AUTO SHOW TO CLOSE TONIGHT LICENSED DEALERS' EXHIBIT IS DISTINCT SUCCESS Sales Totaling Nearly $400,000 Re. ported as Result of Fiesta Park Affair —Future Pleasing Another brief twenty-four hours and the giant redwood forest Which has I been the Mecca of auto enthusiasts ; throughout a joyous week will be ten- i antless, and no law of forest conser- i vation can prevent the felling of these handsome trees; no Audubon society , can preserve this bit of wildwood for | its feathered wards. But the memory of it all, the artistic scenic effects, the display of handsome motor cars and their attendant train of accessories will live in the minds of the public and automobile row denizens for a : long time to come. Today is the last of the great auto show of the local Licensed Dealers as sociation. It has been a phenomenal success, for it has exceeded the most i sanguine expectations of the manasre- : ment in point of attendance and In the amount of actual business done by the exhibitors. The total number of auto mobile sales will reach a valuation of I nearly $400,000, and the prospects listed will keep overy dealer busy for thirty i days. The great show has not only benefit ed the auto men. but it has again dem onstrated to the world that Los An geles in one more untried field has proved her ability to take her place side by side with New York and Chi cago in events of national Importance. The show management certainly de ■ serves the public's praise for the able manner in which every detail has been carried out and the care that has been exercised in the protection and com fort accorded. Good Roads Aided More automobile knowledge has been disseminated in this one brief week at the show than it would be possible to glean from books in a lifetime. And with it all, every motor car "sold, or every person made interested in automobiles, has helped along the cause of good roads. The attendance at the show by out of town people has run into the thou sands, and the interest they have shown has resulted in a number of subagencles arranged for in at least half a dozen nearby cities. Many of the cars that were sold at the show were purchased by those living outside Los Angeles, and this city is recog nized as the automobile center west of the Rockies. There are a greater num ber of makes of cars represented here than in any other city of the United States, barring three possible excep —New York, Chicago and Phila delphia. The automobile aceesory people have also a good week's business to report, and the motorcycle contingent has been kept continuously busy. Though there have been a number of requests to continue the show, the management positively announces that this is the last day, and those who have not as yet enthused over the big exposition have this one chance to familiarize themselves with the almost universal motive power of the future in both social and commercial life. Not all the business of the week has been done in "joy" machines, for a number of motor trucks for both light and heavy delivery service were sold or contracted for. One year from date is sure to see more motor-propelled wagons in this service than those drawn by horses: for the upkeep is little and the rapidity of delivery mul tiplied many fold. SHOW BRIEFS A stranger casually remarked to the Bufflngton people the other day that the mammoth 72-horse power Thomas Flyer they had on display would ba owned in San Diego. Yesterday Capt. Charles T. Hinds, from the southern exposition city, walked into the show and tendered a check for this hand some $6200 car and will drive it home Sunday night. Adolph Jahnke, proprietor of the Pal ace cafe, purchased another of the hnadsome show cars yesterday—a $6100 Lozier. , The Marmon racer In which Ray Harroun broke all records from twenty to 120 miles has been the feature of the .Wade Motor Car company's ex hibit. This car Is to be driven in the Ascot races by Scott Wade, as Har roun has a newer and larger Marmon on the way which he will use in those races. , * The "Glide Scout" shown by tlfe Shafer-Goode company Is one of the novel exhibits. It has 4x40 wheels, 122-inch wheel base and 14-inch road clearance. ALONG AUTO ROW This has been an active week among many of the motor companies that were not represented at the show. The Burkhard-Crippen Motor Car company has been holding an opening and house warming the past four days fit its newly finished salesrooms and garage, corner of Grand avenue and Pico street, and the display of Lex ington and Interstate cars has been most complete. The Pacific Motor Car and Aviation company has had a double bill at its own show In the Marble palace on Flower street, for not only are the fa mous White steamers and gasoline cars resplendent in all their polished newness, but a full-sized Curtis bi plane is set up and exhibited for the benefit of all visitors. Many who were not here at the aviation meet have taken this opportunity to see their first real airship. STANISLAUS ROADS ARE FAVORABLE TO TOURING Recent rains In Stanislaus county have left the roads in the beet condition they have been in for years, according to Archie Scott, a prominent mining man of La Grange, Cal., in a letter mailed from Modesto to the local Stude baker branch. Scott, who uses his Studebaker touring car In that county continuously, says the fine sandy loam of the roads there drains easily and leaves them free from chuck holes and hard as cement streets. One of the most delightful trips for motorists in that part of the state Is to drive to Knights Ferry via Oakdale. The big diverting dam at La Grange, tin; largrest in the world, is also the Mecca of many motorists. Scott says many eastern tourists with their motor cars are visitors daily to the points of Interest at Stanislaus. The valley route seems to be the favorite for San Pranclsco-Los Angeles runs.

