 Part of an elephant tusk and some of the other bones of the ani- nal were uncovered and few of the parts fitted together. All the bones were found buried six feet deep or more. After a picnic lunch the diggers heard speeches by pro- fcssors. D. c. Livingstone, professor of geology said that at one time the Cascades merely projected out of the Pacific Ocean, and that there was water where the Willamette Valley now is. Later by volcanic eruption the Coast range was formed causing the depression now the Will lamette Valley. At one time this country was covered with glaciers from Puget Sound to California, which accounts for the great variety of rocks found

In a story of the western coun-
try that is said to furnish him
splendid opportunities for his best
work, Buck Jones, the, sensational
Fox star, will be seen on the screen
Of the Colonial theatre today and
tomorrow in "Just Pals"
This story is from the pen Of
John McDermott, and judging from
advance reports the star has a real
surprise in store for his many fol-
lowers. Fierce action and stirring
romance lead up to a climax that
should be a "corker" on the screen.
Jane Novak, with her cameo-like
beauty never appeared to better
advantage than in 1.-THE Golden
Trail" which comes to the Colonial
theatre Sunday. She first plays the
role of the most popular girl in the
college town. and later as the faro

TO SINCE A CHICKEN.

A better way to SINCE a chicken
than the old-fashioned one of a
twisted paper lighted-which is
dangerous to hand and house-is
to pour a little wood alcohol in
a saucer, light it, and SINCE your
chicken at your ease. 1t is easy
enough. to have a small bottle of
alcohol on hand, once the method
has been tried.
Another use for wood alcohol is
to remove white spots from var
nished tables or other furniture; a
quick rub does it. Care must be
taken, however, to make the rub
quick. lest the alcohol have time to
act on the varnish.
