One is poor, but proud, and the other rich and haughty. Their battle for the love of a man furnishes the theme for the most interesting parts of the drama. "The Velvet Paw" is an unusual po litical story from the World studios, with House Peters and Gail Kane as co-stars. The activity of a woman lobbyist is shown, particularly in op position to a child-labor law. Scenes of the National Capitol, a reproduction of the chambers cf Congress and the appearance of many notable figures, in cluding President Wilson, lift the film from the ordinary class. Chapter 19, "Her Vow Fulfilled." of "Gloria's Romanoe," relieves all un certainty regarding the - duplicity of Richard Freneau, Gloria's murdered lover, as well as the identity of the murderer. Trask confesses that be did the killing and absolves Gloria's brother. David, of any complicity in the affair. AID MR. STRAHORfj W. D. Cheney Declares Impor-, tant Trade Problem De pends Upon Support. I always keep a supply at the studio and some at home- a mend in need. " GREAT WEALTH AT STAKE II ifiiiiiisBiiisiiii in N V -r-iv , . - , 'i (if-' r Xz-i'' - 1 f ,-4 , xf sTI1 - -If r v I I, , - ' y&r'ux hi A f : " Commencement of Operations at Klamath Falls Said to Be Prob able, With Result San Fran cisco Would Benefit. I believe that the railroad through Central Oregon, connecting the ter mlnals of the five railroad systems that approach but do not tap an arable area of millions ot acre will be built by Robert Strahorn, our greatest sur viving constructive railroad genius. I believe this because I believe in the people of Portland and the state and that they will give him the necessary" flninclal support." That Is th assertion of W. D. Cheney, an extensive property owner, of Bend, and a man who nts been one of the ablest'supporters of Mr. Stra horn's scheme since public announce ment was made that Mr. Strahorn would tap Central Oregon with a sys tem of railroads. Mr. Cheney believes that Mr. Stra horn will build the road in time, but he t declared yesterday that If the people of Portland would do half as well In proportion as the people of Klamath Falls he was sure construction would start within 30 days. He said that Portland should fully realize her geographical position and assure the construction of a road that would Increase her trade territory and opportunity a hundred-fold. He de clared that some attempt to give Mr. Etrahorn's scheme able financial sup port should be made as well as to get part of the Alaskan trade and that from the southeastern part of Wash ington. "The Lord created the geography of this coast," said Mr. Cheney emphatic ally, "and It Is impossible for Portland to take from ports Into which It Is drained that trade that rightly be long to other ports beside Portland. Portland may spend millions of dol lars In trying to secure that trade, but if geography must be overcome, she will get little of it. "Bend lies In the funnel of a trade territory of arable 'land that Is mar velous In extent That territory, ade quately served by railroads, will be as rich when cultivated as the trade Port land li'now seeking from Washington. If railroad construction starts at Bend the trade will flow In this direction and Portland will reap the benefit. "If construction starts at Klamath Falls the trade will naturally flow toward California and It will be prac tically Impossible to divert the chan nel once it has gained Impetus. As matters now stand,' Mr. Strahorn Is almost bound to start the construction at Klamath Falls, where the most money is available. "The people of Bend and the entire territory that the proposed road will tap have done perhaps 10 times as much as could be hoped for, and yet there is not enough money with which to start construction. "I think that Mr. Strahorn would be able to start construction if the first $123,000 were raised, payable in monthly Installments covering two years." Mr. Cheney has compiled statistics to show the public the immensity of the territory and to drive home the Importance of the project. He declares that It means more to Portland than anything since the construction of the transcontinental system 30 years ago. FOREST FIRES ARE OUT DAMAGE IX GRAYS HARBOR DIS TRICT INSIGNIFICANT. Large Force Kept at Work to Pre vent Spread, and Mills Have Narrow Escape. HOQUIAM, Wash., Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) After three days in which -fires in several of the logging camps of Grays Harbor County threatened equip ment and did cause some damage, the blazes now are under control and the loss has been comparatively small. The two worst flres were in the logged olT land near the town of Carlisle, and at the camp near Porter operated by the Lytic Logging Company of this city. The fire at Carlisle burned fiercely in the slashings and brush west of the town, and a big force of men from the Copalis Lumber Company's mill and logging camp was called out to save a number of small houses in the west part of the town. One house was scorched and the roof of one of the mill's dry kilns caught Are,' but the blaze was extinguished quickly. At the Lytle camp two donkey en gines were slightly damaged and some logging line was damaged. The fire burned over an area of about 1000 acres in the logged-ofC Jand. For two days the entire logging crew was fighting the fire. For a time the fire threatened the entire camp equipment. The camp will be shut down until the middle of the week for repairs. Several smaller flres have occurred in various parts of the county in the logging camps. One of the principal fires was one starting in the old Les ter company works east of Montesano. A strong east wind carried that lire to within a short distance of the outer edge of Montesano, but no damage was done.

