Senator M’Gann left for Jess
creek last night. Among the elec
tion petitions filed recently was that
of the Senator and also Victor
A. Julien who is dredging on Os
borne creek. There is a report that
may be a premature announcement
that Tom Jensen who is operating
on Jess creek with Martin Raven
kilder will be a candidate for the
House of Representatives. Jess creek
seems to be productive of states
manlike ambitions.
The Sins of the Parents is the
suggestive title of a five reel produc
tion which will be shown at the
Eagle Hall tomorrow (Sunday)
night. The story is that of a young
girl who has been wrongfully be
trayed by an ardent lover, being
thrown on the world to
support herself as best she
could with her infant
daughter. The girl marries a clergy
man without telling him of her pre
vious misfortune and the tangle
which results when the daughter
of her early love and the betrayer’s
son cross each other's path in the
years following form the exciting
incidents of this sensational drama.
The play exposes one of the least
known phases of the white slave
trade and is literally alive with
dramatic and sensational scenes
which are acted In magnificent
fashion..

ing and is now in splendid condi
tion. A large number of men have
been employed and the road has
been gra' elled and surfaced as far

Dan Jones, the Road Commis
sioner of this district left for St.
Michaels yesterday afternoon on
the Umatilla. Before going he was
interrogated as to the difterences
of opinion which have arisen as to
the utility of the work being none
in the Kougarok. It appears that
the Chamber of Commerce wants
the money spent in the construc
tion of a trunk line connecting a
number of points in the Kougarok
with Taylor creek, whereas the road
commission is constructing the line
as required by the maximum of
freight hauling from Davisons land
ing.

One of the greatest labor dramas
ever produced “The Absentee”, will
be presented at the Dream tonight
and Sunday afternoon matinee.
Robert Edeson as Power in this
great production, does the best act
ing of his entire career. It deals
with a thrilling labor strike and
its awful results. Just as the mi
litia are about ready to fire “The
Absentee” the owner of the steel
mills returns. On Sunday night
Pearl White and George Krobert the
famous comedian will star in the
great comedy romance “The King's
Game”. This is one of uie best the
Dream ever presented.
Last night in A. B. Hall before
a fair-sized audience, which would
undoubtedly have been larger but
for the inclement weather, Mrs. Cor
nelia Hatcher delivered an able and
interesting lecture on the subject
of prohibitoin. Mrs. Hatcher is a
brilliant and accomplished speaker,
witty as well as clever, and hand
les the subject in a manner show
ing that she has had much actual
experience “On the prohibition fir
ing line”. She spoke of the fight
for prohibition in the state of
Warhington and the propaganda
work being carried on in Alaska
and predicted a nation-wide prohi
bition law for the United States in
1920.. The only organized opposi
tion is the Liquor and Brewers’ As
sociation which has subsidized many
papers and is circulating misstate
ments. She cited the prosperity of
Kansas which has been dry the past
35 years and also the vast improve
ment in business in Seattle since
the state went dry. One by one
she brought up the arguments used
against prohibition and showed
where they had no foundation in
fact. We regret that space forbids
us going more into details.
