game matters with representatives Of
the California commission, Frank New
bert of Sacramento. chairman of the
California board Mr. Neil, chief Of the
California PATROL and f. W. Hunt, as
sistant superintendent of hateheries
being the members.
The representatives of the two neigh
Aoring states discussed many matters
If mutual interest, among them being
the discrepancy in the open seasons.
and the best way to remedy them. The
open season in California being much
earlier than in Nevada, certain persons
have taken advantage of this fact 30
Reat the Nevada law by catching fish,
landing their boats on the California
side. and shipping their catch to the
markets As the spawning season does
not close until June. this early breaking
'nto the game is not good for the fishing
game. the fish when spawning not being
% good to eat, and the Nevada fisher
men are at just that much disadvan-
tage, to boot. 1t is proposed TO try aud
have the law made the same in both
states.
Also, the matter of establishing places
n Nevada where game may not be shot

set anart as an asylum for game birds
IN California the law is such that any
person having control Of a piece Of

ties, have it declared immune from gun

similar law, and it is proposed to asl
the next session Of the legislature t.
pass similar law in Nevada.
There is a discrepancy also in I'll
license laws of the two states. In Ca

STORY IN
BIRTH OF A NATION

One of the most effective minor
scenes in "The Birth of a Nation, -

girl, a picture she had given her bro

hands.
Soothed by her kindness, Ben makes
a rapid recovery. In the second half of
the story, the scene of which shifts to
South Carolina, they are sweethearts in
the dread time Of the second uprising.
To portray the fine flower Of northern
womanhood throughout the whole
troublous era is the task of Miss Lii
lian Gish as Elsie Stoneman in this
play.
Miss Gish is of the "golden aureole +"
blonde type which makes for photo
graphic beauty. She is singularly grace
full, and her features never lose thair
piquancy in indoor or outdoor scenes
The eyes, before the camera, are m

SYLVESTER ALONG
With CHAUTAUQUA

One of the foremost figures to com
mand public recognition of the Chautau-
qua platform as the peoples forum, is
Sylvester A. Long-noted scholar, au-
thor, orator and educator. He is presi-
dent of the International Lyceum asso-
citation, of which great body he is u
chief support and ornament. Mr.. Long
has done much to impress upon the pub
lie mind the Importance of candid dis
cussion of the epochal problems which
confront us at the present time. He will
deliver at the Chautaqua, his most fa-
nous lecture, excerpts from which have
been widely quoted in the press and
leading periodicals of the country. It
is master address, packed with the
pivotal significance of the contemporary
whirl of events This speech is a gem
of analysis which takes into account
the maelstrom of the nations, at the
same time pointing out the counter
forces at work He sounds the note of
the universal hunger for a practical
and workable idealism and shows
whereby this very sincerity of desire
is slowly but surely moulding events
to this end
Sylvester A. Long is a thinker and
orator of democratic power and appeal.
Vivid. determined, incisive. forceful, he
talks with, not at an audience. His elo-
ouence is the spontaneous glow of his
thought. He takes no rhetorical flights
of embroidered fancy, but rather pins
his aptitude of example to such illus
trations as will fit like steel cut en-
craving. His humor is distinctive, and

BIG BEAR KILLING
CATTLE IN STARR VALLEY

Every spring for the past many years
the ranchers of Starr Valley have lost
many head of cattle from a big bear
that makes its home in the Ruby noun
tains south of the valley. This bear
"holes up' during the winter months
and when it comes out in the spring is
crazy with hunger. When the cattle are
turned out on the range il takes toll OF
the herds until it fattens up, and thi
spring has been the same story Last
week G. II. Black found where one Of
his steers had been killed, and close by
another animal had been partly eaten
by the bear, the brand being that of
John Crosson. There is talk of an or
ganized hunt for the bear by the ranch.

Some of Washington's automobile rae
ing fans are endeavoring to promote a
race meet in this city on Labor Day.
They promise that if they are success
ful in putting it over that they will have
among the entries some of the profess
sional talent that has been furnishing the
thrillers for the public OH the big speed
ways. There have been race meets here
in the past some of them very interest
ing and others not so entertaining. The
last one held on the Bennng track a
year ago. Decoration Day, made money
for the promoters and afforded a good
afternoons sport.
All the trade is on the qui vive right
now, each one anxious to know lust Whar
the other is going to have in the way of
something new to spring for next year.
Also how much the price will be ad-
vanced is another current topic, for it is
universally conceded that most every
manufacturer will be compelled to raise
his price.
The Record Auto Company yesterday
received word from the Saxon Motor Car
Company, who on July l conducted a 300
mile nonstop fuel economy test, that the
gasoline average for the 2O6 machines
which competed was better than TWENTY
three miles to the gallon. The car which
won the silver loving cup averaged
thirty-6ve miles to the gallon
Right now Washington is filed with
tourists. Most every State in the eastern
section of the United States is represent
ed and some bear tags from as far west
as Illinois. True many OF the machines
belong to Elks who are attending the an
nual convention OF the order being held
in Baltimore this week and who have
made the visit to Washington a side trip
Not all are Of this class though. Year bv
year Washington is growing in ponr,a p
ity as an objective point for a motor trin
and there is not the slightest doubt but
what this popularity will be increased
many fold as soon as the road south
from here is completed. Motorists an
route south for the winter will then drive
their cars instead Of shipping them both
