Moving Pictures
TO be Better

If the rules of the new moving pict-
ure trust formed recently in New
York city, which went into effect yes
terday, are carried through as promis-
ed. Walla Walla will soon have the
number of her ten cent amusement
houses cut nearly in twain, perhaps
there will be less than half the num-
ber now running, in two months.
The manufacturers of the films have
formed an association, the object of
which is to Feep the moving pitcure
business from running into the ground
They nave increased the rental of films
will limit the number of houses in each
city, will charge a license of those who
get the films, and will exercise a gen.
eral supervision of the moving picture
show of the country.
There are many shows that are US
ing old, second hand films, so full OF
rain that one can scarcely see them
that are running as cheaply as possi-
BILE and with little regard to morals
or anything else" said Manager Ralph
Smith of The Dime this afternoon
This class of shows is running the
picture business into the ground, and
is going to put an end to it if it is not
stopped. For this reason the manu-
facturers are licensing the shows and
only as many will be allowed in
town this size as can put on fresh films
and use no repeaters. If any more
run, they will have to get old films
as best they can, from the three OF
four outlaw manufacturers, and these
are of a class that will not draw
crowds.
Il am glad to see the change. Il
protects me and protects the people
The class of pictures will be higher
with less crime and more educatlona
films The change went into eHec'
yesterday, but it will probably not snow
results for a month or two"

Want Room for

low," said Mr.. Wight this morning.
I'VE can fill all the space We can get
and without an additional amount Of
room given us by the exposition peo-
rlc. Walla Walla county cannot make
the showing she should. The fruit is in

81 o.:ing.
We are going to enli-t TIL. manu-
Jactul ers in the plan lor the exhibit
and if 1t is possible, will have some-
thing shown from every factory in
Wara Walla county. 1t is the best
chance for advertising the city and
county will have for many years and it
is / me to get bus,.
There is anOiliCr thing I would
like 20 see done, ard that is to have
exhibits placed ir public places about
Icwn. For inst4roe, in the lobby Of
the Dacres hoe! ir the railroad sta
tons, and in the Commercial club
ron.ns. These woGld he seen by visitors
and would do much in the way of ad-
vertising the r,sCc crces of the country
The fruit that is being prepared for

purpose The eyr:Dse of maintaining
the exkit'iis would be sly all and / am

OLYMPIA, Feb. 2.-(SpeciaD-Bil
Sunday has come and gone, and so far
as the local option question is con-
cerned it is believed to be practically
unchanged.
While Sunday addressed an audience
at the theater last night, those who
have been opposing the county unit
bill. were conspicuous by their absence
and did not get the benefit of Sun
days powerful arguments against the
saloon business. At the joint hearing
by the judiciary committees both sides
were given hearings, but without any
apparent effect upon the members pres
ent. This morning a petition signed
by a thousand Spokane people was pre-
sented in the house asking for the pas
sage of the county unit bill.
