Invariably the best things are made by someone who refuses to make anything else. There are many.good coffees--but the best is apt to come from those who refuse to make anything but the good. That happens_to be Schilling--the only coffee roaster in America who refuses to produce cheap, cof - e 1 Coffee fee even for those Schilling g s who are content with it.

The added attraction is the second chapter of “The Lone Defender,” featuring Rin Tin Tin. “Ten Cents a Dance,” with Bar- ! bara Stanwyck and Ricardo Cortez in the leading roles, will top the bill to be given at the midnight matinee tonight. Arabian Music Is Puzzle “The Cohens and the Kellys in Africa” afforded Murray an oppor- tunity to learn that while: Arabian music may not sound much of any- thing to American ears, only rare artists can play the native Arab instrument. Murray, while making “The Cohens and Kellys in Africa,” became fascinated with the music of an Arabian orchestra used in the picture. Somewhat of a musi- cian himself he attempted to fath- om the strange chords of the stringed instruments and blow a semblance of a tune from the reed pipes. However, he found that the drum alone could respond to hif influence. “I can play a drum in any lan- guage,” was his comment. Thrilling Desert Storm “The Lone Defender,” portrays a its sequences. Rin Tin Tin, his mistress and several riders are trapped by the storm. It's a new thrill to see Rinty fight his way through. In “Ten Cents a Dance,” there is a strange situation. First the heroine wanted the hero for a; husband, then when she had him she wanted to get rid of him. Was it the fault of this modern girl, of the husband, or the condi- tions under which they lved? 90-MILE CANAL OF ARID REGION Forty - Year - Old Dream Is Coming True in One Texas County EAGLE PASS, Tex., Oct. 2—With a dozen huge excavating machines and scores of motor trucks, a small army of engineers and workmen is making a 40-year-old dream .come | true for Maverick county, Texas. In a little more than a year one-third of a 90-mile canal, des- tined to transform 82,000 acres of semi-desert land into a rich farm- ing area, has been completed. Fed by waters of the Rio Grande which has been tapped 40 miles upstream from here, the fertile, slightly sandy soil of the bench- lands is expected to produce al- most every variety of fruit and vegetable that can be grown in a temperate or semi-tropical climate. Planned for Decades Since before the Boer war, when Capt. P. W. Thomson had a survey made and went to England in an attempt - to get financial backing for the project, the canal has been the hope of the countryside. ‘After previous unsuccessful at- tempts, it is now being financed through the sale of waterpower rights to an electric company. The Central Power and Light eompmy has agreed to pay ”0000 a year for 10 years and $175,000 & year for the next 30 years for 1= these rights, sufficlent to retire O R R AT TR AR the $6,000,000 worth of bonds issued to pay for construction. Town Enjoys Boom It is ‘estimated that 1,000 cubic feet of water a second falling a horsepower. for : the company. Meantime Eagle Pass, only city in Maverick County, is beginning to enjoy its long-delayed boom. An application to build an 80- mile railway line is pending; work is going forward on a highway to Laredo, last gap in the El Paso- Brownsville road; and three coal mines, long abandoned, are being re-opened. NEW DISTRICT DEPUTY § NAMED ; ALASKA ELKS| To the, position ol Deputy, Grand [ = Exaulted Ruler for Alaska, of the Benevolent and Protective Order INITIATION OF FROSH TONIGHT FREE TO PUBLIC Class Exe—r;;es‘ an | High School Gymnasium to Be Followed by Dance i Young men and women just starting to tread the path to ad- vanced learning will be introduced to its labyrinthian ways this eve- ning. Freshmen initiation exercises will be held in the High School gymnasium. They will begin at 8:30 o'clock and continue one hour. At their conclusion, the floor will be given over to dancing—not for the purpose of demonstrating to enter- ing classmen that terpsichorean grace is a curriculum requirement but in order to. affard everybody present a joyous diversion, as well as to augment the student treas- ury, for while the initiation will: be free to the public, the dance will entail a small charge to partiel- pants. Seniors Must Be Smart As may be surmised, Seniors, who have spent three years in high school, assume they are smart tal ingenulty, for R. 8. Raven, sup- erintendent ‘ot public schools, frowns'on slapstick camedy develop- ed by the exercise of physical en- dowments. “We're not worrled about our in- tellectual superiority and resource- fulness,” said Elmer Lindstrom, president of the Senlor Olass. “We can think ; faster and straighter than Freshmen. That insures lols of fun at their cxpense for specta- tors at the free show tonight.” Anxiops to Learn More “We're not flurried, nor subject to inferiority complex,” declared his brother, Carl Lindstrom, president of the Freshman class, “We're anx- ious to be told and shown how to learn more. than we know, but if in the telling or the showing in- dignities are imposed on any of my classmates I car pull stuff out- side of school on the president of the Senior Class that will make him realize his education has been neglected in. many essential par- ticulars.” The Serenaders’ Orchestra has been engaged to play for the dance that will follow the Freshman ini- tlation. e —— MRS. GEORGr PRTERSON AND DAUGHTHR ARRJVE Mrs. George Petersen -and her daughter, Mrs. Nick . Trierschield, both well known Sitka residents, arrived here yesterday to . spend some time.

