When the Butterfly picture with the curious title, '"49-'17" comes to the Star theatre today only the vil llan of the piece will be played by the actor who took a promlnont part In the first motion picture ever made on Danish coll.. Ttys IS Jean Her Bholt. , Hersholt plays tho role of "Gentleman Jim" Rayner in the pres ent picture; which Is a story of the attempted reconstruction of the ty pical mining camp of the days of the Forty-niners. "Gentleman Jim" tries to "come back" as tho real thing, and very nearly succeeds after a series of adventures which make a corking good picture. STORY OK ADVHNTl'HH AND HOMANt'Ji! TOMORROW. Tho rather unusual sotting of an opal mine on an Island off tho Coast of California is tlio locnlo of the But terfly picture, "Flame of Youth," starring Jack Mulhall, which will bo seon at the Star theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday. Following Is a brief synopBls of the story: Old man Gordon had never seen nnv reason to reeard his happy-go- iiiir-b-v nnpnilthrlft Him as an asset In business until his clerk told him one morning about how that same son had cleaned out a certain resort of pugilists tho night before. Now you know what the Btory book fatberB would have thought of that. Klght here Is where most authors pull that "nover-darken-my-door-agaln" stuff. But In "The Fire of Youth" It is all so unexpected. Instead of casting Jimmy off, Dad sent him to find out why so few'opals were being. Beno to him from his rich' opal mine on an Island off Lower California. And he told him to tnke the Bix o'clock train. Now Jimmy was engaged to a so cloty butterfly who had a hankering after a title and she was not peeved at all that Jimmy was leaving her In the monocled society of a no-account count. But Jimmy was to get sev eral Jolts on the ls;and which made a fly bite out of his sweetheart's In difference. And the least of all was when the man who was taking him to the island hit him on the head j with a monkey wrench and tumbled him into the bay. Oh, boy! That started something and you won't Bleep nights until you see the finish. Eugene Challenges La Grange For Title THE EMPIRE CAFE R. C. Crawford, Prop. Fresh Oysters in Any Style HOURS 6 A.

Buehler, a resident of La Grande for over 24 years and yard master In the (ocal yards for the Bame length of time, probably holds the record on the Union Pacific sys tem for length of service as a yard master for continuous service on one division. , Yardmaster Buehler was born In Louisville, Ky., and started railroad ing In East St. Louis, running a switch engine there for ten years for the B. & O. railroad. He then worked for the G. N. R. R. curing the construction of that road be tween' Spokane and Seattle, coming to La Grande in 1894 as yardmaster. At that, time General Superintendent J. Buckley was chief dispatcher of the road on this division. ; , During Mr. Buehler's 24 years of service on this division the traffic of the road has enormously increased, the size of the engines and the e.-ze and number of cars hauled has 'peon largely Increased and Incidentally his salary by successive Increases, cor responding with the Increase and Im portance of this division point has also gradually worked up until to day he is receiving a little more than double the salary he started at In 1894.
