Is a story of a plain soldier, who lores the colonel's daughter. Her father has higher ambitions and with a brother" officer they conspire to send the girl's sweetheart among hostile Indians. Hut the girl elopes with him and after passing through perilous adventures, the wronged man is able to save the father and the entire fort. The battles and siege are most spectacular. "The Evidence of the Film shows how a camera man accidentally caught a broker attempting to fasten a crime on an Innocent messenger boy, and "A Night of Terror" proved to be a serio comic affair. The "Three Kings of Harmony" sang well and were encored many times. The Arcade offered a clever and at tractive photo play programme and presented a novelty in Signor Michael DeSantes, a harpist of rare ability, and Roy Detrich, whose singing is a feat ure. The programme is of a historical and spectacular character, featuring "The Paymaster's Son," a Civil War story of the kind that holds the at- I tention and brings the tears. "The Mutiny -of Mr. Henpeck" was real comedy, offering suggestions to any poor mortals whose wives rule with rods of iron: A Balkan War picture and two edu cational films blended Into a Ine bill.

King, Demo cratic National committeeman for Ore gon, will not be appointed Secretary I of the Interior if President-elect Wil son heeds the advice of Western Demo- ception these Senators are bitterly op- I t 1 posed to Kins- This is not true of I NEW STEEL VESSEL WILL BE ADDED TO PACIFIC COAST FLEET. Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, al though the Oregon Senator is on record as favoring the appointment of Joseph N. Teal, of Portland, and Is for King only in the event Teal is eliminated from the nght. Tho reason for Senatorial opposition to King Is apparent. Soon after the leading Democrats of Oregon united in recommending the appointment of Mr. Teal, King, who was then in the East, announced his own candidacy for this office and declared that if he could not be appointed Secretary of the Interior ho would prevent the appoint ment of Teal,- using his office of Na tional committeeman to accomplish that end. Immediately after this declaration of purpose King went West and in California, Washington, Idaho and several other Western states per sonally solicited the support of Demo cratic leaders for his candidacy, some times entering into bargains with those leaders to clinch their support. Active Work Hurts Candidacy. This might have been well but for the fact that each of the states in vaded by King in his own behalf had one or more candidates for the Interior appointment and by dividing the Democracy In those states King im paired the chances of the respective candidates In those states. In doing this he evidently Injured his own chances as well, for President-elect Wilson has several times announced that no man who actively sought a place in his Cabinet would be appoint ed. If, therefore, he lives up to this threat or promise, as it may be viewed. King is 'eliminated, for he is by all odds the most active of all men who seek any place in the Wilson Cabinet. In fact, King is the only man among all the aspirants who has persisted openly In soliciting support for him self after Governor Wilson made the announcement referred to. Governor Wilson made another an nouncement which. If lived ud to. will make it impossible for him to appoint as secretary or the Interior any man from Washington, Idaho, California or any other states where some of the Democratic leaders are pledged to and working for King, for the Governor declared he would consider no candi date unless he had the solid backing or tne Democracy in his own state; in other words, that he would not appoint a man from a state that was pressing tne names or two or more candidates tor this position. Rule Disturbs Westerners. It Is this that is bothering the West ern Democratic Senators, for a strict adherence to this announcement would prevent the appointment of Governor Hawley, of Idaho, of J. D. Phelan or any other California Democrat, of Hugh Wallace or George Turner or any other Washington Democrat, and probably would prevent the appointment of men from several other states where King nas been Indorsed. That the Western Senators resent King's activity, especially outside of Oregon, has been demonstrated, and they nave not hesitated to advise the Incoming President of the opposition to King. While no threats are being made as to what would be done to King, If he should be appointed, and while King i undoubtedly would be continued if nominated by President Wilson, yet the fact that the Western Democratic ' i; i1 f .4 J' fqfita -')! ,V. f ' -8Ve -s. mnt. , - - V JOHN D.

Every farm h oppoioT of ku ?he "ri-t Senators of the West, save Senator Chamberlain of his own state. Mr. King, by reason of his work at Chicago headquarters in the late cam palgn. has been assuming that he will nave mucn to say about r ederal patron- age in Oregon and has been counting upon being the referee In regard to Idaho iitronage, because of the fac tional trouble among the Democrats of that state and the further fact that Idaho will have no Democratic Sena tors. He also has been figuring on acting as referee in Washington, which will have no Democratic Senators, In the event the party leaders In that state are unable to agree. Further Irritation Caused. This attitude of Mr. King has served also to Irritate the Western Democrats, who are inclined to regard King's gratuitous offer to control Federal patronage an over tne northwest as the height of presumption. By array lng himself with the anti-Hawley ele ment of the Idaho Democracy, Mr. King has aroused Senator Perky, the close friend of the Governor, and other and his alignment with Helfner of Se-I t nttlo ht hrnn.rht fnTth npntact ( : the other wing of the Washington Democracy. Ail in all. it would seem, as far as the situation can be analyzed, that King has not only destroyed what chance lie had of becoming Secretary of Interior, but has also damaged other candidates. course and It Is expected that at least 200 will take advantage of it.

"MTy trip up the coast in the Beaver was a delightful one and I cannot re frain from commenting on the cleanli ness of that vessel. In fact, I never saw any vessel, other than a warship, as clean and 1 could not help noticing that there was perfect harmony throughout the entire crew, from Cap tain Mason down." Commander Elllcott declined to say what is the basis of the investigation as to supplies furnished the Heather. Mr. Beck also declared he had no an nouncement to make at present as to this investigation. NEW SHIP TO PLY OS COAST San Francisco Firm Secures Big Steamer for Lumber Trade. The steamship John D.

IS COLUMBIA AXD SXAKE REPRE SENTATIVES MEET. Flan Proposed lor Purchase of Ex isting Line of Boats and Com mittee Will Perfect Project. PASCO, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.) At a well attended meeting or repre sentatives of the 'commercial bodies of the Columbia and Snake River basins, held Sunday, in the rooms of the Pasco Chamber of Commerce, definite action was taken upon the question of the fu ture operation of the open river steam boats. The meeting was confronted by the fact that there la a disposition on the part of the managers of the Open River Transportation Company, of Portland to withdraw Its fleet from further operation on account of lack of ' sup port necessary to maintain the service with Drofit. The discussions brought out tne ract that, with regular schedules guaran teed and satisfactory rates maintained, the general disposition of merchants in cities tributary to the river lines, would be liberally to patronize the boat service. Assurances were also received by the meeting, from responsiDIe steamboat 'men, that under encour aging conditions they would be willing to take over the Open River neet ana guarantee satisfactory service and rates. Thorough discussion of the sub ject took place and a general commit tee was authorized, representative 01 the various towns affected by the pro posed service, whose duty it shall be to take practical steps for such organi zation as may be necessary to co-oper ate with the steamboat men In estab lishing a satisfactory service. Definite organization was eniectea Dy the election of Dr. N. G. Blalock, of Walla Walla, chairman: Wallace R. Struble. of Lewiston, secretary, and Captain W. P.

The Northern Pacific on Friday had five rotarles. Four -of these have broken down and were taken to the Tacoma shops Saturday. The fifth rotary has its side wings broken and is almost helpless for bucking heavy drifts and slides. Another plow from Everett was rushed Into the hills today.
