The stage is all set for the big
minstrel show which will be given
under the auspices of the Stray Elks
of McGill next Saturday night.
During the last week many new

CHANGES IN "OLD FAITHFUL"
Slightly Heightened the Periods

Old Faithful, Yellowstone's most
famous geyser. has slightly changed
the period of It's eruptions.
According to the observations of the
park naturalist and the rangers. the
geyser now spouts OF nm asefage
every 6i.6 minutes. Last year the ay-
erage period was 80 minutes.
The alteration in old falthfuls

ing Of It's ylgor or "falthfulness." On
the contrary. Naturalist VI T. skin
ner's observations show the mighty
fountain To be Increasing IN volume.
Tile change Is believed to be due to
an alteration IN the s%ubterranean tube
OF the geyser.
For the last year or 50 Old Faithful
has acquired Il habit Of occasionally
throwing out small rocks. The pas
sage Of the rocks through the tube Is
believed to have enlarged Its dlmcn-
slons slightly, this in turn being re-
sponsible for the heightened period he

CHERRY CREEK TRUCK
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE

A truck driven by Frank Dolan OF
Cherry Creek and loaded with seven
barrels of gasoline and sixty-five gal
Ions of oil on its way from the Stand
ard Oil Company's plant in East Ely
TO Cherry Creek, where the cargo
was to have been delivered to S. L.
Hagans, was almost totally destroyed
by fire last Wednesday evening.
The fire occurred neal the forks
of the McGill roads, near Steptoe
creek, and is believed to have been
caused by one of the gas tanks leak
ing and the gas flowing over the en-
haust pipe.
The fluid caused such a sudden
combustion that Dolan was fmmedi-
ately enveloped in flames and was
compelled to jump for his life while
the car was in motion. The truck
ran q considerable distance with its
blazing ball of fire before it stopped.
The fire lasted for fully an hour and
a half, two of the gasoline drums and
the supply tank of the a exploding,
the flames shooting upward like a
great ball of fire ascending from the
earth to the heavens.
The front portion of the two-ton
Jeffry truck was completely destroy
ed. Five of the gasoline drums and
the oil stood the test and remained
intact.

AUTOMOBILES
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

Mrs. II. c. Oliver was painfully IN
iured and almost miraculousiy es.
caped death about $3.50 O'Clock last
Thursday afternoon when the auto
mobile which she was driving up
Robinson canyon turned over II
went down an embankment about
twenty feet.
Mrs. Oliver was travelling i'll her

ing the bridge Immediately west OF
the railroad tunnel as the q was
about to ascend the second grade
Mrs. Olive r attempted to shift gears.
In her effort she failed TO accomplish
the desired shift and threw her ear
into neutral, at the same time killing
the engine. The car started to back
and the brakes failed to work. Mrs.
Oliver told Mrs. Gaines to jump with
the baby, and this Mrs. Gaines did,
the two escaping without injury.
Mrs. Oliver, in the face OF the
great danger, became confused and
SO turned her wheel that the cal
backed over the steep embankment,
turning almost completely around
and facing in an easterly direction
before it went over on its side. This
caused the a to land on the oppo-
site side from where Mrs. Oliver was
seated at the wheel. In a dazed con-
dition she crawled from her perilous
position and fell on the mbankment
beside the car.
A few moments later Mr.. and Mrs.
Gordon Gaines, who wef also driving
from Ely to Ruth, reached the scene
of the accident. They Immediately
placed Mrs. Oliver in their ear and
brought her to the Gaines home on
Clark street, in Ely, where she re-
ceived medical attention. After her
wounds were dressed she was able TO
be removed to her home in Ruth

MORE THAN A RAIN SHREDDER
African Chiefs Take the Possession Of
an Umbrella Very Seriously, Ac-
cordinq to Reports.

Some time ago, there was what the
news described as unrest in the West
African colony of Lagos; kilograms
were dispatched between that country
and Great Britain. governors and
deputy-governors were interviewed,
and 1t was with difficulty that a native
war was averted. The cause of all
this commotion was an umbrella
Now, In our country, as we all know,
an umbrella is looked upon as a harm
less possession-but not so in West
Africa. There. among most OF the ma
tive tribes, the umbrella Is regarded
as an emblem of royalty, and It's pos
session Is strictly confined to the chief
or king of the tribe.
Therefore the Indignation was in
tense on the part of one OF these
kings, when he found an inferior chief
putting up an umbrella Of his own.
The king at once took a Journey To
Lagos. to lodge n formal complaint OF
the chiefs reasonable conduct with
the British governor.

The coverings of these umbrellas
