Interstate Commerce Commission's
Conclusion Tliat Steamships Pass
by Astoria on Way to Pugct
Sound Also la Disputed. ,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. March 19. The O.-YV. R. & N..
North Bank and other railroads that
were defendants in the Astoria rate
case, will file with the Interstate Com
merce Commission tomorrow, through
Attorneys Charles A. Hart and L. T.
."Wilcox, of Portland, a petitloin for
rehearing of the Astoria case, and ask
for a stay of the Commission's order.
They base their petition on three al
leged errors in the decision of the
Commission. First, they maintain that
the rates from the Inland Empire to
Seattle and Tacoma are not terminal
rates, as held, but distance rates; mat
the average distance from competitive
territory in the Inland Empire to Se
attle is not 45, but 77. miles less than
the distance to Astoria, and that there
is a dissimilarity in transportation
and competitive conditions which war
rants higher rates to Astoria than to
Puget Sound.
Rates Fixed by State.
The rates are those to and from com
petitive territory east of Pendleton,
Pasco. Kennewick and Spokane. The
contention is made that Portland
rates are not generally the basis for
the Seattle and Tacoma rates.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion fixed the distributive class rate
from Portland to' Spokane at S1.10. The
Public Service Commission of Wash
ington about the same time fixed the
Tate from Seattle to Spokane at tf
cents, whereupon the carriers reduced
the Portland rate to the latter figure.
The Seattle-Spokane rate was based
on the Great Northern mileage, the
shortest, at that time, between the two
cities. The Milwaukee road has now
Tcduced the distance between Spokane
and Seattle by 30 miles, and a still
further reduction of rates is expected.
It is shown that the rates on grain
from competitive territory to Seattle
and Tacoma were made not to meet
rates previously fixed to Portland but
as the result of conditions local to the
state of Washington. It is concluded
tthe carriers established! distance rates
to Seattle and Tacoma under orders
of the Washington Public Service Com
mission, without regard to the rates
to Portland, and the Portland rates,
instead of constituting the basis for
the Puget Sound rates, have been made
as the result of Washington rates to
Seattle and Tacoma.
I'ndne Discrimination Denied.
The petition then says: "If In point
of fact the northern carriers nave not
extended Portland rates to Seattle and
Tacoma "because of competition of
Portland as a part and terminal.' bur
have made the Seattle and Tacoma
Tates in compliance with the command
of the Washington Commission and
without regard to Portland's rates,
then they have not done what the de
cision charges against them and the
basis for the conclusion that the Se
attle and Tacoma rates have caused
an undue discrimination against As
toria completely falls."
The railroads also dispute the con
clusions of the Commission relative
to steamships passing, by Astoria and
soing to Puget Sound because the
Sound has enjoyed lower rates than
Astoria. They point out that Portland
has always enjoyed a large grain ex
port business and say the record con
tains nothing upon which can be based
the conclusion that Astoria and the
Columbia River have failed to get
commerce which, because of the rate
adjustment, has gone to Puget Sound.
They further show that the Sound
cities are served by four transconti
nental roads. while Astoria is reached
by only one and by a second through
water connection with Portland.

TIRED ALL THE TIME
It is good to feel tired sometimes, when
you have exercised sufficiently to cause m
healthful feeling of fatigue.
But, you should be refreshed by rest.
A tired feeling that does not disappear
even after a night's sleep is abnormal.
It means that you are anemic or debili
tated, that rou need a tonic to build you
up and fortify your system against such
a condition. If you do not you are in
viting disease because thin blood means
that the body's defense against the in
roads of disease is lowered.
Thin blood is largely the sufferer's own
fault. It results from neglect, because
the blood can be built up. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills supply the -elements that the
blood needs to make it rich and red and
to enable it to carry more oxygen. Build

