aTO HAVE AND TO HOLD"
AT AMERICAN FRIDAY

One of the most widely read novels
in a generation in America, ITO Have
and to Hold" by Mary Johnson, is
related in photoplay form by the
Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Com
pany, with Mae Murray, the famous
stage beauty and star, in the leading
role. The production will mark Miss
Murrays debut as a Lasky star on
the Paramount Program. Wallace
Reid, a favorite of the screen, will
appear in Miss Murray's support
The story of ITO Have and to
Hold" goes back to the days of the
early seventeenth century when few
sturdy English adyenturers had the
fortitude to brave the dangers of es-
tablishing a settlement in Virginia.
The scenes of the play are laid in
and around jamestown and the main
characters are rough and ready, the
kind that made it possible for our
ancestors 10 establish a new world
here.
Among those to appear in support
of Miss Murray are Wallace Reid
Tom Forman. Raymond Hatton, Will
liam Bradbury, James Neil, Bob Gray
Luciene Littlefield, Camille Astor and

D. & R. c. Will
SETTLE WITH W.P.

With the departure for New York
City last evening of Attorney John
#. Bowie and President Charles II
Levy of the Western Pacific. bank
ers' row. is today firmly convinced
that a settlement of the $4,000, 600
equitable claim of that property
against Gould's Denver & Rio Grande
railroad will soon be announced.
This claim is based on the unful-
hlled guaranty of the Rio Grande
people of the interest on the 50.000,-
600 first mortgage bonds of the old
Western Pacific during their lifetime.
A default in the interest led to the
roads recent receivership and reor-
ganization.
The Equitable Trust Company. on
behalf of the Western Pacific, is seek
ing to enforce this claim in the East
ern courts, and recently legally re-
strained the Rio Grande people from
removing a 100000 cash deposit
in one of the New York banks
This action is said to have hastened
a tentative compromise by the George
Jay Gould railroad advisers, whereby
it is rumored the Western Pacific will
probably receive in negotiable securi-
ties S13.500.000 in full payment.
The prominent men and bankers in
the Eastern holding company of the
Western Pacific road, which is known
as the Western Pacific Railroad Cor
poration of Delaware, like c. Ledyard
Blair of Blair & Co., and William Sal
omon of William Solomon & Co., are
represented as favoring a quick COM
promise for half, or even les than
half. of the total claim.
The money so received will
strengthen very much the company's
branch-road program for the next
twelve months, and for which some
sS,000,000 or $10.000,000 of last years
S20,0000 900 bond issue has for some
time been available.
The atmosphere seems to be clear
ing and it commences to look better
for the construction of branch lines
to the Western Pacific. The road is
making a splendid showing under the
management of President Levey, but
he knows, and every one else knows,
that he must construct feeders to
make his road a dividend payer dur
ing the years to come. The most
popular and paying asset the line
could possibly possess would be the
construction of the Winnemucca
Northern railroad into Oregon and
Idaho.

TWO IMPORTANT
ASSEMBLY BILLS

The State highway bill, concerning
which there is widespread interest
and which is recognized as one of the
most important constructive meas
ures to come before the Legislature
has been introduced by the commit
tee on roads and highways of the AS
sembly, of which Assemblyman Geo
b. Ackerman is chairman. The bill
has been considered in committee for
several days and has also been sub
mitted to number of legal authori-
ties in order to secure a strict con-
formity to the constitution.
AS it stands, the bill creates high
way department of three members,
who do not receive a stated saalry,
their remuneration being fixed at $40
per day while in actual attendance
upon their official duties. The three
directors are authorized to employ q
highway engineer, whose appoint
ment must be approved by the Fed
eral department of good roads, at an
annual salary of $4,000. This engi-
neer is made the executive head of
the department, subject to removal
by the highway directors.
The bill authorizes the department
to make a reconnaissance of the high
ways of Nevada and in their discre-
ton to declare any trunk-line roads
to be State highways, which shall be
improved and maintained by the State
highway department. A highway
fund is to be created by tax of two
mills upon the dollar, and to secure
immediate funds for the department
the Legislature is asked to appropri-
ate the sum of s150.000, which is to
be repaid to the treasury from the
departments funds as soon as they
become available from imposition of
the special highway tax
From the fund so created the STATE
is to extend financial cooperation
sufficient to meet the Federal high
way appropriations made to the State
of Nevada, the remaining funds to be
expended by the department in the
construction of State highways, one
half the cost of which construction
shall be borne by the counties in
which such highways may be located.
A social provision in the bill permits
the department to reduce the amount
required from county financially
unable to advance half the cost of
construction within it's borders.
The bill does not provide for a
bond issue. the theory of its propo-
nents being that the two-mill tax
would be sufficient for the work that
could be accomplished within the
next two years.
The bill also empowers the depart
ment of highways, with the consent
of the prison warden, to employ pris-
oners from the State prison upon
highway work at the rate of twenty
FIVE cents per day.
