Extra Selected Star Photoplay,

tire on Sunday is the last screen
production in which the distin-
guished character actor will ap-
pear merely as a contract star.
He is now making pictures as an
Individual producer, but says
that in the part of Theobald
Todd, vetern newspaper man in
a small town, henpecked hus-
band and astute detective, he
found an opportunity for cha
racter delineation which gave
him the greatest pleasure.
1t is a part different from any
that he ever has essayed on eth
er the spoken or the silent stage,
so different from the forceful
masterful roles in which the
public is accustomed to see him.
1t is a role of good humor; of
kindly philosophy; of faithful,
long service and lack of reward
of unsupported power in appa1-
ent weakness and-with an
dreams realized in the end,
which comes with a smashing
finish. You will laugh at Todd;
laugh with him; pity him at
times, but, in the end, be filled
with admiration.

WANT RATTLESNAKEs.


Rattlesnakes as a marketable
commodity leaped to the fore
ground at the state department
Of agriculture at Boise Monday.
Expressing their desire to
reap a rattlesnake harvest in the
state, a company with laborato-
ries at Cleveland, Ohio, sent in
an urgent request for a snake
crop report.
According to their letterhead,
members of the company want
to use the reptiles for manufac-
turing rattlesnake oil, which
they retail at a mere trifle of
$3.50 an ounce.
They also manufacture salves
balms and liniments, the rattle
sanke oil being one of the ingre-
dents.
The letter, which may (but
probably will not) open a new
bureau in, the agricultural de-
partment, follows:
would you kindly inform me
what part Of the state is mostly
infested with rattlesnakes and
how many rattlesnakes do you
judge to the best of your know
ledge are in the state, as we have
formed a company to catch rat
tlesnakes and therefore intend
to send men out to catch these
snakes. Any information you
can give on this subject will be
greatly appreciated. Also, what
month of the year is best for
catching these snakes in your
state?"
The agricultural experts, I'M
able to find either a crop or a
market report on rattlesnakes,
forwarded the letter to the
state game warden, assuming
that the snakes, not being dom
este creatures, must come under
his department.

DEATH OF YOUNG MATRON
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Con.
Steltz of Genesee

The Genesee News, of last
week had the following to say
about the death and burial of
Mrs. w. A. Mcmahon:
Mrs. w. A. Mcmahon of the
Salmon river country succumbed
to an operation in Cottonwood
on Monday, November 10, at
about 5 o'clock, following very
serious operation, which had
been performed that morning in
the hope of saving her life. The
news of her sudden death came
as a distinct shock to her many
friends in Genesee, as she had
only recently returned home
from a visit with her parents
here, and although her health
had not been good it was not
known that her condition was
critical. Her husband and
young son were with her at the
time of her death, but the sud-
denness of her passing prevent
ed other relatives from reaching
Cottonwood.
Elizabeth Thekla Steltz was
born September 2, 1887, in
South Dakota but came with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad
Steltz, to Genesee when about
one year old and spent her girl
hood days and grew to woman
hood here. She was united in
marriage to William Arthur Nc
Mahon in February, 1908, ana
not long after they removed to a
ranch in the Salmon river coun-
try, where they have since resid-
ed.
To this union three children
were born: Jesse, aged Is;
Kathryn, aged ID, and William,
aged nine years, who with the
husband survive her and will
mourn the loss of a devoted
mother and wife.
Besides her immediate family
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Con-
rad Steltz, of Genesee, two sis
tiers, Mrs. B. B. Caldwell of
Genesee and Miss Pauline Steltz
of Kamiah, and one brother, Ed
ward Steltz, of Genesee, besides
other relatives and many friends
will mourn her demise.
She was a brave and loving
mother, sacrificing her own de-
sires for the sake of the family
she no nobly tried to bring to
manhood and womanhood, and
her heroic soul enabled her to
bear her life bravely.
The body was brought to Lew
iston by the husband and young
son, accompanied by, a friend
Mrs. R. A. Minis, of Cottonwood,
and the funeral party was met
there by her mother and sister,
Miss Pauline Steltz, and reached
Genesee Tuesday afternoon.
The funeral was held from the
home of her parents and short |
but impressive services were
conducted by Rev. L. A. Crown,
pastor of the Federated church
es. Special music was provid-
ed by a quartet composed of
Madames w. w. Burr and L. A.
Crown and w. E. English and J.
NJ. Tedford. The floral offer
-ngs were very beautiful.
