SMALL ROADS SEEK
BETTER FflAlL RATE
Wine Independent Lines in Ore
gon Allied With Western
Association in Struggle.
CHAMBER AID IS ENLISTED
Winfield Scott, Special Kepresenta
tive of Organization, Is In Port
land Urging Indorsement of
the Plielan Measure.
T'ine of the small independent rail
roads of Oregon have joined with the
Western Association of Short Line
Jtailroads in an effort to obtain better
Iay and better conditions for the carry
ing of mail. Winfield Scott, of San
Francisco, special representative of the
association, arrived in Portland yes
terday, and today will meet with the
Chamber of Commerce representatives
to enlist aid in carrying out the pur
Iose of the organization in solving a
situation which has become acute with
the rapid growth of parcel post mail
The Oregon roads concerned in this
movement are the Central, of Union;
the Columbia & Nehalem River; the
Oreat Southern, of The Dalles; the In
dependence & Monmouth, of Independ
ence; the Mount Hood, of Hood River;
the Oregon. Pacific & Eastern, of Cot
tage Grove; the Portland & Southwest
ern, of Portland; the Sumpter Valley,
rl BaKer, and the Walla Walla valley,
which has its headquarters in Portland.
These roads are asking that the entire
ontrol of rates for carrying the mail
te placed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and that the mail be
weighed annually as a basis of pay
ment. Proposed Bill in Senate.
The plans, which the roads expect
to put through at the present-session
of Congress, are embraced in a bill
drawn by Senator Fhelan, of Califor
nia. This measure is to come before
the Senate committee on postofflce and
postroads today in Washington.
Mr. Scott is completing . a seven
weeks' trip through the 11 states of
the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast
section. State utility commissions, pub
lic bodies such as chambers of com
merce and commercial clubs and the
61 members of the Western Association
have been visited to stir up support for
this bill.
"Our troubles became acute with the
recent tremendous expansion of the
parcel post," said Mr. Scott yesterday.
"'We are being paid by a. weighing that
was made in the months of February.
March and April, 1914. Since then the
Postmaster - General increased the
weight of the parcel post package t
the second zone to 50 pounds. The re-
ult is that the railroads are carrying
everything that will go into a 50-pound
package, particularly where the routes
go on stage lines in conjunction with
the rail haul. We are carrying grain,
flour, all sorts of groceries, ore even
firebrick. Kor all of the increase since
the last weighing not an additional
cent is paid.
Injustice la Asserted.
"The Western Association is not op
posing the parcel post, and has no in
tention of doing so. The parcel post
lias come to stay. But as we are carry
ing from three to 20 times as much
mail- as we did at the time of the
weighing, we think it fair to be paid
for it. especially as it comes out of
freight and express revenue.
"The Phelan bill provides for annual
Instead of quadrennial weighing, and
we can get no relief under the exist
ing law until 191S.
"There has been so much controversy
over this question of carrying the mail
that we are asking to have the whole
subject placed under the jurisdiction of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
We are now regulated by the Inter
state Commission and the various state
commissions as to express and freight
rates and passenger fares. Granting
that regulation has come to stay, we
believe in regulation for the fourth im
portant branch of traffic the mail.
The Postoffice Department is fairly and
squarely in the field as a shipper. It is
as much a carrier as any express com
pany. If regulation is good for other
shippers and carriers it ought to he
equally good for the Postoffice Depart
ment. The Phelan bill provides for
this and for other points of disagree
ment between the Postoffice Depart
nient and the carriers."
The Public Service Commission of
Oregon has already telegraphed to
Senators Chamberlain and Lane in the
interest of the small railroads.

Oregon Guardsmen Alert to
Service Possibilities.
EXTRA WORK IS VOLUNTARY
Armory and Streets in Vicinity Pre
sent Animated Scene Turnout
Is Large, Two Companies
Being Well Represented.
With the Mexican situation looking
up. great stimulus has been given the
Oregon National Guard, as evidenced,
yesterday by the voluntary trunout of
about 100 guardsmen for drill and prac
tice. The men and officers spent a
large part of the day mastering the
intricacies of gun drills, bayonet drills
and maneuvering.
Sunday drilling at the Armory is
not an ordinary occurrence, the drill
ing being a matter for weekday nights.
But with a possibility of active serv
ice looking the National Guard of the
country in the face, the men are eager
to participate Jn extra drill.
Practically all of Company H under
Captain Leo Pironi, and Company B
under Captain W. F Daugherty, re
ported for drill. Company B was on
hand at 9 A. M., and in addition to
maneuvering exercises and strenuous
gun drill put in several hours at bay
onet drili. Company H reported later
in the day and spent a like amount of
time at the same work. A. large part
of the drilling was on the streets near
the Armory.
Many recruits were out to drill with
the older men. Men who have been in
the service less than two weeks went
through the work with vim. They
were organized in squads and drilled
for a while, and then worked out with
the companies.
The Armory presented a decidedly
lively scene. This is attributed en
tirely to the present war situation in
Europe, and particularly in Mexico.
There was nothing to require the men
to report for drill yesterday, the work
being strictly voluntary on their part.
The companies were represented prac
tically as strongly as they are on their
ordinary drill nights.
Company H turned out for drill prin
cipally to get in shape to protect its
first honors won in past encampments
and at the Federal inspection last year.
The comoany has a large number of
recruits, and the desire of the officers
and men is to get tnem in snape 10

as a whole.

