LETTER FROM A VERMONTER in
LOS ANGELES.

EDTTOR lHE MONITOR.
DEAR SIR:
notice in a recent issue of your
excellent paper an account of the
earthquake which occurred in San
Francisco April 18th.
The idea seems to be prevalent
among the people of the East that the
earthquake not only wrought great
damage to San Francisco and its
suburbs, but also extended south and
ruined the business section of Los
Angeles. AS many of your readers
have friends residing in this city, it
may be of interest to them to learn
few facts regarding the "quake."
The earthquake which started the
destruction of San Francisco was not
felt In this city, but later in the day
slight shock occurred which was
noticeable to the people inside the
high buildings. The writer was out
side and knew nothing of it until told
by those who were where they could
feel the buildings tremble. 1t did
absolutely no damage, not even
breaking a pane of glass or shaking
down q brick. The writer has known
of several shocks equal to this having
occurred at his home in Barton, vt.
Had it not followed a few hours after
! the great calamity at Frisco, no one
would have given it second thought.
In all the history of Southern Califor-
mia, from the days of San Franciscan
fathers, about $50 years, there has
not been serious earthquake in this
region. Los Angeles, and the country
round about within a radius of one
hundred miles, has never had within
the knowledge of man an earthquake
shock strong enough to do any
damage worth mentioning. In the
entire history of California and that
of the whole Pacific coast, down to
date of the San Francisco catastrophe,
less injury to property and less loss
of life has been inflicted by earth
quake than has often been caused by
a single tornado in one of the eastern
or central states, and most of the
damage in San Francisco was caused
by fire. A disaster similar to that of
| San Francisco may never occur again
in the United States, and according
to the leading scientists, it is as liable
to occur in Boston, New York or
Philadelphia as on the Pacific coast.
The people of the East do not realize
the magnitude of the state of Oalifor-
mia, which is nearly 800 miles in
length. Los Angeles is 4S4 miles from
Frisco, or about the distance of
Montpelier, VT, from Baltimore, Md.
Vermonters would laugh at the idea
of being frightened at an earthquake
in the vicinity of Baltimore or Wash
ington. There was absolutely no
damage done within 400 miles of Los
Angeles, and the damage to Frisco
from the earthquake alone would
have amounted to but a few million
dollars had it not been followed by
fire.
While the city has temporarily
suffered great loss, it will be rebuilt
and eventually will be larger and
more prosperous than before. AS a
result of the catastrophe, thousands
of people are coming to Los Angeles,
and much of the business which has
been going to Frisco is now coming
here, so that there is every indication
of greater prosperity for Southern
California than ever before.
Very truly yours,
w. L. JACOBS.
Los angeles, Cal May 8, 1906.

MUST PRESERVE BALLOTS

The county clerk has received notice
from the secretary of state directing
him to call the attention of election
officials to the amendment to the
election laws, passed at the last
session Of the legislature, with re-
ference to preserving ballots. The
amendment requires that all ballots
cast at the primaries and at an
election must be strung on wire and
placed in sack and the sack sealed
and delivered to the county clerk who
shall hold them for sixty days, when
they are to be destroyed. A penalty
is provided for noncompliance with
the law.
Canvass bags, which the amend
ment says must be supplied to cover
the ballots of an election for preser-
vation, will be furnished by the state,
the attorney general having rendered
all opinion that the county clerk need
not supply the bags. Last spring
there was dispute as to whether the
state or the county was to supply the
bags and as a result no sacks were fur
nished in many counties. The amend
ment involves an expenditure that
will be large to the state.

PRAISES ADVERTISING

"One of the most unique advertis-
ing schemes l have come across in
many years of travel all through the
country saw in Grand Rapids, Wis,
the other day, and it certainly was a
winner, said j. A. McMurphy, Osh-
koSh, Wis, to Milwaukee Free Press
Reporter, at the Schlitz hotel.
There's jeweler up in Grand
Rapids by the name of A. P. Hirzy,
and in his show window he has placed
long, narrow trough filled with
water. In this trough are seven mud
turtles, all about the same size, three
or four inches across the shell. On
each shell is one of the letters of Mr..
Hirzy's name. Now the jeweler offers
prize of S25 to any one, man, woman,
or child, who will find the seven
turtles in line so as to spell his name.
It's Che greatest scheme of its kind
that ever happened.
'"There's a crowd in front of the
window all the time, each person look
ing for that $25. Some of those people
stand there from morning until night
expecting every minute that the
turtles will get in the right position
and entitle him to the reward. l
stood there for about an hour myself
the other day, not looking for the S25,
but interested in the swimming of the
turtles and the way in which the
crowd watched them. Really, It's
much more interesting than any puz-
zle ever put before the public.
Zone naturally expects really new
and original things to originate in the
big cities, yet there never was more
novel idea than this and it's getting
the money, for the jeweler changes
his window display frequently and the
people are bound to look at it"

J. r. Ragan, of this city was elected
vice president Of the Wisconsin
Funeral Directors and EmbalmerS
Association. which met in annual
convention in Lacrosse, last week.
This is quite an honor and means the
election of Mr.. Ragan to the presi-
dency of the association at the con-
vention of that association which will
be held in the same city next summer.
In addition to being so honored, Mr..
Ragan was also elected delegate to
the National Association convention
which is meeting in Chicago this
week. In speaking of the convention
Mr.. Ragan stated that it was one of
the most successful conventions ever
held in this state. The convention

Jubilee, the association having been
organized in that city twenty-five
years ago, by nine members, four of
whom attended the convention last
week.

