Newspaper Page TextPay e Two THE 'EUGENE GUARD f RCUS ACT MAN IS SEIGE GUN SHELL r Fired bodily from the mouth of a nuge nen gun at each performance of the Hluslina brothers and Barnum and Bailey circua, to alight in a net 100 feet distant. That is the almost unbelievable feat of Huge Za echini, In his presentation of he. most thrilling ace eyer seen in America, ZacehinI has no rivals. Ha te the one and only original and it was he who invented and directed the building of the great cannon which is fir twice daily, sending forth its human missile. A veteran of the great World war. Zhcrhini conceived the idea of this miraculous performance, while serv ing in the artillery branch of the Ita lian army. Stalwart and courageous, he twice daily takes his very life in his hands and provides, a sensation which uo other man has ever equalled. That he feels no fear one can well be lieve after talking with the man, hut there is probably no other man in the world who would thus defy death. ' There is a flanh of fire, a roar which fills the tent, a huge puff of smoke and then this human projectile goes hurtling through the air while the thousands of spectators hold their breath until hu baa arisen from his net and gaily signnlled that once again he has completed with safety the seem 1 gly impossible. Nothing like it has ever been seen In America. Jt will provide topics of convolution for many days after the blf circus has gone on its way for it ia the greatest sensation ever brought to these shores. The singling brothers and Burn urn and Bailey circus, presenting Za ech ini and a thousand and one other fea t'lres, come to Eugene for two per formances next Friday. - " . j Phone 8. K.

ACTION SIU WILL BE DEMANDED A committee of the Eugene cham ber of commerce und a delegation from tho iJiuilaw valley wtlf appear before the state highway commiBuiun at its mcetiusr at iWiitnul Thursday, August 21), and demand immediate uctton toward construction of the iSiuulaw highway between Kn'nruck and Cushman. C. P. JJnrnard, county Judge! and Commissioners Clinton Hurd and O. E. Crowe, will bo at the meeting, and will urge that an understanding be met and work started. A large part of the dispute be tween the highway commiusfou and the railroad company for the en croachment of the track is over the type of bond that the company wants put up to indemnify itself from acci dents that might occur during con-, ntnietion. , The -state feela that it should not be called upon to furnlnh such Indemnity. .The question of who la to pay for the underground crossing at Cush man is another factor in the delay. The Southern Pacific says that It should not be forced to pay half be cause it ia giving tho right of way. The state highway commission then asked the county to pity half, but the county thought that improper. "We will urge that the state ac cept the bond as awkod by the com pany, and we will nUo offer to pay part o f I he Cost of th n'ros) n g , if we have to to get the road. We'll do anything that we can to get the road started," Commissioner Hurd said Wednesday afternoon, speaking for tho county cour Mrs. J. E. Roach Dies at 61 Years Mrs. J.

"The Wind" st the Colonial is a very artistic production as the result of the work Victor Seaatrom, the di rector, and Lillian (liib and Lars Hansen, very capable actora. The wind pleys a very important role and ia the foundation of the theme as t howls around corners, beats - ssnd against the window panes, laya trees low, blows up a terrific "norther" that causes wild horses to flock down the hills to the prairie in droves, teArs down houses In the form of a cyclone, drives women rnsd to such an extent that they perform inhuman .deeds, and then like a real white per son come8 to their aid and covera up their wrong doings. The picture is - a characterization of the, people in the wind countries of the prairies. It is raw and frank. Though the picture is bound to be a little slow moving on account of every characterization and emotion brought about by the lavish use of the cam era, this picture never legs as interest is kept to the height through the di rectorial genius of Victor .Seastroir.. He has supplied plenty of rich com edy to this picture and has kept It out of the depressing class. M.
