Given the Combination of a gripping
story told in graphic fashion by one Of
the leading writer's of fiction Of the
day and the projection on the screen
Of this story in such detail that those
who have read the novel are enthu-
siastic over the achievement and splen-
did entertainment Is assured.
Such is Jack London's authenticated
version of that gripping tale of the
deep seas, "The Sea Wolf" which will
be presented at the Isis for three days,
beginning tomorrow. To those who
have read this compelling story Of the
human passions the presentation of
the seven reels will be looked forward
to with deep and abiding interest for
few dramatized novels afford such OPP
portunities. Throughout the photo
drama is a wonderful achievement in
motion picture photography 1t would
be hard to estimate the difficulties
that were encountered and the expense
involved in the production which lends
itself in so marked a degree to stirring
scenes on land and sea-and some
times in the water.
To outline the story of THE Sea
Wolf is hardly necessary. 1t is one
of the most frequently read books of
present day fiction as the copies of
Jack London's masterpiece in the To-
cal public library testify in the form
Of we'll thumbed pages.
When this picture was presented at
the Utah theater Salt Lake, last week
for the first time in the west, the crit
les on the four daily newspapers ac-
corded 1t warm praise, in fact. II
were enthusiastic. 1t was heralded as
the best photodramatization of any
novel to date.

HEADQUARTERSOF
THE STAGE LINES
TO Be REMOVED
Post Office Department Is
Having Trouble Getting
Anyone to Accept the Mail
Carrying Contract.
(staff correspondence)

Vale July All stage line head
quarters now in Vale will be removed
to Juntura, Ore, July l, provided the
post office department at Washington
is successful by that time in making
new contracts for carrying mail and
parcel post matter over the stage routes
now running out OF Vale. All the old
mail contracts over these stage lines
expire June 80. If new mail contracts
are not made for these routes by July
/, then the present Vale stage head
quarters may remain here six more
months, or until such time as new mail
4 contracts shall have been made.
1t is understood the post office de-
partment is experiencing much diff
Guilty in the west in getting proper bids
for carrying mail and parcel post over
mountain routes. Mail contractors in
the mountain regions of the west are
showing no eagerness to renew or make
new mail contracts In those cases
where they are submitting bids for
new mail contracts, their bids are made
very high as compared with former
bids submitted by them. This is due
to the vast increase in the amount OF
mail they are made to carry since the
parcel post law mas gone INTO eIIeot.
Two Stage Lines.
There now are two stage lines run
ming out of Vale. One is the Vale
Burns line, the other is the Vale Skull
Springs line. Both are to be
removed from Vale to Juntura July 1
Juntura is the present terminus of the
new Oregon & Eastern railroad being
extended from Vale west through the
famous Malheur canyon. Juntura Is Ct
miles southwest Of Vale.
The Vale-Burns stage line is owned
by r. ]. McKinnon & Son, of Burns
c. A. Powell is in charge of their Vale
headquarters
The Vale Skull Springs Alberson line
is owned by Smith & Cole of Vale.
Mail for both these lines. beginning
with July /, is TO be sent by rail to Jun
tura, from there it will be handled by
the stage lines. This change will make
quite an improvement for all the int.
rior points served by these two stag,
lines. because they win get their mai
many hours sooner than is possible un.
der the present service.
Farthest Place From r. r. in U. s.
At the present time with the pres
ent mail service, the town Of Burns. tn,
thriving county seat of Harvey county
is the farthest interior point in the
United States. Burns is 1873 miles from
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1914-07-01

Vale Under the present mail service
for Burns, the stage carrying mail
leaves Vale at noon and arrives in
Burns at o'clock the next afternoon,
Is hours later. The Twentieth Century
Limited delivers mail from Chicago to
New York in the same length of time
IS hours.
In making the trip by stage from
Vale to Burns, the stage goes over three
mountains-the Ben Deer, the Agency
and the Stinkenwater mountains. 1t
is long, hard climb over each of them.
Two of these mountains will be avoid
ed and 1t will be necessary for the
Burns stage to cross over only the
Stinkenwater mountain when the stage
headquarters are established at Jun
tura- This mountain is not so long
or steep as either the Ben Deer or
Agency mountains. Hence, when the
change to Juntura is made the patrons
on the stage line between there and
Burns win get their mail many hours
sooner than they do now.
on the other hand, the change OF
headquarters to Juntura will but little
if any facilitate the delivery of mail
on the Skull Springs-Alberson route II
is understood this Is due to very poor
and winding roads from Juntura tc
Skull Springs and Alberson. Perhaps
these roads will be improved after the
stage line gets into operation.
Before the railroad reached Vale
these two stage lines started at On
tario, which is 16 miles east of Vale
The advent of the railroad in Malheu1
county is bringing about many changes
and is either putting stage routes and
freighters out of business, or greatly
reducing them.

The New Boz.

For today and tomorrow the big fea-
ture at the New Boz will be THE Wife"
a two part Eclair production, featur-
ing Belle Adair, Alec Francis and Stan
ley Walpole. It is well worth any ones
while to see this play A new situation
will be found-one that will draw out
some speculation and comment. One
will also find the human interest ele-
ment in the story big.
The story the picture tells IS that Of
Holiday, who Is ruined and insists
that his daughter marry Price, a
wealthy man, and give up the man she
loves. Some time later she is dis
covered in the doctors bedroom. She
had gone there at his summons. Price,
believing her false, takes to morphine.
He Is cured by the doctor, who proves
that his suspicious had been incor-
rect. There is a happy reunion at the
end and a better understanding be-
tween the man and THE Wife," whose
sympathy for her husband has changed
to something else.
Uncle Sam In Mexico" another
number of the bill, is by Victor. This
is purely descriptive number, show
lIlB scenes III Mexico, particularly III
the vicinity of Vera Cruz. This is a
live series of views, though no actual
fighting occurs. It gives a good idea
of conditions in Mexico at present.
The laughs in the bill are furnished
by Bob Leonard in THE Boob Detec-
tive" produced by the Rex company.
1t is a story Of a country youth who
goes to the big city and plays detec-
tive, and it is all very funny.
