THAT LETTER,

Editor Astoiian;-
The letter ~ Mayor Taylor and the
comments OF other prominent citizens
are all To the point These expressions
are we'll calculated TO show the outside
world hoW the people who have the best
intrests OF Astoria at heart regard Mr.
Ham nond and his various enterprises
here. The blackguardism and Infamous
assaults of the Budget and Herald up
on not only Mr. Hammond. but other
capitalists he is trying 10 interest In
the situation here deserve the outspok-
en condemnation OF all decent people.
We have reached stage OF affairs now
where forbearance has ceased tn be a
virtue, and II these pests are to be- ef-
fectually suppressed something besides
letter writing should now be done. 1t
has always been mystery to me what
these filthy yultures expect to gain by
their course OF fouling the nest which
harbOrs them. II may be that they

our people at last thoroughly aroused
and determined to rid the city Of the
disgrace and menace Of their proceed

In Medieval DAYS

When people wanted anything they
knelt down and prayed for it How
ever. that was some time ago. Along
about 400 n fellow named Guton-
berg. who had come dc Rhine
over" was monkeying around
carpenter shop In LcntE lie whit
tied some little blocks and actually
made an alphabet Then no rugged
u sort of-well. machine that
would look something like our let
ter press OF today. He ARRANGED
his blocks in order. put some Ink
on item, also piece OF paper. ana
then screwed his press down. That
was called printing. Old Gutenberg
made a bowling success OF the
racket. and his head became so
swollen that he really snubbcd the
king ono day. The king overlooked
II. however, for he had an idea
what kind OF fellows printers would
be. Well. finally they got tho print
ing system down pat, and. rs the
centuries rolled by. began printing
newspapers-tirst person. invariably
singular number. any gender and
hard case.

reporter failed to lrarn-took place a
most enjoyable entertainment Monday
Afternoon. The show was rather mix

acrobatic work and parachute jumping.
Master Earl Case walked u tight
rope, winning for himself the admira-
ton Of the vast audience. With an
other young man. re also appeared to

Harry Wheeler rendered harmonica
solo and later captivated the audience
with several choice selections from u

interesting event OF late many people
living in the vicinity OF st. Mary's
Catholic church have missed sheets
from their houses, and the cause OF
their disappearance had remained a
mystery until yesterday, when it was
noticed that the parachute was made
Of a sheet. Ever since Weston Dag
gett fell from the skies parachute
jumping has been a fad with the small
boy. The reason for the postponement
Of the parachute jump is best explained
by the announcement made by Han
ager Easter Welch to the disappointed
audience. II was as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: Owing to
the fact that the individual from whose
house the sheet which composes the
parachute was taken has recovered his
property, that event must Of necessity
be acquired. Another drawback arises
in the fact that some unprincipled indi-
vidual has entered the back room dur
ing the course Of the entertainment
and eloped with the balloon"
The admission price yesterday was
cents and the house was crowded.
Next Saturday afternoon another per-

Sovey's parachute jump will take place.
