' "The cost of cleaning catch-basins
along streets is reduced about 300 per
cent by the use of a new kind of
catch-basin eductor. according to a re
port completed yesterday by the street
cleaning bureau, after an investiga
tion. Taking a fixed number of catch
basins, the report shows the cost of
cleaning by the old system was J40.
while the cost by use of the new ma
chine is $13.30.
Commissioner Daly will include in
his 1917 budget an item for the pur
chase of one or more of the machines.
These would replace men now engaged
in the work.
OREGON IS FEATURED
Northwestern JLine's Booklet Gives
Special Space to State.
"The Pacific Northwest" is the title
of an attractive 60-page booklet Just
issued by the passenger department of
the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.
The publication describes the scenery
and the resources of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, but most attention
is given to Oregon. It is well illustrat
ed with scenes . along the Columbia
River Highway, in Portland and in
some of the agricultural districts of
the Northwest. '
It is considered rare and unusual for
a railroad not even serving this terri
tory direct to give it such a wealth
of attention.

Columbia.
A QUAINT story of Ireland, with
picturesquely realistic atmos
phere, fairies and a happy end
ing love tale, serves to reintroduce Mae
Marsh to Columbia Theater patrons.
"The Marriage of Molly-O" is the name
of the drama, which deals with a little
Irish colleen with a four-cornered am
bition: Make herself a lady, buy a silk
dress for her mother, a ribbon for the
pig and a bell for the cow. The film
has a particular appeal to children, be
cause of the splendidly pictured fairy
story, which logically plays an Import
ant part in the life of an imaginative
Irish maid.
"Laundry Liz," the two-part Triangle
"koraedy," is undoubtedly the best film
that company has released under its
new programme policy of placing its
stars in short comedy features. The
two-reeler is a burlesque on motion
picture production, with many funny
situations and several thrillers, par
ticularly a dive from a cliff into the
ocean. Fay Tincher is the star, a cham
pion laundry worker, who deserts iron
and sweetheart for the flickers. She
wins fame as the star of "Escaped From
Hell, or the Fiend's Revenge," but
returns to her old environment after
a death-defying i experience before the
camera.
The Manhattan Trio. Manager My
rick's latest musical acquisition, is one
of the best specialties of the kind
seen in months. The young fellows
have good voices, their songs are pop
ular and they possess the ability to
"put over" their act in a manner which
commands numerous encores..
The story of "The Marriage of
Molly-O" presents Miss Marsh as a
little Irish peasant girl, very poor, with
a hard landlord who has a vicious
son. Sir Lawrence O'Dea (who is
Robert Harron) masquerades as a peas
ant, falls in love with the girl, saves
her from the landlord's son and through
marriage with Molly enables her am
bitions to be fulfilled.
Peoples.
For her first appearance as a Moros
co star, Vivian Martin is given a most
congenial role in "The Stronger Love,"
the current Paramount attraction at
the Peoples Theater. Litne, graceful
and prettily girlish, running barefoot
through the underbrush and scaling
perilous rocks with never a slip, she
is Just about -every thing one might ex
Pct from a child of the mountains.
he has many rivals, but few, if any,
superiors in the mountain-maid school
of actresses. It is difficult for the
average player to appear altogether
sweet with nothing more than a ging
ham frock for adornment, but Miss
Martin do2s, while her acting reveals a
natural vivacity, which is a chief re
quisite in the portrayal of a character
such as Nell Serviss, the girl of the
mountains.
Wonderful photographic effects are
a distinct feature of this drama of the
feudists and moonshiners, splendid
lighting effects and ingenious double
exposures being narticuarly effective.
The film is not without its thrills, for
the fall of a man over a precipice and
the assault of the mountaineers on a
cabin defended by Nell and Rolf are
satisfying.
A family feud is the basis for the
story of "The Stronger Love," with
the younger generation of the opposing
clans more concerned with affections
than past murders and revenge. Nell,
the daughter of one clan, meets a
stranger, becomes much interested In
him and finally discovers that he is
a member of the hated enemy-family.
I But Nell does not wed the chap, thus
' f ' f m cntin f the fumlllefl intn trt VinnHn
of friendship, as practically all of the
stories of this type call for. She de
clares her intention to marry him. but
that is to save his life and then she
turns to the ever-faithful Jim, for
whom her love is stronger.
"Bobby Bumps" Detective Story," a
Bray cartoon comedy, and "A Party
In Frogland," an Interesting study
film, complete the bill.
Pickford.
Helen Holmes, star of "Whispering
Smith" and other Mutual screen
dramas, is the Pickford Theater head
liner on its week-end bill, appearing
in "Judith of the Cumberlands," a pic
turization of the Alice McGowan story,
which does not suffer from its appear
ance in new guise. There is nothing
slow about the story so far as action
goes, with fight scenes galore, fistic
and pistol, to feature this stirring tale
of feuds which rage in the mountains
of the South..
There is an exceptional fight scene
when the jail is broken by a. mob, ef
fective night lighting being utilized.
Creed Bonbright is elected Justice of
the Peace and the same day Any and
Jeff are arrested for selling contraband
whisky. Judith, their cousin, fails to
get the boys released, but they escape
and flee to the mountains. Judith
gives a party and Bonbright and Blatch

