Rough and Ready" is certain to
score the instantaneous success
which greets every. photoplay In
which the mastely William Farnum
appears. The picture also Is notable
for the splendid company OF artists
supporting Mr.. Farnum; for the ad-
mirable direction by Richard Stan
ton, one Of the best directors IN NM
dom; for the beauty OF the superb
snowcap landscapes In the NORTH
land and for the extraordinary fine
photography of the subject.
Mr.. Farnum enacts the part OF
the stouthearted Bill Stratton, a
strict self-disciplinarian who is az
straightforward in his dealings with
others as he is with himself.
Rather than tell an untruth, ne
sacrifices himself to save the home
of a friend from disruption. De-
spite, or, perhaps because of his
heroic deed, his sweetheart, misunder
standing and bitter, jilts him. She
fancies that he has been unfa1thful
to her. =,
Stratton is stunned at first by the
force of this terrible blow to his nnest
feelings. He decides to seek solace In
the long, long trail in the Northwest,
where the keen. cold winds make one
forget all but the JOY Of living. The
arrival of the girl, Evelyn, in the lit
tie village of Yellow Gulch, In which
he stays; results in complications
forming the basis Of an absorbingly
interesting story. Stratton has to
fight as few have fought to clear his
name and win the vindication due
him. =,

NEWS OF THE THEATRES

there were number of other things
made known in advance of the pic
lures coming which contributed to
making the opening days crowds un-
usually large.
Local theatregOers were pleased
with the screen telling of the story OF
"Just Wife" by such we'll known
photoplay artists as Roy Stewart,
Kathlyn Williams and Leatrice Joy
and are also discussing the partic-
ularly artistic touches which have
been given the presentation under
the direction of Harry Rapf, man
ager of productions for National The
aires, Inc, in Los Angeles where the
picture was made.
Particularly, effective are the art
titles made by Frank Iamison,--a
young chap, who is said to have
been added to- the National stan
after his work in an entirely different
line. The backgrounds for the titles
are models in clay, which would do
credit to the average art exhibit.
Each one of them seems to have been
worked out with an attention to de-
tails which must have taken days of
time and in their entirety the titles
alone offer a splendid example of the
intelligence, money and care which
Is being expended these days in the
production of motion pictures.
The woman especially will like the
Marguerite Clark picture, "Easy to
Get," which is again occupying the
screen at the Elko theatre tonight,
and Tuesday, matinee and evening.
It is a sparkling comedy done in Miss
Clark's best light romantic vein.
Moreover, it is a salutary lesson for
cocky young men who think they are
demons among the ladies-and boast
Of it. =
Miss Clark has the role of win
some little bride just starting out on
her honeymoon. In the smoking car
her husband meets an old friend and
incautiously makes the remark that
all women are ''easy to get" OF
course, the bride overhears the re-
mark and resolves to administer a
lesson. Slipping of the train at the
next station, she steps into an excit-
ing and humorous series Of advent
ures, with Friend Husband pursuing
madly.
Droll and handsome Harrison Ford
as the husband has much to do with
making the picture all sunshine. The
inimitable Larry Semon also appears
in his latest feature comedy, "The
Fly Cop" at the Elko tonight and
tomorrow.

 ID BUILD BRIDGES

In compliance with a request from the Nenana Commercial club, for warded to the upper town some time ago, the Fairbanks Commercial club has given it's support to the cam paign inaugurated for the immedi- ate construction of railroad bridges over the Panama and Nenana rivers, so as to insure through communica- ton with the coast by the time tracklaying has been completed.
 The Fairbanks club has taken the matter up in wire addressed to Chairman Mears, who is now in Washington. The wire follows:
 "Urge favorable consideration of proposition of Nenana Commercial club relative to early construction of bridges over Panama and Nenana rivers. We believe, with a bonus on gold and available coal for fuel, mining activities of this region will be so stimulated that benefit to railroad in increased revenues will offset any added expense incurred by bringing bridge material via the rover route, instead of over rail- road as now proposed" ... .:

RED MEN INSURANCE.

Despite popular belief that the civilization forced upon him by the white man means his ultimate ex- tinction, the North American Indi- an, reviving from a long period of decadence, has shown such substan- tial increase in population in recent years that he probably is scarcely less numerous today than when Co lumbus discovered America.
 Startling as this assertion may be to those who have pictured Ar1erl, can forests in the discovcrer's time as swarming with red men, it is freely advanced by experts of the Governments Indian bureau, who maintain that the Indian necessarily formed an exceedingly scant porula- tion, which probably at no period thSeGdSu lllt tOldl Ol io- ans reported by the bureau for last year.
 "The Indian no longer is to be thought of as a dying race," de- clared Dr. Lawrence W. White, an Indian authority of the bureau. ''In support of that statement : it is necessary, in the first place, to dis abuse the public mind of the tradi- tion handed down by discoverers and early colonists that American forests in their day swarmed with the dusky figure of the red man. As the Indian neglected agriculture almost completely, it is highly i'm probable that this country, consid, ering it's latitude, could have sup ported more than several hundred thousand of his race"