Is Mary
XT Pickford at her best. Some one
has described this seven-reel produc
tion, the longest In which Miss Pickford
has ever appeared, and the first since
she became a producing partner in the
motion picture world, as one of the
Pickford "six best sellers." but for ar
tistry, atmosphere and Pickford. charm
it is difficult to imagine a feature
which overshadows "Poor Little Fep
pina." The Pickford lure is stronger than
ever, which is fitting in view of recent
contract signing, which assures her an
income of approximately S500.000 for
1916, and yesterday The Peoples Thea
ter played to capacity houses.
In "Poor Little Peppina" Miss Pick
ford is seen in one of her popular wait
characterizations. As a demure daugh
ter of sunny Italy, then as a transatlan
tic stowaway, garbed in a suit of her
brother's clothes; later as a bartender
in a Is'ew York slum dive, then as a
messenger boy, and finally in the garb
of a daughter of the "upper ten," "Lit
tle Mary" is all that is attractive and
appealing. One significant feature of
the production is the presence of a
number of Italian actors in support of
Miss Pickford. their presence infusing
reality seldom fully acquired on the
screen.
The story deals with the kidnaping of
a three-year-old American girl by a
vengeful Italian Mafiaist. The girl
grows up, thinking herself an Italian.

Pickford.
In "The Catspaw" and "The Strange
Case of Mary Page." the Pickford Thea
ter offers on its early-week programme
four of the leading artists of filmdom
in vehicles of unusual merit. Marc
MacDermott and Miriam Nesbitt are co
stars in "The Catspaw," a gripping
drama of a master crook, while Henry
Walthall and Edna Mayo depict the
leading roles in "The Strange Case of
Mary Page," a mystery serial which is
lavish in sensations.
"The Catspaw," a Kleine-Edison of
fering, is a five-reel feature of superior
excellence. The machinations of a mas
ter crook, with MacDermott in a dual
role, afford opportunity for thrills sra-
lore and the display of some clever
double-exposure photography. The
crook, fct. John, in order to protect him
self from posslbla exposure, hires a
double, a needy actor, who resembles
him so strongly that no one suspects
the Impostor. Thus, while St. John is
burglarizing the prominent homes of
the community the double, or catspaw,
essays the society role, and falls In love
with a charming girl. Miriam Nesbitt,
who plays the part of the crook's ac
complice, is Ignorant of the doubling,
becomes jealous, and Informs the police
of a scheduled theft. The double is ar
rested and St. John forestalls his
charges by assuming the double's name
and making a courtroom charge that
he has been the dupe. However he is
finally brought to Justice for his mis
deeds.
In the second Installment of "The
Strange Case of Mary Page" a graphic
courtroom scene is enacted. Walthall,
as Langdon, attorney and lover of Mary
rage ttxina juayoj, seeks to clear her
of a charge of murder. In the closing
scene, when Mary is seized with a
hypnotic attack similar to that in
wnich she was found after the murder.
the way is paved for further and more
sensational complications.

