A WOODEN CROSS
FOR PUBLIC SERVICE

A gentleman from Rockford says
there are half dozen bridges and
culverts between Rockford and
Blackfoot that need repairs and no.
body is doing anything on them. He
speaks especially of the bridge over
the Peoples ditch near Dick Hor-
toms place and John Browns. He
says there is a vertical rise of at
least a foot to get on the bridge
from either side, and that it has been
so for year.
We do not vouch for the correct
ness of his estimate of the height,
but we appoint Mr. Brown and Mr..
Horton to examine the bridge and re-
port whether he is a good guesser
or not. While they are making the
examination, perhaps they will have
the goodness of heart to fill it in so
cars can go over on intermediate,
If they will be so good as to do that,
we will make them a present of a
wooden cross-a kind that is worth

CaIifornians Seek
Relief From Jap
Encroach1nents

SAN FRANCISCO.-Prefacing his
appeal for federal protection from
the Entertainments of the japanese
with a detailed outline of the hold
ings of the Nipponese in California,
whlch he traced on a mammoth re-
lief map prepared by the state board
Of control, Governor Stephens OPP
ened a conference with members OF
the congressional immigration and
naturalization committee this after
noon with review of the oriental
problem as it exists in this state.
The committee in attendance, Al
bert Johnson of Washington, Will

Baker of California, were present
ed with printed copies of the state
board of controls report on the
Japanese situation prior to the gov

AS the committee men read the
report and were acquainted with
the enormous holdings of the Japan
ese in California, Stephens pointed
out on the.emap hanging from the
wall in his office the section in
which the problem was most acute.
He summarized the industries which
the Japanese have gained control of
and told of methods employed by
them in the pursuance of their poll

Actual work~will be started here
Monday when the congressional COM
mittee will hold its first hearing.
"It is my desire to have this mat
ter placed clearly before the eastern
members of the committee in partic-
ular," he declared. 1--WE of the west
realize the seriousness of the situa-
ton. l hope that the other congress
men will be here by Monday and if
we find it impossible to study con-
ditions in each county as unit, it
will probably be found advisable to
split the committee into several
smaller bodies, each of which will
be detailed to certain portion of
the state"
The other members of the COM
mittee are Isaac Weigel, New York;
John c. Kleozka, Wisconsin; ]. w.
Taylor, Tennessee; King Swape, Ken
lucky, and John c. Box, Texas.
In his preliminary remarks Gov
ernor Stephens told the committee
that California wants nothing but
complete investigation which will
reveal to congress only the truth in
respect to the oriental menace in
this state.

s.ary Pickford
In "Pollyanna."


:PoIlyanna," the first photoplay
production starring Mary Pickford to
be released by that famous star un-
der her association with d. w. Grif-
nth, Charles Chaplin and Douglas
Fairbanks, will constitute the chief
feature of the program of Loew's Pal
ace Theater for the week beginning
tomorrow afternoon.
"Pollyanna" is an adaptation of the
famous and remarkable story of the
same name by Eleanor II. Porter.
! Miss Pickford, of course, assumes
the role of the glad GIRL" and those
critics of the cinema who have witt
nessed preliminary showings of the
piece declare that Miss Pickford has
incorporated into the film version Of
this story what is undoubtedly the
very finest acting of her career.
In it's narrative form, "Pollyanna"
Is the story of a motherless girl who
originates a philosophy of happiness
that takes its chief outward form in
"glad game" which she plays with
her father. The death of the father,
however, casts the little unfortunate
upon the not-to-tender mercies of an
austere maiden aunt, and for long
and trying period the glad girls"
doctrine or happiness is put to its
severest test. Later, however, the
eyes of the aunt are opened to her
own shortcomings through an acci-
dent to Pollyanna which threatens to
make her a cripple for life. The girls
injuries, however. are healed, and as
she grows toward maturity, tender
romance in Pollyanna's life slowly
reaches it's full development.
The management urges attendance
at morning and early afternoon exhi-
bitions of the picture.

screen attractions will be fully up to

NICK COOLEY PLAYED
JUNGLE tom" In 1854
Veteran Actor Still in Harness and
Appears in the Movies
Now.

An old program recently unearthed,
giving the cast of the first Uncle
Toms Cabin" company to reach the
Pacific coast. revealed the fact that
the Uncle Tom OF that company is
still in theatrical harness. The play
from the widely read novel of Harriet
Beecher Stowe was first presented at
the old Bowery Theater, in New York
city. which, in 1854, was the smartest
played Eliza, Carolina whitlock did
Eva, and Topsy was played by Ger
trude Dawes.
The Uncle Tom OF the piece, Nick
Cogley. Is still living and playing
every day of his still robust life in
screen dramas. His excellent darkey
makeup is famous in professional
circles, In the latest Goldwyn photo
play, "TboyB Bow" starring Tom
Moore, to be seen at Crandalrs
Knickerbocker Theater, beginning
tomorrow, Nick Cogley plays the
part OF Toby, an old Southern color
ed gentleman.
Nick Cogley tells an exciting ex-
perience that happened to the first
Uncle Toms Cabin" company when
II went on tour. In those days there
were no private cars or Pullmans. and
no trains at all out in the middle
West. Theatrical companies Travelled
over the roads in wagons and pitched
their tents In the towns where they
we're to play. we got as far as
Iowa." relates Cogley, when we heard
rumors of hostile Indians. One night
when we were breaking camp at the
edge of the little town, a party OF
Indians appeared on the horizon.
They may have been peaceful enough;
but we had fears of tomahawks and
Fenimore Cooper headhunting saw
ages. Our wagons were packed in a
frenzied rush, and just as we began
to roll away toward Omaha town and
safety, the Indian riders caught up
to the last wagon of our train.
Mrs. G.. c. Howard, playing Topsy
at the time and in the annals of stage
history considered the best Topsy of
them all, and myself were in the last
wagon and so far behind the others
that we were frightened almost to
death. We still wore our dark make
ups, and I suddenly thought OF some
Indian blankets which we had bought
at town some miles bach With
those blankets wrapped about us, and
our darky make-ups, aided by the
dusky night, we looked like Indians
ourselves. The INDIANS took us for
some of their own kind and trotted
away. It was nerve-racking ex-
perience, and New York's Bowery the
aters looked good to me when ] at
length returned East again"
