordinance provide for a fine
and Imprisonment for a violation of
the ordinance. While tt occaslonallj
occur that runaway are caused by
some accident over which the driver
has no control, yet the frequency of
runaways appeals for some remedy.
A prominent cltlsen states that tne
cause of moat of the runaways Is on
account of employing young and In
'experlenced drivers, and at the end of
the year, many business houses couli
save money by employing competent
men who understand handling horses.
Another matter in this connection Is
the practice of fast and furious driv
ing through the streets, Indulged in.
I principally by young boys, which t

A meeting of the Knights of the

concern were discussed. The Question
of-Clatsop county mnklng an exhibit
at the L-.'wIs and Clark fair wat
brought up .and the following letter
was ordered Issued, for the purpose of
awukenlng an Interest In making an
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair:
Astoria, Ore., May 6, 1905.
To the Cltiaens and Tax Payers of th
City of Astoria and Clatsop County,
Oregon:
Noting the fact that the city and
county have made no effort towards
an exhibit of their resources at the
Lewis A Clark exposition, and being
the second city and county In wealth
and population In the state, therefore.
If not for the reason of showing enter.
prise, a suitable exhibit of th resour
ces of this section should be made.
The Knights ot the Royal Arch, an
organisation composed entirely of
business men and tax payers of this
(county, will donate the sum of 1300 to
a fund for the purpose above stated.
We believe that this matter Is of most
vital Importance to every cltlsen of
Clatsop county.

Cause of Death.
A. a Blrnle of Oalhlamet recently
lust a valuable Jenwy cow which dlej
quite suddenly. The Skamokawa fiugl
says: ,
A rxisti-mortem ex:tUnlnatloni d-W-
closed that she had gotten outside of
about 15 fathoma of ball-rope, a sec
tion of barbed wire fence (without th
posts) and three copies of the Appeal
to Reason," the approximate cause of
Its death being the latter, as It stopped
circulation, diminished the heart's ac
tion and caused cirrhosis of the liver
and incipient paresis."
And yet there are some people who
believe In municipal ownership or
cows.
