LO|s MORAN PLAYS
 DAUGHTER IN F0X' 
 THE MUSIC MASTER"

"The Music Master, which opens at the Liberty theatre tonight is a revival of the old stage play which scored such a tremendous success 20 years ago.
 Skillfully adapted to the screen by the Fox director Allan Dwan, it is even more popular than it was in its original form.
 The story is of lovable musician who left a brilliant career in Vienna to search 19 years for his wife. who left his home with another man, talk ing with her his baby daughter. Two big dramatic scends are when he finds the daughter, and later when he comes face to face with the man who has betrayed him. But the chief charm of the story lies in the delicate charm of the characterization.
 Alec Francis, in the title role does the best work of his career, protray- ing the lonely old musician with great sympathy and feeling.
 Lois Moran brings to the role of the daughter that subtitle spiritual quality which, combined with her youth and beauty, has made her one of the most promising of the young screen stars.

NEW SURFACE ON
COLUMBIA RIVER
HIGHWAY

A perfected surface of the OIL
bound gravel type is being put on
the famous Columbia Highway in
Oregon. Sharp rock screenings are
mixed with thick asphaltic oil and
heavily rolled into the existing
paving, with clean, dry screenings
loose on top. This makes a sur
face on which wheel slippage IS
practically impossible and which
is safe for rubber under all con-
rditionS.
Thousands of miles of old roads
are being remade and widened in
this manner into perfect modern
highways The process used is the
same in all material details as that
proposed for the streets of Las
Vegas. The oil-bound gravel pro-
cess has furnished a means of Sc
curing what in essential qualities
is the same, some say better,
surface for highways and streets
with moderate traffic, as the much
more expensive types of concrete
or asphalt concrete pavements.

Is AVERTED BY WIND
CHANGE. SECOND DIS
ASTER TO MILL.

The Yellow Pine mill in Good
springs was almost totally destroy
ed by a fire which started about
Sis Sunday afternoon, only the
calciner remaining unchanged.
The mill was shut down at the
moment, the day shift having left
at 4:30 due and the watShman not
being due until Quo and nobody
was on duty.
The fire originated in the en-
gine room and is supposed to have
been caused by Smouldering car
bon from the exhaust.
Within a few moments after the
fire was discovered the large struc-
ture was a greta mass of roaring
flames. BY 900 there was only
mass of smouldering embers and
a smoking oil tank.
Insurance of $32,500 is carried by
the Nevada Insurance Company.
According to its representative
Jas. H. Down of this city.
The mill was only about four
years old, having replaced the
one burned some five years ago.
The Yellow Pine Company has an
nounced no plans for rebuilding as
yet.
The company is in very pros
porous condition, the mine, in the
opinion of those best informed
showing greater and more valuable
ore bodies than at any other time

met with several small disasters
such as are inevitable in mine
operation, and that it will continue
as before is a foregone conclusion
1t is worthy of note at this
time that the yellow Pine has paid
more than $3.OOOOOO in dividends
