of "Jeanne D'Arc" and "Sapho" and
Taaon." The new play is of remar
kably clever construction and full of
bright lines and the big audience that

approval on the piece unhesitatingly
and without reserve.
The play is full of the whimsical
spirit of "Alice-Sit-by-The-Fire" is es
sentially modern in its conception and
gives the spectator a sense of solid
satisfaction in having been present.

cast, which is as follows Hon. Arthur

ted by a clever woman, Henry Miller,
Michael Dean, Frederick Lewis, Ru

J. F. Hamilton asking that certain old
tax records of the school district be
placed in the sheriff's office in the
county court house, lhey are now
in the office of the Astoria Abstract &
Title Company, where they were kept
for the reason that Mr. Ferguson,

slips prevent mistakes and save
trouble.

LINE IS INTO SEASIDE AND
TOMORROW MEN WILL
START AGAIN FROM ASTORIA
ON LOCATION.
The preliminary survey for the
Astoria, Seaside & Tillamook Electric
Railway to Seaside will be completed
today, and tonight the force of men
will arrive in this city. They will be
paid off for their work accomplished
to date, and tomorrow morning the
men will start on the work of run-'
ning the "location," or final, line to
Seaside. This should take about a
month, and when that is finished all
of the surveying work between this
city and Seaside will be done.
F. L. Evans, promotor of the pro
ject, said last evening that just as
soon as the survey is completed to
Seaside the force of men will be reor
ganized and started to work on the
preliminary survey to Tillamook. That
should be finished before the rainy
weather sets in.
Mr. Evans is rushing the work as
fast as is compatible with good re
sults. Last evening he also said that
immediately after the completion of
active consideration. He wjll not go
East on the matter, and it is under
stood that, certain eastern capitalists
will send their financial agent, and
their engineer, here to look the field
over. If the rest of the work goes
ahead in as satisfactory a manner as
the preliminary jnattcrs have, Mr.
Evans will win even more compli
mentary opinion than is now being
accorded him. It is now definitely
settled that a line will be run around
Smith's Point in addition to the one
over the heights. The Smith's Point
loop will be used for heavy freight,
as well as for passenger service.