Blatch is thrown over a cliff and Bon

Blatch, only slightly injured, hides
In a cave and decides to call on Judith
and propose to her. She lures him to

Then Bl&tch. seeking revenge, invites
Bonbright to a rendezvous and secrets
the members of his gang for an at

bright's horse from under him as he
approaches the hidden gang. At the
sound of the shot the men come from
their hiding places. Blatch steps out
on a ridge and is shot by his own ac
complices, leaving Judith and Bon
bright in peace and happiness.
Selig-Tribune news service, depicting
events of National and internatipnal
importance. Is another subject screened.
Sunset.
"The Moral Fabric," which opened a
three-day run at the Sunset Theater
yesterday, is one of the most powerful
photodramas ever presented to the Port
land public. It treats of the so-called
enlightened thought. the theory of
"free love," and the doctrine that des
tiny, which is really the desire of the
moment, is superior to man-made laws
and the destroyer of legal barriers.
Frank Mills, Edith Reeves and How
ard Hickman are splendidly convincing
in the leading roles. Mills and Miss
Reeves play the happy husband and
wife. Then the friend (Hickman), who
covets the wife, begins a campaign for
her affections and so works upon the
weak-minded woman with his talk of
higher life, destiny's decrees, etc., that
she leaves hubby. He secures a divorce
and forces the man to marry his ex
wife. Then, years later, the former husband
secures his revenge and at the same
time exposes the weakness of the false
doctrines. Employing the same tac
tics used by the friend of bygorre years,
he wins the woman from her present
husband. Then, when she Is willing to
fly with him, and the husband is con
fronted by the couple, a tremendous
punch is given the story when tue
woman is discarded by her new-found
lover.
"Dizzy Heights and Daring Hearts," a
Keystone riot, which ranks among the
be6t vehicles of Chester Conklin, is the
comedy feature of the bill, while the
Burton Holmes Travelogue Is an inter
esting educational subject.
Praise for Music.
PORTLAND, Aug. 16. (To the Edi
tor.) There are people who go to the
movies solely for the music. Or who at
least go to revel in the combination
of the two arts. To some, the musical
part Is as essential as the picture
Itself. I view the association in the
latter manner. It seems to me that
the culminating point has been reached
at the T & D Theater. The pleasure I
have derived from the playing of the
new organ compels me to tender a word
of praise to the organist. Mr. Malotte
The wide range of his repertoire can be
understood when he played the famous
violin solo. "Caprice Viennols," with its
difficult double harmonics. The solo, as
he played It. held me spellbound. His
manipulation of the various lnstru
ments for which Leoncavallo wrote the
prologue to "Pagliacci" was a piece of
masterly playing. Musical enthusiasts
In Portland need to congratulate them
selves upon the presence of that new
organ and the genius who presides at
the keyboard. MOSES BARITZ.

NORMAL BILL INDORSED
Professor Robert C. French leclare3
for Pendleton School Measure.
Strong indorsement of the initiative
measure looking to the establishment
of a State Normal School at Pendleton
has been publicly given by Professor
Robert C. French, of this city,
ex-president of the Normal School
located at Weston. Professor Frencn
was Tor a number of years at
the head of the Normal School
at Weston, and was still serving when
that school was abandoned. Probably
no man knows better than he the ur
gent need of a standard normal school
in an Eastern Oregon city, with public
schools sufficiently large to gjve the
normal students ample practice, train
ing. "No other section of Oregon is as
dependent on. its public schools for so
cial and cultuVal influences as Eastern
Oregon," he said, in discussing the
measure.
"Professionally trained teachers are,
therefore, even more necessary to the
welfare of Eastern Oregon countries
than to more Accessible sections of the
state.
"The previous history of the Normal
School in Eastern Oregon proves that
a large number of young people, to
whom other educational Institutions are
not easily accessible, are ready to avail
themselves of the privileges offered, by
a Normal School to prepare themselves
for community service in public school
work.
"An immediate establishment of such
a school at some central point such as
Pendleton would prove a great asset to
the state of Oregon."
