"i quered South; the free and ignorant slaves creating a reign of terror among the whites the organization and enforcement of the Ku Klux Klan upon the blacks all entwined with love of Northerner for Southerner, and vice versa -of suffering, death, despair and heart-ache these are the principal features of D. W. Griffith's indescribable production, "lhe Birth of a Nation," a realization so swift. so mighty, so absorbing that it makes three hours whirl by like a few moments and sends the bewildered spectators stumbling out of the theatre, struggling for their bearings and gasping for very breath. "The Birth of a Nation" will never Bee a rival, for it has covered all the drama of the Nation and covered it too vivid ly for others to even approach it Every time it unfolds upon a screen, that time the life-drama of America is re-enacted. This justly termed "World Famous Spectacle" is the sur vival of the fittest, now in its fourth year, and will be shown twice at the Isis on Sunday, July 22, once at 2:30 p. m., adults 50 cents, children 25 cents; and again at 8 p. m adults 75 cents and children 50 cents.

OVER THE COUNTY Dallas "Never before in the history of Polk county has sue a large area of her farms been seeded to food producing crops as is the case this year," say J. E. Cooler, agricultural expert "A big harvest this fall seems assured." West Salem The Marion county court has received bids for the construction of the new bridge over the river here but they appear to be unsatisfactory The present cost of steel is the reason, and this has led to the proposal that a wooden structure be erected which would last seven or eight years at which time it is expected that the price of steel will be normal. It is not thought, that Polk county would agree to a wooden struc ture which only consented to steal after a game fight was made for concrete.

THE PORTLAND WAY The dispatches yesterday told of the purchase of the Browns ville Woolen Mills by Portland uarties and that they would be removed to Portland. Thus does the work of destroying the smaller towns from which Port land draws her support go brave ly on. The goose that lays the golden eggs for our metropolis is being slowly starved to death When she is finally gone, Port land will wake up to the fact that her policy is death to Oregon towns and will eventually be death to her. It is only by hav ing a prosperous country around her that Portland can grow. The urban population can only be prosperous with a proper pro portion of outside population from which to draw her support and to take her products. The mill will not amount to much as an addition to Portland, but its loss will be a serious blow to Browns ville. Salem Capital Journal.
