- The town of Glendale was stirred one day by the advent of Alice Reynolds. The next day she is searching about the station and, when questioned by the station-agent, tells him of the loss of a ten dollar bill, the corner of which was slightly torn. The station-agent acquaints the village boys of her loss and they all aid in the hunt, but to no avail. She leaves weeping and the boys' hearts are touched. Bud Hoover, one of the boys, hits upon a scheme to try to get into the good graces of the young lady. He takes a ten dollar bill, tears the corner of it, calls upon Alice and gives her the money, claiming to have found it. She thanks him and gives him a flower as a reward. Bud's success sets the boys a-thinking. He is no sooner gone than Silas Gray hits upon the same plan and gives Alice a ten dollar bill with a torn corner, telling her he had found the money. Still another boy, Cy Smith, thinks the same brilliant plan and he, too, gets a flower. Bud proudly tells the station-agent of his luck. Silas comes next and Cy brings in the rear. They all have the same tale to tell. When notes are compared, they realize that they have been stung, and starts for the hotel as Alice leaves with suitcase, steps into station bus, and tells driver she must catch the 2 p.m. train. The bus passes the boys on its way to the train, but they are not aware it contains the girl. At the hotel, the clerk informs them she has gone. They dash out and make a bee-line for the depot. The girl sees them coming and with a laugh, steps on the now moving train.
- In this film is shown operations at the largest lumber mill in the world, with a capacity of 300,000 feet of lumber per day; a panoramic view of the pond where the logs, which average 30 inches in diameter, are unloaded from the cars and stored until needed, from whence they are poled to the flume and, floated to the log-jack which automatically picks them up, carrying them to the cutting frame where they are sawed into planks of various dimensions, thence to the sorting table which sorts the different sizes preparatory to being conveyed to the immense yards for piling, where 23,000,000 feet of white pine lumber, valued at $500,000, is stored in piles. The creosoting of railroad ties is also shown, a process which increases the life and usefulness of the ties to fifty years, whereas, without this treatment, which is accomplished under a pressure of 175 pounds per square inch for six hours in massive steel tubes, the average life would be but five years. The capacity of this plant is 1,000,000 ties per year.
- A sensational educational subject, showing the world's greatest engineering project.
- A very interesting and instructive picture of the efforts of the United States Government to civilize the Indian tribes. We see the true condition of the Pueblo Indians at Albuquerque, N.M. Although they retain much of their traditional love of barbaric finery, still much of the fashion favors Mexico and the United States. Many of the scenes are photographed in and around the fashionable hotels: also the missions and the government schools, which give an idea of the care Uncle Sam takes of his wards. The Star Spangled Banner is much in evidence, and the aborigines are proud to carry it as their right and ensign of nationality.
- A party of tourists on their way east across the continent take advantage of the short stop at Albuquerque, New Mexico, to purchase wares of the Indians congregated about the Indian Exhibits Building near the station.

Left, they decide to make the best of it by sight-seeing until the next train arrives. Their experience in the interim was funny, unique and exciting.
- There is no documentation that any film bearing this title was produced or distributed by Biograph at this time. Either the production may have been suspended before completion or else it was released under a different title, most likely the latter, as A Pueblo Legend (1912) q.v.
- Mr. John Brandon, a man of wealth, was told by his family physician that his daughter, Alice, was declining in health, and that he must take her to New Mexico, where the climate might bring her back to health and strength. Alice is secretly betrothed to her father's clerk, and when her father finds this out, it is an added reason why he should try to get his daughter away from the city. The journey is made. Dr. Rice, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, advises a three-weeks' stay in Bear Canyon, a distance of twenty miles from the city. The father, therefore, makes the arrangements. Later they find themselves in the rugged, rocky canyon. The daughter of a goat herder, himself an invalid, and only a few years earlier compelled to come to the same place for his health, while out with her herd of goats, sees the city girl in her flowing white robe, is startled, goes home and tells her parents. They explain to her that it must be some tourist that has by chance come to this part of the country. The following day she starts out again on her daily jaunt over the hills with the goats. The girls meet and become friends. The city girl decides it would be a fine prank to change clothes with the goat girl and wander off among the rocks with the goats, leaving the goat girl to act the part of the invalid. They decide to keep their secret for fear it might worry Alice's father. Later, Dr. Seth, the nephew of Dr. Rice, visits his uncle and as Dr. Rice is very busy, the nephew is sent out to Bear Canyon to see how the invalid is getting along. The father wishes to take him up on the hills, but the doctor advises that he can find the patient without disturbing the father. He struggles to the top of the hill, and looking over, sees the goat girl, who he supposes is Alice, the daughter of Mr. Brandon. The goat girl is very much excited, the doctor very much interested in the beautiful girl. The doctor examines her, and, finding that there is nothing wrong with her, comes to the conclusion that there must be a mistake somewhere. He goes away, but finding it impossible to forget the little girl, comes back the following day, and as the girls have met again and changed clothes, the doctor finds, as he supposes, Alice Brandon. This masquerading is going on for some little time, the doctor becoming more and more infatuated with his supposed patient. The city girl understands the situation, and it has afforded her a lot of enjoyment. Alice's sweetheart is tired of being alone. Later he arrives on the scene, and meeting Dr, Seth, who is just about to start out from Albuquerque to Bear Canyon, is invited by Dr. Seth to ride with him. When the doctor finds that he is the sweetheart of Alice Brandon, he freezes up and is none too courteous. This is all explained away when the two young men reach the summit of the hill in Bear Canyon and find that the girls have been masquerading. Alice's health has been greatly improved and the meeting of her sweetheart makes her supremely happy. The doctor's love was true blue, and the little goat girl finds that he loves her for herself, regardless of her station in life.