Columbia Frank Keenan, "The -Thoroughbred"; Ford Sterling, "His Lying Heart." Majestic Ormi Hawley, "Where Love Leads." T & D "The Conflict." "The Velvet Paw," "Gloria's Romance." Pickford Louise Huff and John Bowers, "The Reward of Patience." Pickford. r HE REWARD OF PATIENCE," a title that may be interpreted two ways. Is the Pickford Theater photodramatic headliner on the bill opening yesterday. Happiness comes as a reward to Patience, a elm pie, demure little Quaker lass, but this happiness, through love, became hers only after a patient wait and the good graces of a complacent fate. Louise Huff, the girl who charmed so many by her characterization of the country lass in "The Old Homestead is the heroine ot this well-balanced picture of good tilings, with a com petent supporting uast headed by John .tsowers and Lottie Pickford. The atmosphere and scenery of a quaint old Pennsylvania Quaker vil lage is one of the distinct charms of the picture, while the beauty of the simple little lass is heightened by the nabby coldness of the money-spending worm against which it is drawn. It is a love story, opening in the Quaker village where Patience, loved and adored by all, centers her affection upon a visiting engineer. Robert Pen iieia. .tie is engaged to another, a selfish society girl, and Patience, upon the death of her father, finds a place In the Penfleld household as a social secretary. Patience pays more atten tion to the baby daughter than does the mother, who is engaged in a dan gerous companionship adventure with another man. Patience is discharged ana the climax comes with an elope ment, fatal to the guilty couple, for their yacht Is wrecked in a storm and both drowned. So Robert finally goes back to the Quaker town to claim Pa tience as his wife. "Hunting Whales In Japan" is an Interesting educational from the Powers travel cameras. Edgar Cauld well, a Portland tenor, furnishes a number of pleasing vocal selections as a musical feature of the programme. Columbia. . After witnessing "The Thorough bred," the Frank Keenan picture at the Columbia Theater, one yearns, temporarily at least, for the return of the good old days of horse racing, miscalled "the sport of kings." Keenan plays the role of "Majah" AlnBlee, a typical old Southerner, who believes that "a good race horse is a gift from Providence." The thoroughbred comes mighty near being the religion of the "Majah," for when the reformers in vade the Legislature with an anti racing bill, he expresses this belief: "I have too much faith in God to believe that he'll let them pass the bill." Keenan is one of the really big actors on the screen, and his appear ance in any vehicle guarantees artis try. This is true of "The Thorough bred." Not only is his acting convinc ing, but his support, including Mar garet Thompson, George Fisher and J. J. Dowling, is excellent. The at mosphere of the South and the race track is well preserved. The story is simple, presenting Major Alnslee as the victim of speculation who depends upon his racing mare to square him with the world. A preacher who falls in love with the Major's daughter Is a leader In the anti-racing movement, and when he discovers that his loved one's father Is on the verge of ruin, defrays the expense of a trip to an other track for the mare, and brings about the financial rehabilitation of the Ainslees. "His Lying Heart" is a Ford Sterling Keystone depicting the "wild oats" period in the life of a merchant. A manicurist brings sudden Joy and later gloom into his prosaic life. The comedy is funny, but not much funnier than the Pathe presentation, "Jump ing Analyzed." The camera snows human action at Just one-eighth regu lar speed, and the result Is remarkable and often very amusing. Tonight is style show night, with, as Manager Myrick puts it. "lovely mani kins displaying the modes." Peoples. "For the rich must struggle with dis content and the poor with envy" is thel sub-title comprehensively descriptive of "The House of the Golden Windows." a Lasky photodrama of unusual charm, which opened a screening yesterday aS( the Peoples Theater. Wonderful pho tography and lighting effects ,a de lightful pastoral atmosphere, and splen did acting by a cast headed by the favorites. Cleo Ridgely and Wallace Reid, make this play of fairy tale, dream and actuality a production of more than ordinary attractiveness. Not the least noteworthy of the fea tures of the flve-reeler Is an