THE CHRISTIAN" TO
BE SHOWN OCT. II

The Empress Theatre announces
the Vitagraph production Of Hall
Gaines superb love story, "The
Christian" which will be produced
Thursday, October 21.
''The Christian" is the best story
ever written by Hall Caine. AS a
novel, it gained international fame
and as a drama, it brought fame to
Miss Viola Allen, who appeared in
it's star part for eight consecutive
years. 1t is a dramatic master
piece even for a theatre, where it
was physically impossible to present
many of the important scenes. These
same scenes have been utilized in the
picture, and the useless dialogue all
eliminated with the result that "The
Christian" in its picture form is moth
ing less than the vital points of the
exceptional literary masterpiece,
beautifully photographed and pro-
duced by the worlds foremost mo-
tion picture concern. The Vitagraph
company which in itself, is a guar
antee of the best that is possible in
a photoplay. Such a story as "The
Christian" in the hands of the Vita
graph company assures one of an ex-
ceptional motion picture classic. The
universal commendation received by
"The Christian" proves this value of
the offering.
Never before has the Vitagraph
company or any other company used
SO many picture stars in one produc-
tion. AS a novel and later as a play
"The Christian" became such a
tremendous vogue that a recital of
its superb story is superhuous.
exceptional merit the price has been
kept within the reach of all. See
the adv. on last page for prices and
time Of starting.

COMMON COUNCIL
URGE MORE SPEED
ON PAVING WORK
WILL MEET CONTRAC-
TOR THIS WEDNESDAY TO
GO OVER SITUATION
Ed KNAPP WANTS GRADE
ESTABLISHED PAST LOT
City Scales May Be Placed in Depot
Street Near Hitching Yard; Will
Place Man in Charge

At the meeting of the common
council Tuesday evening Alderman
Olds took the chair as mayor pro tenn
in the absence of Mayor Hall.
Superintendent J. A. Langston and
Fred l.. Warner appeared as a COM
mittee from the local Y. NJ. c. A. or
ganiZation and asked the council for
a room in the city hall, preferably a
basement room, to be used for Y NJ.
c. A. purposes. The council took the
matter under advisement for a few
minutes and then agreed TO confer in
dividually with K. f. Cook, custodian
of the hall, and see if a room could
be procured. 1t was thought very
probable that arrangements could be
made for room.
Ed. Knapp, living on Kenwood
avenue, appeared and asked the coun-
Gil to establish a street grade past
his property so that he could build a
retaining wall and grade his lots. The
matter was referred to the street COM
mittee with instructions TO report
their findings at the next meeting.
The street committee brought in a
report on the city scales question to
the effect that they could not be con-
veniently located at the foot of Pleas
ant street. They then recommended
that the scales be placed in West De-
pot street about midway of the lots
now used for hitching purposes, and
that a suitable building be provided
for housing the scales with an office
for a weighmaster. The committee
also recommended that weighmaster
be hired whose duty it would be to
tend the scales and also to become
caretaker of farmers teams. On vote
of the council the whole matter was
left to the street committee with pow
er to make the suggested improve
ments. The application of Neven
Lloyd for appointment as city weigh
master in charge of the municipal
scales was received. The application
was ordered placed on file.
While no official action was taken
considerable discussion was had rela-
tive to the speed at which the paving
work is progressing. 1t was the COM
mon opinion among the council mem
bers and citizens present that the con-
tractors were losing too much good
time in the best of weather. At the
suggestion of r. ii. Hall, president of
the board of commerce, John Finan,
engineer in charge of the paving was
called upon to express his ideas on
the matter He stated that the work
was undoubtedly moving much too
slow and also that he had talked re-
peatedly with Contractor Prange
about it,
In an effort to stimulate the action
the council as a body will meet Mr..
Prange when he alights from the
train this Wednesday afternoon and
go into the matter with vehemence
and see that the work is pushed.

BUSINESS MEN MET
COUNCIL FRIDAY;
TALKED LIGHTING
MEN PRESENT FAVORED HAV-
ING POLES FOLLOW THE LINE
OF THE CURB
MEN ASK FOR PLACING
OF SIGNAL LIGHT WIRES
Expense Is Slight and Time Might
Come When Signals Would
Be Required

