DALLEs MELON CROP POOR

Because of the late and backward
spring, the melon crop OF The Dalles

to the standard as to quantity,
though the quality is excellent. Wa
termelons, a sample OF which was
brought In by G. L. Hazen OF Dry
Hollow, Monday, are said to yield
not to exceed a half crop Canta-
loupes are yielding better, though
they are not so prolific as last year.
Both products are from two to three
weeks later than common. Ordin-
arily water melons begin to appear
in the local markets about August
/, this year August 10 marked the
first showing of the local product.

from one to three weeks before wa

NOTES

Thc Macmillan company will publish
this month dramatic poem entitled
.nrhe WAY OF Perfect Life by Georgl-
ana Goddard king. This poem, while
dramatic in form, is described as lyrical
in content--a decorative com posltioii ~
the style of the Renaissance, and ltal-
5,a,t Iathcr than Elizabethan In tone.
ono OF the most Interesting events Of
tlIe approhching theatrical season Will
doubtless be the production in London,
nv Mr.. Beerbohm Tree, of the new
Stephcn Phillips play. il is not sur
prising that Mr.. Phillips has peen
tempted by a subject that has engaged
"a many poets and dranatists as mas
the Faust legend. For some years 1t
has been understood that he intended
10 produce his own version of "Faust
foyfthe stage. The work Is described
ol, the title page as Freely Adapted
from Goethe's Dramatic Poem, ana
the name of Mr.. j Comyns Carr APP
pears with that of Mr.. Philips, as
Joint author.
An examination OF the new work dis
closes curious relationship WITH
Goethe's Faust In spite of the free
dom OF the rendering, it is a genuine
translation and as such 1t promises
10 take high rank among the best eX-
alnples Of the translators art, me
body of the poem Is, as lnlBHt NC IN
pected, in blank verse, and there are
many passages which Mr. Phillips has
never surpassed for sheer technical eH-
cellence At the same time. 1t is as
tonishing to find how faithful he mas
been to his original and felicitously he
has preserved its spirit. The quotation
or n few lines from the familiar open
ing scene will indicate how simple are
tho means employed and how complete
the success:
"Alas, What boots it to have mastered
