"FANCHON THE CRICKET" .
CRESCENT WEDNESDAY .


Mary Pickford, the worlds foremost
motion picture star, is utterly fasci-
mating in the role of Fanchon, a mis-
chievous imp of girl, the scorn and
by-word of the village, who, under the
subtle influence of love, gradually de-
velops a goodness Of disposition and
general bent toward virtuous prin-
ciples whereby she eventually gains
the heart of the man she loves, and
triumphs gloriously over the envy,
hatred and uncharitablenes of the
rustic community of which she had
been despised and rejected member.
There is naturalness about her por-
trayal-a sparkling, quaint original
ity-that is absolutely irresistible, and
"Fanchon the Cricket" will undoubt-
edly be considered as notable an
achievement as her memorable char
acterization of Tess of the Storm

PLANS B|G WORK TO
 WESTWARD

All is activity at the Seattle pur- chasing headquarters of the Alaska engineering commission. Purchasing Agent C. E. Dole has for some weeks been engaged on the task of making up acquisitions and specifications cov-. ering everything from steel rails to roast beef and hay. Contracts will be awarded for about 15,O0O tons of steel, which amount will cover that portion of the line to be constructed from the end of the Alaska Northern to a connection with the recently con structed line out of Anchorage and from the end of the recently construc- ted line through to the Chickaloon mines. It is expected that contracts will be awarded for the vast quanti- ties of lumber and bridge material. supplies of all kinds for men and ami. mals, additional machinery and equip ment for shops, and in fact various supplies necessary for railroad con struction.
 Two tugs were recently purchased. and after going into drydock at the Puget Sound navy yard for overhaul, they will be sent to Anchorage to take part in the important work of freight lightering and towing from Anchorage to various points on the railroad reached by water. While Anchorage will again be the chief scene of railroad construction activ- ity, the commission plans to send in much material for reconstructing the Alaska Northern, and this work will be pushed from Seward. It has been stated that the commission hopes to have the upper end of the Alaska Northern repaired this coming sum mer so that the entire line can be made serviceable for traffic by gaso- line car. An additional gasoline car will be ordered to handle the large number of workmen who will have to move to the front
 Both Seward and Anchorage will next month be teeming with life and activity owing to the fact that the commission has announced that they will emplay a large number of labor CTS to push the construction work during the year Various steamships operating to those two points are al- ready booking full passenger lists, and the outlook is for much heavier pas senger movement than last year

 On June 14th and July a grand tour excursion will be operated, with the round trip rate of $500, including berth and meals on steamships. This operates from Seattle to Skagway, thence to Dawson and Fairbanks, down the entire length of the Yukon river to St. Michael, returning per the

PRICES OF SHOES GO UP.
Hide Shortage, Population Increase,
Army Shoes and Automo-
biles the Cause.

A side effect of the war that inter
ests every man, woman and child is
the announcement of the fact that
shoes this season must advance in
price. The generally reported scarcity.
OF leather and increased cost of tan
ming, combined with an enormously
increased demand for leather, all ac-
count for the advanced cost of foot
wear. Millions of pairs of shoes for
the European armies have been and
still are being made by American shoe
manufacturers. On the average, these
army shoes consume one and one-half
as much leather as the average Ameri-
can man shoe. Knapsacks, saddles,
harnesses and other material increase
in equipment of the American army
and state militia account for a still
further demand on the none too large
supply Of leather. Munitions plants
have called lfor thousands of feet OF
leather betting and the general picking
of factories wheels and greatly aug
mented the call for betting. Automo-
biles have also made great and in
creasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering. Leath-
er is by-product. The supply cannot
be increased at will as crops and
metals are, but is dependent on the
hide supply; and cattle are not killed,
primarily, for their hides. The latest
census reports show that the cattle
population has decreased twenty per
cent in the last ten years, and the
population has increased the same per-
centage. Shoes, therefore are to be
more expensive. 1t is said that the
increase for the present will be about
twenty per cent but will likely be
more by next fall.

To Keep the Tariff in Politics.


Finding that the business community,
without respect to party, is almost
unanimously in favor of permanent
tariff commission, President Wilson has
caused the introduction in congress of
a bill to establish such body. But
demand is for non-partisan commits
sion on which the two leading parties
would be equally represented, while the
Democratic bill provides for partisan
commission, on which one party would
have a majority. The demand is for a
commission which will ascertain the
facts which congress should know for
its guidance in tariff making. The
Democratic bill establishes a commits
sion which shall investigate the adj
ministration and fiscal effects of Gus
toms laws now in force or to be here
after enacted, the effects of ad valorem
and specific duties, and the operation
and effects of the customs tariff laws,
including their relations to the federal
revenues -
AS Representative Fairchild said in
discussing the bill before the house, a
commission having majority of one
party would be likely to make reports
IN accordance with the majority party s
policy. A report on 'teffects'' would
be an expression of opinion by its max
ers in conformity with the policy of
their party. Under the Tariff Commits
sion Leagues bill the commission would
not recommend rates of duty-that is,
deal with effects-unless requested by
either house of congress or the presi-
dent; it could only report facts. The
Democratic bill requires the commission
to report to the tariff making commit
tees of congress; the leagues bill re-
quires it to report ito the president
and to congress-. In practice the ma
jority of the ways and means commit
tee in the house or of the finance COM
mittee IN the senate does not permit
the minority to share in drafting a
tariff bill. Hence the majority of these
committees would obtain from the ma
jority of the commission report in
favor of the policy favored by their
party, while the minority of the COM
mittee would get an equally partisan
report from the minority of the COM
mission.
The result would be not to take out
of politics the collection of information
on which the tariff must be based, but
to add new wheel to the political ma
chinerys by which the tariff is kept in
politics. Mr.. Fairchild truly said that
this bill is ga step backward rather
than forward" We need no new
wheels on the present machine; we need
intelligent guidance on either track
which the machine may take.-Portland
Oregonian.
