UTEfMRY
BUREAU
IS CLOSED
Finis," the epitaph of the Michae
ls ana fjiis worth railroad publicity
uureau or Chicago, ha been written.
The edict ha gone forth that the
main office In Chicago, and all of the
branch office throughout the middle
weet ahall be closed. The hundred

traveling Industriously over the

newepaper and trying by one mean
or another uiually the other to
spread the propnganda against Presi
dent Roosevelt's rnle regulation pro-

have their elastic expense accounts
cnecuea up.
ine railroad men are a silent
about thl closing order us they have
oeen about their Interest In the bu
reau aunng It existence. At the of.
lice of the bureau Itself the subassls
tant manager, who was the only per
on In charge, declared that he had
not bm-ti told yet to dose the office.
Nevertheless the fact remains that the
bureau Is to close.
Why Hurenu tiimiil.
There are soveral rumors as to why
the bureau will close, both of which
have their adherents. On the one
hand It Is suld that Samuel Hponcer,
and the railroad presidents who orig
inated the Idea of having a publicity
bureau to weun the people of the
United States from President Itoosc
velf I ilea on rate regulation, have
uome to believe that their object Man
been accomplished.
ha been extremely expensive, the dlf
icreni roads naving been assessed
nearly 12.000,000 pro rata, to pay Its
expenses. It Is said that the officials
and directors will not be sorry to have
this drain on their resource cease,
especially as there will be new ex
penses to be Incurred In connection
with their lobby at Washington
Another reason which is given for
the closing of the bureau Is that
flenrge V. 8. Mlchaelis. who is said to
be Iho head and bruins of the bureau
Is lying at death' door In a hospital
in now York.' In this connection It
is said that the railroad presidents
feel that without Mr. Mlchaelis the
bureau will not be able to continue
the work a outlined, and that has
helped them to come to the present
decision to close the bureau.
The other rumor concerning the
closing of the bureau, and this has
even more adherents than the first
rumor, Is that the bureau has uroven
11 failure, and an expensive luxury,
biiii ii nas uone. mo railroad cause
incalculable harm, and scarcely any
good. It is pointed out by those who
believe In this theory, that the latest
fiasco of the bureau was the rump
convention in Chicago, which it or
ganized to nullify as much as possible
the law convention. Instead of help
lug matters. It only brought Into more
prominence the underhanded methods
which the railroads have been using

Perhaps the Increased use of coal
as fuel In this city and other wood
consuming cities of the Inland empire
is responsible for the plentiful supply
of wood at the Blue. Mountain stations
this fall, as the amount cut last sum
mer was not as great as former years
by many hundreds of cords, and yet
the supply Is greater than for several
years It seems.
It is estimated that on thc blue

Cars are plentiful for all present needs
and the wood Is loaded out of the

"Jolly American Trump."
The happy-go-lucky "Weary Wil
lie," will be u new exponent on the
stuge when Manager U. V. Newell
presents E. E. Kidder's strikingly
original comedy drama, "A Jolly
American Tramp," at the Frazer on
December 2. This piece Is said to be
more strikingly Intense than the same
author's other plays, "Peaceful Val
ley" and "A Poor Relation," that he
wrote for Sol Smith Russell.
In '.'A Jolly American Tramp" he
holds the attention of his audience by
the quality of his wit, the deep
touches of pathos that he has Inter
woven In Its interesting plot, and the
convincing comedy with which It Is
Interspersed. Of course, the despised
tramp turns out to be a hero In rags,
and the supposed millionaire whose
greed for gold leads him to commit
felony, simply does what all his Ilk In
the big trusts are doing every day.
There are many scenes and Incidents
portrayed that will be worth witness
ing In that it shows how the rights of
the many are ruthlessly brushed aside
by the few, but In the end the
wronged triumph, and justice gets Its
reward.
The cast that is to unfold this In
teresting story contains tho names of
many of this country's best players,
among them being Clark Ross, Ber
line Farnsworth, ' Cora Lee Jefferson,
Virginia Melville. Vera Wilson, W. S.
Ely and others. ' Much attention has
been paid, too, to the costuming,
each character presenting the exact
prototype of the original from which
the talented author took his conception.
