The end of the only timber fraud
case tried in Washington came this
morning when Judge Huneke dis
missed the case pending against G..
l.. Brokaw. Brokaw has been In the
county Jail since last March.
The federal authorities arrested
Brokaw with F. S. Barrett and f.
w. Bone, charging them with de.
frauding the government of timber
land. Bone and Barrett pleaded
guilty and were sentenced by Judge
Hanford to serve one year in the
county jail at Seattle. Brokaw
jumped his bonds ana later sur.
rendered himself at Honolulu.
The trio induced Joseph Plastino
and 30 other Italians to locate on
timber land in Montana, agreeing
to pay them $1,000 when they
should prove up on their claims.
The Italians paid $500 each for
location expenses.
President Roosevelt recently par.
doned Barrett and Bone. Plastino
had Brokaw arrested on the charge
OF obtaining money under false pre-.
lenses as soon as the federal fury
acquitted him, and it was this
charge that was dismissed today.

the stage she was spouting a streak
OF French that sounded like cuss
words. The scene shutters spent q
lively half hour fussing with prop
critics until she was appeased.
The presentation Of Camille"
was great work of art. At G.
Madame Bernhard gave as finish
ed a portrayal Of the emotional
butterfly character of Marguerite
as at any time In her~career.
From a matinee girls standpoint
Armand Duval was very disappoint-
ing in appearance. He looked any
thing but the lover of the brilliant
Marguerite. In the first act his
clothes did not fit him. He made q
better appearance in evening dress.
Despite the fact that many of the
byplays in the drama were left out
the production was a pleasing and
finished one.

1t was in very petulant frame
of mind that Madame Sarah Bern

Camille" at the Natatorium Park
skating rink last night. A unmber

peevish.
Madame Bernhard drove to the
park in an open carriage. In de-
scending the hill the driver of the
carriage nearly turned |. over and

SAN FRANCISCO GROWS
LIKE A MINING CAMP
HUNDREDS OF TEMPORARY BUILDINGS REPLACING THE OLE
MARKET STREET WILL FOLLOW SAME LINES.

One firm has. closed contracts for
100 firstclass buildings and has con.
tracts to clear the debris on 100
lots in the business section.
The report from New York of the
big syndicate to rebuild the city is
a reality and has greatly encour-
aged the citizens, who are going
forward on their own hook to re-
organize their business. Those with
small credit will be obliged to wait
for an insurance settlement.
1t is now certain that Market
street will hold its own and that
the city will be built practically on
the old lines so far as the location
of the various forms Of business is
concerned.

A curious relic of the old days of the
paper duties which so much hampered
journalistic enterprise in the first half
of the nineteenth century is the first
number of Berthold's Political Hand

on cotton fabric instead of paper. 1t
is dated London, Saturday, Sept. 3,
1881; price, fourpence. And the letter
press. which is fairly legible, is as re-
markable as the material on which it is
printed. The tone of this news rag is
intensely radical, but it reproduces the
order of ceremonial to be observed at
the coronation of King William ". and
Queen Adelaide on the following
Thursday, and it is announced that
proclamation to the people of Europe
will appear in our next cotton" 1t
is embellished with a medallion wood
