ONG WAR IS PICTURED WORKINGS OF CHINESE SECRET SOCIETIES SHOWN AT STRAND. Photoplay Written by Oriental ana Pro duced by Countrymen True to Life. Vaudeville Features Good. Just what happened to Ham Quong Fong at the hands of the hostile gun men of the Hop Sing tong. no longer ago than Saturday can be better rea lized by the vaudeville patrons who at tended the opening of the new bill at the Strand Theater yesterday, and wit nessed the Redfeather photoplay, "The War of the Tongs." The photoplay is essentially true to ife, as a picture of how the Chinese tongs make war, and scores of local Chinese citizens were in the throngs hat went to witness the production. Written by a Chinaman and played by a Chinese troupe of actors, the film is the first of its kind ever produced in the United States, and portrays with uncommon fidelity, the inner workings of life in the Chinese quarters. The plot is built up around a love story, and the tong war arises over the rivalry of two tong leaders for the hand of the charming Chinese heroine. There are stirring scenes in the Inner lodge rooms of the tongs there is the Inside of the Chinese lottery games, the thrilling gun-play when the rival tongmen clash, and the photoplay is altogether start- ingly apropos and interesting, in view of what has been taking place In Port land in real life within the past few days. The vaudeville half of the bin pre sents four bright features, not the least of which Is Billy Small with his hu morous violin. Billy has endeared himself already to the vaudeville fans of Portland, and in his offering In the new Strand bill adds fresh laurels. Mile.

FARM TO BE CUT UP Union Pacific Bays Sharp Place, In , Three-Mile Valley Settlers Are Sought to Grow Fruit and Vegetables. Wanted 100 families to colonize as many garden tracts near The Dalles. This, figuratively, is the appeal that .will be made during the next few weeks by the colonization department of the Union Pacific system and. The Dalles Chamber of Commerce. These two institutions are co-operating and have arranged for the pur chase of the E. F. .Sharp farm In the Three-MIle valley, near The Dalles, and are trying to get enough people to settle on the property so that it can be cut up into small fruit farms and garden tracts. Liberal inducements will be offered to settlers. A ready market is avail able for their products. The big can neries of Libby, McNeill & Lib by and the Drl-Frult Company at The Dalles can stand 5000 tons more of fruits and small vegetables every year, than they are now using.- C. C. Glgnoux, assistant colonization agent for the Union Pacific system and William McMurray, general pas senger agent for the O.-W. R. & N. Co., returned yesterday from The Dalles where they assisted In the ne gotiations with the Chamber of Com merce in that city for purchase of the property. Mr. Gignoux will leave this week for New York and other Eastern cities where he will try and get enough col onists to take up the land. Italian families are preferred as they are re p"uted to be fcetter adapted to intensi fied farming on a small scale than any other. The Sharp ranch consists of 1100 acres, all cleared. It has excellent soil and can grow berries and vege tables quite readily. It Is probable that some of it can be cultivated this year. Sale and development of the prop erty will be in the hands of the busi ness men of The Dalles entirely. They propose to cut it up into tracts of 10 to 15 acres and to offer it to the set tlers on the easiest possible terms. The Union Pacific system has ar ranged to furnish the settlers, but will have nothing whatever to do with the actual sale of the land. This is the first of a series of col onization schemes to be worked out this year by the Union Pacific system co-operating with individual commu nities along its lines in the North west. It Is probable that other property will be acquired in the vicinity of The Dalles for similar purposes. The big canneries there are demanding fruit and vegetables in large quan tities, and are prepared to extend their facilities to use all produce of this kind that is offered.

Portland pastors are determined to encourage not only their church mem bers, but all who are weary and de spondent, to feel at liberty to "come and talk it over. If the pastors studies are regarded more widely as clinics for the solution of life's greatest problems, they state, much sorrow and many rash steps can be avoided. Or. T. W. Lane, pator of the Cen tenary Hethodist Episcopal Church, de clared yesterday that if one would but stop and tell ome good, sensible per son about his difficulties, in almost every case a solution for the problem could be found and the tragedy of sui cide averted. "Very often it Is just an Impulse," said Dr. Lane, "and If the man or wom an who Is so badly troubled 'hat he feels he must yield to this Impulse would but go to any pastor of any church and tell him, I feel certain he would gee a new viewpoint." Dr. Arthur F. Bishop, pastor of Cen tral Presbyterian Church, declared that ministers ara well fitted to diagnose cases because they come '.a touch with so many of life s sorrows as well as Joys. They are present at the christen ings, the marriages, the deaths, and they know the hearts of tne people. Uach p stor can. Dr. Bishop said, give sound advice and be a friend to the man who "has reached the end of his rope."' Uean McColllster. of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, iald that any sensi ble clergyman or business man might give the right word or find the solu tion of the problem that to the would be suicide seemed hopeless, but, of course, to conduct a s-lclde clinic the pastor is well fitted.
