They dispersed in time to get to the theater, to attend the production of the company's play, "The Captain and the Spy." Their appearance on the streets was appreciated on all sides. New Dyking Law At the recent session of the legisla ture the dyking laws were changed in several important particulars, and one of the amendments was made at the request of residents of Clatsop coun ty. According to the old law, it re quired a majority of the property owners, as well as a major part of the acreage, to form a dyking district and to secure funds for repairs or maintenance. Under the law as amended the repairs and work of main tenance can be done with the consent of the owners of a major part of the property, irrespective of the question of a majority of the individual own ers. This change was particularly desired because of the numerous non resident owners of property around Warrenton. and under the old taw it was very difficult to get the consent of the non-residents, or to get in lonch with them. Another change wai also made, whereby dyking districts may bond themselves.

OPAflY BOYS WME I PI11D NIT GOOD CROWD TOO, AT MILI TARY PLAY GIVEN LAST EVENING. The "Captain and the Spy," the military drama at the Astoria theatre last night by memberi of the First Company, was a pronounced success, and it passed off with more vim and spirit than might have been expected from the amateur soldier boys. There wai s good house, too, and that probably gave the players a bet ter encouragement. Not only were the seati down stairs well filled, but the gallery also was well crowded with applauding Astorians who seemed to take delight In giving a "hand" to every telling point. The play will be repeated again tonight and it is safe to promise to' all who go that they will enjoy the stirring scenes of the drama. The drama itself is a good one. with a plot of love, intrigue and mili tary action that is easily followed and is interesting in itself, and the players found little difficulty in interpreting the roles in a satisfactory manner. The play was in fact good; much bet ter than many an amateur effort that has been put on the boards in this city, and those who put on plays by local talent in the future will have to succeed very well to attain '.he mark set by the boys of the First Company last night. Of course it would be individious to make comparisons, or to say. who was good, who wai fair, and who was excellent in the parts. All did very well .and some did excellently well. The principal parti, like those taken by Captain Abercrombie, Lieutenant Knobloch and Lieutenant Sutton, were well handled. r and Lieutenant Sutton seems to have histrionic abili ties of no mean merit. Three young ladies took part, Mrs. Lottie Fergu son, Miss Fannie Gregory and Miss Maude Ross, and they looked pretty and acted their parts as well as they looked. While once or twice last night there was a forgotten fine, or some little break in the progress of things, the play went off better than might have been expected and tonight it of course will go much more smoothly. Those who want to pass a couple of hours pleasantly and at the same time wish to aid in a very worthy cause can hardly dp better .than go to the "Captain and the Spy" tonigbt.

ARE REALLY MANY FINE NEW HOMES IN COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION It is a matter of very general com ment among the business men, the ex-' tent of the building of new residences now going on. ; Between Seventh and Fourteenth' streets above Harrison avenue there are at this time to be seen more resi dences in process of construction than ever before at any one time in the history of the city. At the corner of Eighth street and Irving avenue . there are four new houses all of. which have been built during the past few months, and in the neighborhood outlined more than 30 new residences have been counted. Strange to say not one of these is vacant and every one of them was built for some particular person. The house being put up by Sam Harris will cost at least $20,000 when completed, it is said. It is on the edge of the hill above Ninth street and many people from all over the city are constantly visiting it. It fronts on an entire block, and is a half block deep and would be a credit to any city in the United, States re gardless of size. Many think it is the most beautiful from the architectural standpoint ever erected in Astoria. From Mr. Harris' terraced lawn' one can count more than 20 new residences within gun shot. This building is possible because of the street improvement that has gote on in that neighborhood and would not be possible had not those streets been graded. The work of grading is not quite completed but it is going forward especially on Ninth street and Irving avenue and ninth and Har rison and with the completion of the electric line across the hill no more beautiful residence locations in all the Columbia River valley could be found nor any more readily accessible from the business portion of any city. Lewis Kirchoff is building five more new residences and these are in demand. A number of emigrants are headed this way and three different r ASTORIA THEATRE It is different in Astoria, where a man spends time, energy , and money freely, all the hustlers pull for him. , Those who won't work for As toria are overlooked. Here, knockers are termed "vinegarettes" because knockers are sour; their milk of human kindness has curdled and they fell sick to their stomachs and down in their mouths. Fortunately Astoria has but few "vinegarettes" that's why we are growing so fast. nothing but Militia Company, You some day and don't forget that A families were in the city yesterday looking for agricultural locations. i With the new hotel which is now as sured the future for Astoria during the immediate spring and summer is very bright considered wholly from the standpoint of things that really exist. The two land lists of the Chamber of Commerce contain alto jgether nearly 200 pieces of property 'and about three-fifths of all . these jhave changed hands during the last j 18 months. Most of this is country j property. A great deal of quiet work j along different development lines has Jgone steadily forward without ceas ing throughout the past winter and when one looks, back nd checks up the number of realty sales made one is astonished at the progress in evi dence. There are now families locat ed about Astoria from Chicago, Okla homa, Louisiana, Canada, and other states all brought through the recent advertising campaign. The future of Astoria is bright be cause Astoria is a bright place and all healthy people whose livers are in good working order should cease croaking and knocking, and do some real work along boosting lines. There are plenty of optimists in Astoria and what is needed is for them to get busy and shout a while. If they will only shout enough the few pessimists cannot be heard. Something bearing on this subject and of unique inter est has been published by' Manager Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce on the back of his business card and reads as follows: "Hide your little hammer, and try to speak well of others, no matter how small you may really know your self to be. When a stranger drops in jolly him. Tell him this is the greatest town on earth and it is. Don't dis couAge him by speaking ill of your neighbor. There is no end of fun in minding your own business. It makes other people like you. Nobody gets stuck on a knocker." t A POOR OCCUPATION NEW YORK, March 2S.-Stephen Stan, a Servian who started six months ago from Los Angeles on a walking trip around the world, reach ed New York yesterday and dropped in on Mayor McClelhtn to obtain the Mayor's endorsement in a little green memorandum book which he carries.
