in Wilkes-Barre. He heard the woman
give her name to the store clerk to
charge bill of goods, and at the men
ton of the name Skiles he approached
the woman and learned that she, as a

pedition.

which he says will enable him to sup
port his bride in comfort, if not lux

LECTURED ON TELEPHONE
s. B. Watts Addressed Business Men of

ity."
Mr.. Watts delivered lecture several
weeks ago on 'The Telephone Girl'
before this same organization and they
were so well pleased that they request
ed a return engagement. The audience,
which taxed the capacity of the hall,
demonstrated the popularity of these
lectures on the science of telephony.
Mr.. Watts dealt principally with the
history of the telephone from the date
of invention down to the present time,
with its modern appliances which make
possible a conversation from ocean to
ocean. Excellent slides were shown of
the Harrisburg exchange, outside con-
struction in the Harrisburg district and
various scenes in connection with the
Installation of telephones and the estab-
hshment o. service. A brief history
was given of the men who have been
responsible in great measure for the
rapid growth of this modern utility, all
Of whom are living to-day.
That which was especially interest
ing to the audience was to learn the
manner in which repairs are made to
| lines on which trouble has occurred
The use of motor trucks has greatly ia
| eilitated these repairs, which are made
promptly.regardless of weather condi-
tons and the distance trouble may be
from an exchange.

U. s. STRONGER FINANCIALLY
OVER THE WAR, SAYS SCHlFF

Pasadena, Cal, March 26.-"The
war has given America chance to set
her financial house in order. That coun-
try is strongest which has the fewest
debts outcide.'
Thus did Jacob Fl. Schiff, fnancier
of New York, who arrived here yester-
day, indicate one of the benefits be-
slowed upon this country by the Euro
pe2n conflict.
"We have become stronger since
the great conflict broke OUT he said,
"because we have had opportunities to
purchase many of our securities from
the European holders. The war, be-
lieve, will end in the autumn, but not
because of an exhaustion of the bellig-
erents credit. Money for the making
of war never will be scarce as long as
there are printing presses

At the Orpheum

Because of the fact that the, Orphe-
um s present season is rapidly slipping
away, one of the best vaudeville offer
ings of the year is holding forth there
this week. This season, as in former
seasons, it has been the aim of the
management to wind up the vaudeville
term in a very excellent manner, max
ing the last shows the best shows, so
that vaudeville appetite will be kept
in splendid tone all during the heated
term. This year accordingly is no ex-
ception to the rule. The ideal works
out beautifully in the current offering,
which vaudeville patrons on every
hand are declaring to be one of the sea-
son choicest.
Next week we are to see the ia
nous actress, Henrietta Crosman, star
ring in a wonderful drama entitled
"Thou Shalt Not Kill. " Miss Cros-
man will be supported by noteworthy
array of big Keith names. For the
next couple weeks headliners, just as
interesting, are promised. So the slo-
gan to vaudeville fans to-day, is get in
line and see this week S show at the Or
pheum, and don't miss any of the last
few that are to follow. For the man
agement promises these last few weeks
to be the cream of the season. 1t will
be interesting to note that the Eight
Royal Dragons, that Ralph Dunbar
presents this week as the headline at
traction, also sent the Nine Royal Hus-
sars to the Orpheum last year as the
headliner of the seasons last bill.
There is a striking similarity between
these two acts and last year the Hus-
sars were widely discussed as being the
best headline attraction of the season.
There 's, corking layout of Keith acts
supporting this one at the Orpheum

U. S. DEVELOPS Fisheries
Department of Commerce Discover
Abundance of Halibut Off Coasts
of Washington and oregon

Washington, d. c., March 20
During the summer of 1914 the De-
partment of Commerce, through the
Bureau of Fisheries, conducted an ex-
ploration of certain fishery grounds
of the coasts of Oregon and Washing
ton to determine, particularly, if hall
but were present in sufficient guam
titles to support a fishery. The fishery
steamer Albatross was used for this
survey. The survey covered, as well as
time permitted, the area inshore of the
10O-fathom curve, from just north of
Grays Harbor, Wash, nearly to Cape
Blanco, Ore.
A halibut ground of some value was
found off Newport, Ore, covering an
area of approximately 250 square
miles. The run of fish on this bank
reaches its maximum in August and
September, but apparently is of com
mercial Importance as early as June,
and probably some halibut could be
taken in the latter part of April. AS
an immediate result of the Albatross
findings, fishermen made 21. trips 10
the ground, taking about 10000
pounds of halibut, valued at about
$4,000. Trips yielding 10000 pounds
were made in four days or less IRE
spective of the abundance of fish,
weather conditions and the lack of
harbors will inhibit fishing excepting
from April to October. Several small
er areas of Grays Harbor and Coos
bay may be expected to produce hall
but in limited numbers; and the en-
tire coast of Oregon was found to
abound in founders, soles, rock cod
and black cod-a valuable food sup
ply when market conditions warrant
its exploitation
The report on the investigation
with charts, will soon be issued and
may be obtained on application to the
Bureau of Fisheries, Washington.
