est bugaboo. The enterprising San
Francisco managers, Friedlander, Colt
lob & Marks, who succeeded to the
three principal theatres there, are fore
most among those who are cheerily
singing, Hard times come again no
more and the notable list of attrac-
lions they have arranged to bring
across the country indicates that they
are going to show their faith by their
works. Let us hope they may not be
mistaken. Their enterprise means much
to Salt Lake, and Manager Piper is
being kept busy nowadays arranging
dates and terms for the best in the list
to drop off here as they come or go. 1t
is already certain that the Salt Lake
house will be open a greater number
of nights during 1S9S'99 than it has
been for several seasons past.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following regarding the list of attrac-
tions booked for that city, and nearly
every one mentioned, with several
others, have already closed with the
theatre here:
AS was predicted, Mr. Gottlob, who
has Just been east booking attractions
for his theatres, has found the dire
threats of ostracism melt into thin air.
The terrible determination that was to

not appear to have had much backbone
to it. Mr.. Gottlob brings this list of
people and plays already decided upon
to visit us in the course of the coming
season: Henry Miller opens the Bald
win theatre on Aug. %, with his sue
cessful play, "Heartsease," and then
produces two we have not seen, 1.-THE
Master and "a Marriage of Convent

short season. The list, besides, contains
Julia Marlowe who will be very well

the hit in London as we'll as every

What of the coming season?
The peace developments of the past
few weeks has caused a sudden
change TO come over the spirit of man
agerial dreams everywhere. A month
or six weeks back managers regarded
the coming season only through the
bluest of spectacles. The latter half of
the last season had taught them a dis
aStrOuS lesson Of the havoc that war
played with the amusement business.
People simply will not go to theatres
when there is excitement outside,
fact illustrated in political campaigns
and a hundred times intensified when
there are war bulletins to be read, war
news TO be discussed, passing regiments
to be visited and ninistered 20, re-
cruits TO be drummed in and when the
thousand other points and circum-
stances Of war arise to distract public
attention.
But all that, is now changed. AS
soon as the first rustic of the wings of
the angel of peace was heard in the
land, the mercIrial spirits of managers
began to rise. Now in all parts of the
land the merry swish of the bill post
yrs brush is heard as he paints out
IL opening date lines in September
,fand October and changes them to new
dates in August and September. De
spite the great heat in New York, some
of the theatres are getting ready for
Immediate openings; the dramatic pa
pers are filled with urgent calls for
companies TO assemble for rehearsal.
The booking industry has reawakened
and managers are filling the press with
eXuberant opinions that with the end
ing of the war will come a reaction in
favor of amusements, and that the
nnhllP will IRISH the thea q &
unanimously as it kept away from
them during the closing weeks of the
season past.
Of course the business will be over
done, and the road will be strewn
with the corpses of defunct dramatic
enterprises a little earlier than usual
this year, but at the same time a great
deal of good viii come to the houses,
which, like ours, have to rely on the
transcontinental theatrical traffic to
furnish their entertainments and pay
dividends to their stockholders. il now
looks as though the number of at
fractions which will visit San Francisco
will be bigger and better in grade than
for half a dozen years past, and in
running over the list the fear raised
in some peoples minds that the retire
ment of Hayman and Frohman from
the management of theatres on the
coast meant that their companies
would not visit the coast as frequent
ly as hitherto, is shown to be the mer-

adelphia and Louisville, and when he
had concluded his labors, he put in a
bill of $571 for his services, which was
paid. Mr.. Smith testified that on July
two persons representing themselves
as d. o. Moray and Z. w. Tallman,
with letters of Introduction from Mr..
McNaIl. called at the Office of the COM
pany, saying that they had been sent
to examine it's affairs. They were in
formed that the company would pre-
fer to have the matter delayed a few
days, and they returned again on July
II and pursued the examination for
three days, when they presented a bill
for 1928, which was paid.
1t is claimed that about $500 has
been paid to agents who have been
sent to examine the affairs of different

DEAD LETTER MONEY.
Contribution to the Conscience Fund
Soldiers Mail.


Soldiers Mail.
Washington, Aug 13.-The postoffice
department is in receipt of a letter
from an unknown correspondent at Sc
attic, Wash, who enclosed $26.38 in or
der to relieve his conscience. The let
ter stated that the writer had, ten
years ago, robbed a country postoffice
of SIS, and this amount was returned
swith interest at per cent.
1t is feared by the postoffice officials
that with the advent of a great num-
Der of letters containing money to and
from soldiers there will be an increase
in the amount of cash turned into the
dead letter office.
Mr.. Merritt, the third assistant, said
today that it was a curious fact that
month after month the sum turned into
the dead letter Office was almost exact
ly $1,000 There were slight variations,
but it invariably closely approached
this sum. Last year the aggregate was
81. 454 With the soldiers mail, how
ever, this monthly approximation may
be Increased. 1t is recommended, now
that q great deal of money is being
sent through the mails, that CORE
spondents be more careful and see
that their full name and address is in

The northern half of Washing
ton county, O., is the scene of quite
an amount Of experimental work,
with a great deal more prospective
operations in view. Recent de.
velopments in that quarter Of OIL
dom have been highly satisfactory,
and has tended to draw on,lookers
IN. AS a matter of fact setbaCks
and disappointments are likely to
occur at any time, yet it is safe to
predict that a fair Berea sand pool
will be found in the vicinity of Elk
run. This pool, however, can not
be large, as it has been defined on
the northwest and southeast. In
these directions dry holes and gas
serS Of small volume have been
found, and judging from q careful
study Of the map the trend Of the
anti cliual is that way. Frequent
y the lines are abruptly changed
i'll the higher sands, but it is a sci
dom occurrence i'll the Berea for
nation.
All previous pools that have
been developed in that direction
resemble that Of Elk Run, and if.
We are to measure this prospective
pool by previous ones, such as Ar.
cher's Fork or Long Eddy, it will
not be large, but wonderfully las
ing and profitable.
We are informed by a reliable oil
man that the wells in the Long
Eddy developments seven years Old
are making yet four or five barrels
per day, while the wells in the Ar
cheers Fork field have equal stay
ing qualities.
The Elk Run field has at the
present time three producing wells, |
six drilling, with two o.her rigs
building.
These figures are encouraging in
many ways. No one identified
with the oil business could have
been induced to believe six months
ago that even that number of wells
would ever be drilled in that quar-
ter and to see as many drilling at
e4ae, ttii',ss11e is equally surprising Col
all. The wells now drilling are,
too, in advance and will thoroughly
demonstrated what may be expect.
ed from their respective locations.
The Carter Oil company have been
encouraged to start another we'll at
Flint's Mill P. O. by a recent wild
cat which they completed there
that is said to be making natural ?
barrels per day.
Since these wells have been
found in underlined and in practi-
cally condemned territory theories
are being advanced concerning ex-
tensions. This we'll at Flint's Mill
is about 3-4 miles west Of Wilson
run and about mile east of the
Long Eddy field. Connections
may eventually be found and at
tempts will be made to open ex-
tensions at once.
We are informed on good author
ity that Gideon Chapman and 9TH
ers, who, it will be remembered
scored buster nearly two years
ago on the Mcknight farm in an
attempt to open up lead from the
east from Archers Fork, will short
ly make a second venture. They
have under lease I 500 acres of land
in that vicinity. AS near as we can
now ascertain the we'll will be To-
Clted about 2 miles northeast of
Archers Fork and about 3 miles
southeast from the Elk run devel-

portant location and will be
