This Is a story Of how q comfortable
little fortune was spent In three weeks:
It wasn't sQuAndered, and in Its way
that fortune put potential wealth into
the hands OF more than 155, 900 per
sons In Chicago.
To begin At the beginning: When
tho third Chicago Land Show was be-
ing planned tho Union and Southern
Pacinc railroad companies began to
plan also how they could attract their
share OF the hundreds of thousands
that would visit che show, to their ter
ritory. Many things we're discussed
the nrSt being the idea of booths in
which to display the products grown
along the lines of the RAILROADS.
That won't do" said Gerritt Fort
and Charles s. Fee, passenger trafnc
managers OF the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads. We've got to have
something different this year. Last
year We showed what our farmers
can do. This year we want to show
what all Of us can do"
Plan to 9pend 4 Fortune.
And right there began the plans
for spending this fortune. After doz-
On different suggestions had been
thrashed out there was evolved the
one used, that Of having two moving
picture palaces built into the Coliseum
at Chicago and there showing stereop-
ticon and moving pictures not only Of
farm life but OF town and city life
along the Union and Southern Pacific
lines.
Twenty thousand dollars was the
sum decided upon as necessary to
make the display. The space at the
Coliseum that was allotted to the rail-
roads was put in the hands of NOV

the designing and building Of motion
picture houses-and he was told to 20
ahead and build two of the best ones
he ever planned.
The result more than repaid the plan
ners. When the theaters were turned
over to the railroads they were fully
up to expectations. The entrances to
foyer Of the two was from the main
body of the Coliseum and the two wide
doorways were brilliantly lighted with
electric signs. The foyer ran the full
length Of the Coliseum Annex and was
wide. Under foot was a soft carpet,
and ON the walls were scenes OF farm
and home life in the west.
Thesters Are Resting Place.
The theaters themselves also were
reached by two broad doorways each.
Inside they were carpeted and fitted
with comfortable wide armed opera
chairs that furnished the grateful rest
ing place to the thousands that had
been looking around" In the big Coli
scum and standing about on the con-
crete floors until their feet ached. The
walls Of the theaters also were cov-
cred with paintings OF western scenes.
In addition to the farm scenes were
views Of several Of the immense irri-
cation projects, and a number OF the
scenic wonders OF the world
The ''cages" for the moving picture
operators were fireproof, so that In
case OF accident no fame could reach
out into the body Of the house. The
ceilings OF the two halls were beamed
and paneled and the interior decora-
tons were equal to those of any thea
ter In Chicago. In the front of each
room was the platform on which the
lecturers stood, and to the left OF this
was the screen on which the pictures
were thrown. This was one huge sheet
without seam to mark or mar it, and
the reflections cast were as clear as 1t
was possible to make them.

DAMAGE BY SAN JOSE SCALE

The pear IN common with other
fruits is subject 20 the depredations
OF insects. among the most important

The larva of the codling moth. which
affects the apple TO such an alarming
extent, entailing a loss of millions OF
dollars, is also more or less injurious
to the pear. though TO a much les ex

Probably no other insect, II uncon-

are more or less subject to It's attacks

the facts which brand forever as
false the charge which the
Democratic machine politicians
have been making against the
Republican party for forty years
to the effect that they were gull
ty of issuing the carpet-bag
bonds and footing the State
Mr.. Butler stated in his speech
that every copy of that Bragg
Fraud Commission Report had

which he had. He quotes the
facts to show that it was lead
ing Democrats and not Republi-
cans who were responsible for
what footing of the State was
done.
The speech not only sets his
