LINE HAS NO LABOR TROUBLE
Suburban Railroad Near Washington
Does Business With One Man as
Its Sole Employee.

A certain little suburban car line
near Washington is unique in having
the owner Of the road as president
motorman, conductor, general utility
man and bureau of information.
There are 80 curves in the three
miles covered, and when the motor
man is collecting fares the little car
elides unassisted around the shortest
curves with perfect ease and safety
at least so far.
It is also most accommodating
car. Certain customers take the 7 :3O
every morning. Everybody knows
everybody else, and a social time IS
enioyed each day. The conductor-mo-
torman also knows each passenger by
name. and when the car is ready to
start, if Miss Jones happens to be
late, which is often the case, the car
is delayed while Miss Jones sprlnts
breathlessly down the hill and -
helped on by two or more polite gen.
tlemen.
One day last spring, when the car
was crowded with government clerks
hurrying to office, the president-mo-
torman stopped the car while passing
through an old field and politely asked
permission Of the ladies aboard to
shoot a very troublesome hawk which
had killed many chickens in" the
neighborhood After the shooting, the
only other wait was for Mrs. Smith
to send her little boy back home for
her glasses, which she had forgotten.

"FOOLISH WIVES" AT ELkO
BEGINNING NEXT SATURDAY

"Foolish Wives" the sensational
Won Stroheim production, which has
attracted so much attention in New
York City, will be presented at the
Elko theatre Saturday, Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday.
This gigantic super-Jewel pro-
duction made by the master genius
Of Won Stroheim, after nearly two
years Of labor, and after Carl Laem-
nile had expended over a million dol
lars on the picture, is assuredly the
foremost American made production
in the history of screen drama. Al
though the scenes are laid near Monte
Carlo, the unusual and novel feat
was attempted Of duplicating that
famous Mediterranean resort on the
shores of Southern California.
No such colossal enterprise as re-
producing the entire city Of Monte
Carlo at California has ever been
known in the moving picture industry.
Foolish Wives" adds to the laur-
els of Won Stroheim, who wrote the
story, directed the picture and acted
the leading role of a Russian count,
who tries to fascinate lot of fool
ish wives. Others in the cast are; Miss
DUPONT, Mae Smith, Maude George,
Dale Fuller, Rudolph Christians, and
a host of others. Nearly 5000 people
were employed in the ensembles
showing the crowds in the gay pleas

Wild Oats That Travel.

We are all more familiar with wild
oats" In moral than a botanical
sense, yet in the latter it is IN article
of no small curiosity.
For one thing, it has semi-inherent
power of moving from one place to an
other. Let a head Of 1t be laid down
in a moistened state upon a table and
left there for the night, and the next
morning it will be found to have
walked away.
This locomotive power possessed by
wild oats resides in the peculiar hard
"awn," or spike, which sets the grain
a-tumbling over and over sideways.
A very large and coarse kind OF
wild oats, brought many years ago
from Otaheite, was found to have
this ambulatory character in uncom-
mon perfection.
If ordinary cultivated oats are al
lowed to degenerate, they revert to
their former state, and acquire this

Insulated Shovel.

Where laborers are at work on an
electric railway of the third-track
class there is always danger If ordi-
nary tools are employed. for the
touching of the third rail with pick,
shovel or crowbar may lead to fatal
results. There was patented some
time ago a tool which is insulated
for the purpose of protecting the work
men on electric railways. In the case
Of the usual shovel there Is placed an
insulating sleeve over the metallic
handle so that there Is no possibility
Of grounding the current through the
workman should the tool come into nc
cidental contact with the "live" rail.
Furthermore, there is made use of an
insulating material Of some distinct
color. which is an additional precau-
ton.

or persistently, when transferred to

Zane Grey-whose gripping story,

An additional fact that should serve

most gripping and spectacular film
ever produced by Douglas Fairbanks:
Based on that universally read
classic by Alexander Dumas, '"Thc
Three Musketeers," and added to
from the Memoirs of D'Artagnan,
this feature is said to embody more
that is adventurous, romantic and
dramatic than it has ever before been
possible to incorporate in a film We

