Douglas Fairbanks returns to the Hip to delight Phoenix picture fans for to- day and tomorrow in his tremendous Paramount success, "A Knickerbocker Buckaroo.''
 Doug" is invincible in this story. Breezy, fast and rollicking in action, it gives the screens most accomplished athlete a story in which he fits with all the nicety of the thorough artist. The story, as indicated in the title. is a merging of the eastern man and the western methods, and in such a plot who could be better chosen than Doug las Fairbanks. If you saw Wild and Woody you know that Doug" can get out of study of this nature. and when the statemtn si made that "A Knicker- booked Buckaroo" is a greater tri- umph than the former well remem- bered picture. the picture fan knows that an exceptional entertainment is in store for him.

A room mate of Representative Carl Hayden when at Stanford university, pr. Henry Suzzallo, president of the university of Washington, is in Phoe- nix for few days, renewing old ac- quaintances.
 D-. SuZzallo sat in the lobby of the Hotel Adams yesterday afternoon and talked enthusiastically of his work in that large institution and of the great progress it has made in the last five years. Specialization is Dr. Suzzallos s pet hobby, specialization in college work, and on this subject he is bub- bling over with plans and ideas. Lum- beFing and fishing are two great in dustries surrounding the university of Washington and therefore. much at tention has been given these subjects according to the president.
 We have a forestry department sec ond to none in the United States" said pr. Suzzallo. Everything is taught. from milling to marketing. and we turn out more expert forestrymen than any two colleges in the country There were salrpon fishers and canne.s in Seattle, but not enough people with technical training to carry the work forward
 Think of all the various angles of fishing, saIting, drying, packing, ship ping, marketing. Think of the many countries that use fish to the exclusion

The blind girl knows from his speech that he is un- ocuth, but visualizes him a big, hand some fellow.
 To Sim the marriage is a grim irony of fate, and from a hidden nobility within his crude exterior he respects his wife and refuses to kiss her, leav- ing that to Dr. Barnes a young, hand some practitioner at the power com pany's plant, who believes that he can restore Maryis eyesight. Knowing that Mary's first glimpse of him will lose her to him. Sim consents to the operation, though he loves her

San Juan Mines
-Resuming Their
Operation

Friday evening Mr.. C. D. Rankin
returned from Guaymas and a trip up
the Gulf of California to the San
Juan mines, where he went with Mr..
Charles Thompson, who is one of the
lessees of the property, which they
are arranging to start again, after a
dozen years of idleness.
These properties, which are about
seven miles in the interior from Los
Angeles bay, in Lower California, are
rich in silver and have yielded a great
deal of bullion. They are connected
with the mill, at the bay shore by a
Hallidie aerial tramway.
In former years the San Juan
mines were owned by Cranz Brothers
of Nogales, and DR.. F. Plank of
Guaymas, all deceased, Doctor Plank,
who died at San Jose, California,
having been the last to go. Cranz
Brothers were three, viz: Frank F.,
Charles and William Cranz. Frank
Cranz was mayor of Nogales, Ari-
IONA. All three were known well in
Arizona and Sonora Another broth
er, Harry Cranz of Chicago, still liv-
ing, has been secretary of the Dia-
mond Match Company more than
thirty years. In former years he
visited Nogales frequently.
Mr.. Rankin went to Los Angeles
bay with Mr.. Thompson to land sup
plies and provisions. Returning he
left Mr.. Thompson at the bay, where
there was a force of men and a
metallurgist, repairing quarters, ma
chinery, ETC., and making prepare
lions for resumption of operations.
When silver was at rs cents an
ounce the San Juan mines made
money. With the White metal away
up above on dollar, they will prove
very valuable.

While they eat or they drink booze
of any old kind
Like Little Bo Peep we've lost, our
sheep,
But we know where We'll find 'em.
Well leave 'em alone and they too
will come home;
But they won't leave their headaches
behind 'em.
They may think it's fun to go off on
a bun
And leave us good wives behind,
But when they get back-Alas and
aack!
Well neither be loving nor kind.
Let them banquet and dance, but
we'll get our chance
When they come trailing home in the
morning.
The reception they'll get, you can
wager and bet,
Will be to all husbands a warning.
They'll wish all their lives they had
stayed by their wives,
$50 faithful and true and all
that!-
And not junket away for week and
day
To carouse, or whatever you call
that.
They shall eat humble pie while
we're standing by
To tell them about all they have
missed
BY going away leaving us here to
play.
AT Auction or maybe Bridge Whist.
If we once get them guessing, they'll
soon be expressing
Regrets that they left us alone.
They'll surely be wishing, next time
they go fishing,
For present neglect to atone.
But, no matter what they do, take
this lesson home with you:
We refuse to be the goats again!
We will not stay at home while our
men go off to roam;
We can travel just as far as can the
men.
A gentle southern cline where it's
always summer time
Is what my health requires as we'll
as yours.
So We'll amble blithe and gay with
our husbands far away.
No more men only" goes regarding
tours.

A Novel Entertainment
Z Given BY Mrs. Gillespie
In Honor of Ladies Whose
Husbands Were On The
West Coast Excursion

On Wednesday evening during the
absence of our good men in Mexico,
Mrs. A. M. Gillespie entertained
few intimate friends in most unique
snanner at her charming home on
Crawford Street. The affair was
"take-off". in memory of our dear
departed, who were dancing merrily
with the fascinating and irresistible
Senoritas in Sinaloa. The invitations
were issued on mourning stationery,
and the invited guests, burning with
curiosity, arrived looking their best
in their widows weeds. The house
was appropriately decorated, black
and white being the color scheme.
From seven to ten, white footed
black cats roamed around the house,
meowing and adding weird notes in
keeping with the occasion. At a
table in the background sat few of
TIE ladies, trying to communicate
through "Ouija" with the spirits in
Mexico; and many were the amusing
questions, asked. The principal one
being, as my husband thinking of

hostess spoke few well chosen lines

absent husbands, and several of the
ladies received direct from the fed

Sonora, real kilograms of affection
ate greeting and cheering congratula-
ton that convinced all of the eff

At the conclusion of the Memoriam
Services (?) lights were turned on
and joyous music rendered by
Mexican orchestra pervaded the
atmosphere and brought back to

Refreshments were such as to delight
Inc most epecurean taste.
