the Clearwater forest reserve, Idaho,

Bert Ferris and Grove Barton of
Lewiston. who with others have been
camping on the south fork of the Clear
water river, 60 miles inland from Koos
kia. were compelled to cut short their
trip on account of the intense heat and
spreading fires. They walked to Koos
kia. Ferris stated flres are extending
SO miles long and more than 10 miles
wide, and at the time of their depart
ure, Monday morning, were spreading
in all directions.
Fire in the lower district extends
from post 23 to post -31, a distance of
i£ne miles, while fire on the hills ex
tends from camp 62 to Boulder creek,
a distance of 20 miles. Ray Fitting,
vanger, left Monday morning for the

Advertising Talks
tey— -17 1° a street not so very far from The Gall office is a
Iflinn merchant who has been in business for twenty-five or
lUw]}oh tn^ rtv years, and he has never advertised. .He will tell
j^^c' y° u s° himself; in fact, he is proud of it, and when you
. sJ^=&*— » come to think of it it is quite a feat to stay in business
thirty years without advertising.
To all questions as to why, his answer is: "I am doing very well"
without it." And so he is, doing very well— nothing more.
He has a fine store, excellent goods, charges fair prices, knows,
merchandising, but he has never told the people, never taken the general
public into his confidence. Year after year he has been content to \u25a0*[ do
very well."
If all men were content with "very well" this might answer, but -
they are not; abler men have entered the field, men who are never con-
tent; men who make the success of today the stepping stone to a bigger
success for tomorrow. Men who have seen the possibilities of advertising
their store, their, goods, their prices, their knowledge of the people.
Stores have grown up all around this contented man; big stores with
big men at the headof them; they are crowding- him; he is not doing
so well; he is losing ground every day; and lately, he has sent for ah-,
advertising man to "talk things over." ' , -
Gentlemen, the surface^of advertising possibilities in San Francisco \u25a0
hasn't been scratched. This is a big community, and it is growing. Let's
get together and grow with it. - - . \u25a0 " ,

EMPLOYES LOOT
BURLINGTON LINE
Hundreds of Thousands Stolen
by Gigantic Combine of
Railroadmen
OMAHA, Aug. 17. — A big sensation is
brewing in Burlinpton road circles due
to the discovery which has just been
made that through a systematic ar
rangement between a number of con
'ductofs, trainmen, ticket sellers and
others, the road has been defrauded
out of probably hundreds of thousands
o* dollars.
\u25a0 The scheme is supposed to extend
over the entire western system of the
Burlington and that- the officials have
secured all the evidence necessary is
showd by the summary discharge yes
terday of half a dozen conductors and
one train agent on the Omaha divi
sion of the road.
Burlington officials in Omaha refuse
to discuss the situation, : but from
lower sources the extent and scope of
the gang vhich is looting the road, is
made known. For months the secret
service officers of the Burlington, as
sisted by a numt«r of Pinkerton de
tectives, have been working on the
case and are now supposed to be in
command of the situation.
The plan of operating was most
simple and easy. The crooked ticket
agent would sell a ticket for a certain
train, give the number of the ticket to"
the conductor of that train, who, in
stead of punching the pasteboard,
would return it to . the ticket agent
without making a report to the com
pany. The agent would place the ticket
on sale again and divide with the con
ductor. It is said the receipts on some
divisions fell so low that an investiga
tion was started and tho schem-i dis
covered. *
For months every passenger board
ing trains has been numbered and the
ticket sales . checked with the secret
reports. Spotters have purchased
tickets, kept a memorandum of the
number, and reports show that in cer
tain cases the same ticket has been
sold to half; a dozen different detect
ives. Many other discharges are said
to be slated and a thorougti cleaning
out of the guilty railroaders is to
follow.

