No More Lands

AT the Office Of the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday il was said that
all of the free government lands in
clatsop county have now been taken
up. Until recently the maps showed
that there were still tracts aggregat-
ing about 1900 acres, but it is under
stood that one OF the railway COM
panies has recently filed upon all Of
this, under some provision that per-
nits it to take up d certain amount
of government lands, though just
how is not clear. The members OF
one of the Astoria realty firms said
yesterday that there is no longer any
land in the county that may be home
>teaded, save perhaps an occasional
forty on some mountain top. AT all
events the Chamber Of Commerce
knows OF none at all

here during the rcgatta-died AZ the
Corvallis fair The child that was
shown here at 10 cents per head was
puny, and apparently dying then, and
how it Is that such an inhuman prac-
tice is permitted seems difficult to un-
dcrstand. How sickly child jolted
around the couRtry in heated box
can be expected to live Is side Of
the matter that the Snowman natur-
ally doesn't both about. These senti-
ments were expressly by one Of the
Corvallis papers and apparently they
have application here.

New Teacher

Superintendent Clark yesterday re-
eeived a telegram from Fred T..
Schmidke, Of Fayettc. Ia., stating
that he would accept the proposition
~ teach The science and German
classes in the Astoria high school. 1t
has been an exceedingly difficult
matter to procure the services Of a
competent man teacher to take these
branches, principally because the AS
toria schools offer a comparatively
small salary for the position. All Of
the teaching force has now been en-
gagged and most Of the teachers are
now on the ground in readiness for
the opening OF the schools.

MANY ASTOR|ANS TAKEN
. BACK TO MISSOURI
ED. RAYMOND's COMPANY I'M
WELL KNOWN PLAY AT oP-
ERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT

The Astoria theatre was flied last
might 70 witness the performance Of
THE Missouri Girl" as produced by
Fred Raymond's capable company.
The play deals with life III old Mis-
souri, and while there Is a sweet pa
thetic story running through the
piece, there Is still plenty n good.
wholesome comedy and dramatic Sit
uations.
The title roll was in the hands of
the well known and popular young
actress Miss Sadie Raymond and to
say that she handled the part in
good style would'be putting it mildly
indeed Miss Raymonds portrature
Of the part was fine and her splendid
acting supported BY the entire, com
pany gave naturalness and atmos-
phere, such to make one forget that
he was looking upon mimic scene
and think he was back in old Mis-
souri,
Next to share the honors Of the
evening from the standpoint Of the
audience was "Zeke' the country boy.
Between Zeke and Daisy" the mis-
souri, GirI' It was hard to tell indeed
which one furnished the most Of the
comedy and comical situations. Mr..
Farrell, who played "Zeke" is an nm
usual tall man. and with the aid OF
the tight fitting clothes he wore his
height looked greatly increased, and
as Daisy was rather short the pair
presented a most comical picture,
and brought round Of laughter and
applause from the audience, even
when just standing silently side by
side.
The plot of the piece seems to be
secondary consideration, as it was
clear from the performance that the
members Of the cast worked more
for the comedy in the piece than for
the story itself. Still the vein Of the
play was good: yes a good deal bet
ter than many Of the popular 'price
plays that have visited Astoria. 1t
was sensational, and at times bor-
dered upon the meio-dramatic. but al
ways remained with the bounds of
the possible. and not going beyond
the possible as is the case with
pieces Of the melodramatic variety.
"The Missouri GirI' was just what
the public turned out to see last
night, and they saw just what they
expected. A rural play with plenty
of comedy and opportunities to laugh
and that they enjoyed it was more
than evident
The company as whole was even
" balanced Miss Rae Filburn the
character woman who handled the
part of Mr. Grub, who could talk
some when she got started gave a
good performance. as did Mr. Chas.
Payne who was seen as her husband
Mr., Grubb. The specialties given
we're good and thoroughly enjoyed,
especially the song Silver Threads
Among the Gold" by the well known
lady baratone Miss Blanch Edwards
who won hearty applause by her ex
cellent singing. Other specialties by
members Of the company met with
the APPROVAL Of their hearers.
