Nearly Married,'' which will be presented by Cecil Spooner and her company all this week, begin ming tonight, it is safe to predict will be the laughing hit of the season at The Lyric For one solid year this brilliant comedy kept Broadway in roars of laughter, and was generally acknowledged by press and public to be the farcical triumph of the hour. Cecil Spooner and her company are equally at home in comedy as in Iegi- innate or comedy drama and will be Individually cast in parts to which they are aptIy adapted As to the plot. it possesses one which is not only novel but original to the extreme. The title of the piece strongly suggest the pivot and theme of this three act re- freshing farce which is ful1 of action. merry rnixups and screaming compli- atfons from start to finish. It is be- yoT1d question one of the brightest of comic plays produced during the past few years, and the author in con strac5fng it, did so with the main idea of. creating laughter and certainly ac- complished his purpose. This fact will be readily dem onstrated through out the week in Cecil Spooner's pro ductfon Of Nearly Married" and should prove a most exhilarating spring time performance.

Contract Awarded For
1917 Auto Number Plates

The contract for supplying the auto
mobile number plates for the year 1917
was today awarded by Secretary of
State Oleott to the rwin-HodsOn com
pany of Portland, for the lump sum of
$7,3ss.
Notwithstanding tnat another firm
bidding on this contract was a trifle
lower than the bid of Irwin Hodson
company, Secretary Of State Oleott, TAX
ing into consideration the convenience
to Oregon automobile owners by reason
of the difference in service necessarily
existing between a Seattle firm and a
Portland firm, manufacturing the goods
in the city of Portland, decided to
award the main contract to the Oregon
house.
A great many intricate and perplex-
ing situations arise curing the course
of the year, in distributing duplicate
motor vehicles, dealers and mOtorey-
cle number plates, and the fact that
they can be much more quickly manu-
featured in Oregon, thus very greatly
facilitating the delivery of these plates
to the public, was taken into considera-
tiOn in letting the contract.
The contract for the chauffeur
badges for the year 1917 was awarded
to the Pacific Coast Stamp Works of
Seattle, in the sum of $400.

ASiOria'S Fire Loss
Placed At $4,000

Astoria, Or, Mar. 21.-A revision of
the figures places the total losses of
Sunday night S fire at about 100000,
approximately half of which is covered
by insurance. The Young and Me
Gowan buildings were so badly dam
aged they will have to be torn down.
As one of the direct results of Sun
day nights fire, the council has in
structed the city attorney to prepare an
ordinance providing building code. If
this new code goes into effect, no wood
en- buildings will be allowed within the
area bounded by Second and Twenty
third streets, the south side of the rail
road tracks, and a varying boundary
between Duane and Exchange streets.
Every structure in this area must be
built with fireproof walls. Brick, ce-
ment, concrete, stone, or any like non
inflammable material may be used.
In the area between the waterfront
and the railroad tracks, all future
structures must be of mill construction
sheathed with iron or asbestos materi-
ais, Or any like substance of equal fire
resisting qualities.

Mine Grants by Villa
viii Revert to State
By H. G. Boehme,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Douglas, Ariz, March 2l,-"God
pity Villa if the Seventh and Tenth get
within sight of him!'
This expression of the general idea
was voiced today by an officer in the
American camp. When Douglas was
in danger during the battle of Aqua
Prieta, those regiments "stood by" on
the border while Villista bullets raincd
on American soil.
A number of soldiers fell victim to
the bandit snipers. The citizens have
quite swarm feeling" for the Viii
listas. During the fight and ever since,
troopers of the Tenth, u negro organ
ization frequently expressed desire to
get after "that Villa man."
American mining interests are anx.
iously awaiting today the ruling Of
Senior Enrique Moreno, dc facto secre-
tary Of state for Sonora, on the ruling
of Governor Elias Gales that all Amer
lean owned mines secured under grants
from Villa and the late Victoriano
IIuerta administration shall revert
back TO the state. Moreno is expected
TO issue statement in day or two
from Hermosilo. Federal grants from
Porfirio Diaz are not affected by the
action.
Confirmation was received here to-
dav that Villa is retreating toward the
Guerrero mountains, southwest OF
NumiQuipa.

Congress Amends Bill
Increasing Army $4,000

Washington, March 2l.-Passage be-
fore adjournment of the Hay and Till
man military bills in the house and
senate was the hope of leaders today.
A final vote on the armor plate
measure this afternoon is certain. Vot-
ing ON the amendments begins at four
p. m.
Disposition of Representative Hay S
army increase bill is rather more doubt
full. There is chance that work on
it may be completed today, but it is
considered more probable the vote will
be taken Thursday, as it will not be
considered tomorrow.
Senators Penrose and Oliver were
expected to make their final stand
against Tillman's measure this after
noon.
Representative Gardner and other adj
vocates of preparedness plan to amend
Hay IS army bill, doubling its light and
heavy artillery provisions. There will
also be debate on its proposal to place
the state militia under federal super
vision.
