State Help For
Astoria Promised

A score or more Of representatives
and about dozen senators of the
next Oregon legislature assembled in
Portland, Monday afternoon, in con-
ference with Acting Governor Ritner,
Governor-elect Pierce and the com
mittee of 10 from Astoria, and in
dicated their willingness to do what
is possible in the way of state aid
for the rebuilding of street through
the stricken city, reports the journal.
Those present were not pledged to
definite program of procedure, but
a committee of five was appointed to
outline such plan, after it confers
with Governor-elect Pierce, the state
highway commission and the Astoria
relief committee. This report is to
be forwarded to Milton H. Klepper,
who was chairman Of the meeting,
and he may call a meeting of the
Legislators to further consider it.
This action followed a general dis
cussion of the situation and the dec
laration from members Of the Astoria
delegation that if aid is not extended
to the unfortunate city it will 60
bankrupt. Governor-elect Pierce,
who was greeted with hearty APP
plause, declared that one of the sad
dest things in the history of Oregon
has happened to Astoria, and that he
is in full accord with the idea of
state relief.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
A SPLENDID SCHOOL PLAY

One of the best comedies ever given
by local talent, was presented by Ath-
ena high school at the auditorium
last night to an appreciative and
greatly pleased audience. The char
acters were well sustained and the
acting did credit to the cast and the
director, Miss Morgan.
The leading parts were well acted,
and the cast as whole, balanced up
very satisfactorily. In the leading
roles, Leon Kretzer, as Mr.. Ralston;
Velton Read, playing the part of Van
Duesen; Brooks Anderson,as Bennett;
James Hodgen, as Donnely; Byerl
Hodgen, as the Bishop; Sadie Pam
brun, in the role of Gwendolyn Raj
ston, and Ruth Hutt, as Mrs. Ralston,
were at their best and did better
work than they ever did in any school
play in the past.
Walthia Haynie was fine in the role
of Ethel Clark, and as flappers,
Blanche Wilson and Leota Johnson in
the parts of Mable and Sable Jack
son, brought down the house" time
and again. Geneieve Rogers was
splendid as the maid.
The proceeds will be. used to defray
the expense of publishing the Athena
High School Annual. The gross re-
ceipts amounted to $4,000 and after
expenses are paid, about $1,000 will
accrue to the fund.

INTEREST is KEEN in "
BASKETBALL ACTIVITY HERE

With the opening of the basketball
season here, in which three practice
games have been played during the
past week, keen interest has been
developed.
Coach Basler starts the season
with what is perhaps the strongest
lineup for basketball, the Athena
school has ever put up. In addition to
four of last years crack quintet,
Shick is coming strong in Geissels
position, and there is good material
in the second team to draw from in
emergency.
In the practice games played dur
ing the past week the team has shown
up well. It defeated Adams 20 to II,
and the Helix town team, So to %.
On return game with Adams, Ath-
ena lost by the close score of 27 to 28.
Adams got the hop-off this season
by starting practice early in the seas
in, while the other schools were at
football. She has good team and
by all means should enter the con-
ference for the scheduled games be-
ginning the first of the new year.
The games being played at present
have no standing in the conference
games. Coach Basler has a much
better schedule lined up for this year
than he had last season. The schedule
includes games with Walla Walla,
Baker and Pendleton. It is expected
that Athena will play Walla Walla a
game next week.

laws so that farm lands and improve

The recommendation Is one Of the
most sweeping that the committee

is the advisability of such a measure.
There has been a difference of opinion
as to whether there should be a flat
rate or progressive rate. The COM
mittee, by majority, favors the former.
