To the Patrons of the Fishers' Opera House: It affords me great pleasure to an nounce the first appearance in this city at the opera house on Tuesday even ing, December 20, of James A. Hearne's beautiful comedy-drama ."Shore Acres." This is the 14th year for this famous play and the company, which is the original Hearne organization numbers over 20 players and they carry all their own sceneryi I can safely guarantee the best play, com pany and production ever seen In As toria, and nothing will be left undone to make this a memorable engage ment. The company Is under unusual ly heavy expense and to make Astoria a side trip Is necessary, and In conse quence I have agreed to play them at dollar prices for reserved seats, and I am sure that those who witness this great play will agree with me in the above.

Red Tape and OfKoort' Salaries Is a Very Expensive Item to Be Considered in Deepening the Channel. AUIxiuEh no officii)! renort hits been Issued as to the cost and amount of1 work done on the Columbia river bar the wist year, there Is no doubt but the cost la enormous compared to the vaulting benefits. It Is reported from outside sources that there Is two more feet of water on the bar than a year ago, and tlhiit this has been accom plished by the Chinook. It this be true then the Jetty la a useless niece of engineering. That there Is not as much water on the bar aa before the Jetty was constructed Is claimed by men In a position to know. It Is estimated that during the past year, J2S.000 yards of sand has been removed at a cost of $1 a yard, making a total cost of IS25.000. The dredger Ladd has been dredging at various places on the river during the year, and the cost hasten four and seven-tenms cenis a yuru. iw crew of the Ladd numbers 19 men, while nearly 100 are employed, on the Chinook. The cost or repairing me Ladd has not exceeded 11000, while the cost of tlhe Chinook will exceed J25.OJ0. it Ik to be ex Dec ted that the amount expended by the government In main- talnlng the Chinook will be deducted from the 'amount of the'approprlatlons made by congress for work on the Jetty and bar. The Chinook la not ta kind of a boat for the bar. It Is too unwieldy and costs too much to maintain It. The onlnlon prevails among a large number of river men that dredging Is the only means of securing the neces sary depth of water on the bar. and tflwt the Jetty Is practically useless. This Is a matter that ought to be In- vestlgated, if It Is possible to Investi gate It, so that some good may be ac commlshed on the bar without snuand- 'erlna- rovernment money. If It Is go ing to cost $1,000,000 a fool to deepen th water on the bar. aa It has cost In ! past, some new scheme ought to be devised to cheapen the cost. WARRENT0N NEWS.
