Plot Of "TheDay Of Souls
| Worked Out in This CITY
Chicago Post.

Charles Tenney jackson, the
author. Of the great novel "The
Day of Souls" which begins
serial publication in The Sunday
Call October 23, has made an5ex-
haustive study of San FrancfscO,
which Is the scene of his story.
The plot of ''The Day of Souls
began to work out In his mind
when he was sOjourning here
about FIVE years before the fire.
He had seen the city rebuilding
after it's disaster, however, be-
! fore the novel was written. He
was here during the heat of re-
= construction, and the following
paragraph from letter to an
eastern friend gives an idea of
HIS Impressions at that time;
"Iife here this summer is not
going to be any dream of rest
fog and dust as never before, and
up through the chaos goes the
rush and roar of the mightiest
building, the most titanic activ-
ity Of man since the tower of
Babel was under way, and L
guess for n gnashing of teeth
and an ebuIIience of humors and
confusion of tongues this has
that old stone pile beat block
as well. It's inconceivabIe, be-
wilderinE-it always amazes me
anew. who was ever amazed by
the Kaleidoscope life and en-
trancements of this astonishing
city"
Here is what the Oakland Tri-
bune has to say of "Trle Day of
SOuis," which begins in The Sum
day Call one week from next
Sunday:
"The same vigor, the same
strength, the same appreciation
of virile, strenuous life that
marked the work of Frank Nor
ris, marks the work of Charles
Tenney jackson. With strong
hands, with mighty strokes, he
has nodded the life of a city. The
optimism of The Day of Souls,
must carry a lesson of hcIpfuI-
ness into many lives, and its in
tense Interest brings its forceful
appeal"

The Union Pacific has put on a
through tourist service to Denver and
Kansas City on train No. 4, which
leaves San Francisco daily at a. M,
in addition to the service on the train
leaving at p. m., known as the China
and Japan fast mail to Kansas City,
Omaha and Chicago.
The Topeka and Northwestern
branch of the Union Pacific, which has
been under construction for five years
between Topeka and Marysville, Kan,
is nearly ready for operation and is to
be opened for traffic November l. The
new road is to be made a part of a
new freight route to the west and
northwest. The effect will be saving
OF "a miles in distance and several
hours In time to this coast. So far as
passenger service is concerned 1t prob
ably will be confined to local train
service between Topeka and Marysville
and may be extended to Lincoln and
Omaha over the Blue valley branch of
the Union Pacific.
The Santa Fe has just published and
distributed pamphlet entitled. why
Railroads Need Higher Rates. and it
contains the arguments advanced by E.
p. Ripley while a witness before the
examiner OF the interstate commerce
commission in Chicago August 20 and
30 In support of the advances in freight
rates suspended by the commission.
Hipley's evidence Is given in full from
the stenographic report
The publication is a complete exposi-
ton of the argument of the western
roads Tor increased revenue from the
position of the Santa Fe in particular
though In its broader aspect it is a
valuable comment by a recognized an
thority on the railroad situation In
general 1t is made convenient for ref
erence by complex index Of the SUBJ
Jscfs covered, and the booklet presents
asso comments by newspapers in Rip
ley's testimony.

CAPTAIN w. G. LEALE, who is well
known in railroad circles and has
Just returned from the east, tells
a funnys story about himself. Before
he went on the trip he had occasion
to visit the Transportation club at the
Palace hotel. He had just entered the
lobby of the hotel when stranger ac
costed him.
II beg pardon; could you tell me
what this Transportation club is?'
Captain Leale replied that he could,
and invited the stranger to dinner
showing him the clubrooms and intro
ducing him to number of members.
'Inasmuch as there was to be an excur-
sion on the bay the next day, under the
auspices of the club, Captain Leale in
vited the stranger to that as well. The
stranger accepted, and after an enjoy
able day parted company with Cap
tain Leale with many words Of thanks.
Captain Leale dismissed the matter
from his mind. He did not think of 1t
until he was in Chicago. There he met
the stranger again. The tables were
turned: he found himself the honored
guest of one of the most prominent
citizens. the stranger being one OF the
best known members of the ways and
means committee of the house of rep
resentatives. Captain Lea1e was al
ready famous, however, for the con-
gressman had spread the tale of west
ern hospitality far and wife.
