BREED THEATER,
Greed for Gold, Superb Scenic West
 ern Lubin Feature Drama.

There have been western features without number, but the western feat ure at the Breed today is one of super 1ative merit. It is entitled Greed for Gold, and is enacted by the famous Lubin company. The difficulties form ing the plot of this drama revolve around the ownership of mine, which ultimately falls to the third party Until We Three Meet Again, the big two reel feature, is indeed a beauty; 1t tells of three college chums who up on leaving college pledge themselves to meet again in ten years. That they do meet is emphaticaIly proven by this great film, but under much different conditions than they expected It is a powerful drama, handsomely staged and presented, and the nature settings are the acme of beauty. Funny Bunny is seen in a superb artistic comedy drama entitled The Wonderful Stat ue, in which Lillian Walker, the Dim pies of the cast, poses as the statue, and causes no end of fun and trouble When They Were Kids is an appeal ing vision film. full of beauty and 4igOrs

Receommendation for Single Com
 missioner.
 Governor Baldwin recommended, in his message to the legislature, that the two boards of commissioners of shell fisheries and of fish and game should be consolidated into ones and that one commissioner should perform the work Of both boards, in the interests or economy.
 The fish and game committee report ed unfavorably on the proposition to change the present hsh ana same commission, but a bill has been intro tluced, known as a substitute for sen ate bill No. 172. to carry out the gov ernor,S recommendation regarding the sheIlf1sh commission.
 The bill provides for a single com missioner. who shall also act as clerk, instead of the present board of three commissioners. The commissioner would receive a salary of $1.50o per year. and there would be board of relief of three members. who would receive S5 per day when actually em- Dloyed
 Thus the salary expense of the she'll nsh commission would be cut in half. The question as to whether the eff ciency of the board would be impaired is answered by the fact that the duties to be performed are now comparatively light and would not require the atten- tion of even a single commissioner for more than a part of his time. The cOmm1SSl0n or three m0LuD0TS was originally appointed in 1881. principal 1y for selling the oyster grounds be- longing to the state.
 The sales of oyster ground were practically finished over 15 years ago and there is so little work for the commission that one man with 8 part of his time can perform all their du- ties and those of the clerk of shell fisheries.
 The representative oyster growers of the state say that they have no griev- ance against the present commission srs, and if the state is disposed to re- tain these officials and pay them a salary the oyster growers make no ob- tections, provided the present exces- give expense of the commission should not be charged up against the oyster industry. but it has been often inti- mated that the shellfish commission was for the beneft of the industry.
 They can do practically nothing to promote the culture of shellfish and if the state desires to continue the com mission in its present expensive form the oyster growers wish to go on rec ord as protesting against the expense the question of taxation is concerned, there is no doubt that some of the grounds were at one time assessed too low by the clerk of shell fisheries, until about three years ago, and he in creased them so that they are about three times what they were before he assessed them. grounds on the part of the clerk of shell fisheries cost the state a great many thousand dollars, whereas as soon as 1t was put in the hands of a practical oyster planter the assess ments were greatly increased.
