TH5 latest Issue of Screenland
News, Portland's home talent
news reel, vies for popularity
with "Courage," the feature picture
of the film programme at the Colum
bia. The Idea of making a film record of
interesting events in Portland each
week originated about two months
ago when A. C. Raleigh, manager of
the Columbia, was looking for a short
feature for his programmes. Raleigh
joined forces with Sandy, local pho
tographer, and enlised the services
of Zach Moseby, whose quaint and
humorous philosophy and stories are
printed each week in "Screenland."
Founded on a small scale. Screen
land News made a big hit and steadily
increases its following with each new
issue. The Equity Pictures corpora
tion arranged to book the reel
throughout the city and state, and it
is now shown in 90 per cent of the
Oregon territory.
Screenland News this week includes
scenes of the water carnival held re
cently on the Willamette, with the
first authentic pictures of the girl
"wing-walker," who performed such
daredevil stunts on a speeding aero
plane. Views of the damaged ship
"Effingham." Charles A. Skinner, surf
board champion, the latest fall styles
and human interest bits are shown
in the reel. The local reel has a
freshness and novelty' that are often
lacking in the big national news
weeklies.
"Courage," the feature picture at
the Columbia, is a dramatic story of a
woman's love and loyalty to her hus
band, who is sentenced, unjustly, to
life imprisonment. Naomi Childers
has the leading role and establishes
her ability as an emotional actress.
A "Toonerville Trolley" comedy also
is shown, and the Columbia picture
players contribute a pleasing musical
accompaniment to the screen bill.
Screen Gossip.

and Dorothy Gish. Griffith stars. Is

Johnny Ho;an Wins Close Decision
Over Ted Snyder In Seml
Wludup of Card.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 9. (Spe
cial.) Dave Shade, the Californian,
and Joe Simonich, Montana war vet
eran, the two leading aspirants for
Travie Davis' welterweight crown,
fought a slashing draw in the main
event of the smoker in the pavilion
here tonight.
In the seml-windup, Johnny Hogan
f Tacoma won a close decision over
Ted Snyder, the fighting marine, in
the light-heavyweight division. Owen
Roberts and Mickey Hannon, Seattle
lightweights, boxed a draw in the
epecial event.
With Simonich and Shade as prin
cipals, the main event was the best
bout of the night. Had not the Cali
fornian possessed so shifty a style of
battling. Simonich might have got
the lond end of the call, for' he
smashed against Shade with a dogged
determination throughout. At the
opening gong Simonich waded in with
both fists pumping, aiming for the
Shade breadbasket. In these rushes,
however, the Butte boy took several
cn the chin. In the second frame
the Californian showed his shifty
style by warding otr the Simonich
blows and pumping a tatoo of lefts
in the lattcr's face. His left hand
also scored in the third round, but
Sim got across several crashing lefts
nd rights.
Simonich evened up whatever ad
vantage Shade earned in the early
rounds by tangling toe and toe with
the Californian in the last round.
Both boys staged a pretty swatfest.
The fans applauded Referee Water
man's decision.

When the season opened young Kelly
of the New York Nationals loomed as big
In the home run calcium as Babe Ruth.
For several weeka young Kelly made a
homer each time Ruth did. Since those
early weeks we have not heard much of
Kelly but plenty of Ruth. The latter has
41 homers to date, not counting another
five he has cracked In exhibition games
that do not count in his league record.
Kelly has been going along but his homers
amount only to 14. Nevertheless, this boy
Kelly has been making good and while
he never will be the slam star that Ruth