Billie Burke, the stage idol, con
tinues to charm the public at the Co
lumbia Theater. After one overwhelm
ingly big week. In which all house
records for attendance fell many de
grees, the outpouring of the fans yes
terday indicates that many have had
no opportunity to witness the personality-plus
star in "Peggy," the won
derful Scotch story of Billie Burke
pranks.
"Peggy," who is Billie Burke, Is an
American girl of Scotch extraction, who
is forced to leave her life of pleasure
in America to go to Scotland at the
behest of her uncle and guardian, a
stern old Highlander. The harum
scarum nelce shocks uncle, relatives
and townspeople by her pranks, from
her arrival on Sunday in an automobile
of chicken-killing propensities, to her
unconventionallty In donning Various
masculine garbs. " In the eyes of her
guardian Peggy's antics become worse,
and the girl is ready to leave the
Highlands for America when the young
minister wins her heart. It is difli
cult to imagine the merry Peggy as
the ministering wife of a stern and
uncompromising young preacher, but
her love for him Is above all sues
thought of future.
The atmosphere of "Peggy" is espe
clally convincing. Producer Ince had
a Scotch village constructed at Ince
ville. the church, cottages, inn, tap
room, etc., being exact counterparts of
those which may be seen in almost any
hamlet visited on a side trip from
Glasgow. The characters are at home
in their environment.
William H. Thompson, as Peggy's
stern uncle, is Indeed a dour old High
lander. The "meenister," William Des
mond, looks down from his pulpit upon
as braw a congregation of Scots as
could be imagined. Then there are
the lawyer, the weaver, the innkeeper,
the village drunkard and his wife, all
the folk who take part in the simple
little story each as true a Scot as art
can produce.
Majestic.
William Farnum and Charlie Chaplin
are the Majestic headllners this week,
the $100,000 William Fox star appear
ing in a strong plcturization of Hall
Calne's "The Bondman," while Chaplin,
the 670,000 Mutual comedian, is
shown, minus mustache and derby, but
wearing the broadest of grins, affix
ing his signature to the contract which
establishes a new mark in amusement
salaries.
"The Bondman," a powerful novel, is
Just as powerful a screen production.
In its dramatic and psychological ef
fect it is a distinctly satisfying pho
toplay, the dominating personality of
Farnum insuring climaxes of compell
ing intensity.
Farnum plays a dual role, that of
father and son. At fifst he is shown
as a profligate Icelanaer. who is the
father to two half-brothers, then as
Jason, the son born in Iceland, whose
life is consecrated to revenge. He
journeys forth, seeking the life of his
half-brother, Sunlocks, but uncon
sciously rescues him from a sulphur
mine, in which Sunlocks loses his eye
sight, and later, through love of his
half-brother's sweetheart, sacrifices
his love for the man he had sworn to
kill. Sunlocks is confined to an is
land awaiting Judicial action, and Jason
takes his place. Word comes to shoot
the prisoner, so Jason, "the biggest
heart for good or ill that ever beat in
the breast of man," is shot.
The Chaplin film shows President
Freuler, of the Mutual Film Corpora
tion; Syd Chaplin, Charlie's brother,
and the comedy king himself, in their
"get-together meeting," which resulted
in the signing of a contract for J670,

Screen Gossip.
The house in which Mary Pickford
was born has been traced down and
photographed for publication. This is
an honor which comes ordinarily only
to the most famous, and then usually
it is only after they are dead. The
house In which Mary was born 2 years
ago is on University avenue, Toronto.
Another house, in which she lived
with her mother and sister for a while
when a little girl is more interesting.
It's a. single story frame house with a
door, two windows and a broken picket
fence in front. It looks about large
enough to contain two rooms, with
maybe a woodshed in back, where it
doesn't show in the picture. This house
is located at 81 Walton street, Toronto.
Edwin Carewe, who has been direct
ing Mabel Taliaferro in the Metro fea
ture "Her Great Price," did it with one
foot. The other was laid up with
"static" rheumatism. It is reported
that he was especially grouchy while
directing the lively comedy scenes.
Henry King, of Balboa, carries a dic
tionary around with him, declaring that
he finds it necessary to-revise his pro
nunciation for the silent drama.
Aspiring scenario writers will be
given an opportunity by the Lubin
Company to display their genius for
selection of crucial scenes in the pro
ductions of Rex Beach's stories, the
photo-play rights for which have bee
acquired by the Philadelphia company.
On the desk at the Lubin Company
at present are "The Barrier," "The Sil
ver Horde and The Iron Trail." These
are to be big photo-play features. In
fact, the Lubin Company is going to try
to make each one of them a record
breaker in point of the spectacular.
Consequently, despite the manifold
facilities of the company, only one pro
duction will be attempted at a time.
The public is invited to suggest
which novel should be chosen for first
production, and why. In the feature
photo-play one of the first requisites
is playing up to the big scene. Again
lovers of the film drama are requested
to send In their versions of what the
big scene is in the novel they have se
lected for filming, and how they would
go about playing up to It.
Views should be sent to the Lubin
Manufacturing Company In Philadel
phia, where they will be welcomed and
carefully reviewed.
The Mutual Film Corporation has Just

wrecked a birdhouse perched on a limb
of the tree. The house was wired to
the trunk of the tree with baling wire.
The lightning melted the wires and
some of the nails which held the house
together. The nest fell to the ground.
The tree was not damaged.
The lightning put several telephones

Trolley Poles Fall.
A dispatch was received at the local
offices ofthe Oregon Electric Company
saying that train service this side of
Salem was interrupted temporarily by
the falling of trolley poles in the high
wind. Service was resumed late in the
evening. "Eight poles went down at
Fargo, north of Salem. The high ten

