the initial symptoms, some of which

indigestion and cough that hangs on.

For a short time Sunday, all un-
beknown to the populace at large,
Las Vegas harbored royalty in the
person of Count Bosdari, of Eng
land. For some twenty minutes
the Count gaZed upon our desert
landscape, and trod the soil sacred
to the air express and the golfers,
and then departed for Los Angeles,
the last lap of his air journey from
New York to Los Angeles.
Coming over from England on
the Berengaria last week with Ma
jor Moseley of the Western Air
Express, the Count was persuaded
to make the trip west via air
plane.
"It was easy to tell he hadn't
been over very long" said E. A.
Russell, Of the air port, "for he
had us change a twenty dollar bill,
and it took him quite a while to
figure out that we weren't getting
the best Of him. He appeared to
be enjoying the experience"
The afternoon plane carried w.
W. Robinson of Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Robinson was not enjoying the
experience quite as thoroughly as
the Count. as he had suffered some
with air sickness. The arrival of
this plane was witnessed by the
large crowd out to watch the golf
tournament, and the landing was
one Of the prettiest it has been our
pleasure to see.
We doubt whether there is an
other air company any where who
can show the record of reliability
