With $50 automobiles owned by
Fargo people and thirty-one of the
leading automobile concerns in the
country to be represented by ten agen-
cies who had contracted for space up
to 2 o'clock this afternoon, it's only
natural that the state fair manage

Two Big Shows in Six Months.
Early in the year and in a setting
resplendent in palatially draped booths
and color combinations, Fargo held it's
automobile show in the Case building
on Northern Pacific avenue. At that
time there were about $50 cars. in the
city. Just six months have passed
and now citizens of Fargo and the
state are to see another great auto
mobile exhibit with q representation
of more than so cars with a total val
uation of about $4,000. 1t will be at
the great North Dakota State fair,
July II to %, inclusive, and will be the
third great attraction from the exhibi-
tors viewpoint, livestock being first
with an aggregate value of $S00,000
and machinery second in the sum Of
$15O,O00.
Many 1917 Models to Be Shown.
Because of the rapid growth of the
automobile industry in the state and
the city in the last ten years, automo-
bile dealers are going to exert them
selves this season in bringing the lat
est models before the public. AS a re-
suit it was stated at the office Of the
secretary of the State Fair association
this afternoon that ten dealers have
already contracted for space and many
more are expected to fall in line be-
fore the doors of the fair open next
Monday morning. Every type Of cal

ster to an electric will be on exhibit.

Isis

"Fate's Boomerang with Mollie
King in the star role, is the attraction
at the Isis today and tomorrow. 1t is
story which appeals to everyone, due
to it's outdoor scenes, it being a pic
ture Of the mountains and forest, and
will really take one to the place in
the picture. There are five stirring
acts, each one made the best through
Mollie Kings brilliant acting, and
through the capable manner in which
she carries her part. The story is a
fascinating romance Of the Blue Ridge
country, a legion Of thrills and a story
of heart interest, being very much on
the order of "Tess of the Storm Coun-
try" which had such a popular run
a few years ago. All who saw and en-
joyed that will enjoy this.
In addition to the picture will be
shown a Ford weekly.

LAKE RESORTERS
MUST GET BUSY
SEC. J. p. HARDY OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB URGES PEOPLE WITH
COTTAGES AT LAKES AND AUTO
OWNERS TO BOOST JEFFERSON
HIGHWAY.

The people of Fargo and this portion
of the state are being urged to send
letters to those in charge Of the final
location of the jefferson highway tell
ing them that they have summer cot
tages at the lakes or spend the great
er part of their summers at the resorts
and urging the establishment Of both
the eastern and western routes.
This letter is being sent out by Sec.
J. P. Hardy of the Fargo Commercial
club who will be present at the meet
ing on July 10 to try to get the route
through Moorhead and Fargo. Mr..
Hardy believes that the only possible
chance to get the route is to ask for
the esta blishment of both the eastern
and western routes of the highway.
Every auto owner in this section of
the country is expected to get busy on
the proposition at once. Every effort
is being made to get a copy of the fol-
lowing letter in the hands of each car
owner:
THE selection of the Jefferson High
way route is to be made on July 10.
wish that you would be kind enough
to write letters to j. H. Beck and
Henry Orme, suggesting to them that
Northwestern Minnesota is our play
ground, and that you own a summer
home in Minnesota on the proposed
route, or that you habitually spend
your summer vacations at some Of the
lakes on the proposed route: that your
trips to Minneapolis and st. Paul
would be more frequent if the route
were designated through to Moorhead.
and finally urging them to make the
selection of both the western and east
ern routes"
Mr. Hardy urges that these letters
be written at once.

CINDERELLATHENE
OF BIG SPECTACLE.
GIGANTIC PRODUCTION OF FA-
VoRlTE FAIRY TALE COMING
WITH RINGLING BROS. CIRCUS;
MORE THAN 1000 PERSONS IN
CAST.