Light & Power Company were out of

a lamp chimney several feet through
the J. Brockman home, and placed it

down, pinning a frightened and fleeing

stones and spades in all directions. A
barn door "waved like a flag in the
evening dusk and flopped to the ground.
The hay in one of the barns of the
Brockman place bundled itself together
with the strands of the wind and flew
out of the barn window. A work horse
on the Brockman place was munching
hay when the wind hit, and in a flash
It was left with nothing. The wind
had taken the barn and lifted it high
over its head. The horse was left
standing in the open unscathed, but
bereft of every vestage of manger, stall
and barn.
The storm king then wheeled, and
darting back whence it came, visited
the Charle3 Kramer place and took
away a part of the house. Through
the house it rummaged, jerking to bits
the lace curtains and rolling up the
shades.
Fruit Trees Destroyed.
The home of J. W. Roots, near
Clackamas Station, was visited and the
roof went away with the wind. The
Roots home is a half mile west of
Clackamas Station. The barn lost a
corner In the mlxup and 25 highly
prized fruit trees were leveled to the
ground. About 100 yards of fence in
the same vicinity was carried away
also.
Automobiles running between Clacka
mas and Milwaukle were forced to cut
their way through trees that had been
blown across the roadway. Mr. Haber-
lack, a storekeeper at Clackamas, wit
nessed the antics of the storm and last
night was astounded to learn that it
had been so playful without serious re
sults to life of men and livestock there.
One barn was blown fully 100 yards
away, he said.
W. A. Bisbee, of Portland, was com
ing to Portland by auto when the wind
struck at Clackamas. About a mile
this side of Clackamas he was halted
by the fringe of fir-tree tops that deco
rated the road. He had seen the low
hanging, ominous cloud and bad just
remarked of it to Mrs. Bisbee when the
storm broke.
Storm Breaks Suddenly.
"We saw the cemetery stripped of
the tool shanty as it scattered tools
all about," said Mr. Bisbee. "We turned
back then and saw five or six persons
a short distance away standing in the
midst of wreckage that came in a flash
as the storm passed over. A horse was
left standing when the barn of the
Brockman place was lifted out of .place
and shunted 100 yards or more. The
path of the wind led through the house,
and we saw a lamp chimney lying on
the floor, it having been lifted from a
lamp on the table and gently placed on
the floor of another room. The wind
whipped the shade up the roller and
folded up what was left of the lace
curtain. I found a chicken squawking,
one foot pinned beneath a shack that
had been blown several yards away
from its original place. The clothes in
the closet of one room in the Brock
man house were fairly lifted off the
hooks and placed in a neat pile not
far away. A bundle of hay went sail
ing through a barn window, but the
barn was untouched at the time.
"Later we noticed a sliding barn
door torn from its hinges and laid out
on the ground across the doorway.
We are told the barn door waved like
a flag for a second before it was torn
from the hinges. It was a door which
slid open on top rollers."
The fatality in the Marks family was
the only one at Happy Hollow or else
where, although for miles trees and
posts were broken. Mr. Marks was a
rancher who had come to the district
only a few years ago. He leaves a
wife and several small children. His
home is in a wooded section of the
Hollow and he had cleared several
acres of his ten-acre plot, three and a
half miles southwest of Lents.
Screams Attract Neighbors.
The excitement reached a high stage
in the vicinity of the Marks home when
the screams of Mrs. Marks and the
children, after they had recovered con
sciousness from the shock, attracted
neighbors. The lowering clouds had
stricken all of them with fright. A
young boy was dispatched on horse
back to summon medical aid at Lents.
He galloped his horse until the animal
could hardly go, and he then dismount
ed and ran a half mile to Mr. Arm
strong's place at Lents. There the
doctors were summoned and started by
machine. The road was so strewn with
trees and poles that they had to walk
part of the way. Mr. Marks was dead
when they arrived and it was evident
he had been killed almost instantane

DURUM YIELD IS DOUBLED
Wheat Section. Produces 37,900,000
Bushels at $1.07 in 1915.
WASHINGTON, March 19. Produc
tion of durum wheat last season in
Minnesota and the Dakotas, where 95
per cent of the country's total crop was
grown at the time of the last census,
was about 37,900,000 bushels, compared
