OF Blame For Wreck

Portland Telegram: Responsible
ity for the collision of two locomo-
tives in the Southern Pacific yards

cursionists back to Grants Pass from
Montague, CAL, resulting in slight in
Juries to eighteen passengers and six
employees, abs been fixed by board

eral offices in this city. The main
responsibility is laid to Engineer w.
F. Long of the excursion train in fail
ing to comply with instructions.

censured for permitting engine 1922
to go onto main line from round
house track in face of the oncoming

protection, and Engineer Bowers of
local 2347 is also blamed for not TAX
ing similar protection before coming
onto main line from a switch in op-

Great Railroad
Film at Vining

"Rule e." the greatest railroad
picture ever produced, will be shown
at the Vining next Friday. The
scenario for this picture was written
by Rufus Steele, who is well known
throughout the country as a writer
for the Saturday Evening Post, Sun
set and other magazines. Mr.. Steele
has been in Ashland several times
and is a great booster for this city.
Superintendent Metcalf and other
railroad officials have been invited
! to come to Ashland to see this pic
ture and will do so if circumstances
permit.
Some idea of the impression the
railroads themselves received from
the picture, which demonstrates that
booze and train operation cannot run
tandem, may be gathered from the
fact that it has been indorsed by
every railroad in the country. More
over, in one scene seven railroad Of
ficials, not one Of whom receives
salary of less than 100000 a year,
pose in person as the American Rail-
way Association, adopting Rule G.
The picture was taken entirely on
Southern Pacific property. Five hun
dred railroad men, all employees of
the S. p, participated, number of
whom run into Ashland.
"Rule G" is said to have cost over
100000 in filming.
This great picture will be shown
at the Vining Theatre one night, Fri
day, July 8.
Says the Railway Employees Maga-
zine OF Rule G.:
There has just been completed in
the region around San Francisco bay
a motion picture which, for several
interesting reasons, may prove to be
the most remarkable of its kind. The
Blazon Film Producing Company has
succeeded, apparently, in doing some
thing never done before-in depict
ing railroad life, train operation and
train accidents as they actually are.
Rule G" is the name of a photo
drama made in five reels. Several
hundred railroad workers are con-
cerned in one way and another with
the production of the picture"

BULLETS ARE TRICKY.
One Chance Shot That Brought Down
Three English officers.

One Chance Snot NAT brought DoWn
Three English officers.
II has been truly said that once you
fire A bullet from a modern rife no one
can forecast where ii will ultimately
come TO rest. Even when bullet has
an uninterrupted course 1t Is capable
of upsetting all known calculations of
its fight and range.
Before the battle of 0mdurman a
sick officer was carried across the Nile
and placed under an awning no less
than $500 yards from the nearest
point of possible fire. This should cas-
lily have insured him margin OF safe
~, but it didn't. A stray bullet ate up
the intervening three miles OF desert
air. struck him in the head and killed
him.
Shortly before another battle in the
Sudan General Sir Archibald Hunter,
Colonel Hacket.Thompson, G. b., and
another officer were reconnoitering
through an opening In the wall OF Il
disused sakieh, or waterwheel. The
hole in the wall was so small that the
officers had TO stand one behind the
other to see anything.
The officer, whose name is not given
iu the incident, was in front using a
pair of binoculars, while Sir Archibald
Hunter was in the rear. The CLINT
caused by the setting sun shining on
the glass OF the binoculars attracted
the attention of a dervish. who, with
Others, was retiring along the Nile.
He stopped, took rapid aim and fred.
1t was very good chance shot. for
It sped through one of the lenses Of the
binoculars, through the brain OF the
officer holding them. killing him on the
spot, through the shoulder OF Colonel
Hacket.Thompson and finally lodged
in the breast OF Sir Archibald Hunter,
where II remains to this day.-London

THE HOUSE OF SORROW.
Those Who Have Dwet Therein Have
Learned a Lasting Lesson.

Those VINO Have DWelt lherein rave
Learned Lasting Lesson.
They that have experienced great
sorrow are born again The world
they are now in is quite different from
their old world. In that earlier world
they lived upon terms of household
familiarity With Joy and felicity. Now
they must lie down by the side of sor-
row and eat with sorrow beside them
at the board. Outward things may as
serr their identity to eye. to ear, to
touch, but outward things cannot de-
ceive the spirit within. The house OF
sorrow is strange. all Its furniture Is
strange. and the newcomer must learn
anew how TO live.
The first lesson is to accept the past
as beautiful day that is done. az the
loneliness OF a rose that has withered
away. The object OF our yearning
has passed from the world Of actual
contacts into the world OF art. Mem.
Ory may palnt tne picture as II VIII,
drop out all shadows and catch the
beauty of our exquisite less in all the
golden glow OF human happiness.
There, within the shrine prepared by
sorrow. that picture will ever refresh
us and bless us. Evil cannot touch 1t.
nor Ill will, nor envy, nor sordid care.
Only our own faithfulness, our own
acceptance of unworthy things, can
stain the freshness Of its beauty. Sor-
row has constituted us the sacristans
OF this shrine; on MS rests the care OF
this pictured relic. and unless we sui
fer notes and beams to get IN our
eyes 1t will remain as bright In the
sanctuary Of memory as In the sun
shine Of earthly life.-Atlantic.
