A Corner in Wheat

"a CORNER IN WHEAT biography
Calling at the Biograph Studio one
day few weeks ago, we found the
Office entrance barricaded 'by sacks of
wheat-tons of it-stacked up almost
to the ceiling and filling the spacious
hallway. we jolSingly inquired If the
Biograph Company was trying to cor.
ner the whea mtarket as well as the
film market We were told that they
had not onyl tried but had succeeded
In cornering all the available grain In
the New York market at that time.
Not the visionary options that are Jug
geld in Wall Street, but the actual
commodity It did not require a Sher;
lock Holmes intuition to arrive at the
cnclusion that this car load OF the
stan t life" was destined to appear
as one of the props" in coming
Biograph drama. On December 18th
the picture.lovlng public will see how
the Biograph Company utilized this
great mas OF grain as the setting for
draamtic climax to what Is perhaps
the most impressive. Of any OF their
soul.stirring dramas.
Back to nature, to the honest toll
and s:13plc life CT the farmer. we go
for the beginning of this story, every
scene OF which is picture. The SOW
nrs at work In the field, the care and
the gathering OF the grain, the wear
led and anxious afrmer who has to ac-
cept whatever price Is offered him by
the great Wheat King. We are shown
hits demon of Inoder ntime gambling
in the Exchange with options repre-.
senting hits prbdutc OF honest labor.
we are shown glimpses Of hte misery
of the poor who cannot afford the
prices asked for bread. The price OF
flour is held ut the top notch, while
oceans OF wheat rae stored in the
grain elevators. Finally we see the
Wheat King in the midst OF his glory.
buried under an avalanche Of the very
commodity with which he has so sor-
didly juggled IA dramatic ending to
powerful object lesson.

GOVERNMENT MAY REVOKE
LUCKY BOY TIMBER TITLES

LUCKYBOY, New, Sept. 15.-Attor'
ney Frank Hall of Carson, who is an
assistant under the attorney general
of the United States, has agreed to take
up the ease of the locators of mining
claims on the patented ground Of the
Southern Development company in the
Luckyboy mining district, and it is
possible that the government will file
suit therefor at once ON the grounds
of fraud.
The Record has contended from the
start that it was a certainty that the
United States would make a fight for
the block of ground which the Southern
Development company had gobbled up
in lieu of the 1886 section act, the
grant of which was specified by the
national congress that it was to be
non-mineral ground and which the state
of Nevada also required a sworn afi-
davit to be made in locating the same
that there was known to be no mineral
theron. The truth of the matter is, that
the two mining districts o~verlapped
their ground at the time and there are
citizens living now who protested
against this ground being located for
timber and water in those days.
The case of this company against
