UTOPIA DISCOVERED
SAY PRODUCERS OF
ITO THE LAST MAN.

Utopia has been discovered. That's
the opinion at least of the motion pic
ture designers. In the rugged hills
OF Arizona more than 200 persons
have been discovered who wear per-
iod costumes as every day clothes.
Armed with n lot OF costumes TO
dress local residents as pioneers OF
1880. Paramount's property and cos
tune men were amazed to discover
that the settlers looked even more
actor like than the real actors. From
high.heeied riding boots to sombre-
ros. each man looked as II he might
have stepped off a Broadway stage
where some pay Of frontier days
was being produced.
These men were used to give at
mosphere to the Paramount picture
ITO the Last Man." a Zane Grey
production which was filmed on the
original location in tho Tonic Basin,
Arizona and which to the
Rialto theater today. Victor Flem-
ing directed, and the feature players
are Richard Dix and Lois Wilson.

and amusing stuff that is hard to
rival.

when the Foll!es of 1929 make their
bow to the Casper public. Their

Miss Deans appearance in Drift
ing makes the film version inter
estlng to those who saw or read
about the play. for the heroine's
role is essentially dramatic and the
work of Dean has always been dram
attic and emotional. From what is
known Of the play It must make an
excellent screen vehicle for her.
Drifting is the story of a girl
who quit selling opium in Shanghai
because she was sick of the game
aud then was forced back into t by
the necessity for getting a chum out
of the country before she became
addicted to the habit. The heart of
China, mysterious and yelled In foSs
of the human past. Is stripped bare
for a moment TO show the secret Of
the nation's curse-the scarlet pop
py fields from whence comes the

Observations on the
Minnesota Election,

The most significant indication
of our recent senatorial election is
the disappearance of the, Demo
cratic party, which is rapidly be-
coming as negligible quantity in
the Northwest as the Republican
party in Mississippi. The Demo-
cratic candidate for United States
senator received less than five per
cent OF the total vote. The Demo
cratic party in state where ii
has during not long distant periods
controlled the state government,
disintegrated almost to the vanish
ing point. The party of Thomas

stage where it is going to have to

Indian Girls Aim,
California Student Does RouseWork to
Gain Doctor Of Medicine Degree.

With a physicians degree as
her goal, Miss Ellen Norris, .
fullblooded Klamath Indian, hsi
worked year after year. with her
hands as well as her brains, to ge,
an education. Miss Norris has
registered at the University OF
California for a premedical course,
ard will start on the last lap OF
the road that leads to the coveted
M. d. degree. The Indian girl
went to San Francisco from Eure
ka, where she graduated from
high school recently.
Ellen Norris, now % years old,
first went to school at the River
side district school in Del Norte
county, California. From there
she went to the Sherman Indian
Institute at Riverside, and then to
the Riverside Girls high school
for year. Her graduating year
was spent at the Eureka high
school The girl worked her way
through the latter part of the
grammer school, and all the way
through high school. She did
housework, and at the Sherman
institute took up a nurses course,
and completed the four years
lectures in two years.
1t was there that first decided
definitely to become a doctor, "
said Miss Norris. II liked the
nursing course, but l felt that that
would never satisfy me. That /
wanted to be a doctor. Ofcourse,
it was hard, doing housework all
the time in order to get an educa-
ton, but that was my only means
of getting one. And l believe
that all the worthwhile things are
worth working for"
During her four years at the
University of California Miss
Norris will work in private homes
and will receive a little aid from
the indian board.
Miss Norris is believed to be
the only Indian girl to ever try
for medical degree. The only
other known fullblooded Indian
physician was DR.. Carlos Monte
yuma, an Apache, recently de-
ceased, who for many years prac-
ticed his profession in the city of
Chicago.
