To be accurate it is incorrect to
say a moving picture when subject

ual pictures placed close together so
they may be caused to move one after

composed of $4,000 miniture pictures
to be magnified to life size Each and
every one of these $4,000 pictures has
been colored by hand in order to show

represented by the original company

The object of the visit is presumab

electric power for Carson valley.
Some time ago the same party paid
Carson valley a visit and it was the
general impression that the valley
would be supplied with lights and pow.
er. There is certainly great field
for the proposed operations and with
it cheap power can be given in a num-

nped to an advantage. The inter
- parties know their business and
from the frequency of their visits
it is likely that the up-country peO
pie will be ablaze with lights in a
