to be the most costly picture ,r ever
shown in this city. ; ' : v . r'!" -
In' addition to its week's run at the
Heilig theatre, Portland, "Avenging
Conscience," broke all attendance rec
ords at the Strand Theatre, New
York, where the manager' declared it
was the greatest picture ever in his
house. At Seattle,, the Melbourne
Theatre showed it to greater throngs
than saw "The Birth of Nation" in
that city. - .',-" ' ;.v..-- :' .:., i
The wonders of film production
have ' been taxed . in , producing
"Avenging Conscience," and it is for
this reason that Mr. Grimth declares
it istwo years ahead of the day. From
many standpoints it marks an entire
ly new era in motion' picture photog
raphy. ' '
The showing ' of ; "Avencing Con
science", in La. Grande will be a not-
we one. -. '
"Avenging Conscionce" is my su
preme achievement. It is a greater
picture than my 'Birth of a Nation.'
It is two years ahead of its time."
So writes D. W. Griffith of his mas
terpiece in six reels, which will be at
the Arcade theatre next Wednesday
and Thursday.
In the picture is perhaps the most
notable cast ever assembled in any
one picture, including Blanche Sweet,
Henry B. Walthall, Mae Marsh, Rob
ert Harron, Ralph Lewis, George
Siegman, Josephine Orowell and
Spottiswoode Aitken in fact, the en
tire cast of "The Birth of a Nation,"
with the addition of Miss Sweet.

Report Bays the .Zone Would Be an
: Ideal Place to Live Were It Net For
the Rainy Tim Death Rata H
: Btan Materially Lowered During the
Laat Year. ,
' The wet season, cot earthquakes, Is
the enemy of the Panama canaL This
appears . from the annual report of
George W. Goethala, governor of the
! canal zone, covering the last fiscal
year .-:vX : .''X',"'-': -:.
He notes that while fourteen seismic
disturbances rattled the dishes along
the canal during the twelvemontb bis
report describes, none did any dam
age. Four were of comparatively local
origin. - Three were violent enough to
be felt generally vef the tone. - . ' '
It 'was during the wet season be
tween . April and October ' that the
Slides developed. As aft Illustration,
operations in the vicinity of the Cuca
racba slide had progressed by Aug. 15.
1914, to a point which warranted open
ing the canal to traffic.
- Two months later a slide came which
completely closed the channel. ' The
entire cast bank slid into the canal' in
a strip 2,100 feet long and reaching
back 1,000 feet' from the bank. The
lower strata squeezed Into the cut, so
that at some points (he forty-five feet
of depth previous to the slide was
shoaled to nine inches. ' K ;Vi
; ,Nw Channel In Six Days.
In six days a new channel bad been
cut capacious enough to pass shipping.
The movement continued, however,
after the beginning of the dry season,
so' that It became necessary to close
the canal again from Oct. 31 U Nov.
14 and from March 4 to MarCb 10.
The Galllard cut, ' after , remaining
fixed for year, began' demonstra
tion last June. By the SOth of the
month 5,000,000 cubic yards had slip
ped relentlessly Into the canal, nulli
fying toe labor of years. i v :
" 'At times the channel shoaled so rap
Idly that It was necessary to drag
after' the passage' of each ship.. In
some Instances dredging was required,
before the next vessel could pass. ' ;
Miscellaneous dredging was kept up
throughout the year. A total of 1246,
815 cubic yards of earth and 98,686
cubic yards of rock were taken out at
the Pacific' terminals.'"'. ,
Conditions Otherwlso Idaal.
Were it not for the slides the tone
would appear, from the governor's re
port,, to offer Ideal conditions of resi
dence. Living is cheap and surround
ings are healthful. , '. ;. t
A compilation of expenditures shows
that the average amount spent for
breakfast, at Cristobal was SIS cents,
for luncheon 29.71 cents and for din
ner 81.42 cents. At the Ancon hotel
breakfast cost on an ,. average .19.5
cents, luncheon' 83.2 cents and dinner
80.7 cents. ' ;
On the health side It Is noted that
the death rate was cut from 7.92 for
1914 to 5.72 for 1915. The death rate
from disease was cut from 5.17 to 8.01.
'Between Aug. 15, 1914, and June 80,
1915, 630 vessels, representing a net
Panama.cansl tonnage of 1,884,728 and
cargo tonnage of 2,125,735, were pass
ed through from Atlantic to Pacific,
and 558 vessels, representing a Pan
ama canal tonnage of 1,958,307 and a
cargo tonnage of 2,844,057, from Pa
cific to Atlantic, making a total of
1,088 vessels, with a net canul tonnage
of 3,843,035 and a cargo tonnage of
4,909.792. v
On finances the report-says:
"The current expenses charged to
operation and maintenance of the ca
nal during the year amounted to $4,-
112.550.48, .while $100,008.52 had been
charged during the previous year, a to
tal of $4,289,159. Tolls collected for
vessels passing through the canal dur
ing the year amounted to $4,343,383.09;
tolls for the prior year amounted to
$14,018.08. a total of $4,358,002.37 to
Juue 30, 1915. v
Excess of Tolls, $214,833.21.
"The excess of tolls collected over
the current charges for the year was
$214,833.21. and for the entire period i
to June 30, 1915, the excess was $08,- ,
843.37. It is roughly estimated that
total refunds may aggregate $400,000,
which will show an excess of operat
ing expenses over collections.
"Congress has appropriated for the
canal $394,399,140.02 to June 30, 1915.
Of this $305,099,116.72 has been appro
priated for the construction of the ca
nal and Its adjuncts." ....