\ THE SAN FRANCISCO^^.C
"SEVEN DAYS" IS
MIRTH PROVOKING
Screaming Farce Brings Out
Fair Sex at Matinee, Break*
ing Attendance Records
WALTER ANTHONY
There was a matinee yesterday at
the Columbia theater. The hpuse was.
sold mit, extra chairs were trundled
in and some who could find seats no
where, stood up through: the three acts
of "Seven Days." Most'oT the "audi
ence was comprised of women. They
controverted the, masculine argument
that the fair sex lacks a . sense ' of
humor. The feminine point of- view
took .fri the episode ol the cooking of
the omelette and "the toasting; of 'the
bread with a rather more comprehen
sive knowledge than men were likely
to assume. " And the ladies shrieked
when the omelette was! in the mak
ing:. Norman Mitchell- as t Kit trying
to cook was the hit of the act. _
The management of the' Columbia
asserts that all records for comedy
productions, have been smashed in the
Wagenhals &. Kemper production.
Sadie Harris owes her success on
the stage to divorce — not to her' own
divorce, but somebody's else.! She
was given; the' role that -Bessie Devoie
had . rehearsed in the Shuberts* pro
duction of "The Midnight Sons. 1 ; Miss
Devoie's .'somewhat prominent figure
In Frank Gould's domestic snarl dis
appeared. from New York '.when the
proceedings began, and Ned" Weyburn,
who was staging "The Midnight
Sons," selected Miss Harris to take
her . place in the ' r musical comedy.
Later, when Janet Beecher withdrew
from the cast of the. "Lottery Man";
to become a' Belasco' star, Lee Shu
bert, offered the part to Miss Harris,
who then wetjt from musical to
straight comedy, and will be seen: at
the Savoy next Sunday night when
the Savoy opens with "The Lottery
Man."
, Arthur- Hoops has been playing the
"heavy" roles in Hackett's produc
tions at the Alcazar theater so vividly
that his stage impersonations ; have
been the despair and dread of all lov
ers of fine romantic, drama such as
Hackett excels in. However, \: his
career of wickedness — hlB stage career,
I mean — was suddenly cut s"hort Tues
day morning by an attack of Illness
which will keep him confined to his
bed for several days. • His place was
taken on short notice by George Bald
win, a member of the Alcazar stock
company, who appeared In the role of
the duke of Winters in "Monsieur
Beaucaire." within 12 hours after the
manuscript was placed in his hands.
The audience Tuesday night might
not have known of the feat had not
Hackett mentioned it in his curtain
speech. Hackett has thus far- been
unable to avoid the curtain speech.
The audience demands it nightly.
E. M. Rosmer, who leads the Or

again. He spent two weeks far from

Minnie. Dupree's recent success in
"The Road to Yesterday," which was
produced lately in 'New York, caused
her to be a much discussed comedienne.
She will be seen next Sunday afternoon
at, the Orpheum at the. head of a small
buf able company in "The Minister's
Wife." It is aya v one net play by Frank
Ferguson and provides Miss .Dupree
with a splendid and sprightly vehicle
for her talents.' Al Jolson -was last

Dockstader's minstrels. He is ' now
in vaudeville and will appear- next
Sunday. - • \u25a0-..-
For more than two years, every day
and Sunday, too, Walter de Leon, has
not missed a performance of the Fer
ris Hartman opera company, wherein
he appears advantageously as juvenile
and light comedian. From Idora park
to San Francisco, to Los Angeles and
back again to Oakland, he has always
been "on the job." "But he gets a week
off during "Mikado" week, which is
two weeks hence.
The present production, "Mary's
Lamb," which is the most popular of
fering provided -by Hartman \u0084and his
lively company, is to be followed by
"Florodora," and that \u0084--in turn by
revival of "The Mikado." Then De
Leon will take his week off. .;\u25a0
He says he expects to spend no time
under the bars of rustic fences in the
silent haunts of- nature, nor yet to idle
with thoee.other, bars closer: at home
and lighted up. He is going to put the
final bars of music into shape • which
will compete a pretentious composition
on which he is at work — a light opera
score. ' \-_ .. ; _•
Fred Belasco has decided to open the
Alcazar's regular stock season Monday
afte r next with "His House in Order,"
a Pinero play that has not been pre
sented in .San,. Francisco, although it
scored emphatic success in both Lon
don and New York. It will be the me
dium of introducing tho . new leading
woman and man, Jane Gordon and
Thurston Hall,, both of whom have ar
rived and reported readiness to begin
rehearsals. - Miss. Gordon is : an" Eastern
actress who has filled . some very im
portant positions .in stock and on the
road, and Hail is no' stranger to "this
city, having appeared here as Lillian
Russell's chief support in "Wildflre,"
and v/ithGeorge Fawcett in "The Great
JohhGanton." Grace' Barbour, the new
second , leading woman, and Thomas
Chatterton, engaged for the season as
juvenile man, will, be first seen at* the
Alcazar in "The Girl I Left Behind Me,"
which is to be the bill. during Admis

