ONLY WOMAN ELEPHANT
TRAINER IN THE WORLD

The man who started out to exploit
a circus without the elephant would
be apt to discover that he had mis-
taken his vocation. Because. some
how or other, whenever we think of a
circus we think of these huge
pachyderms and it takes us back to
mysterious India, where princes of the
royal blood ride in solid silver how
dahs, studded with pearls and pigeons
blood rubies.
In the old days of the big tents, it
was reckoned sufficient to have two
or three elephants along, and their
size and pecularities alone satisfied the
multitudes. But nowadays. when the
big show comes to town. people stand
along the sidewalks and oun the
elephants. Then go Owe to the lot in
the afternoon and sit in Judgment
upon h performance given by these
nlonstrous but intelligent beasts. If
the latter is not up to the standard
they go away telling each other that
this particular circus doesn't amount
to much.
The Sells-Floto Circus, which ONE
here on August u has ALWAYS boast
ga of possessing the most m~arvelouslv
trained herd of elephants on the face
Of the globe. All showmen will tell
YOU hat they work faster than any
that have ever before been before the
| ublic. Heretofore, they have always
been introduced by a man trained. but
this year a woman was found who
could handle these beasts just as we'll
as Carl Hagenback or any of the fam
GUS animal educators who have made
history in the amusement world.
Her name is Lucia Fora, and when
it is stated that she possesses AL the
control OF the masters of this strange
and curious art, the assertion will be
backed up by the performance when
the circus arrives here.
Can O imagine yourself i'm "A forty
foot ring With half Il dozen of these
tire mendous animals c%urveting and
capering around you. executing what
are comparatively impossible stunts,
making each ono perform at his APP
propriate time. never allowing any
n of them to miss their cues, and at
the same time seeing to it thai you
escape personal danger? Because. if
you take any ShoWman's word for 1t,
who has had experience. he will tell
YOU that no animal of the menagerie
or hippodrome require moro careful
Watching than the elephants.
Nine. Fora will appear with the
Selis-Tloto herd of performing ele-
plants both matinee n evening. Her
advent into the circus world as a di-
recto: of elephant acts marks Il new
departure in amusements and avoca-
tic ms. and possibly opens up a novel
field for feminine endeavor.

WARNING BY
NORTHERN PACIFIC

On account of the exceptionally
large grain crop throughout the north
west this year n the naturally heavy
shipments of coal, lumber and other
commodities during the fall and early
winter. and in order that the railway
companies may promptly handle the
ran business, it is very important that
shippers of all classes of goods should
cooperate with the railway companies
in handling this traffic so as to avoid
delay. The railway companies are ar
ranging to provide all the equipment
necessary to handle shipments within
a reasonable period if the business is
not punched on them. The so-called
car shortage is seldom really an actual
shortage of cars. 1t is almost invari-
ably caused by concentrating, at one
time, shipments of products which can
easily be extended owe a wider period.
Delays In loading and unloading cars
and a shortage of storage facilities for
coal, lumber, grain. etc. at interior
towns also help to congest business
and prevent the prompt release of
loaded cars and their further and con-
tinued use.
II the people and the shippers of
the northwest will endeavor to place
their orders for coal and other COM
mercial products early in the season.
and arrange proper storage facilities
for coal. lumber. grain. etc, a great
deal of this delay, particularly during
the winter time, will be avoided. The
people of the northwest can facilitate
this by placing their orders. for ex-
ample. for coal and similar commodi-
ties. with the local dealers early in the
season and having same delivered to
them. In this way they will assist the
shippers and, necessarily. the trans
p%ortation companies. in so arranging
the movement of business that there
will be no congestion.
The efforts on the part of all to as
sist in this undertaking will result in
greatly improving the state of affairs.
and it is hoped that those who read
this statement will act according to
these suggestions.
