GOOD ROAD ROUTE

SURVEYOR FINDS LIGHT GRADE
UP COURTNEY AND SHAM
ROCK CANYONS.

Surveyor H. E. Merryman. who
assisted by II. c. Cramer, recently
made survey to determine the
best route for road from Troy,
has made the following report:
The conditions in the different
canyon routes with respect to the
cost of construction are found to be
much the same.
The sides are steep and rocky
with slide rock and cliffs which to.
ward the upper ends of the can.
IONS dovetail in from opposite sides

circuitous routes.
There are some places where the
canyons are so narrow that road.
way would have to be blasted out of
solid rock to leave room for the
water course.
The bottoms of the canyons are
narrow and low and filled with
brush, rocks, timber and debris. and
could be used but very little, if at
all, for the roadway on account of
nigh water, SO that it would be nee
sssary to grade the road bed out OF
|. the side of the canyons.
There is not dirt enough in the
canyons to cover the rocks, so that
rough road full of stones for from
10 to 20 miles would not be found
practical.
My average of $500 per mile for
he canyon routes would If anything

INTERVIEW With
PAUL GILMORE
NOTED ACTOR TALKS TO REPORT.
Err CONCERNING HIMSELF
AND HIS NEW PLAY.

Mr.. Paul Gilmor, who is to appear
at tie Grand tonight in the great mil
itnry play, The Boys of Company b.
was met at the station to-day by a
representative of the West yirglnian
and was persuaded to say few words
about himself and his new play. Mr..
Gilmore looks taller and br:ader than

martial air?
81 am very anxious to have YOU en-.
joy Tony Allen, my new part in my
new play, The Boys of Company b."
said Mr.. Gilmore. Tony is a gc.d deal
of scamp and has keen perception
Of the foibles OF his fellows. and plays
COOL naturally upon them, but for
all that, he is possessed of indomita-
BILE courage and an Incredible dlsre-
gard OF pretty much all that the erdi-
nary man works and fights for. His
ideals ane' high and his motives far
from petty, and you will, forgive his
pranks and his flirtahons. for they ar
but the overflow Of highly charged
nature. At heart he is loyal and true.

MOTION PICTURES.

1t is astonishing when, you thinks
back from two to five years when the
moving picture business was more or
less OF a novelty, to realize its exten.
sive proportions to-day: the Associa.
ton Film Exchange represent an In.
vestment of from eight to Ten mil.
lions OF dollars in the United States.
The Edison Company being at thu
head of eight licensed manufacturers
who sell to over three hundred ex-
changes. who rent to thousands of ex.
hibitors throughout the country. The
eight manufacturing companies have
several sets of actors who are talent
ed artists and are kept constantly in
use acting out all kinds Of subjects
and plays to be taken by special pho
tographic machines all over the world.
The various film exchanges rent out
to exhibitors in three classes, first,
second and third, according to prices
paid for service. Some thaaters Change
pictures daily, others twice and three
times during the week, returning
films Immediately after use. First
class service gives the patrons Of a
moving picture house the advantage
of new subjects from one to twenty
days old, second class, from three
weeks to three months cid, third class
all kinds of old stock. more or less
worn out from use anil rented to small
and cheap th6aters. Among the larg.

the long journey home to cast their