"CinderelIa," a tremendous fairyland
spectacle which tells the story of the
best-lOVed Of all nursery tales, is the
picturesque feature of Ringing Broth
ers' circus program this season. 1t is
said to be the largest and most mag
nificent production of its kind ever
Travelled in America. The particular
subject was selected with the thought
Of making equal appeal to both juve-
nile and adult patrons and the pro-
duCers have realized this aim.
"Cinderella" as presented under the
circus big top" requires a cast of
more than 1000 persons, a vast amount
of scenery, a small trainload of gor-
geOuS costumes and electrical equip
ment, and calls the finest of the Ring
ling horses into action. 1t tells the
Well-knoWn story Of the little lady of
the glass slipper" to the smallest de-
tail The home of "Cinderella," the
streets of the elf1sh kingdom, the pal
ace of the king, the ballroom scenes
and the triumph of the maid OF the
chimney corner" when she claims the
slipper and likewise the prince in mar
riage, are all depicted with faithful
adherence to the best-known versions
of the tale. The most intricate me-
chanical devices are introduced in con-
neCtion with the descent Of the fairies
into Cinderella's home and a large
corps of electricians are required to
handle the lighting effects. The dance
of the fairies," embracing a ballet of
300 dancing girls is but one of the
many wonderful features Of the pro-
duction.
"Cinderella" was given its first pre-
sentation at the Coliseum, Chicago's
great convention building, this spring.
There it formed the feature of re-
markable circus program which was
produced some seventy consecutive
times before immense audiences. The
spectacle and the two hours of arenic
numbers are to be given here Wednes-
day, July 26, exactly as they were pre-
sented in Chicago. The circus acts are
on a par with the great spectacle.
Fully 400 men and women take part in
the arenic numbers. The majority of
these performers are now making their
first appearance in America, for the
great war has required many to seek
engagements in this country. Zin-
garo's gypsy horsemen; Mile. Leitzel,
| the Bohemian marvel aerialist; Birdie
Ford, dancing queen of the high wire;
the famous Lloyd family of equestrians,

remarkable list of artists. An entire

1915 Exhibits to Be Surpassed.
The exhibits of automobiles as
shown by the dealers last year was
considered the best seen at any fair
in the history Of the North Dakota
State Fair association. In point OF
number of cars entered and valuation,
this years exhibit will surpass any,
thing of the kind in the state by at
least $25, 900, which shows the Coop
Grafton that the auto dealers Of the
city are giving the fair management.

.RADIUM-BEARING ORES
FOUND IN CLARK COUNTY

Deposits of carnotite or radium-
bearing ores, exist in Clark county,
according to tests made at the Mackay
school of mines at the University of
Nevada.
By the use of the electroscope in
the Mackay school laboratory tests on
what would appear to the layman as
a yellow spotted red and white sand
stone, developed the fact that radium
must be added to the treasures of the
earth within the confines of the state
of Nevada. The electroscope at the
| University is the only one in the state,
as far as is known. 1t is a very SEN
lsitive, delicate instrument used in de-
termining the content of radio active
ores.
The market price of radium for
some two or three years has been
100000 and up per gram, according
| to its purity. When it is estimated
that a gram is equal to about half a
thimbleful, one is given an idea of the
value of the mineral. At the time of
the beginning of the European war
there were 16 to 20 grams of radium
contracted for abroad. chiefly in Ger
many, at a price above 100000 per
gram.
Radium is used in scientific re-
search and in medicine. Radium
treatment is given by means of baths
in radioactive waters, by drinking ra-
dioactiVe waters, by subjecting pa
tients to the radium emanation, by
doses of the radio emanation arti-
fcially dissolved in water to a much
greater strength than can be obtained
from the natural waters.
Radioactive waters are beneficial in
leases of chronic disorders, rheuma.
tism of the joints and muscles, gout
diabetes, chlorosis, Emphatic disor.
ders, diseases of women and cancer
Direct exposure to the radium rays is
especially recommended for rheuma
tism, neuralgia, stiffness of the bones
joints as well as chronic eczema.
OF the thousands of ore samples
submitted for tests at the Mackay
school of mines at the University dur
! ing the past few months, the one from
! a place near Overton, Clark county
| is of most interest, for ii adds radiun
to the long list of precious metals in
the state of Nevada.

