Pleased With Astoria

Pleased With Astoria
Two Of the Alliances passengers, Mes
srs. j. II. Callahan, oi Battle Greek,
Michigan and W. 7. Richardson, of
Phoenix, Altoona, both lawyers and
both men of travel anu experience, and
critically obseiNant withal, are still
sojourning in the City-by-the-Sea simply
because they have become interested in
it and its people, They are remotely
separated in so iar as their homes and
predictions are concerned, but they are
a unit on the well warranted prospects
for Astoria as a seaport and Milwav
terminal for transcontinental business
and the general uplift due her by rea-
son OF her magnificent location. They
are taking in all points of interest in
and out of the city, and spent the day
yesterday on the West Side, looking up
Warrenton, and Fort Stevens, and re,
turned delighted with all they saw over
there. 1t is hoped their predisposition
in favor OF Astoria will result in her
securing some tangible manifestation in
that line, notably the decision to cast
their personal lots with the Astorians
for the future, whereby the city would
be distinct gamer as well as them
selves.

cH|L6'S PLEA IS HEARD
NAVY DEPARTMENT RETURNS 4
STRAY DOG TO LONESOME
CLEMENTINE.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-Even the
fearful letter of a child is sufficient to
set in motion the pOnderous machinery
of the United States government. When
the naval militia of the District of
Columbia went on a cruise down the
Potomac a few weeks ago, it picked up
an attractive dog and carried it off.
This resulted in a letter to the secre-
Pearson, st. Mary's county, Maryland
named Clementine H. Craddock. She
said of the militia: g.
1 am told they took my good old
dog Rover with them, and he is now
on the boat in Washington. He is
dark, red dog, right big and has
hardly any teeth. l have no brothers
or sisters, no one to play with me now
Rover has been taken.
Il am nine years old and you don't
know how lonesome l am. l could
drive him 20 my wagon, Dress him up
or anything. When he got stubborn
and would not come with me. l would
get stick and make believe it was
a gun and he would follow me.
won't you please take the time to
find out about my dog? | am so lone
some I have cried and cried about
Rover
When the letter reached The secre-
tary Of the navy things began to hap
pen. Rover had to be found if it took
the whole arm of the service. Late
this afternoon a wagon drove up to an
express office in Washington and two
young men lifted carefully out neat
crate. which they carried inside They
asked to have the crate weighed and
told the agent they wanted to pay ex-
press upon it to Pearson, st. Marys
county, Maryland.
In the crate was "a right big red
dog and when one of the men in the
express office looked down at him and
said: Here. Rover the dog wagged
lis tail. In the box were some bread
and other things suitable to the appe-
lite of a dark red rog, right big and
with hardly any teeth" The tag on
the box bore The name of Miss Glenn
entine Craddock"
