Fred Boalt, of The Star editorial staff, has been down in the land of John Tornow, the "beast
man," that strange figure who has the whole southwestern Washington from the Columbia to Willapa
in terror of his mad rifle. In Monday's Star, Mr. Boalt will write the first real story of Tornow. It will
be one of the most remarkable newspaper stories of the year.
Mr. Boalt, as a newspaper wrter, has an international reputation. He was connected for several
years with the Cleveland Press as special feature writci. and then for three years with the London bureau
of the United Press. While in London, Mr. Boalt waAengaged by The Star. Mr. Boalt's articles in
this newspaper have already attracted wide attention
Some of the most notable are "The Story of thfi&irl in the Padded CeU"; the several stories about
"William," the unusual character who assists Rev. He*h in the Brotherhood league; "Murphy's Fight
With Delirium Tremens," and other articles.
Mr. Boalt's story about John Tornow, in the opinion of The Star, excels anything he has ever
written. As a bit of descriptive literature it is superb.

Injunction proceedings will be
started either today or early next
week against the Pacific Telephone
Co. to restrain it from raising the
rates of formrr subscribers of the
Independent Telephone Co., which
It absorbed recently. This action is
prompted by Mayor Cotterill, who
has Instructed Corporation Counsel
Bradford to begin the suit imme
diately. The mayor held a confer

Utilities Valentine and Deputy Cor

The mayor takes the position that j

A LARGE CIRCULATION?
YES, BUT WHERE?
Do you, Mr. Advertiser, want * scattered
circulation? Remember your rate for adver
tising in a newspaper is based on so many
thousand circulation. No matter where this
circulation goes and no matter whether you
can use it, you are paying for it. Therefore,
that newspaper is more valuable to you as an
advertising medium whose circulation is con
centrated in a small radius. You will then
prefer The Star, for its circulation is the most
concentrated of any newspaper in Washing
ton. It reaches the people you want to reach
and ydu use all the circulation you are pay
ing for. The Star sells

by the nervous strain of a grilling
cross-examination. The attorney*

"It was on account of my boy*, -

The erottM-exaniination of Mrs.

testimony to the effect that blent.

a room for Mrs. Mi-Reynold* at th«

"He gave me to utAlerstaud that
every thine was straight " Gray said,
"and the woman was mmr day to

he said, to go to rome other
the sake of appearances, and to as-
i the former, then the rates must be
;|the same a* fixed for the Independ