grade, but tests are being made a

to determine practical methods o

NEVADA WILL RAISE 600
VOLUNTEER CAVALRYMEN

To further prepare for the raising
of a volunteer force of 500 cavalry in
Nevada, should President Wilson IA
vor this plan of recruiting a state
force, E. ID. Vanderlieth, Joe Smyth,
George Kitzmeyer. DR.. William j.
Circe, Henry Burlington and Colonel
II. Day of Carson City met in Carson
yesterday with a number of Reno
men, says the Journal.
AS little can be done until word is
received from Washinton, the meeting
did little more than mark time. If
the states offer is accepted. the men
will be recruited as rapidly as possi-
BILE and will be modified at the mo-
bilization site in Carson. which was
selected by the government in 1910.
Captain II. l.. Applewhite, comman-
dant of the University cadets, says
the plan to recruit volunteers was
adopted "a being quicker in getting
results than would an attempt to Gre
ate a state national guard. The
guardsmen would require long train
ing to come up to the requirements
OF the national military authorities.
At a meeting held in Carson last
Monday this question was considered
and ii was decided that probably one
of the greatest needs on the border
would be cavalry. A telegram, offer
ing 600 mounted volunteers from this
state. was sent to President Wilson.
If he concurs in the view taken by
local military men, Congress will be
asked to authorize the President to
call for volunteers from Nevada.
Governor e. d Boyle states he has
had over 200 offers for service under
arms and he believes there would be
no difficulty in getting 600 troopers.

WILL NOT REOPEN
". P. HEARING

II do not see any reason to open
this case. The petition will be de-
MED"
With these words Judge NJ. T. Doo-
ling of the United States District
Court last night ended the hopes of
the Savings Union Bank and Trust
company to prevent the sale of the
Western Pacific railroad. says the San
Francisco Examiner of last Thursday.
The petition was for rehearing of
the previous order of Judge Dooling
fixing $18,000,000 as the minimum for
which the road can be sold next week.
Frank Madison of Pillsbury. Madi-
son & Sutro, spoke for more than an
hour, finally ending with an appeal to
Judge Dooling to fix the minimum at
$50 100000. He claimed that with the
expenditure of 100000 in an exten-
sion to San Jose the earnings could
be raised 100000 annually; that with
the expenditure of about $250.000 for
warehouse facilities at Oakland the
income could be raised by 100000
more; that new traffic relations with
the Burlington and other eastern
roads would raise the income by
5000, 900 more. Then he called atten-
tlOu 10 IuS t6SLliuOuy III the ItdfiiOdu
commission on the application of the
new company to issue its stocks and
bonds, that not any of the securities
represented water. but actual repro
duction value.
II cannot see that this court is
called on to decide what might or
might not be done with the property"
was Judge Dooling's comment on this
argument What this court must con-
slider is what buyer could reasona-
bly, be expected to pay for the prop
erty."
When Jared How. speaking for the
Equitable Trust company of New York
argued against reopening the case he
said that nobody in his sane senses
would think of investing s75.000,000
in the property, this being the admit
ted reproduction cost.
| John F. Bowie, for the reorganiza-
ton committee, followed in an expla-
nation of the proposed issuance of
stocks by the new company.
After Judge Dooling made his de-
cision not to reopen the case, Madison
said that he did not know whether
any further steps would be taken.
"The decision saves the reorganiZa-
ton proceedings" said Jared How
last night "The cost of these has been
about s1,000,0o0"

pearance on the screen of the Nixon
opera house on Monday, June 26, in
the World Film five-part feature en-
titled, "The Supreme Sacrifice"
This picture relates an absorbing
story of a young man who secrifices
his reputation and goes to four years
Imprisonment rather than expose to
the world the infamy of his best
friend. The friend is young minister
who appropriates charity funds to pay
blackmail to a woman and dies, leav-

The hero of the story is blamed and
silently submits to trial, conviction
and punishment for his friends mis-
deeds. How he eventually triumphs
and regains love and the honor of ths
world at large, is depicted in a series
of graphic and intensely dramatic epi
sodes.
Mr.. Warwick has been given a mos
able supporting cast by the PremC