In the absence of Mayor Hall and
also of Mayor (pro tenn Olds at last
Fridays council meeting Alderman
Price was elected by that body mayor
pro tenn for the evening. After roll
call and the reading Of the minutes,
Mr.. Price asked to hear from some of
the large body of business men that
were in attendance to present the
cause of lighting the business streets
with boulevard lights when the paw
ing work is completed
President r. II. Hall, of the board
OF commerce, acted as spokesman in
the beginning and explained the pur-
pose of the mems visit to the council
meeting. Some of the men favored
the placing of the poles in a straight
line, disregarding the curb line, while
others favored following the line of
the curb in all cases. After liberal
discussion of both plans a vote was
taken of the men present and large
majority favored following the curb
line. The kind of poles to be erected
was not discussed extensively as it
was found that the cables that had
been authorized by the council at
previous meeting was of the single
unit type and hence would take the
single light pole similar to the one
that formerly stood in front of the
post Office. Plans were discussed
whereby the poles might be placed
Immediately following the completion
of the paving. 1t is hoped and believ-
ed that some plan will be evolved
even if it becomes necessary to raise
some money by popular subscription.
All of the men present at the meeting
as well as the council members heart
lily approved putting the poles in and
completing the job if possible. They
were Of the opinion that in the con-
struction of a large municipal job of
this kind that the city or individuals
should not stop at the expense of only
a few hundred dollars, and not COM
plete it in a manner that everyone
would know that it was completed.
Since the cable will be laid and in fact
is being laid now it remains only to
buy and set the poles to complete the
work.
Some mention was also made at the
meeting about laying light cables to
the center of the street intersections
along Main street to be used for sig
nal lights should they ever be wanted
or ordered put in. In the opinion of
many lHlS WouIu De Dut d HOIhlldI eA-
pense and might possibly obviate the
tearing up Of the paving at later
time to install them, should it become
necessary. No definite action was
taken on the matter by the council.
Board of commerce members also
discussed the advisability of providing
some way for farmers to hitch their
teams along the streets while trad
ing in the city. 1t was maintained
that while few teams would probably
be hitched anlog the streets, yet it
should be possible for the farmers
to secure them to proper racks, when
it became necessary at any time. No
action was taken on this matter
After allowing the city and water
works bills the council adjourned un-
til Tuesday evening.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
ELEVEN DEFEATED
PORTLAND 50 TO 0
MOON AND SPICER EACH STAR
WITH LONG RUNS FOR
TOUCHDOWNS

The local high school football team
defeated the Portland team on Leon
ard Park last Saturday 52 to in one
of the incest and cleanest games ever
played by two schools. The locals
line had been strengthened and ably
held all attempts to break it up. They
put up good interference on the end
plays and plugged the line for big
gains.
The first touchdown was made
within three minutes of the begin
ming of the game and goals contin-
ued to become visable almost as of
ten thereafter. Moon made a feature
play when he enveloped the ball,
broke through his opponents, and
sprinted away eighty-five yards to
the goal. Spicer also made a nice
recovery of the ball on a tumble and
successfully evaded tackles for a thir-
ty-five yard goal run.
Saturdays game was the last one
of the season to be played on the
local grounds. The team will go to
Portland Thanksgiving day to meet
the same team.

Of MAKING
COMMERCIAL GAS
VERY INTERESTING
FEW PEOPLE REALIZE THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE SYSTEM
THAT PROVIDES GAS

Hundreds of people living in Beld-
ing are ignorant of the work and care
used in the manufacture of the gas
they use each day. While the Beld-
ing Gas Works plant is not so large
as those used in the big cities, yet the
processes of manufacture are sub
stantially the same. By the addition
of more units, or larger units the
local plant could be made as large as
any. How is gas made? Why that's
easy. Everybody knows that. It's
made from coal of course. They
just take the coal and, ,-er-well, it's
made from coal anyway.
Gas is made from coal all right, but
it requires the use of other mater
ials such as water, and iron oxide to
purify it. The real intricate and
eXacting part of the work comes in
the subsequent processes that mark
it's passage from the retorts to the
holders. Gas making is an exacting
science. 1t must be clean, it must
have a uniform temperature in all
a certain ratio of heat units and can
die power. The supply must be con-
stant.
ne IildhlllS VI gas Is dIl lllIlCdIC
trick and one must see it made and
have it explained to appreciate the
process. But few take the time or
trouble to visit the plant and hence
the public generally know more about
the making Of electricity than of gas.
The base of all gas used here is
coal. And right here is the first diff
fculty. There are only few grades
Of coal that are fitted for the manu-
facture of gas.
The coal is brought to the "bran-
ches" where it is thrown into long
narrow coke ovens called "retorts.
The retorts are situated in parallel
rows similar to the flues in a boiler,
one above the other and two in a row.
One end of these fues is provided
with a door, which closes and is seal
ed by the tar products that later
come from the coal Below this SER
les Of retorts, each Of which will hold
about three hundred pounds of coal,
is an open frepot in which a heavy
and fast fire is kept burning. This
fierce fire heats the coal in the retorts.
This first liquifies the gas, tar, ETC.,
and it Theoretically seals the doors.
The liquifed products move off in a
dense black, smoky vapor which is
led up through pipes to what is
known as the hydraulic main. In
