40.M7 AT STAR TODAY ONLY.
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.

T. E. Rueliler Holds Record with 24
Years at Same Jb on Hnme
Division. 1
T. K. 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.
