"One must make beginning" she says, and the little Dom ino" two-step is a gay and happy be- ginning, indeed, and has in it a great deal of music. One feels when hearing her play it that it has in it the bub- bling gayety of her musfc-loving, dance loving youth. Her friends all hope that this is simply a foretaste of the good things to be done later. Have you played your Domino Rag for your teacher2" she was asked yesterday. "Yes" she said, rather rueful1y. "She found I had it-accidentally" What did she say?" I persisted. 'rWhy, just that she hoped I would compose something much bigger soon." The Lew Roberts company in Nashville is publishing this composition. She is studying with MT. and Mrs. Gus sen.
 Miss Powers has been a student of music since she was a tiny girl. She plays charmingly and her repertoire is extensive for one so young, embracing many of the most exquisite productions of the masters.

II was also announced that there IL
"a movement on foot to remove the

Manager Whyte stated that thee
are many Inquiries about the logged

IL could get possession Of large
tract. There have been about 300 let
tiers received in regard to Icgged-off
lands.
The suggestion was made that the
Chamber make an arrangement with
some reputable realty firm Of Seattle
to become an agent for Astoria and
Clatsop county lands, the idea being
that much good could be accomplish
ed ! nthis way. Nearly all who come
to Oregon first stop off in Seattle. It
was also suggested that the same arr
rangement be made in Portland; and
that il might be good idea II a large
electric sign advertising Astoria were
maintained at the Portland depot.
Mr. Finlayson followed this up by go-
ing it one better. He suggested it
might be good plan to have phon-
graph, or man with a megaphone, to
meet all the Seattle trains, and either
the man with the megaphone or the
phonograph could then sing out the
advantages Of Astoria. Mr.. Finlay-
son did not state whether be meant

There can Be no questioning the
generally admitted fact that the play
Of Arizona, as presented at the As
toria theatre on Sunday night last
was the finest dramatic presentment
made here this season The produc-
ton was Hollis 4. Cooley's triumph,
borne out by a group Of earnest, COM
petent people, none Of whom failed a.
any point in the long and powerful
story, one Of the best ever written by
Augustus Thomas.
The house was about half-flled
when It should have overhowed with
an audience that would have been as
pleased as were the few that saved
the advantage Of attending. There
was lesson in faithful work in this
rendition of the famous play Of the
plains. There was an excellence main
tanned throughout that made it 2
masterpiece and grati6ed everyone
who witnessed il. In point Of pains
taking, ardent and arduous work, no
distinction may be made as among the

Moneys Paid OUT

City Treasurer Dealey yesterday
paid out the sum Of Si6i7.75 on gen
eral fund warrants and SSo4 on street
Improvement warrants There is
still a considerable amount of money
in the hands of the treasurer on which
the warrants have been called and in
terest stopped, for despite the official
call OF the warrants and the numerous
allusions to the matter in the papers
some Of those who hold the warrants
don't seem TO want to get their
money. One business firm that re-
eeiyed some Of its money yesterday
seemed disposed to growl because the
money had been lying there without
earning them any interest, though i
is difficult to see what else could be
done, unless the city treasurer would
90 in person and beg them TO come
to bis office and get their money.
