Acting Chief of Police Obcrg has
! been working with Dr. Reames, the
! city health officer, in an vffort M
j clean up many of the ill-smelling and
', dirty spots of the town, ami already
1 much has been accomplished. 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
