Washington, D. C. Sept. director
General McAdoo of the II. S. Railroad
Administration today ordered all rail-
road employees, officials and employees
alike to keep out Of politics, in the
coming state and federal elections as
we'll as the primary contests.
This order was issued so that there
might be no charge Of railroad in
fluence in the coming political con-
tests. Mr.. Mc4Adoo made it clear that
he considers it imperative that all
employees should conduct themselves
so serupuiously that there can be no
charge, direct or indirect of railroad
influence in the elections.
The director held that under pri-
vate management Of the railroads it
was a common report that the partici-
patton of employees and officials in poll
itics was widespread. He intimated
that such influence would no longer
he tolerated He declared that there
is no longer under government con-
troll any reason for participation in
political campaigns by railroad en-
pioyes. since they have only the in

buy at auction, and that she could buy
with discretion and judgment.
All the rest of the evening she was

The fire was discovered by the look
out at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, July
p. Within five minutes Patrolman
Charles Richardson at the Mountain
House, a government station six miles
below Merrimac, Plums county, on the
.luincy-O Oroville road, had been noti-

ter after the first alarm fifty seven
men wereengaged in throwing three

Just inside the fire trail back firing
was started, but despite this ection
the fire "side shot" the line in places
and started merrily across the coun-
Try, making it necessary to build new
fire trails. By o'clock the rext
morning the entire line, nearly five

Telephone calls brought food by au-

All of the old crews, with the ex-
ception of twelve men, were sent back
TO rest early July %. With 1ein-
forcements of ten new men patrols
were established and "snags," or dead
trees near the fire line were cut down
That night the patrol was cut to
seven men and thereafter three forest
officers kept watch until l O'Clock
July 25, when the fire was declared
