The Blessed Isles.

Mr.. Galsworhy, arguing for the austere, finely
chiseled drama Of character, laments the fate OF
characters in the more conventional type of play
impaed on row of stakes, SO to speak, characters
no would have liked to live, but came to untnely
grief who started bravey. but fell on these stakes,
placed beforehand in a row, and were transfxed
one by one while their ghosts stride on squeaking
and gibbering, through the play
In holding out for his stern ideal Mr. Galsworthy
ignores for the moment the fact that people do not
always want something they can get their teeth
into; that and then they demand in the thea
ire the pleasure Of play" in It's literal sense, Of
making the stage conventions sort of game which
all concerned conduct with straight faces like chill
dren with their make-believe.
The polished villain of Drury Lane melodrama is
impaled on stake, to be sure, and there Is pre-
csey the fun Of the thing. Everybody knows from
fond experience just how he will tap his cigarette
on his gold cigarette case and say Curses" And
when he does these things exactly as ne has always
done them the spectator somehow returns to the

stacy. yet fresh and amusing always, because in a
light and unpretentious way they embody large
general truth.
Mr.. Pnero wrote The Amazons" long before he
was knighted had been driven by the chan sing
dramatic fashions to go in for relentless realism
when he was still light man of the theatre.

The Substantial Needs of the Philippines

Mr. Worcester touches one OF the salient points
of the Philippine problem when he says that the
responsible Filipino property owner does not want
independence at present. That is really brief
summing up of the detailed statement which pre-

would have been made had our forces scuttled out

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

According TO a downtown jewellor, the abnormally
warm weather of the last week gave a great boost
70 the watch repairing business. High tempcra-
ture will certainly break mainsprngs said the
ieweler "A handspring will rarely break when
the mercury is at or below GS. Our biggest busl-
ness in putting in mainsprngs Is in the
summer on November 20 We had twenty-five
watches brought in here with broken springs
Ordinarily We would average about twenty or thirty
for the entire month of November. II is safe TO
say that 400 jewellers in this town had an average

LAST WEEK OF QUEEN
RACE WILL Be LIVELY
Miss Olbnch and Miss Pillet Making
Close Run-Big Dance to Close
Contest. Friday. 10Th

With just week intervening be-
fore the close of the contest which
will determine who is to be Carni-
val Queen, pretty race has devel-
oped between the remaining con-
tenders, Miss Frances Olbrich and
Miss Hazel Pillet.
Both young ladies are 80 popular
with the townspeople and it is so
evident that either will make a
most charming Queen, that there
is little use in trying to make even
guess at the outcome. At present
it is anybody's race and it is easy to
predict an exciting finish during the
last few hours of voting which will
take place at the election dance
next Friday evening, the 10Th.
Hundreds of tickets to this dance
have been sold by each candidate
and that there will be some crowd"
goes without saying. In anticipa-
ton of the crush, the Queen COM
mittee have decided to issue spec
tator's tickets at 25 cents each,
! which will include 200 votes.

bia waterways are of vital interest
to the railway lines in that the
final results must necessarily show
tremendous increase in tonnage.
Indeed the association leaders take
the view that the improvement of
the Columbia waterway should re-
ceive the hearty cooperation of all
railroads. The Kennewick meeting,
it is to be hoped. will result in a
straightforward conference of all
business interests looking to the
completion of this important work
at an early date.

MOVE NURSERY
TO KENNEW|Ck
Breithaupt Bros. OF Richland Lease
One Hundred Acres Of
Meadowbrook Tract

The Meadowbrook Farm Co. have
| eased approximately 100 acrss of
their tract east of this city to
Breithaupt Bros. of Richland for a
term of three years. The lessees
are owners of the Richland Nursery
Co. and a considerable portion of
the nursery stock will be moved to
Kennewick this winter and will be
in charge of w. J. Breithaupt who
will make his home here after jan
uary 1st. The company's head
quarters will be maintained at Rich
land for the present.
The major portion of the land
which has been leased by the nur-
sery consists of FIVE and ten-acre
tracts set to apples and owned by
outside parties under contract
which provides that the orchards
be cared for until they come into
the bearing stage. The lessees have
undertaken the fullfllment of these
contracts and will utilize the space
between the tree rows for the grow.
ing of nursery stock. A small tract
within the city will also be acquired
for the Horticulture department of
t he business and for the location of
the company's Office.
The main reason for the COM
pany's move is the need for better
facilities for shipping their stock
and probably means that eventual
ly their headquarters will be moved
to this city.
The arrangement will not effect
the livestock business of the Meadow
brook Co., which will be operated
as at present on that portion of the
company's land not included in the
lease.

ABLE SPEAKERS
TOBE HEARD HERE
Waterways Convention to be Ad-
dressed by Men Most Promi-
nent in Open River Work

Formulation of plans for the
fourth regular fall meeting of the
Columbia and Snake Rivers Water
ways Association to be held in Ken
newick September 1926. are we'll
under way under the direction of
Geo. F. Richardson, president of
the association, and Wallace R..
Struble, secretary, Lewiston, Idaho.
From the fact that the dates of this
meeting coincide with the dates of
the Third Annual Grape Carnival.
it is believed that Kennewick will
be the scene of large outpouring
of the people of the Inland Empire.
The further fact that the Water
ways Association will, in addition
to its consideration of matters re-
lating to the deepening of the upper
rivers, also take up the discussion
of the great work proposed by the
committee of the Ports of the Column
bia, justifies the belief that repre-
sentative attendance of leading bus
mess men from all sections of the
Columbia watershed will be in at
tendance.
Urgent invitations are being sent
to all commercial bodies of the In
land Empire and the Columbia
River basin and prominent men
interested in the development of
the Columbia Waterways have been
asked to be present and speak at the
meeting.
Among the speakers, according
to a recent bulletin from Secretary
Struble, will be DIR. Alfred Kinney
of Astoria, chairman of the Com
mittee of the Ports of the Columbia,
who will speak upon the proposed
work of his committee. Joseph N !.
Teal of Portland. prominent in the
transportation work of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and an open
river advocate of national reputa-
tion, will deliver an address. Hon.
M. G.. George, Ex-Congressman OF
Oregon, will talk upon the Develop
ment of the Ports OF the Columbia. y