"We have ample water stored up In our land after the past five wet sea sons to mature this season's crop and still have water left to help out on next year's crop, if we can persuade our farmers to investigate and follow the teachings of the new school of dry farming," said Mr. Wiggins yes terday, in discussing the crop con ditions. "Nearly every semi-arid country on earth, including California, sent del egates to the last Dry Farming con gress, and our farmers would know, if they had read up to date on these mat ters that the harrow would save us a crop under the present weather con ditions. "If middle western states can raise a crop of grain with eight inches of rain without any humid coast influ ences and where the evaporation is much greater, surely California can do as well or better if we profit by their methods. "The middle western farmer learned because he had to, and the chances are we will have to learn in the same school. "If any farmer will take the trou ble to go out in any field that has not been worked since the last rain, and examine the surface of the soil, he, or she, will find small octagon shaped cracks. The heavier the soil the wider and deeper the cracks will be, and there is a constant evaporation through every one of these cracks. "Harrow them and the evaporation is stopped. Don't be afraid to harrow, for even If it rains your crop will be benefited. Should it continue dry the harrowing will make the difference be tween success and failure."

As a rule he tosses communications from lovesick- swains and marriageable widows into his waste basket, but one he received yesterday smacked a little of a bunco and he requested Captain of Detectives Flammer to investigate the identity of a "SIBO,OOO widow," who desires to become the wife of Pro fessor S. Konieczka, 1547 North Hoyna avenue, Chicago. The fact that a woman who said she possessed $180,000 in real estate and other property, would require a pros pective husband to forward $25 as "earnest money" aroused Chief Gallo way's police instincts that "all was not as it should be."

She required him to address his mail and the order for the $25 to the "Arcade station." Accomplished Letter Writer His communication to Chief Galloway was as follows: "Dear chief, your honor.

As I am not a business woman I have lost over $3000 in the last year in poor investments, and allowing unprincipled men to beat me out of it. I would like to get an honest, kind man who will treat me right and who will try to make money out of what I lave, and try to live so that we could enjoy it. I want to get some man like yourself who has been alone and know what it would mean to have a good wife.'' After declaring that her woman friend must accompany her, should they agree to meet in Chicago, the woman said: "I am willing to come to Chicago at my own expense, and I will pay hate' of the expense for her. Now if you or your friend you speak of will sond me the other half of her fare we will come there as soon as possible. I do not care which of you sends the money, but one of you or both send me $25 to show that you mean business and that we will be met at the train. If you send it I will repay you and do more than that if you do your part. "I do not need your money. If you are an honest man you will not try some other plan, but will send the money and ask us to come on. I am in deadly earnest. Are you? 1 get my mail at my residence, but I want this to come at the Arcade station so I can surprise our friend. She does not know I have written, so I want to surprise her."

SLEUTH ON WILD GOOSE BURGLAR HUNT Mirrored Light of Auto Lamp Starts Detectives to Scouting Among Stores Along Broad, way The reflection of an oil lamp, at tached to an automobile standing at the curb, in a small mirror in the pic ture store of Bonner & Co.. 124 South Broadway, caused a passerby to im agine that a burglar was at work in side and a hurry call was sent to the detective bureau last night. Detectives Hawley and McKenzie were dozing in their chairs, waiting for something to happen, when the ; telephone rang and an excited voice jerked out the brief statement that a bold, bad safe-blower was preparing to crack a safe in a store on the east side of Broadway between First and Sec ond streets. The officers buckled on their revolv ers, pulled their hats over their eyes and hurried out of the police station with visions of capturing a desperate burglar in time to prevent the theft of a large sum of money and the prob able wrecking of the building and a loss of life. Spurred on by the further vision of being complimented on a clever piece of work and being awarded medals for their daring arrest, the detectives quickened their speed by running, and on reaching Broadway began peering Into each store, hoping to locate the' right place and effect the capture without having to resort to their re volvers. After examining each store until they reached the entrance to the Chamber of Commerce building, one of the officers remained on guard while the other hurried to a telephone and asked the detective bureau for further information. On 'earning that the criminal was at work in the Bonner & Co. store the detectives, as one man, seized the knob of the door and tried to get in. They stopped suddenly be cause the door was locked. The detectives then rushed to the big show window and peered in. They stepped closer to get a better view. Then they noticed the shadow of a man and almost instantly the light went out. The officers then stepped to one side to get one more look before attempting to enter the place. As they did so they heard the whirr of a gas engine, and looking behind saw a chauffeur about to start an auto that had been standing at the curb. As the r auto moved away the light moved along inside the store, and when the motor car had passed the window the light vanished. The detectives, not satisfied, took another glimpse into the place and saw their own shadows reflected on the glass. They looked at each other. The mystery dawned on them and they slowly sauntered back to the police station to wait for more excitement. *—» TWO FUNERAL SERVICES FOR FRANCIS J.
