and it was at once declared their
purpose to nail it fasf to the heel of
the new spar before it was served;
and this was done; hence, the life,
j prosperity, and fame, of the beauti
ful bar schooner, will never in any
jwise diminish by reason of misfor
tune; she must rot out and wear
away. She will probably be ready to
go out to her station tomorrow.

fleet news from Bristol Bay. The safely withstood the onslaughts of a
ship Berlin, of the Warren Packing
Company, was due to leave out from

Captain Macgenn had some trouble
with his firemen on the arrival of the
ship here, as they all walked ashore
with their dunnage because he denied
them a hot meal when coming off
watch, which has been the rule of the
ship for some time. On his attempt!
to instal a lot of non-union firemen
from this city, the cooks and ste
wards walked out, and only by con
ceding the original proposition, with
out any strings to it, were the old
firemen induced to return to the ship,
along with those in sympathy with
them, and this was accomplished by
outside influences. Mr. and Mrs.
Nate Tallant were passengers for the
Coos country, whither they go to try
out some fisheries and canning prop
erties the Tallant-Grant people have
winter's seas.
Captain and Mrs. Antonson, of the

subside in the land and home airs.

Acme Grocer y Co.
Came Through Scatheless
Dr. Thomas Ross, of Tillamook City
(but primarily, and finally, of this
city), has emerged from the recent
case at law, forced upon him by a
bumptious patient down that way, en
tirely scatheless, and with his profes
sional name and ability justified and
proven beyond all controversy. His
bill has been "paid, also his court costs,
the .plaintiff contributing the requisite
sums in this relation. Dr. Ross was
alleged to have improperly ' set the
broken arm of one J. E. Stevens,
which charge went to the ground un
der an ex-ray analysis made at Port
land during the course of the trial
there, by the testimony of an eminent
physician, the friend and partner of
Dr. Geisy, and the suit was at once
withdrawn on the ascertainments
made by the delicate and incorrupt
ible machine used in the expert, dem
onstration. While the charge is near
ly two years old, the practice of Dr.
Ross all over Tillamook has swept on
and up since it was brought against
him, and this, in conjunction with the
developments in the trial, have con
tributed much to his happiness and
success. He went to the man's relief
when no other physician could be
found to serve in the case, and in
the middle of a wild winter storm;
the refusal of the patient to pay the
bill, and the subsequent dishonorable
reflection cast upon the doctor, being
matters of pure greed and spite. All
of which is appreciable news among
the many friends of the young physi
cian'in this city and county.

Coming to the Astoria Theatre.
In this era of foolish and nonsen
sical musical plays, it is a pleasure
to observe that occasionally'' there
comes an attraction of genuine musi
cal and dramatic merit under the
heading "Musical Comedy" or "Comic
Opera." While "Little Dollie Dim
ples"' has show girls, pony ballet,
chappie chorus and all that sort of
thing, still the play is founded on a
good, strong, well-laid plot and
pure wholesome story that is strong
dramatically and musically. Miss
Cameron's part gives ample oppor
tunity for the display of the versatile
talents of this dainty little commcd
ienne and the music she interprets
was written with regard to displaying
her remarkable high tones and lo the
dramatic quality also of ' this dis
tinguished little artiste.
Many will remember Miss Came
ron's clever work in the famous roles
she had created including the Bos
tonians' "Maid Marian" in "Robin
Hood," Yvonna in "The Serenade,"
Daphne in "Foxy Quiller," Marion
Northington in "The Tenderfoot,"
Cordelia Allen in "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home," Estelle in
"The Telephone Girl! the Maid in
"The French Maid," Julie Bonbon in
I "The Girl From Paris," etc., etc., and
her many admirers will be pleased to
learn that in her new play, "Dollie
Dimples," Mr. C. H. Kerr has fitted
her peculiar talents more correctly
than in any of her previous successes.
The play "Dollie Dimples" was
fashioned after the character and
song with which Miss Cameron set
Br.wdway humming when she play.?!
the long engagement at the Casin
Theatre in New York as Little Dollie
Dimples in "Piff Part Pouff,"
The supporting company in "Dollie
Dimples" is a most notable one and
the production is elaborate in every
detail, with proper scenic, electrical'
and mechanical equipment.
