INDIANS GIVING UP MoCcAsrN

Because of a scarcity of proper leather from which to manufacture footwear, and the availability of store shoes, Indian moccasin making will soon be lost art.
 Throughout the Northwest the fringe-bordered and bead-bedecked In. dian moccasin is rapidly being substi- tuted by the white mans shoe. The high-laced shoe Is a favorite with both sexes. For hunting and fishing the 1921 warrior" prefers hobnailed knee-high logger's boot.
 The aboriginal moccasin fabric was mouse hide for cold weather In the Northwest; buffalo hide with the hair on for winter on the plains; buck. skin for all general purposes, and later on beef hide in place of the disappearing skins.
 In one fabric of the other were distinct tribal models with historical events drawn in bead work. The Crow, Sioux and Blackfoot Indian shoes possessed hard rawhide sole to ward off stubby grass and pebbles.
 In the snowy regions of the north- west the moccasin had soft soles that would admit of the use of the snOw- shoe.
 Tourists who have been searching for various makes of moccasins de- clares some of the Northwest tribes have entirely eliminated moccasins. That the historic shoe of the Amer ican native may not become extinct the University of Washington will at tempt to collect specimens of moo casins as made by every aboriginal tribe on the North American conti- nent. An expedition has left to be- gin the collecting of the footwear.

LARGEST TREE CUT
 ON FOREST RESERVE

The following record of perhaps the most perfect and largest tree cut on the U. s. forest reserve has been sent to the local forest office from Washington:
 "One of the largest and most per- feet fir trees ever felled in Washing ton was recently cut at Kapowsin and turned into lumber by local mill. The tree stood more than 300 feet high and seven 32 foot logs were cut below it's branches. These logs were of diameter of nine feet and weighed PTS tons. They were worth s3,000 in the rough and first grade flooring obtained from them will sell for several times that sum. Experi- enced loggers who saw the tree de- clare it was the most perfect they had ever seen. It was very straight and each log was devoid of pitch pockets, knots and other blemishes. The great tree was felled without breaking or damage of any kind" the report says.

 In bringing "The Four Horsemen" to Flagstaff, Miss Costigan is confi- dent she has secured the worlds greatest motion picture, as Yale col- lege, press, pulpit and public the country over have unanimously pro- claimed it the screens crowning achievement. Ministers have made it the subject of sermons; Yale college gave Rex Ingram, the director, a bachelors degree of arts as a reward for his achievement; critics have classed it as "the standard by which all feature productions have been judged;" and the public has paid tribute to it's merits the country over, in the form of capacity attendance at each performance.
 Produced at a cost exceeding the million dollar mark, and boasting a cast of 13,000 people, headed by Ru- dolph Valentino and Alice Terry, this multi-reel-made-in-America spectacle is said to mark another milestone Tn

It having come to my at tention, gives me chance to tell for the first time how in an earlier con- spiracy Ali tried to ruin me. He had heard of our promptness in paying the claim above alluded to and had us write a $50,000 policy on his life. Shortly afterward under some pretext or other he gained access to the roof of our building in Holbrook and jumped off. He had fallen six stories before my office boy caught site of him and reported it to me. realized that I must act quickly. Thrusting my head from my window, shouted: "Hey, Ali! There's fellow on the roof with a bottle of Sunnybrook looking for you!" Ali checked his fall just before he reached ground and returned at once to the roof. can celed his policy that day.

the forward trend of the silent drama, as it contains sets and ensembles never before registered by camera lens. Every incident of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's great book has been transplanted to the screen exactly as it was written, by a cast that lives, rather than acts, the parts. The night life of Julio, the puppy love affair of Rene and Chichi, the influence of the four horsemen over humanity - all have been visualized to the nth degree of perfection in this modern miracle of motion pictures.
 Drama, comedy, pathos, heart inter est, suspense, thrills and action make of "The Four Horsemen" a perfect picture for the masses and the classes "a film masterpiece that will live forever. It will be shown here for three performances only. There will be one evening show each day at 5, and a matinee Saturday only at 8 o'clock. A few seats are being re- served for all performances.

By the time he had hit the pavement the banker had telephoned the mans wife that her husband had fallen out of 8 ten-story window and there was $6,- 900 to her credit at the bank. Del said that when the people found out how prompt his company was in pay- ing claims he had to put on two ex- tra clerks to keep up the business"
