ISIS TO RUN FEATURE FILMS MONDAY AM) TUESDAY. Piece Adapted From I'liackeroy's Mas. lerpieco, "Vnnlly Fair." This supremely magnificent Vita graph portrayal Is Incomparably dra- mutjc, scintillating with flushes of sa tiric comedy and deep grasps of pa thos and keenest of character studies, depicting society and Incidentally the great battle of Waterloo with all Its thrilling and historic interest. (Continued from Yesterday.) , ltwI Xo. 2. After the marriage of Becky Sharpe and ltawdon Crawley, they take up elegant lodgings at Mayfalr. Rawdon. who Is a captain In the English army. Milling Co. SELLING IN PORTLAND is resplendent In his uniform. They are visited by their military friends, among whom Is the susceptible Lieu tenant Osborne, who is fascinated with the unscruplous Mrs. Crawley. Cap tain Dobbin, kindest and slncerest of friends, Is there with Amelia Osborne and her husband. A week later they sail for Brussels. On board ship OBborne can see noth ing but Mrs. Crawley. At Brussels they attend a ball given by the Duch ess of Richmond, at which Becky meets the .Marquis of Steyne and where they receive notice of the bat tle of Waterloo. At this announce ment all Is excitement and the officers are soon on their way to the scene of action, where Lieutenant Osborne la killed. Cuptaln Dobbin, who has al ways liked Mrs. Osborne, Ime'mdlate'y offers on his return to Brussels, his respectful assistance to the young widow. A month ofter the battle Becky Crawley turns to the ensnaring of Lord Steyne, who with crafty and villainous Intent, lays siege to the ov erthrow of Captain Crawley In order that he may continue his alliance with his wife. Crawley gets heavily In debt at the gaming table of Lord Steyne, is unable to pay, and the unscrupulous lord throws him Into prison, giving himself and Becky a clear field to en joy themselves In each other's com pany: (To Be Continued.) DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IN AL LEYS UNAVOIDABLE. Existing Condition Hard to Itemed) Until Frost Is Gone. Until enough dirt is available to All the Buukeu sewer ditches throughout the sewer districts of the city, ex treme care will be a necessary detail of driving, automobile and team. Al leys, and, in some instances, streets, are In a dangerous condition through dangers from half-filled ditches. Wher ever a sewer lias been laid this winter or Inst fall, the fill-in has depressed more or less and cannot be properly refilled until the weather moderates and frost leaves the ground. In some of the alleys this condition Is serious and extreme precautions should he used by every driver having occasion to enter an alley. Thin coatings of ice often deceive the driver, shielding con dltions that are dangerous. All the street department or the contractors can do right now, It Is said, Is to place obstructions at the deepest ditches and await further thaw. A little pre caution on the part of drivers of teams for the next few days will avert accidents. OT DITCH ) PROBLEM BIG i Further Investigation today, divulg es that Cho Sin, referred to lu yes terday's Observer articles as posBlbly being the Chinaman wantei In Port land In connection with the murder of a Chinaman, Seid B.'ng, there In December, is now in Baker and for many years ran a truck fara. near La Grande, but so far as can be determ ined, never lived In Pendleton. His cousin, Cho Parks, Is also ut Baker and It was Parks that wa Ju La Grande Wednesday and who returned to Baker (not Weiser) yesterday morning. Toy Young and other , well known Chinamen toduy vouched for the excellent character of Cho Sin, and explains the departure of Parks yesterday morning. It seems that Parks came to La Grande from Boise to clear up the estate of a c msin who had died at Boise and he went home yesterday, morning, after completing his business affairs. Just Low the Chinese yesterday afternoon came to assert so vehemently that Clio Sin was In La Grande the day before, Is not explained, but Toy Young gives Ms word that It was Parks, not Cho Sin. How It comes about Vial a Vho Sin Is wanted In ' Purtland ; Is not known for Toy Youiirf who has been la Portland lonalderdbly, kiowg no one In that city by such a name. On the other hand, however, h affirms that the La Grande Cho Sin has been In Baker since leaving Ls Grande some time ago.
