Liberty Lists Week
of Fast Comedies
Local Young Man Promoted
to Managership of Show
house Hire


Laughs in ample quantities
will be the feature of the week
judging from the three rollicking
comedy pictures slated for show
ing at the Liberty Theatre. With
"Anybody's War;" featuring Nor
an and Mack, the Two Black
Crows, Animal Crackers" with
the Four Marx Brothers, and
"Leathernecking" with an all
comedy cast, come the three big
gest comedy attractions of the
season, according to Clarence Oh
brich, who was recently promoted
to manager of the Liberty, Milton
Wight having taken the Pasco
house.
Moran and Mack, more widely
known as the Two Black Crows,
are probably the best known
blacKface comedy team of the day,
having broadcasted over radio
networks; recorded for Brunswick
monograph records, and made the
recent picture "Why Bring That
Up" "Anybody's War" has been
taken from the novel "The Two
Black Crows in the A. E. F." writ
ten by Charlie Mack Of Moran and
Mack, and features the two coined
ians in story dealing with the
humorous side Of the last war.
"Anybody's War" plays Friday
and Saturday.
animal Crackers" starring the
-Four, Marx Brothers, which opens
Sunday at the Liberty, will un-
doubtedly recall the first Marx
Brothers picture. Lillian Roth and
a supporting cast of stage players
who enacted their same roles in the
New York stage presentation of
Animal Crackers" will support
the Marx Brothers in what critics
say will be the outstanding comedy
of the year.
Leathernecking," which opens
in Kennewick Tuesday for three
days, has a cast of the seasons
best comedians, including Benny
Rubin, Eddie Foy, Jr., Ned Sparks,
Lillian Tashman, and Ken Murray.
This picture has not as yet re-
ceived its scheduled fame since it
is being shown in Kennewick just
two days following the date of its
national release. The story con-
tains the light comedy drama of
U. S. Marines in the South Seas
and promises to be fitting climax
to the week of the seasons best
comedy pictures.

Further Columbia
Report is Issued
Huge Amount of Freight
is Available According
to Traffic Survey

Preliminary figures show that
potential tonnage in the Column
bia and Snake river territory, con-
sidered available for possible navi-
CATION on these two rivers, will run
about 100000 tons, a report of
the Columbia Valley association is
sued today in Portland shows. The
report has been prepared during
the last eight months by the asso-
citation working in conjunction with
the u. S. Army engineers and the
business research department Of
the University of Oregon.
/, The preliminary traffic survey
was made to secure information
on which to base possible naviga-
ton on the rivers prior to the
time of the final report of the en-
gineers which is expected to be
ready by July 1, 1881. The pre-
iminary report has only consid-
cred the questionnaires signed by
shippers where they were in po-
sition to use the river now and
where they were ready to offer a
definite tonnage to the boats.
The first section of this prelim-
mary report up as far as The
Dalles, includes Hood River, White
Salmon and Lyle, shows a total
tonnage of about 10000 tons avail
able for boats as far at The Dali
les. To this has since been added
the same information covering the
same commodities from the dis
tricts of Moro, Wasco, Arlington,
Pendleton, Stanfield, Hermiston,
Irrigon, Echo, Free-water and Mil
ton in Oregon and from Golden
dale, Centerville, Maryhill, Walla
Walla, Wheat Rock, Sundale,
Roosevelt, Alderdale, Pasco, Ken
newick, Hanford and Pomeroy in
Washington as well as from Lewis
ton, Idaho.
A recapitulation of the commod-
tiles and tonnage of ali these dis
tricts from Portland to Lewiston,
taken from the questionnaires an
swered by 460 shippers, shows
total tonnage up river of $3.50
tons and total down river Of
285,136 tons. Among the larger
items shipped up are lumber and
shingles, groceries, sugar and salt,
hardware, iron and plumbing sup
plies and general merchandise.
The largest down river tonnage
would be of flour and feed, fruit
and vegetables, wheat and hay.
