A No. : Has Again Arrived

Travelling just for the love of
travel and never conrented for any
length of time in one place, \ No. /.
the noted globe girdler and famous
traveller, has reached Canon City.
1t lacks but a few days to make it
just three years since he was here
last. Nearly every conductor and
engineer in the country has hesrd Of
A No /, and many of them have met
him while he has been on his travels.
He carries neither gr,p nor bundle and
is yet withal always neatly attirsd.
He pays no railroad, no steamboat,
fares, nor does he travel IN box cAr.,
nor is he ever stowaway His sim
is travel always, always, always, to
visit as many different sections and
places as possible; and to make his
living wherever he goes. His methods
only in a slight degree touch. those ef
tramp, and he has no use for this
genus homo, nor does he associate
with tramps. Last Friday he met
one at Pueblo and lectured him on his
dirty appearance and uncouth manner.
Ever since A No. was eleven years
of age he has been travelling and has
peregrinations extend over period OF
nearly twenty years. Why he does
it he cannot explain. He says he feels
continually impelled with a desire to
go on and on, and expresses a. doubt
as to his ever being otherwise.
Short in stature. quick in his mo-
tions and of robust appearance. the
famous traveller is most interesting
conversationalist and can converse
fiuently in four Languages. His anee-
dotes and experiences are not only
amusing and interesting, bat in many
cases decidedly thrilling. He earns
money wherever he goes and always
puts up at good hotel and enjoys a
good meal. He never sleeps in bed.
When lie goes to sleep it is either
stretched out on the hard floor or else
seated in a chair. During the early
years of his travels he learned how. to

carving and when the notion strikes
him to remain a couple of days at a
place he will rapidly and dextrously
carve letters for signs His most in
teresting work, however, is that of
taking potatoes, beets, carrots or tur-
nips and fashionlng curious forms and
shapes out of them by carving the
surfaces The special fayorite design
is that of an Indian head After the
vegetable root or tuber has been carved
it is painted in grotesque manner.
Then the painted carving is subjected
for short time to bath, which not
only permanently fixes the colors, but
also petrifies the vegetable growth and
makes a unique article, valuable as a
souvenir or as an ornament for the
library or for collection of novelties.
Colorado is his favorite country and
he always enjoys coming back to this
state and calls Canon City his head
quarters in the west, where he is we'll
known and has many friends.
A No. has never revealed his real
name and although his parents are
living in San Francisco, his name has
never been learned, He is recognized
as the champion train beater of the

TIL city council should carefully con-
slider local conditions before expend-
ing large sum Of money for repairs
to the present city hall. The building
has outlived its usefulness and there is
crying need for new quarters. 1t is es-
timated that repairs to the structure
will necessitate an outlay of fully $1,000,
which is three times the value Of the
building. No thorough business man
would make any such expenditure, and
there is no reason why the council, act-
ing for the people of the city, should
do so. A new city hall is needed, and
steps should be taken to provide it,
Expenditure of funds on the present
tumbled-down shack would be waste
of public money.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1903-12-16
MONEY WELL SPENT.

The ways and means committee of
the common council has offered an Or
dinance fixing tax levies on the 1903
roll Among the items is half-mill
tax for the Astoria public library,
which will net $3.50. This sum will
place the deserving library on a sub
stantial footing and no one will be-
grudge it the small sum thus provided.
Few of us appreciate the vast
amount Of good that is accomplished
by the library. More than 10000 people
visited it last year, and for those stud
ious persons who have no other place
to spend their evenings 1t is an indis-
pensible institution. 1t Is likewise a
rare educator, placing within the reach
of all the very latest works of the
brightest writer's and deepest think
ers of the present and past ages A
public institution, 1t must necessarily
depend upon the public for support.
Its requirements are small, 1t is true,
but the Woodworking ladies who have
managed its affairs have been sorely
pressed at times for the funds neces-
sary To maintain the library. They
have worked increasingly for it, and
the community owes. to them a debt
Of thanks which the special levy only
partially wipes ut,
The money thus provided by the
council will go far towards paying the
expenses of the library, and the action
of the municipal body is to be COM
mended. The $3.50 which is to be paid
by the owners of $1,7O0,0OO worth of
property will be spent in a worthy
cause.

Canada, having defeated the Ameri-
can contention that Bering sea is a
mare clausum, now advances the con-
tention that Hudson bay, 1000 miles
long and 600 miles wide, and having an
entrance so wide that no one can see
across it, is an inland water over which
Canada has exclusive jurisdiction, says
the Post-Intelligencer American
whaesmen have been resorting to the
bay forever since the foundation of
this government; but Canada proposes
to "shoo' them out of it with gun
boat. The Alaska boundary commits
sion is evidently destined to have a
successor; and Canada another cause of
complaint against the imperial author

The marked strenuosity of the stu
dents of the university of Washington,
who have taken to shooting at each
other and throwing one another into
Lake Union, bound hand and foot,
should receive the vigorous attention OF
the authorities. Strange as it may up
pear the average lad upon entering
college develops form of insanity that
is much more dangerous than the real
thing. The freshman studies out the
most effective manner of depriving the
sophomore of his rights, and the soph-
omore retaliates in kind. The action
of the Washington university students
in binding felow-Students hand and.
foot and throwing them into the lake
is akin to murder, and the crime should
be dealt with just as other similar
crimes committed outside the colleges
are dealt with. If this sort of thing
continues, it will soon become neces-
sary to maintain penitentiaries in con-
nection with our leading institutions of
learning.

Multnomah can not bear to acknowl-
edge defeat. The big Portland club has
had things its own way so long that
the defeat of its representatives is a
bittnr pill. Multnemah should realize
that other clubs are apt to develop star
athletes. 1t has always been the policy
of the Portland club to take from the
smaller clubs their best men, that all
the honors of victory might go to it.
This selfish policy has greatly hurt
amateur sport, and few drubbings
would do world Of good. If Multno-
NAH will but say the word, Astoria
Commercial will send forth its eleven
to meet the first team of the Portland
club, with all due regard for the pro-
prieties Of amateur sport and for the
of the superior beings con-
stituting the management.

TWO MORE SHIPS.

Oregon's barley exports for the seas
on to date have already amounted to
over 100000 bushels, the largest amount
ever shipped from here in a correspond
ing period. The latest additions to the
barley fleet are the French ships Ber-
engere and Amiral Halgan, both of
which have finished loading. The Ber-
engere was dispatched by Kerr Clifford
& Co, and has aboard 116,25O bushels
OF barley and 2754S bushels of wheat
for stiIfening, The Amiral Halgan,
which was dispatched by the North
west Warehouse Company, has 1852
bushels of barley and 1866 bushels of
wheat for stiffening, Both of the ves-
sells go to Queenstown or Falmouth
for orders, and are on the way down
the river.
Considering the small number of
ships in the river and the dull season,
Oregon shippers made a very fair show
ing Monday, for, In addition to the two
grain ships which finished loading, the
China Commercial liner Lothian COM
pleted a cargo OF over 10000 barrels of
Hour and the Port Patrick finished
loading lumber for Australia. The
Lothian has started down the river but
the Port Patrick mas not yet secured
crew.
