Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANDREW CHAPEL, Va, September
1O.-The Fairfax County Chamber OF
Commerce last night instructed its Pub
lie Utilities Committee to investigate
the status of bus service along the
Leesburg pike from Leesburg to Wash
ington Last March hearings were held
in Richmond before the State Corpora
ton Commission and three applied for
the franchise, which was granted to
Hall & Shry of Leesburg. John Rooney
of Dranesville stated that the citizens
understood that the law required that
operation should start within 80 days
after the franchise was granted. If the
company does not intend to operate
he &-!zed that It's franchise be Cancelled
Want Electric Service.
The Public Utilities Committee was
also instructed to take up with the
Virginia Public Service Co. the reason
for its delay in extending the power
lines from Chantilly along the Little
River turnpike into Loudoun County.
The chamber, on suggestion of the
Dranesville citizens, adopted a resolu-
ton requesting Resident Engineer r. T.
Mount to cut down the tops of five or
six sharp knobs on the Leesburg Pike
on the three-mile stretch near Dranes-
vile which the State is now preparing
to hard surface. Rooney pointed out
that such action was taken in Loudoun
County and the State would save money
by making such alterations before the
road is macadamized.
Road Width Questioned.
Upon suggestion of Joseph Berry of
Vienna and Frank Lyon of Mclean the
chamber will endeavor to ascertain from
State Chairman H. G. Shirley and
from county records the exact width
of the States right of way on the Lees
burg Pike. Berry stated that the State
is claiming only 30-foot right of way.
Supervisors Leigh, Powell and other
citizens stated that the right of way
is at least so feet. Lyon suggested that
the chamber ask the board of supervis-
ors to have the county engineer plat
all the roads of the county, as was
done in Arlington County, setting up
proper markers along the boundary
line and that the State be asked to
mark the right of, way of the Leesburg
Pike, as is done along the Lee Highway.
Allen reported progress on the Hybla
Valley Zeppelin Airport negotiations.
He stated that he is informed that
six months may elapse before the In
ternational Zeppelin Co. reaches a final
decision. Fairfax County stands more
than an equal chance of being selected
as the site of the American terminal.
Tests of water samples from the field
made by the United States Geological
Survey and United States Department
of Agriculture at the request of the
Fairfax chamber have been forwarded
to the New York Office.

and have been waiting for these new
adoptions all fall. The biographies
in these two grades have been almost
unusable. The new adoptions will be
put in gradually so as not to incur TOO
much textbook expense at n time.
The second semester will start on
January 26th this school year. This
will make ninety two school days the
first semester and only eighty seven
the second semester. We will have
a week more for review Of the first
semester's work by dividing the year
in this way.
The Elementary grades are all CIV
ing Christmas programs on Friday
afternoon Of this week. The rooms
are going together in pairs and each
pair Of rooms has q Christmas tree.
The pupils are furnishing most Of the
decorations which will be returned to
them. Little sacks or boxes of candy
and nuts will be distributed by the
teachers. In some Of the grades names
were drawn and small gifts are being
exchanged.
We thought the high school had
been pulling a joke on Miss Prader
by telling her that the high school
teachers were also supposed to fix up
trees for the Freshman and others,
but later discovered that the Latin
Clubs still liked a Christmas tree and
had one at their meeting Tuesday
night.
Perhaps some Of the Latin / folks
still believe in Santa Claus.

We had a mighty fine turnout at
the basket ball game with Outlook
last week. The guarding became a
bit wild during the second half due
the inexperience Of several of the
boys but that should disappear with
practice. Outlook has a nice little
team.
We play Scobey on Friday night Of
this week and expect a good scrappy
game. Bill Grave is the only vet
eran we have left from last year but
the younger bunch is coming alone
fine and we hope to give the teams
in Northeastern Montana some real
battles before the season is over

There will be no high school games
during the Christmas holidays but
the team will be kept in condition by
regular practices, probably three
times a week. Coach Slaght will

Not His First Jolt
Mig Collins served a term in the
~penitentiary at Mosomin, Canada,
some years ago, and after his term
expired he was taken to the U. S.
border line north of Minot and boot
ed across the line into North Dakota
having been deported as an undesir-
able alien from u neighboring ma
ton. Mig thereafter proceeded to
Minot where he enlisted the aid Of
other underworld gangsters and soon
had an automobile stealing syndicate
in full swing with him as one Of the
ring leaders. He was arrested on
evidence hat sent him to the peni-
Tertiary at Bismarck, North Dako-
ia for a term of years, but in
order to get off with as light a SEN
tence as possible, he turned states
evidence and sent several other par
ties to the ~penitentiary, some Of whom
are still serving time. After doing
this he was known as "Rat" Collins
in the Minot territory.
Comes to Pkntywood
Knowing that in Plentywood we
had a government presided over by
Charles E. Taylor, Rodney Salisbury
and A. c. Erickson and a few lesser
light, and that here he would find
protection, he came here and there
is no use repeating some of the var
ious escapades he has been mixed up
in here. That he was a very close
of Salisbury is evident as they
generally seen together on the
streets or else coming from or en-
tering the Producers News Office on
semi-hourly conferences with Chas.
Taylor. Salisbury also went 'Nigs'
bonds whenever he got into trouble
after the red regime ceased here, as
before that time there was no use
to arrest this.
Chief of Police Oscar ]. Collins and
Custom officer Ted Winters. contrib
considerable towards obtaining
evidence which finally landed mig"
Collins back of the bars.
The fine of $4,000 will have to be
paid or else Collins will have to spend
same behind the bars at the rate Of
$500 per day or about 5h years ad-
ditional. However, he has plenty Of
gangster friends who may come to
his rescue, but it will not be the
bunch that he gave the royal double
to in Minot. !
Uneasy Ones Here
AS soon as the news was flashed
about town, there were a few who
commenced to squirm and rush to
their attorneys. Just what this
was for, we do not know,
but believe that it has considerable
to do with the court house robbery,
as it is quite generally believed that
"Nig" Collins can tell more than is
known about that affair.
End of the Circus
Thus we find the wind-up Of the
so-called Blackwell Hippodrome which
not cost Sheridan county as much
as the fine of $4,000 which will be
paid by Collin.