can tell just when he will clout one out

The new broad Jump world record made
by E. O. Gourdln of Harvard of 25 feet
3 inches undoubtedly will withstand
attacks for many a year. The former
record, made by O'Connor, stood since
August 5, 1901, which is Just two weeks
Fhort of 20 years.
The two greatest broad Jumpers of the
last three years have been negroes. Sol
Butler, another famous negro broad
Jumper, at the inter-allied games at Paris
in 1919 got in an official Jump of 24 feet
1H4 Inches. Just half an Inch behind the
world mark held by O'Connor. Both
Gourdln and Butler are wonderful all
round athletes and both are good at l
number of other events besides their broad
jumping. Quite naturally they have phe-
nominal speed on the flat and both can
run the 100 and furldng in close to even
time, while Butler has beaten evens tn
the 220 yards more than once.
Immense Increase in Assessed
Valuations In 1921 Laid to Head
of American Metropolis.
NEW YORK Aug. 9. Mayor Hylan
was interrogated for nearly five
hours today by a legislative com
mittee investigating his administra
tion, but he disclaimed responsibility
for the enormous increase in the city's
debt since he assumed office. He
continually reminded the committee
that he was not the financial officer
of the city and took the position that
he could not be expected to be con
versant with details of its financial
problems.
Prior to the interrogation. Mayor
Hylan read a lengthy statement in
which '. he attacked the methods of
the committee, the legislation which
made it possible and declared that
"department for department. New
York would compare favorably with
the corresponding departments in any
city in the country."
Mayor Hylan was told by former
State Senator E. R. Brown, commit
tee counsel, that the city's debt ex
ceeded the constitutional limit by
J103.000.0-O0 for all purposes- other
than docks and rapid transit con
struction when he took office on New
Year's day. 1918. and that this ex
cess had swollen to l2o,ooo,uoa on
January 1 of this year. Over the
same period. Mayor Hylan admitted
in a general way. the temporary or
short-term indebtedness of the me
tropolis grew from $73,000,000 to
$195,223,000.
The mayor was not positive he had
taken a hand in. raising the assessed
valuation of real estate in New York
city from $842,000,000 in 1920 to
$997,000,000 in 1921. said to be the
largest increase in the city's history.
Possibly, he Baid. It was raised oy
his advice and counsel; he "did not
know" that he directed it.
The mayor will be recalled to the
stand tomorrow.

HI3TO!?y DF THE RED MAN SERIES
THE CAMPAIGNS OF QERONIMO
BY INDIAN - MILLER
The trail of the Indian in the Great South-.
tuest was a crooked trail in the olden days.
It led from water to water. In the present
day those trails would seem erratic and va
grant; for they twisted and turned and climbed,
regardless of direction, elevation, or distance.
The Indians knew of short-cuts; but these
were only used when time was pressing.
Then came the paleface. He cursed the
Indians and their bad, crooked trails; and laid
out wagon roads on easier grades. He did
not regard the watering-places so much ; for
he could haul water in his prairie schooners ;
but he did have to keep water in mind. He
also sought to shorten the distance con
siderably from place to place.
There are many reasons why the roads of
the paleface seldom followed that of the In
dian ; and one of the principal ones is that
paleface and Indian seldom went . to the
same place. But they could not avoid many
cf the same waterholes and springs.
So it was that Indian strategy often led to
water in time of war; and the thirsting pale
face was generally exercised to find a drink ;
i I ii "". 1 1 , ii i n ii .....
for he did not know other drinking places
as the Indian did.
It is said that each Indian killed in the
Geronimo campaigns cost the government
a million dollars. Few understood hou; that
mere handful of Apaches defied the LL S. and
Mexican armies for years. In the first place
the Apaches were hard to catch ; because
they-were swift travelers. We may say, how
ever, that the Apaches won by water; for
they knew how to control the supply. Also
their leaders were great strategists.
But the most important thing of all was
that they weresuperior on the bad trail, hav
ing far greater endurance than the paleface.
And, too, pursuing troops often had great
difficulty in extricating themselves from thirsty
places, for fleeing Apaches would leave a
warrior behind to befoul the water on the ap
proach of the pale face.
As the Indian of old was superior on the
bad trails because he trained to endure, so
Savage Cord tires are superior on the bad
trails today, for they are Built to Excel.

ED IX CHIHUAHUA.
President Obregon Is Asked to Ex
pel Chicago Financier as
Pernicious Foreigner.
EL PASO. Texas, Aug. 9. Warren
C. Spurgin, missing Chicago banker,
is under arrest at Chihuahua City.
Mexico. Chief of Police Hermoslllo
of Chihuahua today telegraphed po
ice authorities In Juarez that he had
Spurgin In custody and would bring
him to the border if guaranteed $200
for expenses.
Spurgin was arrested at a ranch a
few miles from Chihuahua City. A
telegram was sent today to Presi
dent Obrepon asking an order for ex
pulsion of the banker from Mexico
as a pernicious foreigner.
A Mexican secret service officer,
vho was at Ojinaga. Chihuahua, when
Spurgin crossed there from the
United States, said the banker at
tracted attention by his unusual size
and the large tips he gave for small
services.
According to the officer, Spurgin
was not suspected of being the miss
ing Chicago banker until after he
had left Ojinaga for the south.
Spurgin had several pieces of bag
gage with him, the officer said, and
appeared particularly careful of a
large suitcase. A customs official
asked if the suitcase contained ex
plosives, the Importation of which
into Mexico is under strict regula
tion. Spurgin replied that the bag con
tained money with which he intended
to buy a ranch in Mexico. Exam
ination by the customs officer
showed that the suitcase was filled
with American banknotes.
Plans are being made to grow
great quantities of cotton on the
islands of the New Hebrides group.
