lively level and we'll watered, there
being sufficient water. for irrigation
purposes. The beautiful Payette
river flows within mile of the town
site, and the mountains are covered
with large amount of saw timber.

mill about one mile east of the new
town, and they have put in planer
and will manufacture all kinds of
lumber, shingles, etc.
A new three-story hotel is under
construction and when completed

EXCURSIONS

Those who desire to pass limited time
at Old Point appreciate the convenient serv-
ice maintained by the Norfolk and Wash
irgton Steamboat Company. Steamers of
this line sail every day in the year at $50
pm, landing passengers at Old Point and
Norfolk early the succeeding morning.
Daily connections made at the latter
place for all points south and also with
steamers for New York and Boston
That a forum, is not needed to enable
one to enjoy a trip to California is proved
by the tri-weekly trips of the Southern Pa
cific Company to the Pacific slope. These
excursions are made via excellently APP
pointed tourist sleepers which provide the
maximum of comfort at minimum expense
Winter Is, of course, the ideal season in
California and those who have trips in mind
should OBTAIN particulars regarding the OPP
portunities these excursions afford before
making decisions. Such information may be
had at the Office of the general agent, A.

PLANS FOR ANNUAL MEETING.
Address to Be Delivered in Interest Of
Associated Charities.

The board of managers of the Associated
Charities Is completing arrangements for
Its twenty-third annual meeting. Robert w.
de Forest has been secured to deliver the
chief address. In view of Washinston's
present problems he has selected as his
subject "Tfe Broadening Sphere of Organic
ed Charity. Why 1t Increasingly Empha-
sizes Preventive and Constructive Social
Service.
1t is announced that Mr.. de Forests dis
cussion of this subject will be increased in
interest by the fact that he served as chair
man Of the special New York committee
on the Improvement OF housing conditions"
appointed by Theodore Roosevelt while the
latter was serving as governor. AS re-
suit of this committees work the new
tenement house department. was estab-
lish in New York city, and Mr.. de Forest,
at considerable sacrifice to his private bust
ness interests accepted the appointment as
the first commissioner of The new depart
ment, under Mayor Seth Low.
The lass two annual meetings of the AS
ISOLATED Charities have been so overcrowded
that many people have been turned away
and it Is feared that the auditorium in
which the meeting will be held, which is
smaller than the usual meeting place, may
rot be sufficient to hold all the members
and friends Of the Associated Charities this
year. The board has therefore concluded
to allow admission by ticket only, but 1t
extends very cordial invitation to all per-
sons interested to apply at once for reserv-
ed seat tickets, which will be issued with
out charge from the office of the aSSocfa ton
at 81 G street.
The meeting will be held Friday, Novem-
Der IS, at s pm. in the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church.

Shortly before o'clock this morning
John B. Waters of Riverdale, Md, was
driving quietly along the road en- route to
Washington, and his peaceful thoughts
were suddenly disturbed by whizzing from

STEAMER FLOATED.
Arrowsmith, After Five Weeks of I'm
prisonment, Released From Mud Bank

The Randall line steamer T. V. Arrow
smith. which has spent the past five weeks
on mud bank down the river, was fioated
yesterday and arrived at her wharf here
last night. The steamer went ashore in
the equinoctial gale on the night of Sep
TENDER IA, while on her regular trip down
the river. The night was very dark one
and the tide was unusually high. When
daylight came it was found that she had
gone high out upon the bank and had only
two or three feet of water about her. not
half enough to float her.
1t was at first thought high tide would
come and float the steamer. but the tide
did not come, and at last a dredging ma
shine had to be sent to dig her out. 1t Is
stated the boat was not damaged by her
long stay ashore.

THE Earl of PawtHket'' returns to the
Columbia Monday evening for q week s
stay. Augustus Thomas sprightly comedy
needs no introduction to many theatergoers,
who enjoyed it at this same theater last
season. Lawrence DOGsay, the star. about
whose personality Mr. Thomas owns that
he wrote the play, wills of course, be seen in
his old role of ord Cardington, the runa-
way English peer. whose attempts to dis
guise himself as an American get him into
all sorts OF humorous difficulties.
Augustus Thomas previous stage sue
cesses. Arizona. "a Alabama In Miz-
zoura' and "On the Quiet" had none of
ttem prepared the discriminating public for
h.gh-class farce on the lines of The Earl
or Pawtucket, and Mr.. Thomas frank
declaration that he wrote the piece to prove
that his friend Lawrence D'Orsay was
really true threw a great light upon the
inspiration and the methods by which the
author at one stroke took his place as a
distinguished writer of light farce. The re-
turn engagement to the Columbia is marked
by but few changes from the original cast
The replacing of Miss Sydmeth by Miss
Robertson is the most notable.
