Washington. Now, in the name of all
fairness, why do they rot refer to the
counties in Oregon where bonds have
been voted? Jackson county where
they bonded for ?5QO,000 has seven
teen miles of hard surfaced road ;
about 20 miles more graded road
which is ready for surfacing
and are now using 20 per cent of
the state highway fund to help out.
Washington county bonded to th)
limit, with practically no hard surface
and grades in such a shape that the
roads are in worse condition than be
fore th3 bonds were voted: Clatsop
county bonded for roads. The only
hard surface they have is laid on the
gravel road they already had built, so
they practically got no benefit from it.
Hood River county bonded to the lim
it has only half the grade made and
are asking the state to come to their
'relief and finish it.
Why don't they refer to the city ,o"
Spokane where they own their own
road building plant, and are actually
building bitulithic pavement at a cost
of 80 cents per yard. This I got fboni
the city engineer at Spokane.
Voters, think before you vote for
this bond issue.
As to the amount of the cost to re
main in the county after the a-oad ii
built, I refer you to the city of V
G:ande and any other city havhr
their streets paved by nny of the pa
ing companies. -

William F. Russell, or, as he is
known more familiarly to moving pic
ture fans all ovei the country, "Big
Bill," star in the Mutual Mimterpie
ture, Do Luxe Edition "The Bruiser,"
a five part drama which comes to the
Sherry theatre tomorrow, is one of
tibe most proficient of living boxers.
Many expert writers on prize fighting
say that he easily could have been
one of the leading pugilists had he
chosen a ring career instead of the
Hilent drama.
His knowledge of boxing stand him
in good stead in his latest production,
as he is forced to go four gruelling
rounds with AI Kauffman, a pugilist
of considerable reputation and more
than ordinary skill, This bout is no
mere lovefest, but approaches closer
to the real thing than any similar
scene ever photographed. Real blown
aits exchanged between the fighters,
and the action is beyond the ability of
any suggestions from the director, as
the men enjoy the sport and go at it
as if it were in earnest.
Not only does Mr. Russell shine as
a boxer, but is equally proficient ru
baseball, football and rowing. While
at college he was a noted all round
athlete and established several rec
ords which still stand.

.Willard Mack 'in Island Drama.
Willard Mack, who is well known
for his acting and authorship of
"Kick lln." and. "So Much For So
Much," will gain new laurels when
ho appears in "Aloha Oe," the Tri
angle production at the Arcade Wed
nesday and Thursday. It is a spec
tacular lnco supervised drama of love

and adventure, the main acting being
in th south sea islands.
. The production will serve to intro
1 duce Mack as a screen artist. Though
,a comedian by training and experience
an the stage, Mack is a virile
d.amatic actor, and for that reason
in their collaboration J. G. Hawks
and Thomas H. Ince made the rola
assigned to him one of intensity. It
is the part of a young attorney who
itlbroupn the use of intoxicants finds
courage and rorceruiness enougn to
win an important criminal case..- The
J story of his subsequent physical de
cline , and ultimate redemption at
fords Mack unusual opportunities.
Enid Markey, who scored so heav
ily in the support of Dustin Farnum
in "The Iron Strain," is happily cast
opposite Mack. Miss Markey has the
difficult role of Kalaniweo, daughter
of the chieftain of th tiibe in a
tropical island, yet she interpreted it,
it is declared with even greater skill
than she did that of Octavia Van Ness
;in the Farnum story.
Other important members of the
cast are Margaret Thompson, Frank
Borzage, J. Frank Burke and J. Bar
ney Sherry.
Raymond Hitchcock in "Village
Scandal."
Good old rollicking hufnor, the kind
that is infectious, will appear in the
'new Triangle-Keystone, "The Village
iScnndali" at the Arcade theater
(Wednesday and Thursday. Raymond
' Hitchcock and Roscoe' Arbuckle are
each of them funny, and each separ
ately would keep an audience .highly
entertained, but plavinir together in
tints production they carry everything
befoie them.
