ten points on each side of the vessel,
gamely, from right ahead to two
points abaft the beam on either side.
The glass or lens shall be of not less
than the following dimensions:
Class Two. Nineteen square inches.
Class Three. Thirty-one square
inches.
Second. A white light aft to show
all around the horizon.
Third. On the starboard side a
green light so constructed as to show
an unbroken light over an arc of the
horizon of ten points of the compass,
so fixed as to throw the light from
right ahead to two points abaft the
beam on the starboard side. On the
port side a red light bo constructed
as to show an unbroken light over an

Section 7. That a fine not exceed
Ing one hundred dollar* may be Im

The motor boat shall be liable for the
said penalty and may be seized and
proceeded against, by way of libel, in

for any district wthln which such
vessel may be found.

Virginian Tonight
ITobably no novel ever written Is
better adapted for the movies than
"The Virginian.” which will be shown
at the Empress tonight. Every place
It has been shown, crowded houses
have greeted this production.
The Virginian (so called from his
native state) Is a free lance cowboy.
Securing n job at Bear creek, his hap
py disposition and amiability soon
earn him a host of friends. He meets
Steve, an old friend and former bunk
•
ran . - ' ' ..
mate; mutual admiration draws them
to each other; together, Steve and
the Virginian perpetrate many practi-j
cal jokes. During one of these pranks
the Virginian encounters Trampas, the
local bully and bad man, and the Vir
ginian makes him "back down."
Deciding to open a school, the cat
tlemen send east for a teacher, and
Molly, a trite, lovely Vermont miss,
comes via the overland stage. The
Virginian rescues Molly from the
coach after the drunken driver wand
ers off the trail. At a barbecue the'
Virginian proposes to Molly, but is er
Jected. Trampas, who has made vile
comments on Molly, is forced by the
Virginian to eat his W’ords.
Steve Joins Trampas and his cattle
thieves. The Virginian is selected by I
the cattlemen to hunt down and ex
terminate the marauders. Steve and
Spanish Ed are captured and. despite
the Virginian's fondness for Steve,
stern duty compels him to dispose of
them by the western method, and
Steve and Ed are hanged. Trampas,
!
who escaped the posse, roaches an j
Indian camp, and incites them to kill
his enemy. The Virginian is severely
wounded and left by the Indians as
dead. Molly finds the Virginian, takes
him to her cabin, nurses him back to
health and promises to marry him.
The Virginian hears that Trampas is
again in camp and threatens his life.
Seeking Trampas out, they meet in
the street, a duel begins and, after
Trampas has paid the penalty, the
Virginian and Molly take up the
thread of their dreams in peace.

ka Steamship Company, arrived from
