PRAISES MISS HARPER.

The Salem Statesman" has this to
say OF the Georgia Harper Company,
which will open here at the Astoria
Theatre next week:
at was small audience that
greeted the opening performance Of
the Georgia Harper Company at the
opera house last night, but those who
attended were we'll entertained by a
most finished performance Of that Of
that old and we'll known romance Of
Drury Lane and Charles II Of Eng
land, Nell Gwynn. The name part
was taken by Miss Georgia Harper,
and to say that she did we'll would
but be faint praise and much below
what she deserves in criticism. Her
rendition was marked by an excep-
tionally clear enunciation backed up
by very pretty face. The bits of
comedy interpolated here and there
in the part give to the character a
lightness that is missing in most in
terpretations and was very pleasing
In the heavier parts Miss Harper
sustained the character well, and
proved herself to be possessed Of con

PLANS A WORLD BEATER.

A world beater without doubt will
be the battleship authorized few
days ago by England, but for how
long will probably be determined BY
Germany. The two countries are
such frenzied competitors in marine
affairs, along both commercial and
military lines, that the Kaiser is
likely to order a ship that will excel
the new leviathan of the British. The
battleship planned by the Admiralty
will be OF $1,000 tonnage and is to
cost about $ll,000000. Instead Of
having i2-inch guns, such as the
Dreadnaught type carry, her main
battery will be composed OF l3.5-inch
rifles. Another feature will be the
installation of gas engines to take
the place Of steam. At the next
Hague conference the advisability Of
limiting the size of battleships might
be subject for discussion. 1t is a
fearful pace that is being set.-Ex-

the flag in these words: The flag

sanctihed in the blood Of patriots and

1t is the standard OF civil and re-

7SYSTEM OF SEWERS
 FOR CITY OF FL CENTRIC
TRUSTEES INVESTIGATING SEP.
 TIC TANK AND FARM PLAN.

outfalI to New River not Favored Be- cause of Probable Objection of Brawley to Pollution of Stream Tax Ordinance Introdueed-ouar- ters for City Government.
Imperial Valley press., 1908-05-23

The most important action of the
 City Board of Trustees at it's adjourn
 ed meeting Tuesday evening was on
 the proposition to establish a sewer
 system at Bl Centro.
 A petition was presented, signed by 103 of the principal business men and taxpayers of El Centro, asking that a
 system of sewerage be decided upon, and that steps be taken to call bond
 election to provide for it's construc- tion. After general discussion, a con- mittee composed of Trustees Brown, 'Pellett and Buttress was appointed by President Pearson to make a general investigation as to the best system for the conditions found here and the approximate cost of the same.
 Several plans were discussed, but the general opinion seemed to be that septic tank would be the best, and that the establishment of a sewer farm, in conjunction with the system, might prove a matter of profit to the municipality.
 One plan suggested was that of tjoining with Imperial in the construc- tion of main running from El Cen tro to that town, and thence to the New River. Probable litigation from Brawley, because of a discharge of sewage into New River, however, caused this plan to meet with little flavor. It was asserted that offers would be made by individuals for the care of sewage, which would be ad- |vantageous to the town, in case a gsewer system is installed.
 The city's proposed scheme of tax |ation, as embodied in an ordinance seven or eight columns in length, was given it's first reading, and will be |passed upon at the next regular meet ling.
 A proposition was received from the Peoples Abstract & Trust Company, offering to lease for the purpose of a |eity hall portion of it's building on Main street, at monthly rental of 1920. Trustees Brown, Buttress and Hamilton were empowered to secure lthis lease, if they deemed it advisable, and to purchase the necessary furni- sure and fittings for the city's head Iluarters.
 Various proposed legislation was discussed, and this included ordi- nances regulating the placing of sign

Since Tuesday, Mr.. Belmont had
been in a state OF coma, and. when
his physician, DR.. Lanehart, after an
all-night vigil. decided shortly before
daylight that death was near, the fam
lily was called to the bedside OF the
dying millionaire.
The last Saturday in May, although
the day was rainy and the air raw. he
went down TO Belmont Park TO wit
ness the running of the Belmont
stakes.
At the time he appeared TO have
suffered no i'll effects from the expos
ure and enjoyed the sport thoroughly.
When the physicians were called on
Monday, however. and diagnosed his
illness as appendicitis they found his
heart in such a condition that there
was much hesitation before a decision
to perform an operation was reached.
On Thursday. however, IL became ap-
parent that the only hope for his re-
covery lay in an operation.
