THEATER MANAGERS HAVE
UPHILL WORK IN NORTH
HAYMAN TELLS OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO HARDsHIPS
Syndicate Chief Says He May Have
Important Los Angeles An
nounce cement-Canvas and
Wood Freely Used

In all probability the powerful the
atrical syndicate will have to play its
shows in San Francisco this winter in
tent or a wooden shack built over
one.
AL Hayman, head of the syndicate,
who was here yesterday from San
Francisco, went back there last night
to complete arrangements along this
line If possible.
The syndicate house, the Columbia,
in San Francisco, burned with every
thing else last April and there has been
no syndicate show there since.
The Orphcum has wooden .theater
at the Chutes and several other canvas
playhouses have gone up since then in
which stock companies are playing,
but though the syndicate managers
started work on new Columbia as
soon as possible, it is many months
from completion.
Hayman looked over the Davis tent
house while in San Francisco with the
idea of enclosing it in boards and max
ing out with 1t this winter, but 1t is
too small. He went back to try to get
the Central, also canvas structure,
which, IL obtained, he will board up
and use.
While in Los Angeles Mr. Hayman
went over the local situation with H.
c. Wyatt of the Mason, the local syn
dicate manager. 1t was announced that
no new plans were made, though Mr..
Hayman said that he might have some
things of interest to disclose when he
returned to New York.
Things theatrical are looking bad in
San Francisco, as Fred Belasco, also
here, admits.

our new Alcazar theater," said he,

BROOKLYN MoToRMEN FESTIVE
Elevated Railroad Employees Seek Old
Rate of Pay
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept 26-The Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company is having
trouble with the motormen on the ele
waited systems, who have demanded
return to the old rate of pay, which was
$3.50 per day. A committee represent
ing the men recently called on Presi-
dent Winter and presented the demand
and also presented grievances affecting
the hours and trips of the motormen.
According to employees the committee
received little satisfaction, and as
result there has been considerable
strike talk.
F.. A. Burgers, acting grand chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers in this state, and c. A. Wilson,
vice grand master of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, with which or
ganization the motormen are affiliated,
were called in. They had a conference
with President Winter and at the con-
clusion said their talk had been salts
factory. Delegate Wilson said there
was no basis for strike talk.

POPLAR STORE is ENLARGED
After Quarter Century Successful Ca
reer Mullen G. BIuett's Continues
to Grow

About a quarter of a century ago,
when the business section of Los
Angeles bordered on the Plaza, after
five years of active business life up
town." the firm of Mullen & Bluett
established their store, a modest con-
Germ as compared to that of today,
on the corner of First and Spring
streets. Year by year the business
of this Well-knoWn firm has grown,
keeping pace with the phenomenal de-
velopment of the city, and late changes
and additions made easily places the
Mullen g. Bluett stores in the class
Of big establishments of the country.
An addition 55x75, two stories in
height, has just been added to the
already large store room, and the
business now covers over an acre and
a quarter of floor space. The center
store has been refitted with oak furni=
ture OF the mission style. New clothing
and hat cases that are dust proof and
easily accessible, ceilings and walls
have been decorated and new carpets
laid, making the immense emporium
a most attractive place indeed. The
new addition will be devoted excluS-
lively to children's and boys furnish
ings, hats etc, and the arrangements
of this new department are uniquely
good. The new gents furnishing de-
partment is equipped with all glass
cases and filled with all manner of
up-to-date essentials to the careful
dresser's wardrobe. The mems cloth
ing department is complete as to furn-
ishing, and the arrival Of fall and win
ter goods are as new from the hands
of the tailors as the store is from the
finishing touches of the decorative
artists.
When a business house can say
1--WE have served the public acceptably
for over a quarter of century," that
means simply a continuation of public
confidence, and as this store has al
ways followed the policy of giving
something good for the purchasers
money, the confidence reposed I'm the

GET CITY SCHOOL BENEFITS

Joined to the city for school purposes
this year will escape the payment of

miles of territory, with valuation of
over $13,OO0,0OO, which would net tax
of about $4,000.

in the Paris Frankfort express. Short
ly after leaving Metz a wonderful
panorama developed in the horizon on
the western side. The sun seemed to
light up the whole Alpine chain, the
great mass of Mont Blanc stood out
clearly marked, its sides covered with
snow and its glaciers rejecting the
snubeams. At one moment the lake
of Geneva was visible, it's water
tinged greenish blue. The mirage
faded only at sunset, as the train

From Crockett, Texas.

Ed. Register:-The weather re-
port from Arcadia Valley shows
that you are having as great heat
as there is in this part of the South.
The summer has been fine, with
frequent rains. Garden products
and fruits have been immense.
Crop reports all over the State are
unusually fine. 1t is said that the
watermelon patch of Texas will
produce about 120, 100000 MELONS,
and that one town, jacksonville,
will receive between one-half and
a million dollars for peaches
shipped. Last year the merchants
were afraid to buy goods sufficient
for use, but now prosperity can be
seen everywhere.
This finely watered and wooded
country has been overlooked by
people who wanted to strike camp
or build a cabin, and go to plow-
ing on western prairies; but now
they are coming, and coming for
business. In my judgement it is
an inviting land to people who de-
sire to procure homes cheap, where
two and three crops can be raised
on the same ground in one year.
Anything will grow, from figs to
thistles, and figs are ripe in abund-
ance.
Our garden and chicken crop
would have been a Joy to any
family calling themselves by any
UNCONVENTIONAL name; even an
Episcopalian would have enjoyed
some of our chickens. You can tell
Mrs. Bell, of Belleview, that the
fine white rooster she gave me,
committed suicide by hanging
himself high up in thorn tree, on
Fort Hill. This I considered a
disgrace to that stock of chickens.
But he was a noble rooster.
Our health is good, and l am
thankful to say that my throat is
we'll. We rejoice in any good that
has come to the Valley, and
especially rejoice over the revival
meeting in Arcadia.
Our church work progresses
some all the time, and good inter-
est is shown with steady increase
in all departments. We had a
good revival of religion. 1t seems
that the goodness of God is grac'
iously shown almost everywhere
this year, and what a pity thai
there is one ungrateful heart
Why not everybody live so tha
they can sing:
"Great God of nations, now to Thee
Our hymn of gratitude we raise;
With humble heart and bending knee,
We offer Thee our song of praise"
