Two years ago this company produced into California a fizer called Tavaaco, which acc ing, to their claims was 90 cent sulphur and which w make every farm in California Garden of Eden. High power salesmanship and over credul agriculturists enabled them to many carloads of the so-called filizer at $60 a ton, whereas analysis made by the division chemistry of the department of riculture showed it to have maximum value of less than and that it contained less than per cent sulphur. At that the department of agriculture no law under which it could vent this fraud, but in November the legislature passed the agrural minerals act which requal such materials to be tax with the correct percentage of phur.

TWO WOUNDED IN BORDER RUM WAR SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 1—Two men were wounded early this morning in a border gun battle between federal prohibition agents and liquor runners attempting to smuggle whiskey into Ferry-co, eastern Washington, from Grand Forks, B.C., according to telephone reports received from the agents by Roy C. Lyle, federal dry director for the state, here today. George Murray, federal agent patrolling the border with Andrew Sadler, was shot and critically wounded in the battle. Lyle was informed, while Foley Payne, one of the man-accented booze running, was shot thru the neck. Murray is under medical attention at Grand Forks, while Payne, who is in custody with others following the shooting and capture of the auto, was taken to a hospital at Republic. He is more dangerously wounded that Murray, Lyle learned. The shooting happened shortly after midnight. Lyle being notified at 3 a.m. by long distance telephone, Ferry-co, since the advent of prohibition, has been the scene of lawlessness, bootlegging and rum running activity of which Lyle's men have almost despaired. Two years ago, federal mon recall, convicted the Ferry-co-sheriff of conveying rum runners across the border to safety, and succeeded in securing a sentence to Meell Island, federal penitentiary. California Theatre tomorrow only. Hegal and Margot present "The Parisian Rag Painters," a novelty act that you will enjoy. Billy Shotts impersonates the character from the poem of John Greenleaf Whittier, "The Ease-foot Boy," and will bring him before you in identically the same way Whittier describes him. Leo and Viola Doherty offer a laush provoking mixup, "Marriage and Insurance." This duo of entertainers present a wealth of new material in the most unique manner. Wade and Hale, "The Two Gentlemen from Kokomo," are two big favorites on the vaudeville stage and their offering is a clean, classy bit of nature and has splendid entertaining values. The act is cleverly presented and laughs galore can be figured on. It is very seldom that you will find an act where there are two sisters and two brothers as you will find in the Oxford Four of "Musical Moments". It is one of the prettiest acts that has played in the West this season. Their act as a whole is most pleasing and refreshing to all vaudeville patrons. Long Island society folk received the thrill of their lives during the filming of exterior scenes for Dorothy Dalton's latest Paramount picture, "The Moral Sinner," which is on the same bill for tomorrow only. The occasion was the shooting of the fire sequence of the production. This scene takes place at a fashionable charity ball in a big hotel, where the star, in the role of Leah Kleschna, clever girl crook, has gone with her father and servant, Schram, to steal the bazaar funds. It is while Leah is working at the combination of the safe in the committee room that the fire breaks out and she is trapped in the burning building. For the purpose of making the scene more realistic, word was broadcast of the scenes that were to be filmed, and as a result people from miles around flocked to the location. When everything was ready, the director, Ralph Ince, gave the signal for action. With the cry "Fire!", the scene was on. Immediately smoke and flames began to creep through the windows of the hotel suddenly breaking out into a conflagration that could be seen for miles around. Those who were lucky enough to be on hand, declared that, save for the fact of the camera grinding on the scene there wasn't a reason in the world for believing that the incident wasn't the real thing. And you'll more than agree with them when you see the picture. All sorts of difficulties encountered by the men in of the work.