That birds have a well-developed
sense of direction, observation and

Saturday night by A. C. Shelton.

Oregon, who delivered a lecture on
"Migrations'' before the Audubon So
ciety at the Young Men's Christian As

of many of the migratory birds, deal

woman has been booked to appear
along the Northwestern branch of the
circuit. ,
She will make her debut at Calgary,
March 27. and fill a week's engage

STRAND DEBUT WINS
'Photoville," at New Theater,
Has Successful Start.
VAUDEVILLE ACTS TAKE
Combination Bill of Movies and
Variety Scores Well Headline
Number Sends Crowds Away
Bewildered by Mystery.
With a splendid blend of vaudeville
and motion pictures, a programme
dominated by laughter, the Strand,
Portland's new home oi amusement,
opened yesterday. The inauguration
of "Photoville" was as successful as
the most optimistic could have asked
for, each show playing to capacity-plus.
With the opening of The Strand,
Portland now has "Little Orpheum"
vaudeville, as well as "major league"
motion pictures. "Vaudeville acts are
furnished by the Western Vaudeville
Managers' Association circuit, while
Blue Bird and Red Feather motion
picture features will be screened. If
opening offerings may be taken as a
criterion the combination should prove
palatable to the public and lucrative
to the management.
"Mystery Girl" Is Headliner.
Ethel May, "The Mystery Girl," is
the vaudeville headliner on the bill.
Miss May answers questions, from be
hind a white silk band. Some of the
answers must be embarrassing to
questioners, for many of them involve
matrimony, and the "mystery girl."
who is a rapid-fire talker, minces
words with no one. When they leave
the theater querying: "I wonder how
she does it?" the object of such con
jecture is a real headliner.
Hayden and Goodwin, comedy sing
ers, and the Five Linnets, "classy min
strels," specialize in comedy, which is
good for any programme. The H.-G.
combination scores heaviest with a
baseball song which ends in near-violence,
but that doesn't mean that their
other "stuff" is not good. The Linnets,
girls, with men in blackface dance,
sing, whistle, indulge in consderable
minstrel repartee, recite, and generally
prove high-class entertainers. Yvonne,
a dancing accordionist, opens the vau
deville section of the bill.
Film Programme Fine.
Seven reels of pictures, including
Mary Fuller in a strong drama, "The
Strength of the Weak," a cartoon
comedy hit, "Sammy Johnson," and the
Animated Weekly, furnish an hour, or
perhaps a trifle more, of entertainment
on the two-hour schedule.
"The Strength of the Weak" is a
story of a man's unfaithfulness to a
trust reposed in him. Mary Fuller
is seen in the role of a young and in
nocent girl of the woods, who meets
John Adams while the latter is on a
hunting trip. The girl's father dies,
leaving the girl in the care of Adams,
who has given his name as Abbott.
The untutored girl, craving excitement
of the city, falls prey to the guardian.
While attending college the girl meets
Richard Adams, the eon, and falls in
love with him. She tells of the injury
sustained, but the young fellow de
clares his love is superior to all.
Father and son meet in a dramatic
climax. The father leaves the scene
in deep remorse, and the photoplay
ends with the couple in fond embrace
Miss Fuller is particularly pleasing
in the Blue Bird feature, while her
support, including. Edward Davis and
Harry Hilliard, is excellent. The pho
tography and scenic effects, particu
larly those of cafe life, are good.
PROFESSOR TUFTS GUEST
Exeter Academy Alumni Will En

