AT THE THEATER.
"The Silver King" Tomorrow Night -
"His Worst Enemy Tonight.

Mr.. Lee Willard and company closed a
most successful week at the Astoria
theater last evening The play last
night was His Worst Enemy and was
one of the strongest emotional depictions
Of political life that has been offered in
the city. Interspersed all throuh the
plot of the play is the story Of the life
OF drink and its cruel results. Mr.. Will
lard with his fine support played the
difficult roles acceptably.
"The Silver King" is the bill Monday
night. Mr. Willard will appear as Viii
fred Denvers, 1t is an English comedy
drama and is full of fun and pathos.
There are no plays like the English in
which these two features can best be
brought out. There is plenty of wit on
the English stage and in English plays
and Mr., Willard and his company do not
loose one ounce of it in presenting the
"Silver King"
The bill tonight at the theater will be
His Worst Enemy"

DROWNED Man Isl
IDENTIFIED
MAN DROWNED EARLY IN THE
MONTH -- LATER IDENTIFIED BY
PAPERS ON HIS PERSON - BODY
FOUND BY YOUN COUPLE.

Identification Of the man who was
found dead near Gray's River over q
month ago, whose body was buried and
subsequently, brought to the surface
again by the waters which washed over
his resting place and opened his grave,
was made known today when letter
was received by the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company Of Portland from the
authorities OF Ilwaco, stating they had
found deed in the dead mans clothes.
which gave his name as John Brink.
i,rink's remains were buried yesterday
for the second time.
Brink'S body was found on july Q by
d young couple who were walking along
the banks Of the river Apparently the
man had been dead for several weeks
and his body lay on the bank above the
river The coroner was notified and he
at once sent two men to take charge OF
the remains, which were buried close TO
tho river.
An effort was made 10 determine the
dead mans identity, but no friends or
relatives we're found and the coroner's
deputies evidently forgot TO search the
clothes for clue so eager were they
TO dig the grave and dispose of the
body.
The ground at this point on the river
is composed Of clay and during high
water il is washed constantly by the
river which leaps high up on the bank.
The grave was shallow and the water
had a good play on the soil which had
been loosened by the shovels.
A few days ago party of people
from Grays River were horrifed when
they passed the spot and saw two arms
and leg sticking up through the
ground. closer inspection showed that
part of the body was also decomposed.
and over 1t all the water occasionally
surged from the river and swayed the
lifeless limbs.
Ilwaco authorities were again notified
OF the discovery and deputies from the
coroner's office removed the body from
the grave Before re.interring it a
search was made Of the dead mans
clothes and in the inner pocket of his
coat was found a deed to be of lot in
South St Johns which had been given
by the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany to John Brink, and the Portland
company today received letter stating
the facts.
So far as known Brink had no rela-
tiyes here or in the state. His remains
were buried again on the river bank,
but far enough back so the water will
not disturb them. An effort will be
made to learn whether he has relatives
in the east No evidence was found on
his body which suggested either murder
or suicide and it is believed that he
died from an attack of heart failure.
Where he had lived prior to his death
has not been learned.

NEW BEACH TO Be
POPULAR
SUNSET BEACH PLAT FILED YES.
TERDAY-IS SEVEN AND A HALF
MILES FROM ASTORIA - HAS A
FINE STRETCH OF SAND.

Sunset Beach, the newest resort OF
the Pacific Coast, has been plated out
| by n. W. Bower, of Boise, Idaho, during
the past few weeks and the erection OF
several fine residences by Portland and
Idaho people will be commenced within
few weeks. There ar 7S7 lots in the
property, composing IS blocks,
The new resort has the finest beach
between the Columbia River and Tila'
nook and the indications are that it is
going to become popular as one of the
best bathing beaches on the coast. The
latter has depth of 1900 feet at low
tide and the long stretch OF sand deepens
SO gradually that swimmers may go
into the surf much further distance
than at other points.
Room for four parks has been plated
out and two hotels win be constructed
this fall, one on the east side of the
property, on Necoxi Lake, and the other
directly on the beach. Twenty-Five thou.
sand dollars will be spent upon the erec'
ton of the hotels, which will be con-
structed so as to make large additions
to them as the business OF the beach
demands it,
Sunset Beach is seven and a half
miles from Astoria, and will be the
nearest resort to this city. 1t is com.
posed of $50 acres Of land outside of
Necoxi Lake, which is 400 feet wide and
one mile long, The water is always
fresh and there is plenty of good fishing
in this excellent body of fresh water.
The frontage on the beach is $500 feet,
the distance from the ocean to the lake
being 1900 feet.
Necoxi Lake is parallel with the beach
and practically places the resort between
a body OF fresh water and the ocean.
This will enable the cottagers to enjoy
surf bathing, fresh water bathing, boat
ing and fishing. There will be no So.
looms at the resort except those in the
two hotels.
No shanties will be allowed at Sunset
Beach, and all buildings must be of
dressed lumber, at least, and painted.
Mr., Bowers intends to have everything
done up in frst-class shape in order that
the beach may be big drawing card
for people all over the west,

line will pass the resort at no distant

By one of those errors that occasion

tanned from the Chamber of Commerce,
said that the well known firm Of Eka
American Importing Co. could not be
found in the city. The reporter that

well known and established it might
have been a serious matter However,
it was annoying to say the least.

THE CONVICT LABOR
EVIL in THE SOUTH
No Wonder Intelligent Laborers Shun
Section Where Convicts are
Sold In Slavery.

The Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail
road Company has leased from the
State of Alabama 800 convicts to
work in their Pratt mines. The
price agreed upon for the use of
these convicts is SI2 IL month for
daymen and the piece contract now
in vogue for digging coal.
The State has also leased to the
Boyd-Henderson Lumber COMPANY
300 convicts to use in the lumber
business.
No wonder the South is behind
the times The labor of these con-
victs is utilized in the manufacture
of products that comes in competi-
ton with the products of honest
labor and has the effect of reducing
the wages of free labor. No State
that Injuries its industrious, law.
abiding citizens in such a manner
can ever make any substantial pro
gress- All enlightened communities
have abandoned the convict labor
system, and it is now looked upon
as a relic of the age of barba rism.
No wonder workingmen are
scarce in the South. Free and in.
tell1gent laborers will shun locali-
ties where convicts are sold out in
to slavery and their products sold
III the open market in competition
with that of honest wage earners.
The South has many lessons to
learn, and the most important one
is to encourage industrious labor
ing men instead of handicapping
them in the struggle for an honest
living.-Industrial Herald.

Peri1s of Working Girls.

in an address made recently be-
fore the National Purity Congress
at Chicago the Rev. John Balloon
Shaw, pastor of the Second Presbv-
terrain Church, scored the depart
ment stores, because, in his opin-
ion, stores girls were in constant
danger.
eff there is one person to be
pitied more than another in this
great city," he said, sit is the
boarding house young woman. She
comes from Dakota or Oklahoma
to make her living. If she is for
tunate she gets into one of the high
class stores at So or SO a week. If
she is less fortunate she has to work
in the second grade department
stores for Sc or 81 week.
ono young woman can live in
this city as she ought for that
amount of money. She takes a
hall bedroom in an inferior house
and lives at cheap cafes. Instantly
she is assailed by fierce tempta-
lions. One is financial, the other
social, She must have the money
and she Graves the society of the
opposite sex, to which she is justly
! entitled. She is doomed.''
And unfortunately Chicago does
not stand alone, for right in the
State of West Virginia, the same
! conditions are and little, if any, eff
! fort is made to better them. Is it
not time there was an awakening
and an intelligent effort put forth
to save our daughters and sisters ?