THE VILLAINY OF A TRUST

An example of the contemplate
methods employed by the baking
powder Trust to throttle legitimate
competition has recently been shown
in the daily press. The Trust has
caused to be printed in many daily
papers series of misleading articles
attacking the baking powders that
are fast driving the high priced Trust
powders out of the market. These
Trust articles appear as pure news
reading matter and are placed among
items of news to deceive the public
into thinking the articles are express
sions of the editor. They are nothing
but paid advertisements. 1t is only
oy such deception and chicanery that
the Trust can hoodwink the people
into paying forty-five to fifty cents a
pound for baking powder. The best
baking powder in the world can be
made to retail for twenty-five cents a
pound, but by these exorbitant prices
dividends on the watered stock of
their corporation.
The Trust articles state that pre-
niiums are given with Calumet Bak-
ing Powder. This is branded as a
Uy UiC Sdl DdhILS
Powder Company. No premiums are
needed to call Calumet. Such con-
temptible methods are what might be
expected from Trust whose principal
stOckholder was under Indictment in
Missouri for bribing members of the
legislature to keep on the statute
books law designed TO give the Trust
monopoly Of the baking powder busi-
ness in that state. The Baking
Powder Trusts sO-called Legislative
agent" is still a fugitive from Justice,
living in a, foreign country, and dareS
not return to the United States.
These attacks cannot injure Calumet
Baking Powder because housewives
know its true merit. The materials
used are selected With the greatest
care and submitted to rigid analysis;
then bv the use of modern chemical
methods so accurately proportioned
and perfectly mixed that complete
naturalization occurs Therefore food
prepared with Calumet Baking Powder
does not contain Rochelle Salts, Alum,
Lime of Ammonia; and to go further.

to pay One Thousand Dollars to the

substance is found in food prepared

state, Physically and mentally he
had few superlOrs. The picturesque
figure of the trapper follows close
behind the Indian in the unfolding of
the panorama of Northern Wisconsin.
His adventurous warfare upon the
wild things of the North woods was
his daily occupation. The flash Of the
paddle, the crack Of the rife, the
stealthy tracking of wild beasts, the
fearless contest Of man against brute
and savage, were his past time. He
was often an adYenturer pure and
simple.
The fur industry brought to the
North a new class of men. the rangers
of the woods, who became tie peddlers
of the wilderness. In the hayday OF
the fur trade, when twenty beaver
skins were got for an axe, the profits
were enormous. Two partners have
taken out of the North woods 5000, 900
worth of furs in one season. OF all
the occupations, trapping is one Of
the MoSt cruel things a person can do
1t seems unjusts to taxpayers of

THE TRAPPER AND
TIMBER CRUISER

The trapper and timber cruiser, the
fur trader and lumberman, are twin
brothers Of the wilderness. Every
step taken in the development of the
lumber industry has left an ugly scar
on the face of the forest. Every i'm
provement, from the bow and arrow
to the automatic repeating rifle, has
tempted the hunter to become a des-
troyer. The Northern Jrapper must
ever stand as type of the worst and
best Of the heroes Of mankind. Per-
haps the underlined thing which we
cannot understand about the pine
tree lumberman is the secret Of their
great success combined with that Of
their total failure.
Men are no better, nor worse, in the
wilderness or in civilization, nor does
race or color appear exactly to define
quality. The. Indian was a good
specimen of mankind in the hunters

The Yellowstone Park better known
as the National park, in Wyoming, is
so popular that everybody either has
seen it or wants to see it, on account
of its many attractions. Some time
during the coming year the people of
Grand Rapids will have an oppor-
tunity to visit this attraction in a
special car for that purpose. A
Decker has organized a club whose
members will decide upon the most
favorable time TO visit this park. At

F0RGERER ESCAPES JAIL

Harry Ames VanAuken, the for
gerer whose escapes were chrOnicled
in these columns several weeks ago,
and who was arrested in Manistique,
Mich, and was being held for trial at
the next term of the Circuit Court in
that district of Michigan, escaped
with two other prisoners last WedneS-
day During the absence of the
sheriff, according to the story of Van
Auken, haIf-breed Indian, who was
incarcerated in the same baStile,
sawed the bars and together with two
others escaped. The two prisoners
who accompanied him on his leave of
absence, were killed on the lake shore
some miles from ManiStique by the
sheriff's posse, but VanAuken walked
by the officers under direct fire at
distance of ten feet, returned to
Manistique. and boarded a train for
Chicago.
Scarcely had he arrived in that city
before he cashed a $500 forged check,
on one of the best hotels in the city,
duped several other small hotels, and
was preparing to spend his time in
taking bis ease when Detective John
Flynn arrested him on complaint of
his wife, who was formerly Miss
Laura Jackson, of Minneapolis.
VanAuken prides himself on his
ability, md manner of dressing, and
braggs that he will kill we'll known
Dearbourn street merchant for the
alienation of his wife's affections. 1t
is for this purpose be claims, that he
came to Chicago, and states that the
forged checks he passed on Manager
Whitney Of this city and others, were
thought by him to have been bona
fide. He lays the blame for their
worthleSsness to the Treasurer of the
VauAuken Smith Coal Co. of Min
neap0liS.
1t is althogether probable that Van
Auken will be returned to Manistique,
Mich, where justice will be meted
out to him some time this month.
