Blunk At Salem
Sheriff Pomeroy has returned from

Sheriff Pomeroy says he was con
stantly grumbling against the slight
inconvenience he was compelled to
submit to. Blunk wanted the sheriff
to take the handcuffs off, but this
wasn't done. When the prisoner was
turned over to the penitentiary au
thorities the warden remarked: "Only
one year for seduction; well, you're
the first man we have ever had here
who got so light a sentence for that
crime."
In The Spot-Light
"Old Sol," in , the course of his
swing through the Astoria heavens
yesterday, shot his rays through the
dense canopy of cloud that pre
empted the lower strata hereabout,
and the golden beams fell, with bril
liant and concentric force, squartely
upon the gleaming white hull of the
transport "Sherman" across the bay,
causing her to stand out like a carv
ing in Cararra against the luminous
green-of the Washington hills, and
setting up one of the frequent and
startling pictures, rifle with beauty,
wherein this land and water scape
abounds at given times. Probably her
people were unconscious of the extra
ordinary accent she took in the gen
eral panorama, but no one on this side
of the river could ignore the beauty
and clarity of the picture she made in
the "spot-light."
