Special program for the Roundup.
Four big features. Don't miss n of
them.
Life on the Border" A Selig mas
terpiece. A true story of the early
days in the west. No expense or care
was spared to make this picture real
ist,c and interesting. 1t is truly a
thrilling story. 1t is the terrible eX-
p~erience Of a young pioneer mother
left alone for the day in her wilder
ness home with only a five year old
child for company. The mother is
accidentally imprisoned in a wood
shed by her child. The little one tries
in vain TO lift the heavy latch and
while the mother is thus imprisoned
a bear being pursued by a band of
proving Indians arrives upon the
scene. They ransacked the empty ca
bin, finding ~"firewater." They be-
come very hilarious and set fire to
the cabin and the shed in which the
terrified mother is in. The flames
are rapidly accomplishing their dead
ly work when the father arrives just
in time to say his wife.
"a Dutch Gold Mine" Biograph.
This story is amusing and exciting as
we'll. The scenery is fine. Both
Hans and the householder are vaude-
vile characters of note.
Through Jealous Eyes" Lubin.
One of the best dramas ever produce
ed. Depicts the work of the green
eyed monster, jealousy, in a home and
its final cure. 1t is SO convincingly
acted that if there are n improba-
bilities in the plot they pass unnotic-
ed so long as the picture is on the
screen. The great doctors office
nurse miss L~awrence) and the doc
tors son (Mr. Johnson) ave fallen in
love. The Doctors wife sees him jok-
ing with the nurse and gets it into
her head that it is the doctor who is
in love with the nurse. Subsequent
| events seem to confirm her suspicious
| and she is goaded almost to the point
of doing murder, when the son was
accidentally shot and brought home
and the whole affair explained, the
wife's jealousy vanished and she was
filled with remorse for her vigilance,
"A Second Honeymoon" Vita
graph. They get married, quarrel,
make up and get married again. We
are twice pleased with this picture. Ii
has a double equopment of laughs.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-09-13

George poisoned the ditch. The vet
Urinary examined the dead cattle and
the ditch and found the poison. A
pursuit occurs in which the renegade
crosses a deep chasm on the irrigating
flume. He was finally shot and fell
into the flume. A love story adds
interest to a very interesting picture.
"a Sioux Spy" Bison. A story Of
the Indian wars The brave was sent
by the chief to spy on the Cheyennes
and pretending sickness was taken to
their camp, where he fell in love with
Silver Moon. Love proved stronger
than duty and he did not return to
his people. In a battle between the
Sioux and Cheyennes he saved the
chiefs life and won Silver Moon.
"a Gasoline Engagement" Imp.
A comedy and then some. The young
man loved Grace, but dad wanted her
to marry a minister. Learning the
party were going automobiling in the
country George arranged to drive the
car. The adventures in the cellar
where George held a match over a
barrel of gasoline and compelled Pa
to give his consent and his rival the
minister to marry he and Grace are
sure funny.

the of the world; masters
Of the foreign tariffs and duties of the
world; masters of the foreign political
and economic policies of the world.
But in whom did God vest the pow
er to pronounce that commercial wed,
ding ceremony, which is to make the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans one For
years the French government had
toiled and.lavished money to accom-
plish that purpose only to sacrifice
her sons to the death-grip of the trop-
ical fever and plague. Experts from
every European nation declared the
enterprise a hopeless task, and the
French corporation was eventually
glad to turn over to the United States
the whole horrible hoodoo for a con-
sideration $4,000, 900. For some
years the United States met with SIM
liar results. 1t seemed a fruitless
waste Of men and money.
'Workmen perish in this climate
faster than they could be replaced
because the atmosphere reeked with
the germs of fever and death. The
march of human progress now faced
its Waterloo. Engineers, surveyors.
and mechanical experts had done
their best. But it was a hopeless bat
t~lefield to the forces of progress be-
cause the enemy was invisible. and
yet everywhere present. infinite in
number and constant in its onslaught
with fatal javelins of disease. But
there was one man overlooked in
whom rested the hope of the day. 1t
remained for the doctor of medicine
to transform the tropical climate Of
filth and fever into wholesome and
sanitary conditions. Through his lit
tie microscope he detected the rebels
line of march n smote the enemies
of mankind with shot and shell of
an~ti-toXine and germicide. Hence it
occurs that the laurel which crowns
the hero of the most important
achievement of modern times rests
upon the brow of the faithful and
fearless physicion.
doctors, you have reason to be
proud Of your profession. You are
indeed divinely called to a sacred
work. Personally, I do not believe
that Our Lords commandment to Ego

out without the scientific and di-
vinely appointed achievements of you
notwithstanding men. 1t is needless
for me to take your time this morn
ing to prove these assertions by citing
the numerous testimonials of our mis-
~sionaries in China and India and in
the uttermost islands of the sea. 7
can only thank you for your work and
remind you of the divine mission and
sacred responsibility of your calling
by the brief but unhesitating declara-
ton that you are the indispensable
~forerunners of civilization every

you are welcome to our city. We
are proud of the presence of your dis
~tinguished and educated men and that
you are here to discuss your themes
and topics of interest and stimulation
to your work and the physical WELL
being of mankind. I thank you all

not so freely give up his money.
Sir James Yo1all the English con-

dealers: "He knew how to crackle new
