Two Hurt When Scaffold FaIls.-A
terrific crash shortly after 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, drew all eyes in
the vicinity of Second and Main
streets to the roofless top of the
First National bank building, where
they encountered an immense cloud of
dense white powder and caused hun
dreds of pedestrians to hold their
breath for fear of serious results. The
crash was made by the fall of the
scaffolding erected over the third
floor of the building which is now be-
ing built by John Soller The scaffold-
Ing was resting on one of the ancient
Joists placed in 1854 and this broke
through, allowing scaffolding, rocks.

Fred Marsh, $40 Rock Island street,
was also on the scatfold and fell to the
floor. He received harder fall and
was far more shocked than the other
man but his injuries consist only of
several bruises, especially across the
back and shoulders. Both men were
taken to st. Luke's hospital in the
ambulance and cared for but Mr.
Marsh has been taken to his home.
Mr.. McGuinn will probably be confined
for several weeks.

to struggle through its early life with a

Transportation Facilities
may be neglected when forest is planted,
but may become a bugbear at the time of
marketing. No more important feature
exists in a commercial timber project. The
main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad
crosses our forest, and has a shipping siding
upon the land at the present time.
Our Geographical Location
is perfect, the forest lying midway between
the principal cities of the San Joaquin Val
ley and Los Angeles to the south, and San
Francisco and the large Bay cities to the
north, which insures the best possible mar
ket for the product.
The Size of Our Forest

isolated tract is past. Says T. B. Walker,
millionaire timber king: 1T is only in large
tracts that timber can be economically ad-

antees every advantage to its purchasers.
Think of This
That portion of its holding here described
is an unbroken tract of 1900 acres. This
means forest of 100000 trees representing
a timber value on the stump of more than
three and half million dollars in a single
cutting.
Every owner in this forest whether he
holds one acre or fifty, shares proportionateM
in these PROFITS. The forest is divided and
sold in groves of approximately 100 acres
each, which are marketed as a whole This
permits the holder of even single acre to
share every advantage of the large forest
owners This insures higher prices for his
holdings than would be possible If his trees
were isolated and thus deprived of the
strength which inheres in the larger acreage
of wealthier holders.
Small Tracts
are commercially handicapped. The size of
our forests places us in a dominating posi-
ton, exactly the reverse of the small tract
owner, and our method of selling insures to
the smallest holder of acreage in Glenarden
reserve every advantage naturally inhering
to the holder of thousands of acres.

did not please Captain Coy and Head

the day was when Fred Murphy went
in as halfback in the second half and
tore off a few gains, 1t was his first
appearance at half this year, and ne
was given a great ovation by the as

The scrimmage began by the scrub

receiving the ball on the 10-yard line
and running about ten yards before he

fecker. Irwin tried left tackle and
failed and Ramsdell was able to gain

ITHACA, n. Y, Oct. Light work

again yesterday. The weather vas too
hot for a hard scrimmage and the
backfield and line candidates were
drilled separately. The linemen were
sent against each other in two squads,
and all varsity men showed consistent
advancement in the game. O'Connor,
Monk, Weeks and Seagraves fought
hard, breaking up the scrub line for
play after play. There was a short
period when the scrub was unable to
penetrate the regulars defense, but
this did not last long.

Hard S%crimmaging at Harvard.
Some Improvement Noticed
in Crimson Work.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Oct. with
all of his injured men out for light
work, Haughton, the head coach, gave
the Harvard varsity a short, hard
scrimmage against the second team.
Corbett, Smith and rockingham were
all on the field, ready for work, but the
doctor will hold them out of the scrim-
mage for a few days. Rogers continued
at right halfback, and showed more
speed than yesterday. He held the ball
better in line plays and was good in
Interference. The big fellow may de-
velop into the right man for the po-
sitiou.
After the first touchdown a number
of subs went into the varsity line
up, Rogers continued, but Wrlggles-
worth replaced O'Flaherty and gave a
fine exhibition of generalship. He
showed great versatility in selection of
plays and was quick to pick weak
places in the opposing line. 1t was his
first chance with the varsity, and from
all appearances O'Flaherty VIII rave to
fight to hold his position.
