chie have a son Sam Lackland in
San Francisco. He has been there
several years and was in charge of
the largest restaurant In that city
his place of business bting located
at 906908 Market street. Since the '
receipt of the first news of the ter-
rible calamity which has befallen
San Francisco Mr. and Mrs. Lack-
land have naturally been very un-
easy about the safety of their son.
They sent telegrams of inquiry as to
his condition but no response came.
This morning however Mr. Lack-
land received the following message
from his son:
"Terrible earthquake here. Town
is on fire Ted and me all right.—
Sam."
The Ted referred to in the mes-
sage is the companion and room
mate of Mr. Lackland. His message
to his father was filed April 18
just after the earthquake occurred
but it did not reach here until this
morning.

ercised in the selection of the grains and the roasting
is a process that is known to these packers only. It
is done in a manner that does not destroy the aroma

Matthews' Clothes
NEVER DISAPPOINT
If they did it would not pay us to adver-
tise them as we do. We do not mean
that now and then a man may find after
he gets his suit home that another pattern
would have suited him better but that's a
mere matter of exchange which we are al-
ways glad to make. .
W hat we do assert is that the way this
clothing looks and fits and wears leaves
no ground for complaint. We guarantee
it and the manufacturers stand back of us.
We want you to see the new models at
$12.50 to $25.00

Knox Stiff Hats $3.00 and $5.00