oll-gushar, pouring its black gold high Into the air and over the landscape. It's a real gusher, apparently, and the Lasky pub licity people are authority for the state ment that the well was "shot" for the benefit of the players. The film opens with a prologue of the fairy tale version of "The House of the Golden Windows," with little chil dren discovering, after a hard climb to a coveted spot, that the golden windows were caused by the sun's reflections, and that the house was a ramshackle and deserted old dwelling. Then the story proper is introduced Wallace Reid is Jim Wells, a poor rancher who spends his time guarding his flocks. Miss Ridcely is his wife Sue, and Billy Jacobs is their email son. Sue is discontented, envious and first hates her own existence and then the envied neighbors of wealth. Contentment comes to her through I vivid dream, caused by the sudden pos session of a pasture beneath which she thinks is oil. After many struggles a gusher is brought In, the Wells become millionaires, and the owners of the property formerly owned by the Pel' bodys. the envied neighbors. Discon tent and then tragedy stalks through the dream and Sue awakens with new and better viewpoint. Paramount Plctographs, the magazine of the screen, is another interesting subject. Sunset. Edna Goodrich, famed on the stage for her beauty, and further prominent for her position as one of the many wives of Nat Goodwin, is co-star with "Fatty" Arbuckle on the Sunset Thea ter's picture programme. Miss Good rich appears in "The Making of Mad dalena," an appealing story of studio life In Europe and society life in Amer ica. Arbuckle is the hero of a two-act Keystone comedy, "The O'her Man." The Sunset has another star on its bill this week In the person of Miss Virginia Alnsworth, a dramatic sopra no-contralto. Miss Alnsworth, who has an -operatic experience covering three continents, made a decidedly fa vorable Impression at her opening ap pearances yesterday, her Italian char acter song, "When Madam Tetrazln Sings Clribiribin," composed especially for her by Will Rosslter, literally bringing down the house. Her voice Is remarkable for its range, covering four octaves, and Is also one of unusual power. "The Making of Maddalena" is a story of a European peasant girl and a young American artist, son of wealthy parents, who goes to Europe to make a name for himself at the behest of his fiancee. During a Fourt" of July cele bration in the Latin quarter the young fellow receives a letter from his fian cee breaking their engagement. Half drunk, and angered at the action of the girl in America, he weds Maddalena. His father disowns him and after a vain struggle for existence the man goes back to America and the father forcibly secures possession f his grand son. After many vicissitudes Madda lena goes to America, becomes a nurse. and Is reunited with her son and hus band when she nurses the boy through an epidemic attack. Roscoe Arbuckle, Keystone s leading comedian. Is ill one of his funniest comedies. "The Other Man" is re sponsible for more than the usual quota of laughs. Majestic. College and newspaper life are blended with that of the American aristocracy of wealth and the English of title in "Where Love Leads," a Fox photoplay starring Ormi Hawley and featuring ROckcliffe Fellowes, at the Majestic Theater. This is another one of those "dream" pictures, but one so skillfully executed that not until the final reel does the spectator realize that he has been the victim of some other chap's sleeping imagination. Richard Warren, a college athletic hero, saves the life of Marion BJrstow, daughter of a wealthy family. A plot is hatched to ruin Warren, but he turns the tables on his enemies and wins the football game for his school. At a dance following the game Warren pro poses to Marlon.

The girls are entrusted to a woman who Is really a queen of the underworld. The girls fall into the clutches of New York's tenderloin. Warren, still in newspaper work, and searching for "human Interest" stories, effects the rescue of the girl and her captors are arrested. Then he awakens. Warren has fallen asleep at his typewriter in the news paper "shop," and beside him stands Marion, who declares that she will marry him without parental consent. "Fare Lady," a Falstaf f-Mutual com edy, and Pathe News, with many in teresting events, including recent ten nis struggles in Eastern courts, are other subjects screened. T & 1.
