ASTORIA Is ALRIGHT.


Astoria is one of the failureless
towns of the Northwest. If you dom
believe it, scan the statements OF her
two leading banks in this issue oi
this paper and make a few specific
INQUIRIES as to the other two banking
houses here. The banks of a city
are the financial guages OF public and
private credit and security of a COM
munity; their soundness reflects the
stability OF the businesses that keer
those banks alive and make for the
commercial status of the place and
its allied territory; and we are willing
to put this guage out to all men, a:
the best indication we have OF the
sureness and safety of things here
and we want no better.
We reiterate our boast, for the
benefit of all inquirers abroad, thai
we have fewer idle people, fewer de-
pendent people, fewer felons ant
fewer failures of any kind, than any
city of $4,000 population in the United
States. And the meat of the boast
is its truth!

OLD ARKANSAW.

Is termed melo-dramatic comedy,
There is an interesting plot replete
with thrilling situations that make
you hold your breath in the excite
ment OF the scenes. There are scenic
and mechanical effects that make you
wonder how such realistic effects
can be produced on y stage. The
thrilling reproduction of the famous
Blue Cut hold-up, the excited mob,
eager to lynch the supposed culprit,
the jealous woman who turns detee-
tive and delivers the real criminal,
are few of the interesting dra-
matte situations. Among the char.
aeters are old Jeremiah Snodgrass,
who will keep you laughing all the
time he Is before you. A more pccu-
liar, laughable character has never
been conceived. his old songs sung
in true Arkansas style. being some
Of the funniest bits Of realism ever
heard. Old Arkansaw is a we'll told
story--a real play with real plot,
and is portrayed by company OF the
very best people in the theatrical pro-
fession. A carload Of special scenery
and many new and novel effects and
mechanical devices all combine in
making this the dramatic and comedy
event OF the season.

accompany the American feet on its
great cruise from the Atlantic to the

deliberate and gratuitous sensational

A WITTY JUDGE.
His Conclusions on the Evidence Of
Ditto and True.


Ditto and True.
The late Hon. Noah Davis, well
known throughout the country as the
Judge who tried and sentenced Boss
Tweed, was justly celebrated In many
ways. He was Of that type OF juris'

was a well read lawyer, an honest,
fair minded judge, with a keen sense
of humor and wlthal something OF o

from his pen, written on the spur Of
the moment and In the midst OF q trial,
illustrate the alertness and quality OF
his mind. They are perhaps the best
play upon words Of which we have any
record In the English language.

early seventies. Judge Davis presided.

The dispute was over party wall or

Ing this, called as expert witnesses the
Hon. John A. Ditto, city engineer Of
Buffalo, and the Hon. A. II. True, the
engineer who constructed the canta
lever bridge over Niagara river at the
falls. They were two Of the most emil
nent civil engineers in the state. They
made a survey Of the premises and es'
tablished the division line as contended
for by the defendant and when called

SO they, being sent forth by the

DIRECTOR SMITH FINDS
MANA LAND VERY BAD

Director Jared G. Smith, of the Ha-
wall Experiment Station, has reported
to Governor Frear on his inspection
of the Mana land on Kauai, the sale
of which on Knudsen Bros applica
ton stands postponed owing TO pro-
tests. He states there is not more
than 100 acres of the 1000 which would
be suitable for raising .cocoanuts. The
tract he regards as entirely unsuited
for demonstrating purposes, and he
does not consider it even well adapted
to the cultivation of sisal. There is a
depth of three or four feet of sand on
a stratum of very hard bed rock.
Rafnfalls are rare and the land is
windswept. An artesian we'll flows
100000 gallons a day with Is grains
of salt to the gallon. and when pump
ed will make 100000 gallons with 40
grains of salt.
The proportion of salt is not killing
for sugar cane irrigation, but Keka-
ha Sugar Co. found, on trial of the
land, that the ground took so much
water that irrigating it proved too ex-
pensive. Only a small portion of it
could be irrigated. although that por-
ton yielded five tons of sugar to the
acre.
Governor Frear, while not yet hav-
ing made a decision, thinks that Mr..
Smiths report indicates that the Ter
ritory could not do better than carry
out the original plan of sale.

mitted outrages on chiefs at the Bay
of Islands and was killed with twenty

company of the British ship Boyd,
seventy in all, were slain, after fog
