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. -

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

"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. A.
