NAME MEANS SOMETHING.
In conversation with a well known
Astorian yesterday he said, speaking
of the trouble and cost of clearing
stuniD land:
"In the Sound cities Mr. J. J. Hill
stated, and repeated, that the future
resource to be depended uoon for
their prosperity was the clearing and
cultivation of the lossed-off lands.
The same condition exists about
Astoria.
"The difficulty and expense in
clearing such land is not as great
perhaps as has been supposed. One
of our townsmen recently took a
Sabbath day's outing on his ranch,
and, for amusement, took a few
dynamite sticks with him. He thrust
a crowbar under some Targe stumps
inserted a dynamite stick, lighted the
fuse and was surprised to see the
stump jump fully out of the ground
and split open. He started a fire in
the rift and by night the stumo was
nearly consumed. As the dynamite
costs but a few cents, he intends to
spend his odd moments now Bunch
ing holes tinder the tsumps with his
cane and thrusting in sticks of dyna
mite just for the fun of seeing the
stumps jump into the air.
There is much fine bottom land
on the Necanicnm, that is ready for
this kind of fun. A townsman who
owns about 200 acres there proposes
to throw out the stumps the same
way, and what can not be burned
without piling he will draw together
with a donkey engine. As it injures
the soil to burn it. the more th
stumps to be burned, are congre
gated, the better."

COLUMBIA RIVER PACKERS'
ASSN. DECLARES SEMI

Among the innumerable items oi

noted, and unnoted, yesterday, there

distributed, a semi-annual dividend

THE VITALITY OF GENIUS
Few, if any, of the religious plays
have had a life of more than two or
three seasons. The fact that Clar
ence Bennett's "The Holy City," af
ter three years of growing success.
is, today, a stronger attraction than
ever, and that its return dates are
greeted everywhere, with crowded
houses, proves that it has in it some
thing of real and powerful dramatic
worth, outside of its religious inter
est. It is not mere cariosity to see a
play out of the ordinary, a sort of
dramatic innovation, that causes the
great public to go to see it again and
again, and that makes each one who
has seen it, an enthusiastic advertiser
for It. The reason for this is, that
outside of the fact that it narrates
the most dramatic and thrilling incl
dents in the history of the world, a
story that is inwoven with the very
fibers of our faith and our hones for
time and eternity, it tells that story
with such an earnest, devout and rev
erential spirit that it disarms the
criticism of the most religious and. at
the same time, develops that grandly
tragic theme in such a powerful an-!
dramatic way, giving such splendid
opportunities for superb acting, tell
ing so vividly the love of a beautiful.
passionate, wilful woman's love, hate,
revenge, remorse and triumph, pre
senting it all with such lifelike sur
roundings of beautiful Oriental
scenery, gorgeous" costumes and
splendid stage settings and dramatic
climaxes and wonderful stage situa
tions, that, aside from its religious
interest, it stands , alone upon
dramatic merits as one of the great
est, strongest, most thrilling and In
teresting dramas of modern times
the beauty of its language, scintillat
ing with gems of eloquence and po
etic expression, its wonderful nor
trayal of character and expression
running the entire scale of human
emotion from laughter to tears, from
mirth to horror, from hone to dis
pair, from love to hate, from joy to
death! These all appeal directly to
the heart and make us forget that it
is only a play! To us, for the time
being, it becomes a living reality. It
is as real and as correct and nower
ful as the Passion Play, with a large
and powerful cast of excellent acton.
