Announcement h made by Mr,
fmel, principal -of the High School,
that (elected representatives from the
school will meet a debating team from
the Tillamook High School in thii
city' on January 20. The subject of
the inter-school debate will be on the
question of municipal ' ownership if
public utilities. In the two societies
in the local High School there are
now 14 entered in the try-out debates,
and after each society, the Alfredian
and the Wauregan, have selected the r

wjnners will meet the Tillamook team.
The time for the try-outs Is' very
ihort and it is probable the first one
will be held on the opening day )f
school, next Monday.
Moneys Paid Out-
City Treasurer Dealey yesterday
paid out the sum of $1617.75 on gen
eral fund warrants and $804 on street
improvement warrants. There if
still a considerable amount of money
in the hands of the treasurer on which
the warrants have been called and in
terest stopped, for despite the official
call of the warrants and the numerous
allusions to the matter in the papers
some of those who hold the warrants
don't seem to want to get their
money. One business firm that re
ceived some of its money yesterdav
seemed disposed to growl because the
money had been lying there without
earning them any interest, though tt
is difficult to see what else could be
done, unless the city treasurer would
go in person and beg them to come
to bis office and get their money.
In Probate Court
Upon the hearing of the final ac
counting, in the matter of the estate
of George Sievcrson in probate court
yesterday it was ordered that the ad
ni'mistrator pay over the balance of
the funds in his hands, $774.75, less
attorney fees and other minor charges
to the sole heir, Theodore Sieverson
In the matter of the estate of Conrad
L. Anderson, the administrator, I. C.
Anderson, showed a balance in his
hands of $292.50 out of a total of $300.
The expenses of administration as
reported were $7.50. The hearing of
the final account was set' for Feb
ruary 1. In the estate of B. C. Byrd
the funds still in the hands of the ad
ministratrix were ordered paid to-the
heirs, and the administratrix ordered
to make report to the court. In the
estate of Henrik Patree the final ac
counting was approved and the ad
ministrator discharged. The final ac
count was approved and the adminis
trator discharged in the estate of
Abram Kallunki.
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last night the question of
the election of officer for the ensuing
year did not come up, though there
had been . an understanding in the
minds of some that it waa to be the
anirii.il meeting and the occasion to
select officer.
The special committee appointed by
President Scholfield, for the purpose
of canvassing the financial situation
and to make suggestions in relation to
the officer for the coming year, did
not make a report, either. It seems
that the committee had not met, or
taken any action and hence was un
able to make a report. At the last
meeting the Chamber voted for u:h
committee to consists of five, but
after the meeting it appears that some
of the officials deemed it best to hav?
larger committee and for that rea
son nothing was done pending an in
crease in the size of the committee.
There was ome criticism expressed
over the lack of action, though not
applied particularly to any individual.
However, it seems that there is no
imperative haste required in studying
the situation, as there are sufficient
fund to carry on the work for sev
eral months yet.
President Scholfield announced in
cidentally last night that it would be
the last time he would sit as presi
dent, as at the time of the next meet
ing he will be in attendance upon the
legislature at Salem.
Several of the members appeared ti
be in the mood to speak out in meet
ing last night and one man wanted to
know about the proposed oil com.
pany, which has promised much for
months. This member. Walter T
Ingalls, thought be had been bilked
little in the contract he had signed in
relation to the oil company, as other
bad been voluntarily given a more fa-
orable contract. Mr. Ingalls wanted
to know why... '
Because you must have looked
easy,", was President Scholfield
facetious explanation.
Inasmuch as the Chamber had
somewhat enthusiastically endorsed
the project Mr. Ingalls apparently
deemed his question still unanswered,
One of the most interesting things
at last night's session was the introdu
tion of a proposed billfi which the
Chamber was asked to endorse and
present to the Oregon Legislature for
passage into a law. This bill has been
given publicity before in this city
provides that "any county or town1
of the state may levy a special tax not
exceeding four mills for advertising
the county or town.
Mr. Curtis, the attorney, was pres
ent and pointed out that such a la
would not be in harmony with the
present laws of the state in relation
to taxation, and the matter was sent
back to the committee on laws for
furher consideration. The passage of
such a law would doubless prove
be ' such an extraordinary departure
from the settled laws of the land per
taming to municipalities that perhap
the whole effect of it can not readily
be seen now, but some are disposed to
think such a law would prove whollv
evil and disastrous, while others see
in it only an quitable means of making

It vat also announced that there is
movement on foot to remove the
two lighthouse tenders that now make
their headquarter ' here to BclIinjT-
am. The Chamber will jtrenuously
feppose this, and B. Van Dusen and'
others talked on the manifest injustice
of any such a change. The commerce

demands the presence of the tender
here. , . ; .-
Manager Whytc stated that there
are ir.any inquiries about the logged-
' lands. One concern has asked if
it could get possession of a urg;
tract. There have been about 300 let
ters received in regard to logged-off
lands..
The suggestion was made that the
Chamber make an arrangement with
'iime reputable realty firm pf Seattle
to become an agent for Astoria and
Clatsop county lands, the idea being
that much good could be accomplish-
d i nthis way. Nearly all who come
to Oregon first top off in Seattle. It
wa also suggested that the same ar
rangement .be made in Portland; and
that it might be a good idea if a large
lectric sign advertising Astoria were
maintained at the Portland depot.
Mr. Finlayson followed this up by go
ing it one better. He suggested it
might be a good plan to have a phon
graph, or a man with a megaphone, tc
meet all the Seattle trains, and either
the man with the megaphone or the
phonograph could then sing out the
advantages of Astoria. Mr. Finlay
son did not state whether he meant
this facetiously or not, but the other
suggestions seemed to meet whh
favor. '

Adair Drain
The recent heavy rains have caused
much trouble with the old Adair drain
and i nseveral places it has broken in.
The entire drain is said to be in such
wretched shape that it no long-r
carries off the streams of water that
naturally collect in that basin, and ai
result .the householders in that lo
cality have suffered somewhat. Su
perintendent of Streets Kearney has
had men working there for several
days past and the men were busy all
day Christmas and Sunday. The
rving avenue improvement in that
section has also apparently caused
some of the water' to find new chan
nels, and this is the source of addi
tional trouble. The councilman who
made the famous statement in the
council chamber at the last meeting
about the sliding ground being all
imaginary" would be highly, edified
to meet some of the people down at
3Sth street and Irving, just for one
slight example. "In one place," said
Mr. Kearney yesterday, "the ground
has three distinct movements east
west and north."

There can be no questioning the
generally admitted fact that the play
of "Arizona", as presented at the As
toria theatre on Sunday night lait
was the finest dramatic presentment
made here this season. The produc
tion was Hollis E. Cooley's triumph,
borne out by a group of earnest, com
petent people, none of whom failed at
any point in the long and powerful
story, one of the best ever written bv
Augustus Thomas. .
The house was about half-filled
when it should have overflowed with
an audience that would have been as
pleased as were the few that saved
the advantage of attending. There
was a lesson in faithful work in this
rendition 'of the famous play of the
plains. There was an excellence main
tained throughout that made it
masterpiece and gratified everyone
who witnessed it In point of pains
taking, ardent and arduous work, no
distinction may be made as among the
17 players in the cast Everyone gave
a standard presentment of their in
dividual work, the massing of it all
contributing to one of the rarest en
tertainments furnished here in many s
day. ,.'.. . ik
There were no delays, no hitches, n
waits, no blundering; all was smooth
and clean and alluring from beginning:
to end, and the vigor and snap and
resonant tone of the play was faithful
ly sustained at every line and situi
tion. : .--
