that 1101 American soldiers in France
will each be cheered by the gift of a
big packet containing cigarettes and
Bmoklng tobacco.
Every quarter added to the fund will
tnake one more soldier happy. If you
Want to do your part toward making
life more comfortable for those who
are fighting that you may be free, don't
delay in sending your contribution to
the fund.
Every 25-cent piece contributed will
provide a big packet containing cigar
ettes and tobacco that would cost 45
cents at retail. And each packet will
contain, also, a stamped postcard with
your name and address, so the soldier
recipient can mail it back to you with
a. few words of thanks.
The largest contribution received
yesterday was from Donald Mackay, of
723 Park avenue. Mr. Mackay gave
$25 to the fund. That $25 will provide
100 packets of cigarettes and tobacco
to cheer 100 American soldiers at the
front.
Men In Wilds Sympathetic.
And here is the letter that accom
panied a contribution of $1.75 sent in
to the fund by seven men in Johnston's
Government cruiser camp, who are
cruising and classifying the Oregon &
California Railroad grant lands:
"Inclosed please find $1.75 for cigar
ettes for soldiers. We are in the wilds
of Oregon most of the time, classifying
land on the O. & C. Railroad grant
lands. We manage to get your paper
once in a while, also to get out ot
tobacco once in a while, and know what
It means.
"We think your smokes for soldiers
campaign is a bear, and hope you will
pusn it to the limit. Here's hoping
there's never even a cigarette lost on
the way over. We wish you all the
success in the world in your smoke
campaign."
The letter is signed by Archie John
ston, Harold Crane, Dudley F. Collins,
Lester Lutjens, Myron Clark, Otto
Mueller and Carl Rodolf. Their pres
ent postoffice address is Alpha, Or.
Club Idea Approved.
Florence D. Ayer, of 332 East Fifty
seventh street South, who already had
contributed to the fund, wrote yester
day to say she would like to join the
$2.50 a month club suggested by Mc
Kinley Mitchell.
"I have contributed a small amount
to the tobacco fund for soldiers," she
said, "and this morning I noticed the
suggestion by a gentleman to form a
club In which each member pledges
himself to give $2.50 per month.
"I think this is the proper way, and
that will give a steady Income for this
purpose. The boys are there to stay a
while, and I know would appreciate
this from the ones at home. I for one
wish to Join the club if it Is formed,
and please do not forget to notify me
of such action."
Who's next to join the $2.50 a month
club? Or to send In a quarter right
now for the fund?

follow exactly the most accurate
historical pictures and accounts of con
ditions which actually existed. From
the middle of 1848 to the end of 1849
the city grew from a. population of
about 800 to more than 25,000, and in
the hurly-burly of "getting rich quick"
no attempt was made to establish the
town upon orderly and permanent
lines.
These 25,000 lived principally i"
tents or the rudest of board shanties,
pitched in the sand and mud without
system or order, amid rubbish and
filth and fleas. They slept on cots oi
"soft" planks, under horse blankets,
on tables and bars and counters or in
the open air. with such covering as
could be improvised. Forty or 60 men
frequently slept in one small loft,
where they tossed and swore and
scratched and sang or told stories
those who were not tired enough or
drunk enough to sleep. And in the
working hours they hustled and tugged
and jostled and sweated and fought to
make money always they made money.
They drove trucks, "skinned" mules.
struggled under' heavy loads on tne

Walsh in "Birth of a Nation."
Dpsnite the strong plot set forth In
the scenario of "The Honor System"
the production of this Play has been
greatly enhanced Dy tne remaniDw
directing of R. A. Walsh of the Fox
Film Corporation. Under Mr. Walsh's
skillful guidance the cast of "The
Honor System" has had every oppor
tunity of displaying their versatility.
The greatest care was exercised in
selecting this cast, and the whole play
is an artistic performance of the high
est order. The personalities through
out are true to type in every particu
lar. R. A. Walsh in producing "The
Honor System" has taken a place in
the front ranks of director-geniuses.
His rise has been rapid. His work has
a certain verve and a clear, artistic
quality that makes it stand out. His
first picture for William Fox was "Re
generation." It was a tremendous suc
cess and is still running.
As an actor R. A. Walsh Is pictur
esque and vivid. He will be remem
bered by everyone for his wonderful
acting as Wilkes Booth in the "Birth
of a Nation."
Huge Sum for Wreck Scene.
When the big train wreck which
forms one of the scenes in "The Whip,"
the spectacular motion picture, was
staged in Maryland for this film
drama, a veritable sensation was
caused. All the countryfolk In the im
mediate vicinity of the wreck, who had
no Idea that the catastrophe was staged
just for the movies, came running to
the scene. Doctors were called, a hos
pital in a nearby city was notified and
altogether a nuge amount or commo
tion resulted.
The train wreck in "The Whip," by
the way, is one of the most realistic
ever staged for the movies and. is said
to be the most costly single scene ever
staged for a screen production. The
cost was over $25,000.
"Doug" Uses Youngsters. '
In addition to its other qualities un
usual night photography Is one of the
features offered in the Douglas Fair-bankB-Artcraft
picture, "Down to
Earth," at the Peoples Theater. With
the aid of flare lights and a special
photographic device. Cameraman Victor
Fleming filmed a scene of the popular
actor relaxing on the ground looking
up at the stars one evening, which ef
fect has caused considerable comment
around film-producing centers.
The Fairbanks photographer is hard
ly more than a boy and his exceptional
work has often caused wide comment.
Youth is quite characteristic of the

