The story "Cowardice Court" has been put Into pictured form with the talented little Hyland girl as its leading char acter. The theme is one to delight the modern thinker, having for its central idea the holding up to analysis of the idle rich and social parasites. Yankee coin and British titles, with a young American in a feud over land owner ship play a vital part in the story. It is realistically pictured, particularly a storm scene which is very natural. Miss Hyland has a role which she plays especially well, aa an English girl whose relatives thrust her through their own stupidity into the keeping of the very man they most fear. Electro, the "Human Dynamo" is capital act. possessing the feature of novelty and constant interest. Electric Ity and its power is demonstrated. The human dynamo performs' various interesting phenomena, chatting cheer fully the while and a pleasant element of the intimate enters into his demon strations when he walks through the aisle and allows patrons to "assist," He lights a candle from sparks emanat ting from his finger tips and as a climax is strapped into a chair and allows a high voltage electric current to pass through bis body. The act is educational and amusing as well. A pair of pretty maids are Misses Connell and Mercel, who offer smart chatter, songs of a delightful variety, all of It permeated with personality. The Burtons are a keen pair, a man and a charming girl whose dancing is of an excellent order and extremely original and up to date. Campbell and Greenwood have a line of new stories punctuated by pleasant singing. The International News series adds interest. CAMP LEWIS FIGHT BITTER DEMAVD FOR PREDTTCED AREA PLACED BEFORE BAKER.

Wash Ington. conducted the condemnation proceedings against the lands included in tbe revocation, conferred with Sec retary of War Baker. He explained to Secretary Baker all of the pro ceedure by which Pierce county took over the lands which it ceded to the government for the military reserva tion. These facta were put at the disposal of the secretary of war to prepare him for the coming of w. 11. Abel and delegation from Tacoma to submit th protests of dissatisfied land owners. Several of the farmers whose lands were taken over want their lands re- urned to them, while others, it is understood, ask to be allowed to con tinue their residence on lands for which they have been paid, but which are not being used for military pur poses. The contest has grown bitter and Representative Albert Johnson has been placed in an uncomfortable posl tion by charges that he has given en couragement to the dissatisfied land owners. This he denies emphatically. Secretary Baker, It is understood takes the position that the state courts f Washington have disposed of the condemnation proceedings, the lands have been paid for and that he will take no action to change the status of the reservation. 1HEUEH IN HOT DEBATE BROTHERHOOD MEN DIVIDED OX CANADIAN STRIKE.

"I lost considerable sleep over the dangers which I knew intervened between Redding, Cal, and Eugene, Or" Colonel Milton F. Davis of the army air service wrote to Lieu tenant Henry L. Watson, commandant of Mather field, Sacramento, congrat ulating him on the successful return of the first six of the airplanes which gave exhibitions at the Portland Rose festival. The nervous interest with which the United States air service watched the trip of the squadron of airplanes from Mather field to Portland and return was probably never appreciated by those who saw the planes in action in Oregon and along the way. The ten sion under which air service officials labored Is best revealed in Colonel! Davis' letter. He says: "I consider this flight one of the1 best pieces of flying work that has been done in America. To fake six ships from Sacramento to Portland ana return without serious mishap is a fine piece of work. . Muck Work Necessary. "On behalf of General Menoher, and especially for myself, I want to con gratulate you and your fliers on the flying work necessary to make tft trip and on the engineering work that was necessary to put and keep your ships in condition for the trip. Ail of u,s here in Washington were think ing of you and hoping for and wish ing you success many times a day. Personally, I thought of you many times through the night. "As I was largely responsible for this trip at this particular time and for the occasion in question (the Rose Festival) I was naturally much con cerned over the success of the trip. "Not but what I knew the exhibition side of it would be properly carried out. but I was much concerned ana lost considerable sleep over the dangers which I knew intervened between Redding, Cal., and Eugene, Or. Saeeess Brings Relief. J "I have been all around Mount Shasta, through the lava beds, and! am fairly familiar with all of the mountains of southern Oregon; there fore, know the territory which you had to cross. When I saw this morning that your six J.N -4 a had returned to Mather field I breathed a sigh of re lief. Will breathe another one and be supremely thankful when we get re ports of the return of the De Havl- lands. 'I am glad you gave Governor Olcott and Mr. Klepper a chance to see what it means to fly from Portland to Sac ramento. I am also glad that you gave the people of Oregon, as far as possible, an opportunity to see a small fleet of airplanes. I am sure they will appreciate it." L SHIRLEY MASON IN THE FINAL CLOSE-UP If Shirley had kept it in the "First Na tional Bank" he'd never have learned of her little masque rade. She didn't and thereby hangs the story of the jprl who wanted to live "like they do in the movies." NOW PLAYING COLUMBIA Fire losses in 1918 in the timber re serves of Klamath county, Oregon, alone amounted to $100,000, according to a letter received by Senator McNary from J. f.

Evangelist to Enter Pnre-Bred Hogs and Cattle at Pacific Inter national Exposition. 'Scrub livestock ought to be as scarce around the up-to-date farm aa weeds are in any good garden patch. Scrubs re the weeds of the livestock world. and bear the same relation to profitable ure-breds as do tbe nutriment-devour ing, worthless weeds to good, honest egetables that make a fair return to man for his investment of time, money and trouble.' This is an epigram from an enthus iastic talk on the Importance of devel oping tbe livestock industry in the northwest by Billy Sunday, who Is stockholder in the big $250,000 stock- show building now going up an North Portland. He is making preparations to make several entries in the hog and dairy animal classes to compete for honors and premium money at the big Pacific International Livestock expo sition show in November. Mr. Sunday owns a herd of more than 70 pure-bred Berkshire hogs, and has just bought two blue-ribbon hellers, a Jersey and a Holstein, to add to his two fine herds. "Ma Sunday is the proud owner of 700 pure-bred white Leghorn chickens, "with not a wrong feather in the bunch. We wouldn't have a scrub animal of any kind on tbe ranch." said Billy em phatically, "and anybody that wants to run a farm or stock ranch on any kind of a business basis bad better adopt the same plan. A man that keeps scrubs usually keeps a mortgage. It takes the pure-breds to bring in the profits." GOLF LINKSARE FAVORED Improvement of Grounds for Plane Landing Field Urged.