- The Jordans, Phil and Ruth, accompanied by Philip's wife, Polly, and Dr. Winthrop Newbury, a suitor for Ruth's hand, bid old Mrs. Jordan good-bye at the station of Milford Corners, Mass., and depart for the west, to work over some unredeemed desert land, which was left to the Jordans by their dead father. Arriving in the west, they take up their work, but it proves anything but a success. On the brink of the Great Divide lives Stephen Ghent, an untamed and untrained man of the west, and on account of his manner is respected by the habitués of Miller's saloon and dance hall in the town, which he and two of his acquaintances in the persons of Pedro, a half-breed Mexican, and Dutch, a brutal type of the west, frequent. Polly tires of western life and jumps at the chance to take a trip to Frisco. Philip drives her down to the station that night. On an adjoining ranch a cowpuncher is seriously hurt and a boy is dispatched for Dr. Newbury. After cautioning Ruth to retire early, the doctor takes his leave. Stephen Ghent, Pedro, and Dutch are down in the town drinking. They afterward depart and start up the Coldwater Trail, which runs alongside of the Jordan home. As they pass the dimly lighted cabin, they see a woman standing in the doorway. Cautiously approaching the door, they enter the cabin and Ruth is overpowered. Dutch and Ghent fight a duel for her in which Dutch is killed. Pedro is bought off by Ghent with a string of nuggets, and Ruth belongs to him. In the man of the woods, Ruth recognizes the ideal man she desires for a helpmate. Ruth agrees to marry Ghent and live as his wife in name only until he has changed his character. Ghent agrees and they are married. Ghent then brings her to his cabin. As day by day goes by, Ruth begins to see other qualities in her husband and also to believe in him. One night, however, Ghent filled with a desire for her and goaded on by the whiskey that is in him breaks his promise. Ruth denounces him for his actions and tells him that not until he has purged himself through suffering will she ever believe in him again. She also tells him that she is going to earn enough money to buy back the string of nuggets from Pedro, with which he managed to get her into his power. Some time later Ruth departs for town to sell her last blanket. She has been weaving Navajo blankets in order to raise the necessary amount to buy back the nuggets. In the meantime the Jordans become disgusted and prepare to go back east. While waiting at the station they find Ruth, who has just completed the sale of her blanket. They see her start up the trail and follow her on foot. Ruth buys back the string of nuggets from Pedro, but she has not time to turn it over to Ghent upon her arrival at the cabin before she is overtaken by the others. It is her desire to have them believe she is happy and refuses to go back east with them. She introduces Ghent to them just as they are ready to catch the train. Ghent, unable to understand her changed attitude, starts to thank her. She tells him that circumstances forced her to act as she did, but that she is now able to buy back her freedom from him. Ghent is stunned, and at first refuses to let her go, but when she tells him of the life that is to come and that it is their duty to protect its happiness through a mother's love, he finally releases her from her promise, and Ruth, with the sense of newfound freedom, starts down the trail to overtake the others before it is too late. Ghent's attention as he looks after her is suddenly attracted to a bit of trembling earth on the mountainside. He realizes the great danger that Ruth is in and starts down the trail to rescue her. He is just in time and has thrown her to one side when the landslide comes upon him and carries him into the valley below. The rumbling sound has caused the others to look back. A reunion takes place over the injured Ghent. He is brought to the cabin, where he recovers under the care and attention of Dr. Newbury and Ruth. Ruth tells him that he has purged himself through his suffering and once more the couple start out in life upon a happier basis.
