BUSINESS EDUCATION
AT ITS BEST-A GREAT
COMMERCIAL SCHOOL

A Herald representative recently had
the pleasure of visiting the Issacs-
Woodbury. Business college in the new
Hamburger building, Los Angeles, and
was greatly surprised at its magnitude
and splendid quarters and equipment.
The college Is located on the fifth
floor, above the public library, and
occupies 10000 square feet of floor
space. 1t has frontages on Hill and
Eighth streets, and also surrounds a
large light we'll, giving 1t about 500
feet of street and light frontage, the
major portion of which is composed
of windows. The ceilings are sixteen
feet high, and this, together with per-
feet ventilation and abundant light,
makes the school room ideal, the air
being pure and clean.
One very important feature is that
the Issacs- Woodbury. quarters are
about 100 feet above the street, thus
being removed from noise, dust and
the distracting street confusion.
The view of city and mountains
from the college windows is both beau
tiful and inspiring.
We were also agreeably surprisd in
find a larg attendance even in mid
summer. The quality OF the students
seemed much above the average in
personality and intelligence-no doubt
Mr.. e. K. Isaacs is the active head
OF the college, having been it's presi-
dent since 1903. The school was found
ed in 1884 by F. G. Woodbury., whose
name 1t has carried until recently,
when the board of directors by reso-
luton adopted the modified name,
"Isaccs Woodbury."
Mr. Isaacs has associated with him
an unusually strong staff of officers
and teachers. Mr.. M. e. Austin is the
vice president OF the corporation, and
principal of the commercial depart
ment-a position which he has filled
with great credit during the past five
years, having brought his department
to a high state of efficiency. Miss Mary
G. Askew Is secretary of the corpora
ton and principal of the shorthand
and twpewrlting department. Miss As
kew is a teacher of exceptional ability,
and under her management the Isaacs-
Woodbury. shorthand department has
attained a reputation Of excellency
that is a very valuable asset to the
school.
We asked Mr.. Isaacs what he did
with such a large number of students
after graduation. He replied that the
placing of Isaacs-W Woodbury. graduates
was the least of his troubles; that the
school had been doing good, honest and
effective work a quarter of a century,
and was so well and favorably known
by business firms that its graduates
were always in demand; that 1t was
not unusual for employers to make, ap-
plication a month or more in advance,
asking the management to select some
bright young person of adaptable quail
tiles to be supplied to them upon grad
uation.
The Isaacs-W Woodbury. formerly occu-
pied a two-story building at 800 South
Hill street. We inquired why the fifth
story of the Hamburger building was
preferred to the old location, and Mr.,
Isaacs said the advantages Of the new
location were many and apparent and
that the most serious objection to

Pinkham, the second officer, two en-
gineers and twelve seamen aboard.
All the party were well in spite or

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.--Even though
Tom Byram didn't arrive to marry
Susie Best in her home in Dover, N.
j., a week ago yesterday and Susie
had to dismiss the whispering guests
and go to bed weeping, she is Mrs.

For Toms excuse for staying aWay

The ceremony was performed by
Rev. James H. Cleary, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal church. Miss Sophia

HALF HUNDRED AIRSHIPS

PARIS, Sept. 5.-The minister Of war
has appointed General Roques com
1nander-in-chie of French military
aeroplaning. He has also decided to
ask for a credit next year of $4OO,0OO

Men Rescued After Six Days in
Small Boats Without
Food or Water
FIRE CONSUMES SHIP STORES
IAssociated Pressl

