Big Whale ON the Beach.

A large whale washed up on Wei
nesday OF last week on Netarts beach,
on what was formerly the Kunze
place, but now owned by the Netarts
Bay Improvement Company. Some
children living on the place first dis
covered Il, but, not knowing what II
was, returned to the farm and re-
ported that something had washed
up. and as soon as Messrs. Hender-
son and Levitt, who are renting the
place, were through with their milk
Ing they went on the beach to see
what 10 was. They found a large
whale, which was on its back and its
mouth open, had been washed ashore
The monster was SO feet long. had
number OF barnacles on It's tail. and
had evidently been dead for a long
time, for when the tide receded IL
commenced to decay under the suns
rays. Quite n number went to Ne
tarts 10 see the leviathan. .-Tilla-

ERNEST
JENSEN
DECORATOR
Artistic Young Friend of the Horse
,;=s ss Editor Doing Stunts At the
Pavilion

Ernest v. Jensen, formerly of The
Dalles, later of Hood River, and Ell
present resident OF Astoria, ar
rived in the city this morning to do
some decorative stunts In the pavil-
ion at the fair grounds. He is an ar
tist In that line, and did some of the
work In the same building year and
two years ago, and also fixed up the
big float used the last two Fourths
of July. Ernest can come as near
making something out of nothing as
the woman who invented peek-a-boo
waists or the fig-leaf costume en-
traine, of before the fall style. Up
In The Dalles, at the district fair, he
made a farm scene on the walls OF
the pavilion out OF couple OF
sheaves OF grain and bunch OF grass
30 natural that the farmers who
came in used TO sit down and cry, be-
cause they could see the cookie burrs
growing in the cornfeld, and fancy
they could hear the pig squeal under
the barnyard gate. They used to feel
30 badly over II, that the manage
ment put up some long seats, reg
ular mourners' benches. with roller
towels, hung conveniently. so the
grangers could weep In comfort. The
gate was 30 true to life. so to speak,
that II used to fall down occasional
Iy, whenever some one touched the
prop (they propagate In Wasco
county, or looked at the fence. lie
had chickens made out OF straw, 30
natural that when the Methodist min
lister visited the pavilion they all
Ned and hid under the straw stack,
and one of the Shanghals surreptl-
tlously aid an egg measuring 6M
Inches one way and something and n
half the other. and Ernest entered u |
In the egg contest. becahse II was so |
big that nobody could beat II. Aud
the calves were so true to life they |
had to put muzzles on them to keep
them from sucking, aud the fles
nearly starved TO death. You see
they would light on straw COW,
aud when they got their bills inside |
hsr they would suck Il through the |
straw. but they only fllled up on hot
air and didn't have any room for
substantial food. Ernest did whole
lots of other things, but the horse
editor IA busy this morning. and
hasn't tlmo to tell 'about them.
Some time. when he has leisure. he
will tell how Ernost made a dog ont
of nr bark that kept the nelghbor,
awake all the time because Il was
all bark, hut not now. You ought
10 recognize his work when You visit
the pavilion, Just from this dercrlp-
tlon You viii also be able to rec
ognize Ernest, lie II a medium-siz'd
Swede or Dane or Norwegian, with
halo of yellow hair like viking,
aud smile like the breaking OF
summer day Don't mistake him for
a part OF the farm scenery.
