Local em ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad system will be paid twice a month hereafter instead of monthly as has been the custom ever since the rail road, business began. This Is due to the fact that Ohio, Indiana and sev eral other states through which the Pennsylvania operates have passed laws requiring bi-monthly payments as a concession to the men, who contended that cash In hand twice a month would help reduce the high cost of living. The Pennsylvania officials then de cided to adopt the system on all their lines and to make it Include their outside agents as well.

"The Head Hunters," at the People's Theater yesterday, mixed love and war and told of the efforts ' made by the United States to stamp out of the Philippine Islands a tribe of savages whose barbarities for years have shocked civilization. The picture, in two reels, is clever and most unusual. It shows that the soldier In that dis tant land has a difficult and danger ous Job. Moreover, it proves that -the people there are not yet ready for self government. An enjoyable part of the programme was a short reel showing a brave motorist fording the rapids of the Snake River, taken especially by the People's exclusive camera man. Another interesting number was "Hard to Please," consisting entirely of trick films. "Teaching Chinese Children" was pretty and novel, and "A Modern Witness" showed a new way of utiliz ing the dictagraph: The singing and music were excellent. The arcade Theater presented five subjects on its bill, every one of which was a real gem. "Death's Short Cut," showing Tom Law going over the falls of the Kennebec River the first man who ever took the chance and lived to tell the tale Is a thriller. "Proof of the Man" is a splendid drama, and "True Hearts," is a romance of merit. The Star Theater repeated a former success "Redemption" in three reels. Yesterday the theater was crowded. GROWDSFLOGKJO OAKS MANAGER CORD RAY OPENS FREE VATTDEVILXJE. Fearless Greggs Make Final Appear ance in Portland and Leave at Midnight for North. A large Summer crowd gathered at the Oaks Amusement Park yesterday. Even the occasional showers failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the audience around the bandstand, where every seat was occupied, and between 2000 aid 3000 persons were standing. The day saw the 'inauguration of the free vaudeville introduced by Manager Cordray. At the same time the Fearless Greggs made their final appearance in Portland, leaving at midnight -with their auto paraphernalia over- the Northern Pacific. Undoubtedly the hit of the vaudeville bill was made by the Miss Cleora Miller Trip, in which Miss Cleora, a 17-year-old girl, more than captured her share of the honors. - The Miller Trio sing a little, dance a little and play a, lot and in their playing they utilize a score of Jnstru merits from drums to slide trombones. Incidentally, Miss Miller possesses a robust lyric-soprano voice, and her high notes could be heard distinctly in every one of the 30 acres around the Oaks. Lee Zimmerman, a comedy Imitator, who brought a farmyard to the Oaks by use of his vocal powers, was ac corded another fine reception, and Billle and Ada White, comedy dancers and talkers, made yet a third consecu tive hit. The Hawallans, with their Kanaka airs, proved popular and Ruzzi's Royal Italian Rand, both in the numbers con ducted by G. Tlgao and tfiose by Angelo Vltale, the boy leader, was uniformly successful. Ostrich Farm in Films. "A Wild Ride," now showing at the Globe is the story, of an English fam ily engaged in ostrich farming at Johannesburg, South Africa. The fam ily having incurred the displeasure of a Zulu chief, is later besieged by Zulus. The Zulus drive off the horses, thus expecting the family to have no means of escape. During the fighting, how ever, Florence, without speaking to anyone, had early quietly escaped by a rear window and made her way to the ostrich corral. There she mounted her favorite bird, Sandy, grasping the one chance to save those nearest and dear est to her. She makes a wild ride over the desert to the military post commanded by Lieutenant Borden Hastily summoning a force of troopers including an elephant equipped with s gatling gun, they ride back to the aid of the imprisoned family. The rescue Is effected Just in the nick of time. "The Moulding," a drama by Lab Balrd and produced by the Vitagraph actors, is a story of real life. A man marries a sweet country maid and ex pects her to be endowed with all the graces of society. She runs away from him, thinking he is displeased with her and he is eager to win her back and keeD her as she Is. Ruth Roland and John Brennan are seen in a funny sketch. Some inter esting views of New York also are on thi programme. Miss Lewis is heard Capacity bouses attended yesterday. Same bill today and Tuesday. sided as host at the first annual picnic of that organization. It was a day of fun. The cars left Portland early in the morning and the crowd arrlvea at the park long before noon. Good-natured sport and pleasure reigned supreme from the time the first-car arrived until the last one left late in the evening. A varied pro gramme of sport and music was on tap. This included all the regulation numbers -of the well conducted picnic. ranging from the fat men's race to the baby walk. A notable departure from the usual custom was the inaugura tion of a sewing contest for firemen only. . This was full of contestants and every man found that both "his hands were full of thumbs. It was a weird exhibition. It proved extremely amusing for the women who looked on with critical and sympathetic gaze. Wives coached their husbands in their awkward efforts and laughed heartily at their blunders. The baseball championship of Port land's suburban Fire Departments was decided with Mllwaukle the proud win ner. Four teams had been picked one each from Milwaukie, Portsmouth, St. Johns and Gresham. Volunteer fire men in these respective communities alone were eligible to membership. They paired off, Milwaukie against Portsmouth and St. Johns against Gresham. St. Johns and Milwaukie won the first set and these two then played the "rubber." It was a hard-rought - game and ended with a score of 2 to 1 in favor of the Milwaukie lads. All firemen who could be spared from active duty were out yesterday. Chief Dowell was there early and remained late. Other officers of the department and their families likewise attended. Battalion Chief Stevens, in his capacity as manager of the band, was In charge FLORAL TRIBUTES MANY Funeral Services Held for Lute Julian M. BrowncII. Funeral services for Julian M.
