the bill will doubtless become law

former bogey, the interestate com

they resisted so vigorously, has be

When the post office department pro
posed to pay for mail carriage by
space instead of by weight, the rail
roads, despairing of securing a just
compensation either by the new
scheme or by the old, which had been
tried and found wanting, begged con
gress to leave the question of pay
ment to their new friend, the inter
state commerce commission, and the
senate has so voted.
The fight will now be taken to the
house, which has approved the space

THE KING'S COURIERS.
England's "Silver Grayhounda" Have
Hard Work and Poor Pay.
The most exciting Job that can- be
held In the United Kingdom is that of
king's messenger. Ho is charged with
the delicate and in war time dnnger
ous duty of carrying Important state
papers In cases when it would be ei
ther unwise or Impossible to use the
telegraph or the postal service.
During war the king's messenger has
nearly as difficult a tusk as has the
dispatch rider, wbo is actually at the
front. lie must be conlinunlly on pie
lookout for spies, and it is quite within
tbo probabilities that the steamer on
which he Is traveling may be stopped
by an enemy vessel and bis valuable
papers tuken from him. .'
Owing to tlie fact that they wear a
badge consisting of a silver greyhound
surmounted by a crown, king's mes
sengers are nicknamed "silver grey
hounds," and Indeed they often have
to imitate that breed of dog in swift
ness and sureness of scent. To qualify
for a meB8engershlp many things are
needed. The candidate must be a man
of first rate education, of excellent
family and a good linguist. j.
Considering the qualifications re
quired, the salaries of tho "sliver grey
hounds" are by no means large. The
foreign service messengers receive re
muneration ranging from $1,250 to $2,.
000 a year, while those employed on
home service get from $050 to $1,225 a
year. Philadelphia ledger.

Taking the New Keenan Play
' Hazardous, though interesting, ex
periences encountered while climbing
to the summit of one of California's
highest peaks were narrated this week
by Director Reginald Barker of the
Triangle-Inee forces upon his return
to the Culver City plant from Mount
Ualdy, wnere ne wem wiui
company to film some scenes for the
current play in which Frank Keenan
is starring. The story under produc
tion is an unusual mining- ur..ma ur
Lanier Bartlett. Those who accom
Rnrlmr nnil Keenan on the trip
included Enid Markey, who is playing
the big feminine role, KODert iiimun,
J P. Lockney, Leo Willis, J. H. Nobel,
Assistant Director Elliot Howe and
Ciimeraman Charles Kauffnvvn.
The first thrill was furnished by an
accident to one of the burro.5. Assistant-Director
Howe was astride the an
imal and was preceding slowly up the
'winding grade when it missed its foot
ing and toppled ever the edge. Howe
jumped to safety in time, but the
burro continued to roll down the
mountainside for a distance of 300
'feet. Then while the other members
of the company watched in awe Howe
,iDoo,ioi nff-pr his mount, recovered
it and led it back to the trail.
Farther up the trail an almost in
surmountable obstacle presented itself
in the 'shape of a boulder which
weighed, according to Barker's esti
mate, more than three tons. It had
rolled from a higher point and em
bedded itself firmly in the trail. The
combined strength of the men in the
party was required to dislodge the
obstruction.
Arriving at the summit, which is a
distance of seven and a half mibs
from the base, Barker and his aids
'went to work on the construction of
a cabin for use in tho story. T".ough
eight men contributed help to the
work, it required an entire day.
In all Barker filmed 147 scenes dur

was necessary. Despite his severe in
juries, it was stated at the hospital
last evening that his chances for re
covery are very favorable.
Shortly after the accident William.
Green of Haines, en route to Baker
fin his car, passed the scene. The un
fortunate young man was taken into
the auto and a hurried trip made to
the hospital.
The injured man's parents are now
in Missouri, having been on a several
weeks' auto tour. They were noti
fied by wire of their son's accident
and are expected to return home at
once.
