been more perfect and satisfactory in
every way. Kvery one seems to be en
thused with the true spirit of the beat
month of the year, and countless picnics,
which seem to lie the favorite amuse
ment, makes every day a busy one. The
crowd does not seem to be diminishing
and the rumor that the Potter is to re
main on her run for two weeks longer
is hailed with delight by every one, as
the season will undoubtedly extend
much later on account of the thousands
of yisitors to the fair.
The lighthouse is being greatly ap
preciated as a picnic center. The ad
vantages of early athletic training, such
as football and basketball, are demon
strated daily, when the steamer Nah
cotta, which carries 125 passengers, is
met by some 250, would-be passengers, i
each of whom is determined to get down
the gangplank before the clicker regis
ters the fatal number. The chagrin of
later comers is somewhat soothed by the
fact that a tug which carries the over
flow occasionally reaches Astoria ahead
of the other boat, which makes two steps
on the war.

A picnic from the Sea Craft visited

STREET FAKERS ABOUND.
The day is now upon us when the
"speir of the 'barker'' is heard abroad
over the city and the guilable, of which
there are many, are relieved of their
loose 50-cent pieces. In return for which
they receive $18 worth of diamond shirt
studs, rings, pencils and many other
things thrown in with a fountain pen of
priceless worth?
This seems hard to the legitimate mer
chants of the city who pay taxes, but
they should be consoled by the thought
that suckers will bite and that in biting
they are invariably bitten.

Henrickson, charged with selling liquor

In his hurry to accompany his brother
to Portland, Dr. Bay lis II. Earle was
forced to leave the city precipitously and
did not have time to remove his uni
