Poli's.

The Prodigal Son. born Of Scripture
5000 years ago. is SO brother-kin to
the present day sower of wild oats
that THE Wanderer" presented at
Polls last night with all the spectac-
ular glamour the parable permits. and
also with a story of the primrose
path Of today.
The biblical drama, written by
Maurice v. Samuels. and produced
by Messrs. Elliott. Comstock and
Gest, assisted by David Belasco, has
for its opening act the house of
Jesse midst the hills of Judea. Fred
erick Lewis, as Jether, the younger
of the two sons of the patriarch,
who takes his share OF his fathers
wealth and adventures into the world
with an evil companion, invests the
text prodigal with a human person
atty which conveys understanding
and, in measure, compels sympathy
with his longing for world-freedom
and all that wor1d-freedom means.
allied splendor in which dancing
girls, sensuous music. soft cushions
and love-tinted lights give some-
what gasping revealment as to just
how the prodigal spent his substance,
there is a vampirish young person
Woolridge-whose Turing of Jethra to
deny his God and drink libation to
Venus means harder work than the
ensnaring of a later-on sea captain
who buys two dancing girls to take
voyai,inf with him-"in case one of
them might die"
The final act shows the return OF
the prodigal, the passionate protest
OF the ploddingly virtuous elder
brother Orchard Thornton), the well
come of the mother, which. except
that she looks too young for the part,
is played by Florence Auer with a
woman of her day which challenges
comparison with the originator of the
character, Nance O'Neil, and the CALL
ing together of shepherds and hand
maids by the patriarch, who voices
the biblical command to kill the
fatted calf" since "he who was lost
is found" etc. AS a concession to
dramatic fitness the stubborn older
BROTHER is made to realize that re-
pentance atones for sin, which gives
the story its happy ending.
The stately fmpressiveness of era
and subject is maintained in speech
and custume and the scenic glimpses
Of the Holy Land harmonic with
ones conception Of the country. Hen
ry Duggan as Jesse. the patriarch;
panion: Olga Newton. as Naomi, the
girl who loved and waited. completed
the cast of principals, and many
shepherds. dancing girls and gam
blers made up colorful backgrounds
while the music kept tune to the .spir-
it of a theme which is as old as the
world.

OREGON HENS ARE AGAIN
BREAKING ALL RECORDS

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Oct. 30.-Oregon has again
gone over the top.
The Oregons entered by Prof.
James Dryden of the College IN the
international egg laying contest at
Storrs, Conn, have broken record.
No pen in the last five years has
laid as many eggs in So weeks as
have the Oregons in so weeks. The
record for these birds is 2,278 eggs
for the so weeks. The record for a
year, 2,265 eggs, was held by Obid
G. Wright. The Oregons have laid
an average of 227.S eggs in so
weeks. Professor Dryden's birds, to
make long story short, have beaten
500 pens Of 5000 hens representing
the best layers in the United States
and foreign countries. They are
now III eggs ahead Of the second
pen and have cinched the contest
which will close the end of the
month.

Dear Folks:

With work as rushing as 1t is and
my hours of rest so split up and the
never ending excitement OF the
wind up" as we all hope and pray
that 1t is, have neglected my duty
to you at home. However am
still alive and kicking and expect to
be for some time to come. I've seen
some mighty interesting things hap
pen over here in the last two months
and l can fully realize now what
Sherman meant when he gave his
description OF war. For my own
part and that Of my company, I will
say that we have been particularly
blessed in good fortune. While We
have undergone many more hard
ships than the men in the interior OF
France, still We have not had to un-
dergo the supreme hardship OF the
man in the front lines. All the hon
or and glory and praise that can be
heaped on the infantry boys will
not be too much.
We have had the pleasure OF being
OF real aid to them in making pass
able and maintaining she'll and mine
torn roads, so that the boys could
have the necessary artillery support
and rations. The magnitude Of oper-
ations behind the lines in this mo-
dern warfare is something not easily
imaginable, and the tremendous
wear and tear on roads is something
never realized before. had come
to think that Uncle Sam had pos

DR.. SMITH GIVES VIEWS
. ON ROGUE RIVER FISHING
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Should the rights OF the people
residing along the Rogue river at
least be as vital to the people OF Ore
gon as that of Mr.. MacCleay."
wonder where the motive power
came from that induced the board
of directors of the Portland Cham
Der of Commerce to pass resolutions
advocating the defeat of the Rogue
River Fish Bill, that would break
up a monopoly of fishing in river
held by MacCleay, If the fish OF
Rogue river were created for the
sole exploitation by wealthy cor
poration, we, the people residing
along the stream should like to
know it, as there are still people llv-
ing that are foolish enough to think
the common people who have built
homes and schools and roads along
the Rogue river in Jackson, Jose
phine and Curry counties, should be
at least accorded the same rights as
Mr.. MacCleay, which they would
have IL this bill he seeks to defeat
should become a law. Mr.. Hume
who owned the property at the
mouth of Rogue river and built up
the fisheries now owned by Mac
Cleay, | am creditably informed,
never took more than 10000 cases
in any one year. Instead Of trying
to deplete the river OF its fish he
tried to perpetuate them by main
tanning hatcheries. What is the con-
dition at this time during the years
of 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, If
reports are true, and | have every
reason to believe that they are, there
has been packed at the mouth Of the
river more than $4,000 cases per
year for the years mentioned, and in
proportion of 10000 cases for Mac
Cleay to 5000 cases by all others,
this unjust proportion being the re-
suit of his being able to monopolize
all set nets and seines on account Of
awning both banks Of the river FOR
IL miles.
To maintain this monopoly for
MacCleay the board Of directors Of
the Portland Chamber Of Commerce
asks the people to defeat the bill
passed by the legislature in 1917
that gives the MacCleay's the same
rights as other people and all the
rights he is Justly entitled to have
and would prevent the determination
Of the fishing industry, as is rapid
ly being done at the present time.
The board of directors Of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce II they
know these facts when they passed
those resolutions must be very brave
and honest men. J. G. SMITH.