FISHGUARD, Wales, Sept. 5.-The
steamer Mauretania arrived here to-
day, hoving on board Captain Pinkham
and fifteen of his crew, who were
picked up by the Cunarder after they
had been at sea in a small boat for six
days following the burning of their
vessel, the British tramp steamer West
Point.
Captain Pinkham said the fire on the
West Point started in the engine room
on August 27. The flames drove the
engineers from their posts and spread
so rapidly that soon the donkey en-
gines operating the pumps were dis
abled by the heat.
An attempt was made to extinguish
the fire by a bucket brigade, but the
hopelessness of the effort was quickly
apparent and the captain ordered small
boats lowered. From the bunkers the
flames made their way to the store
room and galley and prevented the
provisioning of the boats, the intense
heat repeatedly driving back the sail
ors who hoped to secure food sufficient
to keep them until they were picked up
by a passing vessel.
CREW STANDS BY SHIP
Though pressed hard by the fire the
crew stood by their ship until Sunday
afternoon, when the captain ordered
all hands into the boats.
Throughout that night the boats,
each carrying sixteen persons, cruised
in the vicinity, and in the morning
another attempt was made to secure
much needed stores. The burning
craft, which was then sinking, was
again boarded, but scarcely anything
of consequence was secured.
Monday evening the ship foundered.
The two small boats last Wednesday
drifted apart. The other boatload was
picked up by the LELAND line steamer
Devonian Friday morning, while Cap
tain Pinkham and his companions were
rescued by the Mauretania Friday
night.
The captain and the men suffered Sc
yerely, and only by dint OF hard work
saved their boat from sinking.
1--WE suffered horrors" said Captain
Pinkham, in telling his story. I'VE
were without food, or wateR and were
very cold. The men had to bail the
boat necessarily to keep it afoat."

BOYS LONGING FOR FAME
GETS HIM IN PRISON

ENID, Okla, Sept. 5.--Had the plans
of Ralph Garrison, aged 20, of Still
water, okla, gone we'll, he might have
been a hero tonight. But his plan
failed and now he is q prisoner here.
Garrison removed the spikes and fish
plates from several rails on the Rock
island bridge over Deer Creek, near
La Homa, thirteen miles northwest of
here, last Saturday, intending to flag
an incoming passenger train and warn
the engineer of the perilous condition
Of the track. He thought he might
receive a Carnegie medal and money
for his warning. But before the train
appeared a gang Of section men dis
covered the damaged track and re-
paired 1t.
Railroad detectives arrested Garrison
and he confessed. He said he had no
desire to cause the wreck, but the long
ing for fame led him to commit the
deed.

DECLARES COPPER
SITUATION GOOD
Magnate Here from Visit to the
Mines Optimistic on Future
of the Red Metal

D. C. Jackling, vice president and
general manager of the famous Ray
Consolidated copper mines in Arizona,
general manager of the Utah Copper
company and of the Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper company, heavy stock
holder in Chino Copper company at
Santa Rita, New Mexico, and one of
the wealthiest and best known mining
men in the western part Of the United
States, is in Los Angeles in his pri-
vate car, on a tour of his mining prop
critics. Mr.. Jackling is stopping at the
Alexandria hotel for few days before
leaving for the Ray claims in Arizona.
while the copper market Is a trifle
overstocked at present" said Mr.. jack
ling last evening, 'it is, nevertheless,
in a very healthy condition. We are
getting fair price for our copper and
the big producers are satisfied.
"The companies am connected with
are making some big improvements In
smelterS and plants-improVem
which are costing thousands of dollars
Already our plant In Salt Lake City,
Utah, is one OF the sights of the state,
and we are making 1t larger. That
particular plant produces copper each
year, valued at, If remember
correctly, about the same as the en-
tire citrus output Of Southern Califor-
MIA. Our yearly output is about
twelve or thirteen million dollars, and
I believe the citrus fruit production
about equals that. In order to produce
such an amount of copper 1t takes a
big plant, and we have 1t. Why, do
you know. our one plant in Salt Lake
county handles one-fifth as much ma
terial per day as Is handled on the
canal?
TELLS OF BIG PRODUCTION
"At present the western section Of
the United States is producing about
25 per cent of the copper in North
America. OF this the four companies
in which I am a stockholder produce
80 per cent Our mines in Utah, when
present improvements are installed,
will produce 15O000,000 pounds per
year; the Nevada Consolidated will
produce 100000 pounds per year, the
Ray and other holdings in Arizona will
produce 76,000,000 pounds per year, and
the Chino Copper company will pro-
duce 50,000,00O pounds per year. This
makes a total of 350,000.0OO tons per
year and goes to show you that the
copper mining industry is a great one,
even greater than most people
imagine.
There is no regular understanding
among the big copper producers of the
west. We do not want to boost the
price of copper way up, and there Is
no combination among US to do such
thing. We are satisfied with a reason
able price, such as prevails now. Why2
Easily explained. When the price Of
copper climbs. as it did just after the
panic of 1907, the consumers begin to
use substitutes. Aluminium, babbitt
metal and other substitutes are found
at a reasonable price, and copper either
is forced to come down or does not sell.
We producers with the big plants can
not afford to have 1t not selling regu-
larly; therefore we do not boost it,"
