We suggest that the political
dopesters who are estimating
the strength of certain candi-
dates by the amount of noise a
string of subsidized newspapers
are making in their behalf are
following a "bum steer - Such
papers have been known to holler
their heads off before and still
not land the delegates.

Odin Halden OF Duluth is being
mentioned for the republican
nomination for state auditor, but
he hasn't cut into VERSIONS
strength much to date. At any

G. A. Pidgeon ought to land as
clerk of the supreme court for
another term without much

Pidgeon has made a fine record

shares this sentiment.

WINDSTORM DOES MUCH
DAMAGE ON PENINSULA
Telegraph Poles Are Blown Down and
Traffic Is stopped on Baden
short Cut

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Dec L.
One of the severest windstorms expert
enced here for years did considerable
damage for miles around yesterday aft
ernoon and evening. Trees were torn
up by the roots and fences blown over,
causing much damage and inconveni-
ence.
Nearly all the telegraph poles were
blown over between Tanforan race
track and Baden station. Many of them
fell across the railroad track, causing
all the fast trains to go via this city,
and much delay in their schedule time
resulted. A gang of men were en-
ployed all day today clearing the tracks
and repairing the telegraph lines, but
it was not until evening that trains
could use the short cut again.

OIL MEN CRYING
FOR MORE CARS

LOS ANGELES. Dec. ACCORDING to
evening newspaper. probably the
greatest handicap to the oil industry
in California at this time is the short
age of oil tank cars. which has grown
until it is said that there are not more
than half enough OF these In commits
sion to handle the product. Six hun
dred additional cars are said to be bad
ly needed at the present time. In their
absence it has been necessary to pro-
vide extensive storage accommoda tions
or to keep vast quantities locked in
the ground by means OF tightly plugged
wells.
Oil operators and ailway officials
agree that it is deplorable condition.
The latter claim that it is something
that cannot be remedied immediately
The Southern Pacific. Santa Fe and
Salt Lake railroads have each ordered
additional equipment but they are not
hopeful of an immediate betterment Of
conditions.

DEVICE FOR FEELING TREES
INVENTED BY OAKLAND MEN
Consists of Planes Clamped on Tree
Which support Bandsaw Re-
tween Them

OAKLAND. Dec. IA device for
telling heavy trees more economically
and expeditiously than by hand, has
been patented by two Oakland invent
'ors, S. j. Gray and John Horning. The
invention consists of planesA which are
clamped on each side of the tree and
support bandsaw between them,
which is operated by power from a
small donkey engine.
Provision for telling a tree in any
direction is secured by an attachment
which allows the initial cut of the
saw to be made at at angle from below
after which the planes can be shifted
and horizontal cut made from the
other side, which will finish severing
the trunk. Any size tree can be felled
by this invention and it is claimed it
can be utilized for cutting up logs on
the ground.

still lives and is conscious of all that
is going on around him To all ques-

his hat was taken from him
He is evidently a German, about so
years Of age. and has been around here
for two or three days. doing odd jobs
whenever he could find them. His
right ankle is badly swollen. probably
from rheumatism resulting from ex-
posure at night. and his suffering was
probably the cause OF his attempt at
