those big war dramas. It is a
two reel production, and is
very exciting. “The Toymaker"
will come in for it's share of
favorable mention, Fred Pur
inton will sing one of those old
songs, there is plenty of com

rounds out a good bill. Sat

MISS TAKU OF JAPAN
Is the title of a very interest
ing film at the Grand theater
to-night, it. is the story of a
rich man in Japan and all the
way through there is a greal
similiarfy to the story embrac
ed in Puccini’s world renown
opera “Madam Butterfly”.
“Gross Your Heart” is a
drama with a moral and while
it is not full of melodramatic
it holds your attention through
out the picture. “Jim Bently’s
Adventure” is an average film
story and “Trying tofveep Bed
ellia” is one of those rare com
idies. On Saturday afternoon
we are going to run a special
matinee at 2.30 p.m. for the
purpose of giving all who are
interested in curios an oppor
tunity of examining some
genuine Navajo, Apache, and
Mexican articals. To one who
has never seen the work of
these people, or who never ex
pect to, this is a rare and gold
en opportunity to educate them
selves along this line. Chil
dren in school studying the
lands and habits of people of
the southern part of the U. S.
and ladies who want the prv
ilage of seeing some Navajo
blankets, baskets, beadwork
and pottery some uncut tur
quoise, topaz and other curios
from Mexico will do will to
visit us at this time. The ex
hibition will be held on the
stage after the matinee next
Saturday afternoon at the
Grand Theater. adv.

Washington, Oct. 10—Presi

the cavalry in camp near this

cavalry ever assembled in this
country since civil war times.

Washington, Oct. 10—There
seems to be little enthusiasm
on the part of the Post Office
department when the matter
of taking over the Alaska cable
is mentioned. At present the
postoffice is being run at a
profit and there is no desire to
take on additional work which
at best cannot be expected to
break even. Sooner or later it
is generally conceded the posl
al department or some other
branch of the government spec
ially organized for the business
must take over the telegraph
and telephone lines of the na
tion, but the post office wants
it turned over to some other
department as they say it is
not in their line. On this ac
count there seems to be little
likelihood of any change at the
present time.
