"The .Shiek" Coming
To Rex Theatre

When screen stars are required IN
performances of their roles to battle
for the preservation of their lives,
honor or personal rights, it is often
done listlessly, but seldom SO in
Paramount pictures. The invariable
rule of the Paramount directors is
to be realistic, so that when a fight
is scheduled by the story, it is real
battle and no make-shift affair.
Thus it happened that when Agnes
Ayers. Paramount star and featured
player with Rudolph Valentino in
George Melford's magnificent product
ion of THE Sheik" which will be the
feature at the Rex Theatre Sunday,
February Goth, was directed to fight
four Arabian slave girls "for all she
was WORTH" she obeyed orders liter
ally, the result being a scene of in
tense realisms seldom seen in any
moving picture.
1T was lots of sport" said Miss
Ayers the next morning. But, oh,
today! | feel as If I'd been through
a cyclone. Those girls were all
stockily built and all four clung to
me at once and l had to throw them
off. | assure you l haven't any idea
just what | did, was told to fight
and that's all there was to it,
This Is only one of many realistic
scenes in this superb production
There are many thrilling moments in
the action, desert sandstorm, bat
tling Bedouins and magnificent Sah-
aran scenes. The picture is based on
E. M. Hulfs novel of the same name
which created literary sensation in
both this country and in England.

Demand SeUen Days
Notice on Weddings

At the 18th annual convocation OF
the Nevada Episcopal church. held
last week. the bishop and clergy de-
cided to establish the custom Of ask
ing for seven days notice before per-
forming the wedding ceremony.
This decision was made, according
to a statement issued by Rev. e.
T. Brown, executive secretary for
publicity, realizing that the sancity
of marriage seems lightly regarded
these days, as evidenced by the pre-
valence of divorce, and the apparent
throughtlessness of many who enter
this sacred union; and realizing,
furthermore. that the marriage prob
lem should be guarded before the
wedding as we'll as afterward"

YOUNG RAYCRAFT
HAS FEET FROZEN

George Raycraft, of San Francisco,
who has been assisting Ed Raycraft,
at the latter's mine in Pine Nut, had
his feet froze Tuesday while making
trip on snowshoes from the mine
to the VIM. Jacobsen ranch. When
he reached Jacobsen's, 1t was found
necessary to cut his shoes from his
feet and he was given first aid and
then rushed to Gardnerville. Through
prompt aid his feet were saved and
1t is not believed that the young man
will suffer any permanent injury from
his experience in the snow Leaving
the mine on snow shoes and wearing
light shoes, 1t Is believed that the
ski straps were too tight and stop
ped circulation in his feet with the
result as related above. At any rate
1t was an experience that the young
man does not care to repeat.

HEAVY SNOWFALL
IN MOUNTAINS

1t Is impossible to estimate the
average depth of snow in the Valley,
but 1t is believed that about 2h feet
fell here, while at Genoa and on the
west side of the valley between three
and four feet is believed to be a fair
average. At Markleeville is is said
the snow is five feet deep, while at
Lake Tahoe between seven and ten
feet is reported.
In. many places throughout Carson
Valley where the roads are drifted
full of snow, the wire fences have
been cut and travel is diverted
through fields where the snow is
less deep.

Six Men Caught in Big
Storm and Walk 4
Miles Through 3
Feet of Snow

On the north-bound trip last Thurs
day, the Bridgeport stage became
snow-bound four miles south of the
Mountain house, and the driver, VIM.
Koppie, and his five passengers, were
compelled to walk four miles through
three feet of soft snow and the party
reached the mountain house late at
night and several of the men were al
most exhausted from fighting their
way through the deep snow.
Owing to the continued storm the
party was forced to stay at the
Mountain House for five days and
found shelter and food with sheep
man who is wintering at the aband-
oned road station. Had 1t not been
for the presence of the sheepman at
the old stage station, and his supply
of food, the stranded travellers would
have suffered from hunger during the
five days that they were snow-bound
there
Saturday many wild stories were
circulated in Gardnerville relative to
the travellers and one stating that a
physician, who was accompanying an
appendicitis patient to San Francisco,
had offered a reward of $500 to any
one who would bring them to Gard

end of the line, it was learned that
six men were snow-bound at the

TRACTOR TO
OPEN ROADS

An attempt was made early in the
week to put the county tractor and
scraper to work clearing snow from
the valley roads. The machine has
been standing at Cradelbaughs for
the past two months and after work
ing in the tractor for two days a
start was made Tuesday with an
idea of going around by the Cook
ranch and Genoa. However, the out
fit was moved only a short distance
when difficulty was encountered with
the clutch, and as result no head
way on clearing the roads has been
made this week.

Valley Roads Blocked
With Snow Drifts
From Four to Six
Feet Deep

One of the biggest snowstorms that
has visited this section In many
years, settled down to business late
Thursday afternoon of last week and
continued until Saturday morning
Friday night the storm reached the
proportions of a terrific blizzard and
the exceedingly high wind that ac-
companied thes torn, drifted the
snow and in many parts of the VAL
ley the roads are covered by drifts
from four to six feet deep. Many
places in town the snow Is drifted
on al evel with the fences and the
street in front Of Chris Jespersen's 8
home Is banked full of snow at least
five feet deep.
Trails that were made Friday even
ing during brief abatement Of the
storm, drifted full during the night
and until Saturday noon the people
of Minden and Gardnerville were
kept busy digging out"
Even though the storm was con-
sidered to be the most severe that the
people here have ever known, the
telephone company was able to keep
its lines clear and the Douglas
Power company gave uninterrupted
power service and the people were
not inconvenienced in this. respect.
No damage was done in Gardnerville,
excepting to paralyze business and
stop travel.
Both Minden and Gardnerville were
without mail for two days and Sun
day afternoon, with two engines and
plow the " and T. was able TO
get a train through to Mfnden from
Carson. In the lower end of the VAL
ley the track was covered by drifts
on the level with the coach windows,
according to passengers that came In
on the train. Since that time the
Virginia & Truckee company has
made no attempt to run the evening
train, and is doing very well in
deed to maintain the present schedule
In face OF the adverse conditions.
During the three days that the
storm ragged in all its furry, farm.

feed stock and do other necessary
work
Inasmuch as the Valley roads are
closed to auto travel, the creamery
truck could not make its regular
trips and dairymen have been haul
/ ing in their cream in sleighs and
breaking carts drawn by four horses
In comparing the recent storm with
others, those who declare they know
state that more snow was on the
ground at one time in 1917 and 1902
-03. The winter of 1SS9-90 recorded
heavier fall of snow by far, but
from a point of length, continued
zero weather and wind, the present
winter has established a record 1t Is
believed. The first big storm Of the
present winter started ON December
10th and for over sixty days the
ground in Carson Valley has beer
covered with snow. Following the
first storm the thermometer dropped
to as low as sixteen below zero and
for many nights lowered around the
zero mark. Following the recent
storm the thermometer dropped to
IA below Monday night and has hi
zero many times since Saturday.
Wednesday evening the tempera'
ture moderated and during the might
light fall of rain occurred. Yester.
