SmithsOn on Local Option.

J. H. Smithson, state senator from
this district, is spending Sunday here
taking a short rest from his duties
in the legislature, says the Ellens-

this morning expressed himself as
very much pleased with the progress
of affairs in that body. He said that
both the house and senate have got
ten down to business and things ara
running with the smoothness of clock
wOlk.
in regard to the local option bill,
which is of general interest, Mr..
Smithson said: Eyes, the bill passed
the house, and at the time of its
passage caused considerable excite
ment. But as to its passing the SEN
ate, that is a different matter. I do
not believe that the McMasters local
option bill in it's present form will
ever go through. 1t is probable that
a local option bill will be passed, bat
it will be either amodifiei form of the
McMasters bill or an entirely new
bill which is not so radical and bet
ter suited to the present needs"

ROWE IS N
FUNDS AGAIN
PRETTY STORY OF POPULAR
SHOW MAN Is SENT ABROAD
GOES BROKE AND PAYS HIS
CREDITORS.

To have his property sold under
the hammer; his creditors paid off on
basis of Is cents on the dollar; to
be discharged in court a bankrupt,
then to raise $150,OOO and send in
checks in full to all creditors who
had settled their claims on a Is per
cent basis, within a period of three
months-that is the extraordinary
achievement credited to H. S. Rowe,
proprietor of the Norris & Rowe cir
lcus, so well known on the coast
The story of the recent financial
troubles of the Norris & Rowe circus
reads more like pretty piece of fic-
ton than a transaction in business
in this prosaic old world-but, at
any rate, Rowe is at the head of the
circus again, and here's the story
that's told:
''The starting of Norris & Rowe's
financial troubles dates back to the
spring of 1906, when the great fire
and earthquake that visited Califor-
mia caught the showmen in it's mesh
es. Their daily expenses exceeded
$4,000, and they were playing to an
average business of $3.50. When the
glib circus got north as far as Port
| land, the effects of the earthquake
were not noticeable, and the bust
ness of the show jumped to its usual
proportions.
along in the fall the circus made
a tour of Mexico, and the bad luck
they had encountered earlier in the
season returned, and as a result of
the Mexican tour the finances of the
firm were greatly reduced. They man
aged to get out of the country, and
were on their way home through Ari-
IONA when the floods took bridges
away, and again the circus had bad
luck. They were compelled to lay in
Globe, Ariz., for 13 days, and after
they were able to get away they were
compelled to cancel all of the dates
that had been advertised and make
a jump to Santa Cruz, Cal, the win
ter home of the show. When they
got home they figured up their losses
on the season and found them to be
s97,
THE show took the road again
next year, and was only fairly sue
cessful. The following year the
panic came on. and it seemed impos-
sible for the showmen to strike their
former successful pace.
unable to meet their obligations,
they were forced into bankruptcy,
their property sold under the ham,
mer and Norris & Rowe were practic
ally penniless.
''Now here is where the pretty part
of the story comes in. In the sue
cessful days H. S. Rowe grub-staked
a friend named LIE Roy to $4,000 and
sent him to Alaska to seek his for
tune. That was the last heard Of
him or the money.
when the news of the bankruptcy
proceedings were published through
the land, LIE Roy, in Alaska, read of
his friends trouble. He got busy
with the telegraph wire and as re-
suit Rowe was made aware that
$150,O00 was his. Mr.. Rowe i'm
mediately purchased his show back,
and then made out checks in full
payment for all the creditors who
had settled their claims against him.
"The Greater Norris & Rowe cir
Gus, with H. S. Rowe sole owner and
general manger, without owing any
man a dollar, will take the road in
the spring."
