Shift Flour Mills 10 Southwest

MINNEAPOLIS with it's spring
Iva wheat area is slipping in the race
of the mill owners in the production
of flour and in place Kansas City and

loose on the, Blue Range, the very
few local settlers were apprised Of
the possibility that the elk might
do some damage to farm crops in
the vicinity should they multiply
rapidly, but there was practically
no opposition to placing them there
The farmers were enthusiastically
in favor of it, and when the elk ac-
tually arrived there was great
deal of interest evinced by the local
population. Sportsmen in the vi
cinity contributed toward the cost
of establishing the herd. 1t is eN-
peeted the elk will again become
sufficiently numerous there to furn-
ish Il certain amount of hunting
each fall to remove the surplus.
The elk liberated in the Blue
Range were brought from the lel-
lowstone National Park. When they
were liberated, each one had to be
dragged out of the truck with ropes,
but once in the open again, they
left at run for the high points
on either side of the canyon, ap-
pearing little the worse for the trip.
There were turned loose II grown
cows, two yearling heifers, one two
year-old and three yearling bulls.

Arizona Range

For Herd OF Elk

The Blue River Country OF Ari
Zona, where 40 years ago thousands
of elk ranged the hills, will once
more be the home of herd of these
handsome American big game ami
mails.
The Arizona State Game Depart
ment and the Forest Service and
Biological Survey of the United
States Department OF Agriculture
and local interests, have Just placed
herd Of % elk on the Blue Range
game refuge in the Apache Nation
al Forest.
Al one time the Blue River Goun-
try harbored thousands of elk, deer
and wild turkeys, and early settlers
tell of bringing back six mule-tcam
wagons loaded with elk Killed for
holiday fcasts With the entry Of
the eattlemen and settlers in the
country around the headwaters Of
the Blue and Little Colorado Rivers
in the early eighties, however, the
big game began to disappear. Sine"
the regulation of the ranges was
put into effect by the Forest Ser

last elk was killed in this region.
near Mount Ord in 1898.
Although the indians and settlers
did some hunting in the Blue Range,
il is believed the depletion OF the
ranges by dense stocking with cat
tie was the principal cause of the
determination of the elk.

Fashion Notes
From New York
BY HEDDA HOYT

NEW YORK. June l7.-Printed
chiffon froeks. preferably with
small geometrical or floral designs
will play an important part in the
summer wardrobe. Colors most ap
parent this year are blues. golden
browns and hennas, fushias and or
chids. The printed chiffon frock is
primarily an afternoon model, hav
ing long sleeves, and being simply
made except for front skirt fullness
or side drapory.
For cloth fr0cks nailheadS are the
very newest trimming. replacing in
way, beaded or silk embroidery.
Some of the imported twopieee mod
els have the entire bodice portions
studded with either silver or gilt
nailheads placed in floral or geo.
metrical designs. Felt hats with
brims outlined in nailheads or with
crowns embellished with naiihead'
are to be shown later on.
The large black hat Of hair OF
straw may be trimmed 50 as to bet
ter harmonic with the various col
ors of one s froeks by using several
narrow ribbons of various colors
shirred and joined together to form
the crown band. One large black
hair shape uses purple, rose, green
and yellow ribbon of narrow width
Joined together. This makes band
sufficiently wide, SO that it may be
used half on the crown and half on
the brim.
Printed bathing suits of cretonne
or light challis are shown by the
smartest Fifth avenue shops. They
are made in dress fashion being belt
ed at low waistline. 1t is thought
that most women will prefer these
printed suits or plain taffetas above
one piece types.

MEXICO COAST
STORM REPORTS
ENCOIJRA

NOGALES, Ariz., Sept. IA P-The
Associated Press tonight had re-
ceived encouraging reports from MAJ
allan, Sinaloa, regarding damage
along the northern section of the west
coast of Mexico by the hurricane
which for three days lashed the
Pacific ocean along coastline of
approximately 2,4O0 miles.
William p Blacaer, American con-
sui at Mazatlan late. today mesSaged
that no deaths had been officially
reported there, but that considerably
damage had been done to the resi-
dental district along the water front.
Reports earlier in the day stated
that the Hotel Belmar, overlooking
the Mazatlan sea wall, had been
damaged by water.
Guaymas and Mazatlan dispatches
placed the storm center and heaviest
damage at Manzanillo, Sinaloa;
Banderas, Jalisco, and Salina Cruz,
Oaxaca. The latter city was within
100 miles of the storms inception in
the gulf of Tehuantepec and under
normal conditions is isolated front
interior and other west coast points.
Two freighterS, reported missing out
of Mazatlan, had been accounted FOL
today, but a third steamer, the Boil
var, was believed to have been lost
at sea unless it weathered the terrific
gale that lashed the usually calm
waters off the Tres Marias islands,
which are about $50 miles south OF
Mazatlan.
The Jalisco was safe at Man
zanillo. according to the captain of
the port at Mazatlan, and "El Nava-
joa" was reported to have made
BanderaS. The harbor master could
give no details as to the damage to
either ship. A fishing fleet out of
Mazatlan- was still missing, although
it may have found succor in or near
the harbor of La Paz, Lower Cali
fornia.
A Mazatlan dispatch tonight said
the toll of life at both Salina Cruz
and Manzanillo was probably great
but added that precautions taken
by the military at both ports in
forcibly moving residents to higher
ground when the barometer dropped
suddenly last Wednesday had un-
doubtedly lessened the list of dead.
Most of those reported missing in
the SGTICkSu SGCblOll WSIG uNllAS III tklC
Bajas or low country, which was
inundated by the tidal wave that
accompanied the cyclonic winds. Ill
Manzanillo only q few dwellings were
left standing, the dispatch said, and
acute conditions were reported in the
wake of the hurricane. Manzanillo
has population of about 5000.
Salina Cruz has population of
about 10000 and is one of the most
modern of Mexican cities, although
isolated insofar as land communities
tionsis concerned. 1t has an excellent
harkpr.
Mazatlan Dispatches say that it may
be days before the death toll at Salina
Cruz is really known, and that reports
of damage and loss of life at this
time!i largely a matter of conjecture
The same dispatches state that
thousands of persons are homeless
along the coast of Colina, JaIisco,
Michoacan and Oaxaca states.
While local officials of the Southern
Pacific of Mexico railroad declaeed
that traffic over the main line would
be resumed late today, no word from
