"a COUNTRY GIRL"
Popular Play Booked for Tomorrow
Night at the Grand.

That there is great demand from all
theatrical managers from all over the
country for "a Country Girl" was dem
onstrated by the fact that when the
present tour Of sixty weeks was booked,
enough time had been refused to ill an
other equally long season. There is no
doubt that this musical play has set a
place in the comic opera field that will
be hard to beat. Its record in London,
New York. Boston and Chicago will no
doubt stand for some time to come.
And. the popularity of the piece is still
increasing. The Augustin DAILY Musical
company will present the play here to.
morrow evening, which means that the
theater will be crowded to the doors on
this occasion. The company numbers
seventy.fve people, and large orchestra.
1t is the largest and most expensive Or
ganization that has ever appeared here.
In fact it is the FIRST time that this com.
pany has appeared in this city.

Argument of Dr.. Beach. Croft
Suggests Compromise.

Special to the HERALD
OLYMPIA, Feb !9.-The Grays Harbol
bill came up for second reading yester.
day afternoon, after which Hogan oi
Chehalis moved suspension OF the rules
to put it on final passage which motion
carried, Sayre OF Pierce protesting against
voting go hastily on matter of 80 great
importance to the state, Renick OF King,
demanded call of the house, but as il
was found practically all Of the members
were present, further action under the
call was suspended on motion of Reid.
BY this time the galleries were crowd
ed with friends and opponents Of the
bill, and others attracted by the expec-
tation OF an interesting discussion. Ho-
gan Of Chehals spoke at length in favor
OF county division. He discussed the
matters OF territory involved and other
questions. and said finally that so much
bitterness had been aroused by the div
sion fight that it was almost necessary
to pass the bill.
Beach, OF Mason, spoke in opposition,
remarking that he represented tax pay
ers, who owned 20. 900 acres in the pro-
posed county. He declared that defeat
OF his oyster bill had been threatened if
he opposed county division. He said he
knew the county thoroughly, that it was
a rich and prosperous community free
from debt until few years ago when it
was struck by an influx OF ward heelers
and land boomers. These, he said, soon
plunged the county far into debt, when
it became necessary to call upon the
sturdy old pioneers to pull the county
out OF the hole. These old men who
had made the county what it s,respond-
ed nobly to the demand and in conse-
quence today the county is we'll out of
debt. To divide the county, as is pro-
posed, he said. was an injustice to the
oldtimers. unfair in every way and he
declared he was everlastingly opposed to
it.
There was wild applause from the anti
division crowd in the gallery when he
concluded. Hogan then asked If Beach,
a few days before, had not declared him.
self in favor OF the bill, and had only
changed his position after receiving
telegram from Mason county logging
company. Beach quibbled at first say.
ing he had not heard from the Mason
county logging company, but finally ad.
mitted that he had received telegram
from the Simpson Logging Company of
Mason county, and Hogan made a bit
by saying: eve will admit that quite
a number Of nonresident timbermen
are opposed to county DIVISION" Beach

buildings have been erected. About
13O acres are now in strawberries.
Over 10000 peach trees have reached

pears, plums and dewberries have
been estab blished, and vegetables are

The transplanting is done in tie fall,
