In (some places there were piles of de jbris that have been eyesores and a constant menace to the health of all j who resided near for many months, f On Astor street especially there were several bad places, and Mr. Obceg "got after" the owners of these evil places with energy. In one or more places he caused men to be hired, and the work of cleaning up proceeded with vigor. Not only did the health officer and acting chief give orders that the "smelly" and evil places should be cleansed, but they went around later to see that their orders were enforced. But it was not alone in the lower part of the city that there was fault to be found. Up on the hillsides were found piles of manure and other un wholesome conditions, and the same orders for a thorough cleaning up were given there, with the like re sults. Yet despite this activity on the part of tht authorities there are still many bad conditions in the city, some of them rather difficult to han dle b ythe ordinary means. The force of public opinion will nevertheless have its effect in time far "more forci bly than at present, it is hoped, so that some people who now are not ashamed to have a pig pen or a dirty manure pile right at their doorways will sooner or later respond to the public opinion which demands that these things must go or be kept so that there can be no offense to the eyes and olfactory nerves of their neighbors. In sopie parts of the town streets and yards are bright and clean, and an Astorian may be proud pf what he sees there. Were it not for the pilesof wood lying on the streets many sections of the city would be in admirable condition. "Some of the conditions we found were shockingly bad," remarked Dr. Reames last evening, "Filth and dirt were piled up four or five feet high in several places. There seems nothing to do but make arrests, and that course will certainly be pursued if these delinquents pursue their pol icy of never cleaning up. One res taurant th,at we had warned a few weeks ago we found still in very bad shape and imperative orders were then given for a cleaning up at once. If it is not done there will be an arrest made." "THE LITTLE PROSPECTOR" Well-Known Western Drama Will Be Seen at Opera House Tomorrow Night One of' the most successful plays of the present season is "The Little Prospector," a comedy-drama that comes to the Astoria Theater tomor row night. "The Little Prospector" ,vas written especially for "Chic" Perkins by a master hand in stage craft, and the lines and "business" fit her like a kid glove. The character of the self-assertive, independent, yet lovable daughter of a degenerate phy sician is interpreted with a charm that wins the audience and sets thj gallery gods in a furore and the real critic Is the gallery god; he is honest to himself and the players, and he won't stand for phony goods. "Chic" Perkins is surrounded with a group of theatrical sattellitcs that are an important factor in the success of the new play and give the magnetic little star excellent support, which causes "The Little Prospector" to run as Smooth as the waters of a mountain brook. There is, an element of pathos in the drama that is not overworked, and the comedy is not of the "slap stick" order, but is clean and refined, vet the sitiiflions never fail to brine oars of hearty laghter. There is an indescribable charm about "The Lit tle Prospector," as interpreted by "Chic" Perkins, that makes the play a success, for it tells the story of hu man emlotions in which love, hate and romance are skilfully blended by a playwright of international fame. Success from a financial and artis tic standpoint has cronwed the ef forts of the strenuous, magnetic "Chic," and the little star deserves New Stock So Take Advantage ATTHE EXTREMELY LOW PRICES WE ARE CLOSING THEM-OUT AT.