In the sec- ond inning, with one man down, Muartin doubled to deep centerfield He stole third base and scored a| moment later when Wilson drove a long fly to-eenter. The. fleet, young centerficlder's secand tally was even more sensa- tional. He led off in the seventh with a single past third base into left fleld, After Earnshaw had two straight strikes on Wilson, Card catcher, “Pepper” tore down the baseline for second and slid safely into the sack ahead of Cochrane's throw for his second pilfered base of the game and third of the serles.

Jackie’s First Talkic In “Tom Sawyer,” Jackie Coogan, after appearances in 15 silent films, is heard for the first time on the talking screen. It is his first appearance in films, talking or silent, for three years. “The Man Who Came Back"” is a love romance replete with tense situations. Miss Gaynor and Far- rell will be seen at their best. Road to Paradise “The Road to Paradise” is a new sort of crook melodrama. The role, or rather rbles played by Miss Young are outstanding. She is a feminine “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyd2" in the plot, although neither is an unsympathetic part. The dual role is her first, and either part alone would represent one cf the most difficult she has yet attempted. “Road to Paradise” is a First National and Vitaphone offering, based on the lively story by Hugh Herbert. William Beaudine directed. close for the expected squeeze play. Martin was off with the ball and slid across the plate with the sec- ond and final run of the game. Foxx, who fielded the bunt, threw home but Martin was already there. Bottomley Stars Defensively Bottomley, Card first sacker, star- red defensively on three occasions, and Hallahan was given brilliant support by the entire team. In the sixth inning, Cochrane, one of the A’s most dangerous batters, lifted a foul fly toward the wall back of first. Bottomley picked it off the top of the stadium wall after a hard run. foul fly toward the Athlatics' dug- out and “Sunny Jim" captured it in front of the dugout. But his most sensational catch came in the ninth when the bases were full with two men out. Bishop's !foul sailed over toward the bench used by the Athletics for their warm-up pitchers. Bottomley sprint- ed after it and grabbed it out of the air. In making the catch he fell sprawling over the bench but held onto the sphere, ending the game. Earnshaw Hurls Well George Earnshaw, Mack’s right- handed ace, hurled a brilliant game and was given perfect support. The Cards enly got six hits off him, half of what they collected off Grove in Thursday's game, ‘but Martin's blinding speed on the bases was too much. Three of the St. Louis hits were two-baggers, made by Martin, Watkins and Prisch. Simmons robbed Frisch of an- other hit that might have béen good for three bases or more. In the eighth inning, the Card cap- tain smashed one of Earnshaw's fast balls on the nose headed for deep centerfield. Simmons after a @great run leaped into. the air and speared the ball as it was passing over his head. Machine Breaks Down The celebrated scoring machine of the Mackmen broke down before Hallahan's speed and curve balls. first five batters. Haas and Foxx got them, singles. Neither Stin- mons nor Cochrane could connect safely. " lEflfl(}UPINE WORK NDS FOR YEAR Superintend:l; Goes South After Successful De- velopment Work After a successful season in the Porcupine district back of Haines, L. A. Berry, superintendent for the Porcupine Gold Mining Company, is enroute on the steamer Admiral Rogers to spend the winter in Se- attle. Mrs. Berry went south last week. Some small cleanups were made on the property of the company during the season just ended, Mr. Berry said. However, the work this year was largely of development nature, preparatory to actual min- ing operations. Ditches were dug and flume lines placed in first class repair and other general development work done. The company now has suf- ficient ground developed and pros- pected to assure 12 years steady mining, it is said. — e Mrs. J. B.
