earthquake and fire in San Francisco
and other California cities. Steps
were taken which will result in a SUBJ
stantial relief fund to be forwarded
Immediately. It is needless to say
that everybody was willing and anx-
ious to do what they can to assist the
sufferers in the earthquake district,
and it is certain that the state will be
ready to forward money or provisions,
according to the needs of the stricken
district.
While the relief work will be con-
Quoted along systematic lines, there
will be no red tape about it. The
main point will be to get succor to the
unfortunate people as soon as possible
and in the manner to their best adj
vantage. With this in view, every
body who is able is asked to step to
the front with a contribution. The
money will be used where it is most
needed, and money for the bare neces-
sites of life is needed as it was never
needed before.