PASTEUR TREATMENT GIVEN
Wire of Lake County Ttancher Ile
ceives Bite From Coyote.
The bite of a frenzied coyote, af
flicted with rabies, sent Mrs. D. E.
Boyd, of Fort Rock. Lake County, to
Portland for the Pasteur treatment.
She arrived in this city Saturday, and
went immediately to the office of the
State Health Board, where Dr. David
N. Roberg administered the treatment.
Mrs. Boyd is the wife of a rancher,
living on the Lake County plains. On
March 7, while she was passing through
the farm yard, the maddened coyote
suddenly appeared and attacked her.
She was bitten in the arm. The ani
mal sped away before it could be shot.
GREAT TEfiOe HEARD
Ciccolini Opens Week's En
gagement at Orpheum.
REPERTOIRE GIVES VARIETY
"The Red Fox Trot" by Agnes Scott
Is Enjoyable Satire on Modern
Dance Unrest; Other Num
bers Fill Excellent Bill.
BT LEONE CASS BAER.
When Orpheum patrons form the ac
quaintance of Ciccolini, famous Euro
pean grand opera star, leading tenor
of the Royal grand operas at London,
Paris, Milan, Brussels, Petrograd, War
saw and Odesso, that same public will
meet for the first time in vaudeville
one of the foremost leading tenors of
the day.
Ciccolini's advent yesterday at the
Orpheum was little less than sensa
tional. The two-a-day does not often
offer a tenor with a voice of such fine
fiber, such splendid telling quality
combined with so comprehensive an
art as that of Ciccolini. His voice is
a pure tenor of rare liquid quality; a
voice of abundant dramatic power, and
he uses it with what may be termed
absolute technical perfection. To this
he adds a magnetic presence and hand
some physical attributes. His smile is
a bit of sunshine, and he impresses
one as thoroughly loving to give gen
erously of his great voice. His pro
gramme varies widely in its selections,
even including English melodies. Gay
chansons, rollicking ballads, tremendous
big numbers from grand opera are of
fered by this splendidly inspirited
artist.
Carlo Edwards Directs. .
At the piano, or directing the or
chestra, is Carlo Edwards, the first
American conductor of grand opera in
Italy whose musicianly skill aids mate
rially in the artistic ensemble.
One of the cleverest sketches in a
dozen blue moons is "The Red-Fox
Trot." a pleasant satire on the modern
dance unrest. It was written by Agnes
Scott, who is a brilliant actress and
playwright. Her "Drifting" and "The
Wall Between" are remembered here.
In this newer offering a husband who
does not fox trot is suddenly brought
to a realization of the hold it has made
on his young wife. A young nincompoop
comes to teach the wife some new
steps in the red-fox-trot, and the hus
band looks on from behind portieres.
Then he steps in and effects a com
promise with his Mrs. Castleish wife.
and the curtain goes down on them
drifting about in an old-fashioned
waltz. The lines are keen, the senti
ment is pertinent and wholesome.
"Lady of Optimism" Billed.
Artistic in every essential is the
dainty act of Willa Holt Wakefield,
who surely deserves her title of "Lady
of Optimism."
Benny and Woods are a couple of
bright chaps who offer a delightful
musical act.
Little Ray Dooley, about as big as
the traditional minute, ably helped
along by Gordon Dooley and Elmer
Graham, has a comedy offering.
Opening the bill is a dainty protean
novelty offered by a toe dancer and a
soprano vocalist. One is Clara Stevens
and the other is Adelaide Falk.
Closing the bill is jolly Johnnie Jones
in an original wire act. He performs
Borne amazingly sensational dips and
somersaults on the wire.
LYRIC BILL FULL OF FUN
VICISSITUDES OF NIGHT OLS
INSPIRE CLEVER COMEDY. '
Unusual Dancing? and Numerous Sons
Hits Are Among Features of
Good Programme Offered.
The way of the night owl leads to
prison. At least that is the way it
worked out in the Dillon & King music
al comedy, "The Night Owls," which
opened at the Lyric yesterday. Mike
Dooley and Ike Lischinski. piayed
by Ben T. Dillon and Will King, get
into the police net, as does also Mike's
wife, impersonated by Ruby Lang.
Mike tries to keep his wife from learn
ing that he is serving a sentence in
prison by telling her that he lias gone
to Mexico.
The production is full of live com
edy, and there are a number of good
musical numbers, including some clever
dancing by the girls. Mike and Ike,
as usual, keep up a steady round of
clever hits which make them popular
with the audience.
Among the popular song numbers is
"Memories." sung by Frank Harring
ton, probably the most popular soloist
of the company, assisted by the Colum
bia Quartet and chorus. Mexican songs
by the Columbia Quartet are also par
ticularly good. .
Other song numbers which are well
received are "Simple Melody," by Dolly
Bunch, assisted by the quartet and
chorus: "Carissima." by Ruby Lang,
and "Chinese Blues," sung by Jack
Wise, the new member of the company.
The production opens with some
clever dance formations and good song
numbers, among which are My Little
Lasso" and "The Bronco Busters'
Ball."

Home Missionary Tells How She

to try Vinol and the result is I am free
from those troubles and I feel well
and strong and able to go to work
again." Mrs. Hattie Johnson, Towanda.
Pa,
The reason Vinol was so successful
in building up Mrs. Johnson's healtn is
because it is a contitutional remedy
which contains peptonate of iron to en
rich and revitalize the blood, the nour
ishing properties of beef peptone and
the healing medicinal extractives of
fresh, healthy cods' livers, all combined
in a delicious native tonic wine, with
out oil.
We wish every person in Portland
who is suffering from a weakened, run
down, devitalized condition, would try
our Vinol on our guarantee to return
their money if it fails to benefit them.