I. SHEPARD WANTS
Nominees for Collector in
Demand for Whole Vote
Count in Contest

Mont ]. Reid will join Frank G. Weil
in contesting the recount of votes de-
manded by Arthur Shepard, Mr.. Reid
announced today following the action
last night of Mr.. Weir in filing a coun-
ter affidavit with the county clerk de-
manding a recount of all votes east for
county tax collector instead of simply
in few precincts, as asked by Shepard,
defeated for nomination by two votes.
The official count by the board of
supervisors gave Weir 1,644, Reid 1,6O9
and Shepard 1907.
In this affidavit, Weir states:
"That this affiant Weir disbelieves
that any mistakes or misconduct has
caused said contestant Arthur Shepard
to be deprived of any votes in the
various precincts said contestant has
mentioned in his said petition and upon
information furnished this affiant and
upon his belief in the matter, this affi-
ant denies that any mistakes or mis-
conduct on the part of the election
boards of the various said precincts has
deprived said contestant Arthur Shep-
ard of any votes whatsoever and fur
ther denies that there has been any
lllScOuuuct OH thc pai1 VI thV oiNe'io"
boards heretofore mentioned and fur,
ther denies that said contestant Arthur
Shepard has been deprived or is now
deprived of the right to have his name
placed on the ballot at the said ger>ral
election through errors, misconduct, or
otherwise than that he did not receive
sufficient number of votes to allow
his name to be printed on said ballot
and therefore this affiant alleges that
the prayer of said contestant should be
denied and his petition dismissed.
Weir further states: "That recount
of all of the ballots east for said office
in all of the precincts of said county
is the proper and best procedure in
order to arrive at the desire of all of
the electors who voted at said primary
electiOn.'
Mont j. Reid, who beat out Shepard
for second place, stated today that he
too will file counter affidavit against
Shepard s charges, and ask for a re
count of the entire vote for tax collec

Mine OWNERS IN
AGREEMENT WITH
PRESS ON NEWS
Reporter Who Printed Story
Telling of Troops Is
ThrsWn Out

AT THE ARGONAUT MINE, Jack.
son, Calf, Sept. 15.-Time for posi-
bic rescue of the AZ imprisoned miners
in the Argonaut gold mine was post
poned today an additional % hours
until Monday at the earliest.
The formal announcement OF the
rescue committee showed that on the
5000 foot level during the last "a
hours the rescue tunnel has progressed
only 90 feet toward the rock wall it is
penetrating-less than one foot an
hour.
Trouble between the so newspaper
correspondents here to "cOver' the
story and the mine officials, which
threatened to become serious, appar-
emily had been settled today through
the signing of an agreement between
all of the correspondents except one
and the committee in charge of rescue
work.
The difficulty, long smouldering,
came to climax when a story was
sent out by one correspondent to the
effect that troops would be called to
preserve order when the rescue is made.
When the story was printed mine Of
ficials at once announced ban on all
newspaper men on their property,
threatened to remove wires that had
been installed and closed the road to
the Kennedy mine, where the rescue
will be made.
When the author of the story appear
ed on mine property yesterday after
noon after he had ignored orders to
leave, the sheriff seized him by the
shoulder and dragged him from the Red
Cross office. He resisted, although he
did not fight. The sheriff showed him
across the porch, down a short flight
of stairs, over a cleared space of sew
eral yards and hurled him down an.
other flight of stairs.
The man 8 wife, who was present,
was not touched, although she stood
.on mine property for 10 minutes
longer before she joined her husband.
A special representative Of Governor
stephens was present at the election
and kept silent. The governor had
previously notified the president Of
the mine that no state protest would
be made if newspapers were barred
from mine property. Three other cor
respondents, including a man on the
same staff as the offending reporter,
were present and they made no protest.
