ASHTON COMPANY TO
CLOSE DOWN
SUMMER STOCK HAS NOT
PROVEN A DECIDED Sue
! CESS = MANAGER HAGAR TO
PRESENT MOVING PICTURES

After five weeks OF more or less
successful venture at the Hagar
Theatre the Ashton Stock Company
will close down after the drop OF the
curtain on the play tonight. The
company has done excellent work
and the players have made many
friends among the theatre goers OF
Astoria, but the season seems to have
demonstrated pretty well that sum
mer stock plays will hardly pay in
Astoria, especially when there are
two companies here at the same time
Mr.. Ashton, it is understood, will go
to the beach for we'll earned rest, as
he has hardly had a days vacation in
a year or more, and other of the COM
pny will also pass short time listen
ing to the tales that the sea waves
tell.
Mr.. Hager, proprietor OF the play
house, will not close it down, how
ever, but will start in at once with
picture show of first class
kind. He AYERS that he will be able
to show pictures Of the very highest
kind and to present them while they
are yet new in the state, having the
exclusive agency for his series Of pic
lures in this community.
Meantime the Astoria theatre,
where the Georgia Harper company
has the boards, still remains open
and that excellent company is pre-
senting some good plays. 1t is prob
lble now with but one company pre-
,enting stock that the Harper Com !
,any may be able TO secure houses
more in keeping with the size Of the
own and the character of the COM
,any Both the Ashton and Harper
Iggregations have been worthy Of far
more worthy support than they have
'een receiving, it would appear.

CITIZEN UPON A THEME
WORTHY OF THOUGHT.

The following communication con
tains some 'meaty' suggestions ans
lis written in broad spirit, II con
tains the essential points Of rea
Statewide development SO far as the
treatment OF the Columbia river and
Its great valley is concerned and is
from the pen OF one OF Astoria's best
informed (though somewhat modest)
citizens:
July rs, 1908,
Editor Astorian;
| The General Government has, we
are informed by reliable authority, ex-
pended Sl.S0000000 on the channel
OF the Columbia and Willamette riv-
ers below Portland, The expenditure
has not put one dollar into the pock-
cts OF the producers Of the northwest,
The same authority informs us that
the United States engineer recently
in charge OF this district has recon-
mended that Congress appropriate
100000 annually, to be used in dredg.
ing the river channel below Portland
OF course this 100000 per annum,
il appropriated, will be charged up
to the opening of the Columbia, and
will reduce other appropriations by
just that amonnt Supposing this
100000 were TO be used in removing
at Cello and The Dal.
les would not the producers OF the
receive greater benefit there
from than il it is used in dredging
out a river already navigable' Sup
posing the 81 100000 already expend
ed by the government in dredging |
the lower river had been used in op- |
ening the upper river to navigation;
would not all Oregon, as we'll as the
entire Inland Empire, have prohted
to a greater extent thereby than they I
have pro6ted by its expenditure on
the lower river, which has been navi- /
gable at all times?
Owing to the fact that the Colum
bia at The Dalles has been unnavi-
gable, the railroads have had the FIX
ing of rates on products from east OF
the Cascade Mountains, and have
made the rates, as usual in such cases,
all the products would bear. The 0.
R. & N. Company has charged as
much for hauling products down the
Columbia pass, on water grade, to
Portland, as has been charged by
,ther roads for hauling across the Cas-
,ade mountains, over high grades,
greater distances, TO Puget Sound
f the Columbia river was opened TO
navigation there would be change
n this respect, and the producers
would get some OF the benefits to
which they are entitled by virtue Of
living in a country that nature has
avored This they have never enjoy
ID, and it is time that they should.
There are two things Of prime i'm
'ortance to the northwest country
!, Deep water at the mouth Of the
Columbia, and, 2, opening OF the Co
umbia to inland navigation, through +,
'ut its entire length When these are
ccomplished, and not until then, will
he producers Of the country reap the
eward to which they are entitled.

ORDERS ARE PLACED
FOR BIG CHANGE
PACIFIC STATES TELEPHONE
COMPANY TO PUT IN FULL
MODERN EQUIPMENT AT
ASTORIA BY JAN. /, 1909.

Manager ]. Andrew Brunold, OF the
Astoria branch OF the Pacific States
Telephone Company is, perhaps, the
happiest man in the city,; for, after
weeks OF annoyance and turmoil in
cident to the recent campaign for a
new and distinctive deal in telephone
service, in which he has manfully
| supported his company in the face Of
deliberate, yet justihable, series of
lreproachful and arbitrary attacks
upon its ancient system and archaic
service, he has received a wire from
Division Superintendent J. w. Gilky-
son, OF Oregon, now in California
conferring with his superiors, saying,
that he (Gilkyson) will start north
Immediately, and that he brings with
him, full plans and specifications for
the new Office building of his company
to be erected on its Exchange street
site at once; that he is under orders
to perfect the work OF re-wiring al
ready commenced and largely com
pleted; that all subscribers phones
are to be changed for up-to-date in
struments, and finally, that a new,
modern, common-battery switchboard
will be installed here and the entire
scheme of renovation and re-equip-
ment will be completed and ready for
use and service by the first day OF
January, 1909; and that ample author
ity has been given for the prosecution
of these Improvements, within that
time.
This is excellent news; the news
that Astoria should have had two
years ago. But, all the same, it is
good, and every eye in this city will
be on the lookout for the initial signs
of the new departure, and will hail
each succeeding step of the work
gladly and give due credit for it as
it transpires. But every gap, all
laches and delay, will be noted, as
we'll; and the Astorians will not put
up with any too much Of it, either.
They will be only too glad to see the
company make good, and it is strictly
up to the P. S. T. people.
The news is worth a great deal to
all concerned, not the least Of whom
is the Pacific States Telephone Com
pany.