his staff, including Harvey Thorpe.

Screen Gossip. .
Five years ago the press agent had
not come into being as far aB motion
pictures were concerned. Just think
of the material the boys could have
written from such incidents as the fol
lowing, which happened about that
time:
Charles Clary rescued two members of his
company from a Burning building; Anna
Nilsson was operated upon for appendicitis;
William Duncan, doing- prison stuff .at the
Colorado State Penitentiary, was mistaken
for an escaping convict by the guard and
shot at; Ruth Stonehouse. Helen Dunbar.
Francis Bushman. Bryant Washburn and the
rest of their company were marooned on
Devil's Island, In Wisconsin. I na terrific
storm, and Evebelle Prout narrowly escaped
drowning.

"The Man From Fainted Post," a
story dealing with the cattle rustling
days of the West, is "Doug" Fairbanks'
latest offering. It has just been com
pleted in Wyoming, with a cast Includ
ing Frank Campeau, the famous Tram-
apas of "The Virginian."

picture concern, receiving $5000 a
month for his services.

Five years ago "The Coming of
Columbus," a. three-reeler, was not a
commercial success. Two reels for a
nickel was the rule in those days, so
what could an exhibitor do with three
reels? Three hundred people were in
the cast, among them being Kathlyn
Williams, Charles Clary and Marshall
Stedman (Myrtle's husband).
It is said, on very good authority,
that Margarita Fischer will do her
work In future at the American Stu
dios at Santa Barbara, CaL It is some
time since she acted there, but all her
recent photoplays have been made for
the American Company and the terms
of a new long contract demand her
acting at Santa Barbara in order to
take advantage of the organization. It
was there she came so prominently to
the front in the still remembered
"Beauty" features.

Every Housewife Urged to Bay Big
Fish and Can It for Winter Use.
Price Lower Today.
Every housewife in Portland Is
urged, as an economic and a patriotic
duty, to buy a fresh salmon today and
can it for future use.
A tremendous and unprecedented run
of the famous Royal Chinook salmon
Is coming up the Columbia River and
fishermen off Astoria are catching
them by the ton and the scores of tons.
They are coming to Portland by the
refrigerator carload and will be on
sale at all the markets today at 15
cents per pound, if bought by the
single pound. But if a person buys a
whole fish the cost will be measurably
lower.
W. B. Ayer, Federal food administra
tor for Oregon, gives these directions
for canning salmon:
"Take out the backbone, cut a piece
of fish to fit In the Jar, salt lightly,
and fill Jar with cold water. Put rub
bers and caps of Jars in position
lightly. Place Jars In boiler upon
wooden rack in cold water, submerg
ing same up to caps, and boil for three

TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 10. (Special.)
A wanderer who answers the descrip

neer sought for the brutal attack on
10-year-old Mamie Torkko, was seen
by settlers living in the hills below
Sunset Mountain yesterday. Sheriff
Longmire, who is directing the search,
at once dispatched a mounted posse up
on the mountains and the hills around
it were being combed today.
This is the first clue to Stoddart's
whereabouts since his disappearance
Friday morning, before he was posi
tively accused of the crime. Accord
ing to the persons who saw him he
was in a wearied, fagged condition and
had evidently been out for some time.
He was said to be soaking wet and
headed toward Sunset Mountain. This
is about 30 miles from Carbonado, up
In the Cumberland country.
The child's condition is slightly im
proved.
Description circulars naming Stod

murder of Mamie Torkko, are being
sent throughout the Northwest by the
Sheriff's office. He weighs 165 pounds.

either off or deformed at first Join

torney says no warrant is necessary
when a felony has been committed and
the reason a warrant was not Issued
Is because if the child died the charge
would be murder, if she lives the
charge would be assault.
