THE .MORNING ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. MONDAY, JULY 30, toofl. S IN COUNTY COURT What Happens to Astoria's Vag rant Canines. Report of Proceedings for Month of July. y UR VAGRANT DOG POUNDM.4STER IS A BUSY MAN Sine the Beginning of the Year One Hundred and Eleven Dogs Have Been Licensed Few Doga Leave Pound Alive. REGULAR BILLS ARE ALLOWED To become a vagrant is probably the vort fate that can possibly befall man or beast. While it frequently happen that man is in tlii claaa by force of circumstances, it is generally accepted that his condition is one of choice. He has lost his grip on society and does pot care about securing another hold. That is where he differs so greatly from the dog. recognized as man's best friend. It is safe to say that no dog is a vagrant through choice. He may have become an outcast and be may be receiving many a hard knock from the omel world, but that does not sour his disposition against society. In spite of his misfortune he remains of a sanguine temperament and while wandering along the rock rviad of vagrancy he keeps one eye open for a home. But a dog cannot remain a vagrant with impunity any more than a man can. The law is very kind to the man, and usually permit him to work for his board, even if this is in durance vile. But with the dog it is quite an other story. When he falls into the hands of the authorities, it means but a little respite, and then it is a plunge below the surface of the water, a bullet or a sleep that is made eternal with gas. The vagrant dog continues to be one or the problems of civilization and, to gether with other cities, Astoria has to face it every year. The problem is par ticularly a besetting one during the months known as dog days the warm days, when there is danger of canines going mad and distributing germs of death. 1 ;j j,r: ;; .v1 r- Dog a Homelike Creature. '- Just why there should be so many vagrant dogs in a city can only be at tributed to the ungratefulness of man. Nearly every dog was born into a home, and appears to be of the opinion that it is entitled to some place of abode. Dogs may be all right for a while with some people, but the time frequently comes when it is felt that the animal is a nuisance, and every inducement is made to have him shift for himself if it is not possible to bestow him upon some dear friend. The dog will return to its old home daily, but a kindness and keep are no longer forthcoming, he is forced to seek other hearts. But man is not prone to extend kindness and comfort to any animal that can not present a pedigree, and the result 1 that the animal remains a wanderer on the face of the earth until he dies from starvation or is taken in by the dog catcher, carted off to the pound, and after a certain number of hours of grace is killed. The vagrant dog is usually known by the fact that he does not wear a license tag. Any person who own, a. dojg that he thinks anything of is only too glad to pay $2.50 each year to insure County Court For Clatsop Completes Its Report For JulyMuch Busi ness Is Done Road Mat ters Are Considered.
