! If Grace Livingston Furniss had
written "Gretna Green." at the Peoples,
for Marguerite Clark, she could not
have made a jrole that would ,suit tho
Jittle star to a more complete .nicety,
ind she quite eclipses anything else
that she has given the screen. She is
a willful, high strung little flirt, full
pt mischief and caprice of the dainty
and bewitching sort. But she has
Courage and does not hesitate to' def y
her domineering brother-in-law and
guardian, save her sister from dis
grace, and smile gaily through the
penalty society tries to inflict ' upon
her as a result, until the tables are
(turned and society is at her feet. The
bill Is completed with a Nestor comedy

The Spirit of the Conqueror" or "TheH
Napoleon of Labor," the current fea
ture at the Sunset. The early scenes
show a group of departed leaders,
Lincoln, Washington, Grant and others,
on the shore of Paradise listening to
a report, of earth's misery brought by
a messenger. They are told that a
body or earth Is waiting a spirit, so
Lincoln goes for Napoleon and urges
him to devote his genius to peace, not
war. Napoleon agrees, and his' spirit
passes into the new born son of the
richest man In ihe World. Later, the
son takes the side of labor against his
capitalist father, and effects a uni
versal Organization of all trades. When
his father will not yield td the de
mands of labor a universal strike is
called :he country over, and after a
United States senate committee has
taken 4 hand, the father yields. The
son. parses away from earth just as
the father yields, and the picture
closes with the spirit of Napoleon re
turning to Paradise. The picture is
too lonjr and consequently not uniform
in intei est. "Ambrose's Sour Grapes,"

The chance of getting oil in commer
cial quantities in western Oregon is
very Blight, indeed, according
report of C. W. Washburne
United States geological survey.
The substance of his report,
public today by a bulletin of the geo-
logical survey, Is that while thfere are
many indications of oil in jk-estern
Oregon, the absence of oil seeps is
discouraging, for the rocks
broken that it seems improbable that
much oil could occur In them ahd still
not leak out at the surface and form
seeps.
The possibility of obtaining
drilling is regarded as slightly
able in a few places in Coos, Djouglas
Lincoln and "Lane counties, bu!t even
there the chances are not considered
gooa.
Mr. Washburn , says that a paref ul
study of all the known occurrences of
gas in western Oregon shows that the
chances of getting commercial jquan ti
tles of it are no more favorable than
they are for oil.
In Mr. Washburn's report all jthe re
ported seeps of oil and gas 4re de
scribed, and the possibilities of jobtain
ing oil and gas in the different coun
ties carefully considered. A copy of

Municipal Politics
Is
Photoplay Theme
Municipal politics in an imaginary
wester city where women may be
elected! to office furnishes the theme
for "The Fight." which opened at the
Columtjia , yesterday and which will
continule there tonight and Saturday.
Although exaggeration is rampant,
the, pliy shows what might be ex
pected to happen in a "wide open"
town, -here the myrmidons of organ
ized vice are in complete control. The
faint beartedness of "prominent citi
zens" in failing to give their support
to the I reform candidate for mayor,
Jane Thomas, is depicted, as well as
the supposed alliance of "big business"
as represented by the rent taking
class, with the underworld, whence
comes its rich and easy income.
"Gertie," a fantastic creation from the
imaginative pencil of Winsor McCay,
creator) of "Little Nemo." is in wel
come dontrast to the stress and strain
of "The Fight." "Gertie" is a playful
dinosajirus, and her antics represent
what inay have happened when the
earth was In Its early youth and the
coal bds were forming.

Clever and Varied
Bill at the Lyric
Thei e is plenty of cleverness and
variety in the bill that is. offered by
the Lyric for the second half of the
week. Oldfield and ' Drew, calling
themselves the "funshine duo," were
favorites with the audiences that
crowded the theatre yesterday. Old

things, just as some persons find'
themselves wanting to Jump frojm high
places. ,
Sits On With Rifle; Killed.
I suppose the Swede hai been
tempted time and again to stop one of
the bombs with his rifle and one day
the temptation became too strong.
The Germans had another tripk that
reminded me of the American game of
football. Now and then a few of them
would clamber out of the trenches, ,
under a terrific- fire, to put tie hrh i
wire entanglements. j
They wore armor over thelrj bodies
and heads. They were gruesome look
ing' objects, but they reminded me,
however, for all the world, of football
players. We never killed any pf these
armored men, but we usually dropped
them by hitting them in the ljsgs. It
! seemed that their shlnguarda were not
as protective as the rest of their odd
apparel. j
Another new Invention used! by the
Germans was a swivel, fixed1 in ce
ment on which the Germans; swung
their rifles. j
French Em XTew Ideas,
Each man would fix his aim at a
very small section of our trenches and
when ordered to shoot, he coulid reach
up and pull his trigger without! raising
his head. It was merely artHle:ry prac
tice applied to rifles and It had a
deadly effect.
The white night lights which were
sent into the air and then hovered over
the trenches, suspended frorn small
parachutes, were Introduced by the
Germans, but it wasn't long before we
had them, too. J '
It -was in the artillery line that the
French developed new ideas. Tjhe Ger
man gun kicks with each discharge. It
rears back on its wheel, slews around
and must usually be re-aimed.
But ther wonderful French gun,
known as the "Solxante Quinzt," fires
22 .9 shells a minute. The recoil is
caught by cylinders filled with
glycerine. j
The" gun loads itself automatically
and it never loses Its aim. And, on ;
our part of the line, all the jnew in- i
ventions which the Germans could de- 1
velop, could not overcome the great j
advantage which the French jheld on
account of the "Solxante Quinze" gun. j
Germans in "Beet Coats." j
In its way this gun is as marvelous j
and revolutionary as the great 42
centimeter guns of the Germans.
The "beet coat," as we called it, was i
one of the cleverest inventions that we
saw in our part of the line. All of the
country around us in whjch ' our J
trenches were dug was sugar beet land
and the landscape was a vista of beet
leaves. j
One day we saw a mountain! of these
leaves heaving in a peculiar fashion.
"IX'4 only a mole digging," jsaid our
lieutenant. But suddenly the whole
pile moved and hunched forwird. We '.
began to, shoot, and, to our amazement '
the beet leaves rose on two strong ,
German legs and dashed back to the j
trenches. We laughed uproariously, j.
The Germans reminded us Americans
of Montgomery and Stone in their dis
guises. Wo fniinfl out later that the Ger
mans would take u gunnyflack. cut
head and armholes in it, pin beet '
leaves to the sack and then jvear.the"
sack like a coat.- If a man- moved
caretully along 'on his storiiach the
chances of his being seen were very j
small. I j
Pire Destroys Machine Qnni.
I was detailed with two oljher' men ;
to burn .a straw stack in which the
Germans had hidden machine guns. We '
spent the day in making "beft coats" '
and at 9-o'clock in the evening we
donned them and, started ou on our
