Commissioners Ask
For Carload of Elk

The Commission of Douglas
County have made official request to
the Federal government Tor carload
of e k and are expecting to hear most
any day that the animals have been
shipped. Other Nevada counties have
taken interest in the Elk proposition,
made by the federal government and
intend to order carloads of them.
In the Yellowstone park country
thousands of Elk are under protect
ion of the government, and during
want of food While this condition
has been improved during the past
year, through the purchase of large
ranch by. the government where the
Elk are fed during the bad winter
months. the proposition OF distribut-
ing the animals to different sections
of the country where protection is
promised by thes tate and county Of
ficials, is looked upon with favor by
! the government
| The matter of securing Elk was
first taken up with the government
twoy ears ago, but it was found that
the laws OF Nevada did not protect
this game. However, the last legis-
lature passed d law for the protection
of Elk, making it possible to bring
Elk to this state.
Chas. Fulstone, member of the
Douglas county board OF commission
ers, has been quite active in securing
h k for this county and further agrees
to care for half of the number re-
ceived at his ranch until such time
that it will be deemed right to give
them their liberty in the mountains.
Others have signiied like intentions
for the care OF the animals. Mr..
F'ulstone states that the mountains
back of Jacks Valley offer a splendid
range for the Elk and no doubt within
a lew years their number will rapidly
increase.

Eyes of the World
Next Tuesday Night

INSTALLATION of some usual charac-
ter types are feature of the big
Clune cinema drama, "The Eyes of
the World" Harold Belle Wright's
novel, on which the photo production
is founded, is rich in types, and the
utmost care has been used in the re-
creation of these for the screen. 1t
will appear at theValLalla Theatre
next Tuesday.
1t has ben asserted that there is
not a hackneyed character in "The
Eyes of the World" and the story is
both idyllic and melodramatic, but its
melodrama is of the finest type.
Particularly in the drawing of Sybil
the mountain girl; Langrange. the
move list; Taine, the physical wreck
of misspent life, and Henry Marston
the convict, has the author shown his
unusual powers of characterization.
The burned out roue, Taine. contrasts
strongly with the ingenious young
artist, Aaron King, ambitious of fame.
but who is on the point of debasing
his talents for the easy way to success
and becomes the shining mark for a
designing woman.
| Then there is Conrad Lagrange,
the cynical story writer. who confess
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1918-02-08

es that he "haunts the intellectual
for material for his
successful stories, but in whose heart
still burn many of the kindly senti-
ments of his ear ier days. Again
thereis James Rutlidge, the bull-neck-
ed art critic, born, bred and reared
in an atmosphere that does not toll
crate purity of thought who covets
the sweet young girl of the mountains
whose character typifies their beauty.
purity and strength.
Besides there are John Willard, the
convict, who plays an important part
in the story, after his escape to the
wandering life of the hills; Myra
Willard, pitiable bit of fiotsam on the
sea of humanity, and Brian Oakley,
the forest ranger hardy, rugged and
fearless specimen of manhod.
A quaint touch is added in the pict-
uring of zee Kee, the keen devoted
servant who adds many a light and
humorous touch to the pictures.

NEW ROAD IS IN
SPLENDID
SHAPE

The new road built by the commits
sioners of Douglas county between
the old Pony saloon and Indian school
is fair example of what can be done
with modern bodybuilding machinery
While storms have been light thus
far since the road was built, the
highway has, packed in fair shape
and is so far superior to old road that
there is no comparison. With the
winter storms to pack the dirt and a
little dragging, the road will be one
of the best dirt highways in the
state. The road is wide, and is turn
piked, which will carry of the rain
snd snow. Along the hi lside, large
eulyerts have been placed under the
road to carry off the water.
With this work done, and other i'm
provements under way by the county
together with the fact that the fedora
government will build six or eigh
miles of new highway between Garter
station and the Mountain House in the
spring, this county is making vast
strides in road construction.
II hoped however, that the COM
missioners wi see fit next spring, To
extend their commendable road-buld-
ing activities to the Kingsbury grade
and put the Lake Tahoe highway In
better shape.

Board will meet again about the
middle of the month for the purpose
of preparing a budget of estimated
expenses to conduct the county gov-
ernment for the year 1918.
Board adjourned subject to the call
o. the chair.
The storm of the past few days has
relieved the anxiety of the farmers to
some extent who were beginning to
believe that "a 'ong with wheatless and
meatless days they were to have a
snowless winter and probably
cropless season ahead of them AL
though much more snow will be re-
quired to guarantee anything like a
normal supply of water for the irri-
cation season of 1918, they feel that
the storm of this week has broken the
dry spell and more storms are to
follow.
