COLORED FILMS SUCCESS HENRY BERGER, JR., TO riTOTO- GRriI COLUMBIA HIGHWAY. N'evr Process" Films Soon to Domi nate Motion Pictorc Industry, Declares Expert. The photography of color In motion. that goal which has been sought eo in- efatigably for years. Is now a com mercially successful achievement, and mill soon dominate the motion picture industry, according to Henry Berger, Jr.. maker of the famous Itergcr-Jones Columbia River Highway pictures, who recently returned to Portland after sev eral years of camera globe trotting. During 1916-17 Mr. Berger was Identi fled with Prisma. Inc.. In the making of scenic pictures In the natural colo process. He filmed Glacier National Park. Yellowstone. Niagara. Tosemite, Apache Trail, and even made a trip to Hawaii. Thefte pictures were so sue eessful that Mr. Berger has been com miiwioned to film the Columbia River Highway. Crater Lake and Rainier Na tional I'ark next Summer. The natural color pictures are made with special cameras and special de velopment processes, but are projected through the standard machines In use In photoplay houses. The manufactur ing cost is only 10 per cent more than the films In preeent use. The natural colors are caught by the camera on a three-color base red. green and blue violet which, blended together, cover the entire spectrum. At the Theaters. Pantapes. CJENSATIONAL at every turn, and kj there are ten thousand turns In the turn. Is the headline act on the new bill at Pantages. Whirlwind acro bats are the performers who make up the act. The International Nine, it is called, possibly because each acrobat is garbed tn the costume of one of the allied nations and enters the act as a contestant. There can be no contest, however, for each of the nine is the winner. The audience gasps in amazement at the amazing convolutions and twistings and leaplngs. somersaultings and gyra tions of the nine, all working simul taneously. On one occasion the leader stands with eight men clinging to his body all at once. Every development in the act goes the preceding whirl one better and the audience is really In throes of wildest applause through It all. The athletic chaps all work smilingly and rapidly. The five American girls offer a pic turesque act of artistic and musical merit. Each is possessed of a lovely singing voice and besides this they play various musical instruments skill fully. There's a freshness and a Qual ity of charm about the act that pleases' immensely. Fun of the keenest variety is incor porated in the firing line comedy sketch. "Behind the Front," presented by the two Tinney players. One is ebon, and not exactly looking for a fight, and the other, a white chap, egga on with enthusiasm. Finally the ebon soldier goes over the top with a couple of razors and a quick change of curtains shows seven million slain Huns on the battlefield, while the ebon slayer nonchalantly says, "Lea go somewhere where it's excltinV One of the smartest dancing turns in vaudeville Is that of Henry and Adelaide, who dance so easily and so smoothly that It seems second nature to them. A clever idea is introduced when Henry makes a complete chance of wardrobe, even to buttoning his shoes, without losing a fraction of a step or missing a music beat. Dainty blond Adelaide is a clever stepper, too, and the act fairly hums with Interest and novelty. A pair of humorists are Fields and Wells, who exchange Jokes and sing together pleasingly. Jack Goldie, a blackface monologist. has a nifty little turn, full of fun and music and finishing with extraordinary whistling. Ruth Roland is in the 15th episode of "Hands Up." and it's still thrilling. An amendment to the state constitu tion which will be of material assist ance in the development of Oregon, in the opinion of Representative p. J. Gallagher, of Harney and Malheur counties, will be introduced during the coming legislative session. -Mr. Galla gher arrived from Ontario yesterday In order to be here for the Oregon Irri gation Congress. "Senator Jullen A. Hurley, of Grant, Harney and Malheur counties. says Mr. Gallagher, "has given the problem a great deal of thought and between us we have figured out the hard knots and how to avoid them. Oregon, as anyone acquainted with the state knows, cannot develop as it should un til the arid land is irrigated. The problem confronting irrigation Is one of proper and sufficient financing. State Aid Contemplated. What we desire Is an amendment to the constitution which will enable the state to underwrite or absorb bond issues for irrigation projects. There have been some good and some poor projects, and there have been wildcat projects which have caused peoplo to lose money, so that now bonds for an irrigation project cannot command in the market what they are worth. There Is a first-class project the Warm Springs where the bonds, bear ing S per cent, had to be sold at 91, a matter of nine points below par, and yet this issue should have sold easily at par o rabove. "The suggestion Is to have the state land board pass on projects and when the engineers have made their report the board can approve or reject. If the project is feasible and worth while, the ' bond issue can be underwritten by the state. This will give the bonds a sta bility and they will sell at par and can be offered at a lower rate of in terest to investors. With the state behind such a bond Issue there is no reason why they could not command a premium, just as municipal improve ment bonds of Portland command premium. Better Market In View. "Of course, the main factor to be observed would be in a thorough and careful investigation of the proposed project by the state engineer. When this work Is completed and the board satisfied, the ret would be easy. One effect of such a measure would be that wildcatttng would cease, and projects, the bonds of which are underwritten by the state, would have a ready mar ket, thus supplying the funds neces sary to carry on such development work in Oregon. Among the legislators in town yes terday were Senator I. L. Patterson, of Benton and Polk; Representative W. V. Fuller, of Polk, and Representative P. .J. Gallagher, of Harney and Mai heur. A large number of members are expected to assemble before the end of the week. The state highway commis sion meeting today is expected to bring several Senators and Representa tives to town. The Grade Teachers' Association has prepared a bill to be introduced in the Legislature, dealing with the correc tion of young children, and the estab lishment of a court of domestic rela rions. The bill provides a salary of $4000 a year for the Judge of the pro posed court, the court to have jurisdic tion over cases involving dependent. delinquent or neglected children; com mitment of the Insane or feeble-minded and adjustment of mothers' pen sions.

Young Crampton entered the medical corps and was transferred from Fort Knox to Camp Polk for the tank service. When he arrived at Camp Polk, under orders, no one there had any record of his coming. The presumption is that there was a mixup In the clerical department and Crampton's papers were sent to Camp Taylor, where he did not arrive, be cause he was never sent there. The police information is that he deserted from Camp Taylor. In the final ros ter of the 341st Battalion, Tank Corps, published December 14, Crampton's name appears. From Camp Polk he was sent to Camp Lewis to be mua tered out. This Is not the only Instance I have known of in which a man in the serv ice was posted as a deserter," says Mr. Crampton, father of the boy. "A friend of mine, who is listed as a deserter, has been shot to pieces in France, but the records here hold him a deserter. because, perhaps, he did not receive his questionnaire nor answer it."