LEAGUE WINS
IN LOS ANGELES
Insurgent Candidate Defeats
Congressman McLachlan in s
'Seventh District
.LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.— At 9 o'clock
tonight, 30 hours.after the polls closed,
the (election officers -in Los; Angeles
\u25a0were still hard at work counting the
big blanket sheets. Practically four
fifths of tlie votes have been counted,
and witlv the exception of two or three
offices the result -is nowhere Tn doubt.
The indications of the first returns that
the candidates of the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league, headed by Hiram-WV Johnson
for governor, had swept the . county
were never changed, and the original
estimates of majorities" were varied
but little by the later reWrns. %
It Is apparent that Johnson hascar
ried Los Angeles county , by from 12,000
40 15.000 over Curry, .who has run next
to him throughout the* state. Stanton
ran second in this, his home county, but
developed no great strength anywhere
else In tho southern part of the state.
LVSURGEXT VICTORY ~ '^ *
Tl^ defeat of James McLachlan, in
cumbent republican' congressman; from
the seventh district, by Stephens,' '-'in
surgent," Is conceded. Stephens' es
timated "plurality is 2,000. For a time
today it appeared ; as if Congressman
Smith of the eighth district might also
have a close call with Kirby, the San
Diego "insurgent," but returns from
Sari Bernardino, Riverside: and Orange
counties brought up Smith's -total and
overcame Kirby's lead. Smith said to
night, that. his' majority outside of Inyo
county would be 2,300.
The Lincoln - Roosevelt league
claimed a clean sweep of the three
senatorial and nine, assembly dis
tricts in this county with the excep
tion 'of the seventy-third assembly,
where Lyon, "regular," has won." 1 \
"Wallace's plurality in this county
will; be in the neighborhood of 14.000
over Keesling and about 9,000 over
Farmer, according to the league esti
mates. . ;
Meyer Lissner,- manager of. the
league's campaign, estimated other*
county pluralities tonight as follows:
Wilbur, for associate Justice, oyer MelTln,
10.000.
O'Brien,: for secretary of state, orer .Wagner,

