had been packed by a majority Of

A diamond unmount-

to most thorough and

You can place it under

But anyone with nor

to know, beyond the

what you are getting.
Then, as an artist Sc

we will help you select
a mounting that will

about Democratic victory at the polls
In November. So Il scarcely seems
wise for the Democrats to shrug of
the desertion of party in these West
ern States.
II the election in November leaves
to the Democrats only the solid South
with the party running behind the
La Toilette Wheeler ticket in West
ern and some Of the Northern States
as 1t is now claimed will be the case,
the future of the party may well be
at stake.
Attack Differs To-day.
In 1912 the Republican party
dropped from it's big victory of four
years earlier to an insignificant place.
The party ticket received the cleo
toral votes of only two States. Utah
and Vermont, and in popular vote
the Republicans were third. Four
years later the Republicans had got
ten together again and probably
would have won had II not been for
the war and peace question and the
mistakes made by political leaders in
California. In 1920 the Republicans
were swept into power again. A
speedy recovery, but the attack upon
Democratic ranks today Is different
thing from what happened to the Re-
publicans in 1912. In that year the
Republican party simply divided into
two wings, which later came together
again.
1t may be that the Democrats will
move greatly forward in the next
few weeks. II that is so, then the
danger Of party obligation will be
avoided. but If the Democratic party
does run third in many of the States.
as II Is now asserted II will. then the
leaders will have a Herculean task
on their hands thereafter. One thing

ENOUGH LUMBER FOR
 FIFTY COTTAGES IN
 MAMMOTH REDWOOD

GRANTS PASS, Ore. Jan. 31.- A mammoth redwood, measuring twen- ty-three feet across the butt and sev- enty feet in circumference, was cut this week in the Redwood forest near Crescent City, Cal, on the Redwood highway. according to word brought here today. The tree, which was 300 feet tall, was the largest ever cut by the sawmill operating in that vicinity. It will furnish 250,0OO l.ct Of lumber enough to keep the mill running for three days and it will furnish a cargo for two steamers of the size now oper- ating in the Criscent City harbor. It is pointed out that fifty cottages, each containing 5000 feet of lumber could be erected from the lumber cut from this single tree.
 Two men labored seven days to bring the giant to earth. They were forced to make a double undercut the vertical measurement of which was ten feet
 This is one of the "big" trees of the Del Norte county forests. Some stil standing are greater than the one 1 here mentioned.

WASHINGTON ONCE WAS
 ROAMED BY CAMElS

SEATTLE, Jan. 31.-Animals pecu- liar to Asia at this day once had their home where Washington state lies, ac- cording to a statement of Marcus A. Hanna, instructor of geology at the University of Washington, published today.
 The statement followed the news that an exploration party of the uni versity had found bone seeming to have come from a leg of a camel and to be 5OO,OOO years old. The bone was obtained near Wenatchee, in Ea- stern Washington.
 Nothing unusual in that MT. Han na said. "The camel was an Amer ican beast and inhabited this contin' ent for thousands, perhaps millions of years before he emigrated to Asia by way of the Boring strait"
 Trevor Kincaid professor of biolo' gy of the university, bore out MT Hanna. Similar bones have been found in the John Day beds in Ore. gon, but I believe the bone found al Wenatchee is that of procamelus, an early camel form found extensively or this continent" he declared.

ANcIENTS NOT PARTICULAR AT
 KING TUT'S TOMB

LUXOR, Egypt, Jan. 30.-The news paper correspondents today paid the usual fortnightly visit allowed them to the tomb of Tutenkhamun and spent half hour examining the re markable joinery of the Pharaoh's gi- gantic sepulchre as far as Howard Carter's work of dismantling the structure has revealed the various caskets.
 MT. Carter was perched on the el- aborate scaffolding which has been erected about the canopy, planning the next steps. He drew the atten- tion of the correspondents to the many evidences of nasty or careless work on the part of the joiners or caretakers who thirty centuries ago bv the light of smoky lamps assem- bled the four shrines about the great crystalline sarcophasus contain ing Tutenkhamun's mummy.
 On the golden entablature of the second shrine, the lintel above the doors and below the curvature of the cornice, are marks left by the copper chisels or levers of the ancient car penters as they eased the lintei into nlace. and at the corner are bruises in the golden gesso-plasCer on "oo' made bv the hammer of some con sciousless workman who headlesS' battered the side of the shrine into DO sition.
