be an unexpected development of ra-

he will recommend at the September

that the quarantine be raised on dogs

Humboldt and Elko counties are
clean of rabies and the quarantine
against dogs has been raised in the

The rabies has worked south to

CANDIDATE FOR SENATE

The California primary election VIII
be held on Tuesday, August 29. The
principal contest to be decided by the
voters will be between Willis II.
Booth and Governor Hiram Johnson
for United States Senator Present in
dications are that the former will win
the nomination.
Willis H. Booth was born in Winnie
mucca, Nevada, in 1874, the son of
poor people.
When he was five years old the fam
lily moved to San Francisco, and
Booth was raised on Shotwell street,
going to school in the Mission. Later
the Booths moved to Berkeley where
Willis worked his way through high
-ehool and the University of Califor-
Ma. He left the university in 1895
without graduating, because his fam
ily needed his help.
He learned his fathers trade of ma
chinist and founded the Western
Laundry Machinery Co. and the
American Woodworking Machine Co.,
both going concerns today. As a
veungster Booth had lived a short
time in Los Angeles, where he sold
newspapers on the street. Business
possibilities in Los Angeles had inn
pressed him, so he moved there.
With difficulty he borrowed five
hundred dollars from a Los Angeles
bank, and started the business which
is today the Smith Booth Usher Co..
the largest machinery business on the
Pacific coast.
HIS difficulty in borrowing money
gave him the idea ef hank for SMALL
depositors and small horrower.a frl.a
r@enlt is the Security Trust and Saw
ings Bank of Los Angeles, of which
be IS vice-president
The average account is under $500,
but there are $4,000 depositors, more
than in any other bank west of Chi
cago.
In 1907 he started the Hotpoint

The unctuous Chairman Mccormick
announces with varying emphasis but
with unvarying frequency that the
President will not play politics while
Congress is in session. SynchrOnous-
ly, the President proceeds to make
violent demonstration to procure the
passage of the child labor law, to
which his party in the South is des-
perately opposed. The South must
vote for him anyway, the President
reasons, while maybe there is support
to be gained in the North by favoring
this bill. AT the same time, the immi-
grafton bill, which Congress is ready
to pass over veto if necessary but
to which the President is opposed, is
to be shelved if the non-political Pres
ident has his way. But he is most un-
likely to have his way-for Senator
Borah has offered the immigration
bill as an amendment to the child
labor law, and if one passes the other
will have to. When the child labor
law, thus amended comes to the Pres
ident for approval, we shall see how
little he is thinking of politics. !

"THE PRICE OF POWER" AT
NIXON TOMORROW NIGHT

A remarkable play is "The Price of
Power" the Fine Arts-Triangle pro-
duction. tomorrow nights feature film
at the Nixon opera house. 1t is full of
realism in showing a modern cotton
mill in full operation, strike in
which brickbats and clubs figure, and
a thrilling struggle between worth
less scion of an idle rich woman and
a beautiful factory girl. There is such
swift action in the play and it is so
lightened with touches of humor that
any too intensely tragic feature is
made endurable and the whole effect
is appealing and worth while Orrfn
Johnson plays with versatility three
different roles, representing the same
man under different circumstances
and at different times in his career.

FIRE SEA-
SON AT It's HEIGHT

The Forest Service organization is
now facing the most dangerous thirty
day period of the year from the stard-
point of fire hazard in the forests.
The timberlands of the Intermountain
region are now in an extremely dry
and infiammable condition, and with
the prospect of a stretch of dry, set
tied weather ahead, the field force of
the service is straining every resource
to keep down the seasons fire losses.
In this effort the cooperation % the
thousands of visitors to the forests Is
urgently requested.
Up to and including August 10.
there have been reported to the Ogden
headquarters this season a total of
102 fires, occurring in the forests of
Utah, Nevada, Southern Idaho snd
Southwestern Wyoming. OF these fires
45 have been confined to areas of less
that one-fourth of an acre, "a to less
than ten acres, and only 18 hav, OK
ceeded this acreage or caused damage
in excess of 800 The total damages
for the season to date amount to ap-
proximately $1,000. and the total cost
of actual fire suppression to $1,000.
Last year for the same period Sc
fires were reported. the height of the
season being reached between august
IA and %. and in 1914. up to August
10, total of 134 fires occurred. So far
this season the Boise forest leads in
number of fires, having reported to-
tai of Is, only two of which, however.
burned over areas in excess of 10
acres.
Tt is only necessary to mention the
recent Ontario fire which toox 1 tell
of nearly 200 lives and caused enor-
nous property losses. to show the ex
treme need for care with fire. on the