JOHNSON READY
FOR FINAL FIGHT
Curry, Gillett; Stanton and
Meserve Offer to Help Nom
inee Win at Polls
With 'the dominant ambition of oust
ing the Southern Pacific railroad from
the governmental affairs of the^state
of California, Hiram W. Johnson, re
publican nominee for governor, within
a few weeks will begin his campaign
for, the final goal, being supported in
the contest by Curry, Governor Gillett.
Stanton and many of his opponents at
the primaries. What other policies he
will advocate he does not know at pres
ent, nor will top discuss any othersr
Foremost is his avowed declaration
of crushing William F. Herrin politi
cally in California, and, in the face of
the overwhelming vote cast for him
Tuesday, his utterances and general
attitude show him possessed of. a deep
confidence that he will be elected gov
ernor. '- . /
"There's just. one idea, politically and
governmentally, in my campaign." he
safd, in discussing the situation'yester
day, '-and that is to carry out the work
to which I dedicated myself lasi March
when I entered : this contest— to rid the
state of the political interference of
Mr. Herrin and the Southern Pacific."
What other questions or policies that
might arise as . the campaign pro
gressed, he made it evident, would be
subservient to this one issue; that
while he would be willing to meet them
as they arose, they would in- no wise
hinder him in his first purpose.
CURRY OFFERS SUPPORT
Among the first to offer congratula
tions u> him yesterday was Curry, who
telephonedvhlm at his office. The two
had a long, pleasant chat,.during which
Curry, after extending his good, wishes
to his successful rival, unhesitatingly
offered his help and support. On the
heels of Curry's message came words
of congratulation and support from
Governor Gillett. Philip A; Stanton and
Edwin A. \u25a0' Meserve. The messages
pleased Johnson . greatly,- particularly
the one from Curry.
"Mr. Curry had .nothing but tjie most
pleasant words for rue," he "Said, "and
I appreciate them greatly." (
The generally avowed intent on the
part of the genuine leaders of the re
publicans to support Johnson elimi
nated, to a large extent, a feeling of
doubt that existed at his headquarters
in regard to this phase of the forth
coming campaign. Johnson returned
the sentiment of friendship which was
extended to him. He said:
Without -. any enmity or ani
mosity the remaining half of my
task I expect to accomplish.- Yes
terday's victory practically kicks
Mr. Herrin and the Southern Pa
cific out of the republican patiy.
The part of the undertaking tMat
yet remains is to eliminate Mr.
Herrin and ! the Southern Pacific
from California's government.
In continuing the work we will,
gladly of course, welcome all those
who will honestly strive with us
for: the same purpose.. .This, is a
great work that is ours to do for
our state, and the primary elec
tion demonstrated that it can and
will be accomplished.
This, was the point on which I
made the , fight at the primary
election, and my., forthcoming cam
- paign will be fought along the
same lines. As to the details of
the fight I can not say anything at ~
present except this: i expect to
: leave the city in a day or *wo for
a short rest in the country and
will be absent about a •\u25a0 week. -
Shortly after my return I will start
campaigning, but what my plans
will be I have not' yet decided. I
presume, however, that, generally
speaking, they will be the same
• as during the primary fight.
GII.I.ETT SE.\DS MESSAGE
Gillett's telegram to Johnson was as
follows: 1 ";V .
Congratulate you upon your great
victory. Am ready to campaign state
for you to help make your election sure.
My, congratulation* upon your Vlc
.tory, telegraphed Stanton. I assure
you of my fealty to your candidacy.
Meserve -telegraphed at length, say
ing: Please accept my sincere and
hearty congratulation*. I had hoped
that my fellow townsman and neighbor,
Hon. Phil A. Stanton,. might realise hi*
ambition, but the members of our party
have decreed otherwise, and I bow in
that decree, and am now for you as the
choice of our party with nil I can do
to make your victory In November as
tremendous and emphatic as that of
yesterday.
MUMMY' EXTRACT IS \
GIVEN IN RECEIPT
Here is a somewhat disquieting re
ceipt according to! the manuscript of
the Persian poet Xizami, quoted in the
"Hospital": "Take a man "with red skin
and hair; feed him with fruits up to the
age of '30. Then plunge him Into a
stone vat filled with honey and divers
other drugs; close up the vat and seal
it hermetically. One hundred and twen
ty years late the honey" and body will
be mummified. Open the vat and serve
up the contents." The mummy extract,
says the German savant,- was In com
mon use in the eighteenth century, and
as late as 1553 it figured in Austrian
pharmacy.
BELL EXPECTS TO
WIN IN NOVEMBER
nDemocratic Gubernatorial Nor-
inee, Figures Out (That His
' Chances Are Favorable
\u25a0
t After analyzing the vote cast at. the
primary election and comparing it with
former election' figures. Theodore A.
Bell, democratic nominee for governor,
declared last night that the political
aspect was extremely favorable) to him
and that he was "confident of victory
next November."
"I went over the vote very thorough
ly." he said, "and I am more than ever
confident of success.- My flsht vrlll t^
made on the same principles as that of
four years ago. My views and policies .
are well known and I have not de
parted from them."
Bell leaves today for St. Louis to
attend the grand aerie of Eagles.
"I am grand trustee of the organisa
tion," he said, "and it is necessary to\ _ t
me \u25a0 to be' present, as some important
matters are coming np which will re
quire my personal attention. While in;..
St. Louis I shall try to get the next:
aeri*»for San Francisco and shall alas';
work of th© Panama-Pacific expo- *
sition. . ;
"A number of prominent eastern pol- t
lticians are members of the order, and
they will be present. I» shall take up'
the subject of the fair for San Fran'-';
Cisco with them and also with a nam-i
ber of congressmen from the middl**
west states, who, I understand, will*
attend the grand aerie. I have learned :"
that, though the congressmen from St.
Louis are favorable to New Orleans.;
those in the country "Qistricts are open
to argument."
Bell expects to be away 10 days, and
immediaaely on his return will begin
his campaigning.
. "The probabilities are." "Tie said, "that
within two weeks I shall be launched
upon the fight in good earnest. My
intention is to canvass the state thor-'
oughly in an automobile and fight
every inch of th© jvay."
