THE SIGN OF THE FOUR"

.The Sign of the Four Monday s attraction at Polls, was written from one of Conan Doyle's stories. Is well put together and with knowledge of the true value of situations. There Is a climax every bit as clever as the re markable one in the original Sherlock Holmes play. where the dark room and cigar plays the important part and keen interest is engendered ill the play all the time. There is now mawk- ish pandering to trick scenic effects. but by legitimate ends excitement is created and the interest is intense throughout. It is said by the man. agers that an excellent company sur rounds Walter Edwards in the role of Sherlock Holmes. and all the electrical and scenic effects are carried.

family the topic OF probably chiefest
interest just at the present time Is
that of waterways improvement.
The fact that the Trans-Mississippi
congress and the National Grange
convention last week both heartily
indorsed the movement to have the
government appropriate $50,000,00O
annually for the prosecution of de-
velopment work, has aroused the ma
tional legislators to the extent of the
popular demand. Congressman 7. X.
Burton, of Ohio. chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee OF the
house, is at present at Hot Springs,
Va, a health resort much affected
by official Washington, and Is making
plans for meeting of his commit
tee to consider the question before
the fall of Speaker Cannon's gavel
opens the session. A number of con-
gressmen have disappeared from here
to reappear in the lobby of the
liOHlGbitdu lOlOi ~ thN .
place, and pressure Is being brought
to bear on Mr.. Burton TO have his
committee give the waterways i'm
provement the consideration its i'm
portance should command. Repre-
sentative Rodenburg, OF Illinois, one
of the arrivals, is enthusiastically In
favor of the "lakes-to-the-gulf" canal
project. while a score OF others are
declaring that commerce in their
especial districts is suffering because
OF lack of transportation facilities.
The convention of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress here
December and z. will offer an op-
portunity for the crystalization OF
these demands. and 1t Is believed
that the federal government VIII be
aroused to the necessity for setting
vigorously to work to remedy the
neglect of nearly half century given
over TO the development of railroads
TO the xeclusion of all rival methods
of transportation.

The delegation OF oregon business
men who are going east to look after
oregons interests in the National
Rivers and herbor Congress will in
ject a new element into the federal
policies and that will have very little
patience with red tape methods. Il
takes about five years of circumlocu-
ton now to get an Improvement of a

as long as that to get a patent to
a piece of government land, and then
the department is unable to protect
the people or the government against
glaring and gigantic frauds. The
land department is not only afflicted
with senility. as Senator Fulton put
