The people are thoroughly awake to
the necessity of having pleasure wharf

town for funds to insure the success OF
the project. In less than two hours
$4,000 had been promised, and there is
little doubt of its ultimate success. A
mass meeting OF the citizens will be held
Monday evening the 2lst inst, with the
object of forming a joint stock associa-
ton for its fulfllment.
The Terminal officials have made ap-

The Board of Supervisors Will Give
Ample Quarters for Its Collections.
The Historical Society of Southern
California at last has home. Through
the courtesy of the board of supervisors
it has been allowed large room in the
new court house. The room is on the
fourth floor, in the northeast corner of
the building, and is 50x50 feet square.
The large fre-proof safe, which the So
ciety purchased last spring, will be
moved into this room. The apartment
will be furnished with shelving and
cases for its library and museum. A
great many people who have been hold
ing back valuable contributions for lack
OF safe Keeping, now have opportunity
to make good their promises. 1t is ex-
pected that the room will be ready for
occupancy early in January. As soon
as the collection is properly arranged
and catalogued, the room will be open
daily at regular hours for the admission
OF visitors. The benefit to be derived
by students of California history will be
incalcuable. The archives will also be
readily accessible TO the legal fraternity,
who will find them valuable in settling
estates and obtaining important inior-
nation.
The society was organized eight years
ago. During all this time the members
have industriously collected all his
torical matter possible. The collection
includes several thousand books, pam
phlets, manuscripts, newspapers, maps,
photographs, relics and curio5ities per-
tanning to the entire Pacific coast.
An especial effort has been made to
keep on file all the newspapers pub
lished in Southern California. To this
appeal majority OF the editors have
made a generous response. In no better
way, it was deemed, could the correct
history of this section be preserved.
Files of newspapers lave been OBJ
tanned covering the entire history Of
Southern California since American
occupation.
Many valuable contributions have
been secured from pioneers, in which
their "reminiscences are given in manu-

visiting the principal medical centers, to bring
home all the new discoveries, machines,

There Is hardly case of sickness or

DR.. I. Z. Thiele is prepared to cure the most
intractable diseases, such as have resisted all
remedies heretofore, and therefore invites all
those who suffer from any ailment whatso-
ever, man, woman or child, who have sought
relief in vain elsewhere, or have been given up
as sincurable by their former medical sdvisers,
to give him Call and consult him. There is
certainly hope yet. Don't despair.

AT an open-air me ting in London the
follow ng incident took place: A street
preacher was holding forth in the East
End when drunken soldier came up
and loudly ridiculed the whole service.
Finding that it was USELESS to ignore
the man the preached quickly decided
on his course of action. "Ah, my friend,
you're no soldier; you've only borrowed
those gay red clothes. No servant of
the queen would get drunk and inter-
rupt peaceful service" OF course the
man warmly protested that he was a
soldier, and invited the preacher to test
him. Very well" was the reply. Il
will. Now, then, stand at ease" This
the soldier did as well as his drunken
condition allowed. Right about face
This also was accomplished with some
trouble. Now, quick march, And
off he went, marching down the Mile
End road at desperate speed, unable,
apparently, to see through the open-air
preachers successful maneuver. - Chi

hot as blast from en- oven. Numbers
of jack rabbits, driven from their "a,
customed haunts, came leaping across
the prairie; bevies of prairie chickens
few whirring by; several huge rattle
snakes and 'blue racers" dartcd
through the flames and sought refuge
under the school-house; and across the
slough two coyotes were seen ''goin'
like streak of ligh&nin'," Aleck said.
Suddenly the backtire sent up leap
ing tongues of flame, and began to fly
forward to meet its huge adversary,
much as bits of steel are drawn to a
magnet. Now the children's work was
done. They coul only stand back and
wait. The interior OF the school house
was filed with a dense cloud of smoke
that coull not be endured, so Nell sent
them to the eastern side of the house
where they had it as shield from the
fearful heat.
On came the fire, roaring, surging,
saething billow of flame that broke
over the little blaclsened beach of burnt
prairie and reached almost to the door
of the school-house. For moment the
air about them was full of fire, and the
children fell on their faces with screams
of terror. 1t was a moment never to
be forgotten-a moment face to face
! with death. Then the baffled fire drew
back, swept around and on, and they
knew that they were safe.
Nell had stood her ground on the
western side of the house, beating back
the burning tumbleweeds and husks
that came flying across the burnt space,
and AleclS and Jimmie had bravely
stayed with her. Every spark that
few across the barrier was promptly
extinguished, but it set fire to the trash
under the house: and not until the fire
had passed well beyond them did they
abate their efforts. Then they dropped

SIBERiAL SOIL.

In Some Places 1t is Frozen Six Hundred
Feet Deep.
For many years scientists have been
perpleXed over the phenomenon of a
certain well at Yakutsk. Siberia. AS
long ago as 1923 Russian merchant
began to sink this noted well, and, after
working on it for three years, gave 1t up
rs bad job, having at that time sank
It to depth of thirty feet without
getting through the frozen ground. He
communicated these facts to the Rus
sian Academy of Science, who sent men
to take charge of the digging operations
Mt the wonderful well. These scientific
gentlemen toiled away at their work for
several wears. but at last abandoned it
when depth of $50 feet had been
reached. with the earth still frozen as
hard as rock. In 1914 the academy
had the temperature of the soil at the
sides of the well taken at various depths.
From the data thus obtained they came
to the startling conclusion that the
ground was frozen to Il depth exceeding
600 feet.
Although it is known to meterologists
that the pole of the lowest known tenn
peraturc is in that region of Siberia, it
is conceded that not even that rigorous
climate could force frost to such great
depth below the surface. After figur-
ing on the subject for over quarter of
n century, biologists have at last come
to the conclusion that the great frozen
valley of the Lena river was deposited,

Foreign Clubs in America.

Clubs composed of foreigners exist in
all the big cities of the world. They
are nearly all prosperous, except in the
City of New York. English clubs
which have been founded there from
time to time have failed, and the Cana
dian Club found it necessary to throw
off it's restrictions on membership and
admit other persons than Canadians be-
fore it became successful. The French
societies in New York have very lib

and the German clubs are all rapidly

exclusively American in membership

A great many young men fail to win
the wives they covet because they con-
duct their courtship in the wrong way.
The only plan they know of to express
their affection and matrimonial inten-
tons is to bounce at the object of their
affection and kiss or try to kiss her,
squeeze her hand, or steal an arm about
her waist. Now, girls who are bright
know very well that imprudence eX-
presses itself in the same way. A girl
with any selfesteem can not be willing
that any man should thus establish
right to her lips or her fingers, and it
will be such pleasure to put down"
what she must feel to be presumption of
her favor. without warrant from her
self, that she will think of nothing else.
Compliments and admiring glanccs, all
sorts of delicate attentions have great
power to win woman's heart; but if
she is worth having premature attempts
at caresses will not only offend her. but
will actually inspire her with dislike
for a man she might have loved dearly
if he had not at once presumed too much
and caused her to doubt his respect be-
fore she had the slightest assurance of
his affection.-Old HomaStea d.
