BOARD REGRETS LOSS
OF FOREMAN MALONE
CIVIL SERVICE RULES SENT HIM
DOWN LIST
Although City EmpIoye Demonstrated
His Ability as Organizer, Examina-
ton Placed Him Seventh Among
ElglbIes

AS medium for the securing of
competent workmen the civil service
method has failed to make it's predicted
hit with the board of public works.
The board is concerned over the loss
of George Malone, who was elected
foreman of garbage collection. AL
though his appointment was strictly an
emergency, he filled the position with
much credit. To him fell the labor OF
districting the city and organizing Il
system of collection.
When the civil service method of en-
ployment came up Mr. Malone was
obliged to take the examinations. He
was placed seventh ON the list of
eligibes. Through this he was obliged
TO give way to j. #. dollhouse.
When Malone took his examinations
he had just attended the funeral of his
son, and went directly from the services
to the Grant school, where he took the
examinations.
In view of the fact that Malone was
able to bear up In his sorrow and take
examinations with much credit to him
self, the board has looked upon him
as one of the most desirable men for
the position.
During Malones short service he
demonstrated, say the members OF the
board Of public works. that he was a
man with extraordinary powers for or
ganization. 1t is for this reason that
the board does not regard the civil
service as entirely necessary in the
securing Of competent workmen.

RECALLS THE
CHICAGO FIRE
OGDEN RESIDENCE SAVED BY
SHEER PLUCK
In Center of Fire Zone, the Old Frame
Dwelling Was Spared by the
Use of Wet Blankets
and Quilts

The recent earthquake and fire in
San Francisco are reminders of other
scenes enacted in different parts of
the country. The great Chicago fire
is brought vividly before the minds
of people, especially before those who
suffered from the con1agration that
laid low in ashes so much property
like that i'm San Francisco.
p. II. OConnor of 429 West Second
street witnessed the Chicago fire, and
in an interview spoke of the fire and
the remarkable instance of only one
residence having been saved in a
square where all others had been de-
stroyed.
MANY are convinced that the great
Chicago fire was caused by the kick
ing over of lamp by cow" said Mr..
O'Connor "Well, let the case be as
it may, L lived in the neighborhood
and was well acquainted with Mrs.
O'Leary, the owner of the cow that
has gone down in history as the kicker
that started the great confagration.
Mrs. o'Leary's Cow
con the night of the beginning of
the fire a party was held in a frame
house opposite Mrs. O'Leary's. Beer
in dancing and hilarity. When it came
time for the Irish cup O. tae,' between
IL and IL O'Clock, they had no milk.
And so two or three of the young men
went across the street, one of whom
had lamp i'm his hand, presumably to
light the way for one of the other men
to milk the COW unbeknown to Mrs
OLeary. The next thing that hap
pened was the fire from the lamp that
started the great confagration, and
the men disappeared quickly from the
scene.
1T is stated on good authority that
the holder of the lamp stumbled and
broke the lamp Surely the COW was
burned to death and has the credit
of doing the disastrous kicking act.
But to change the subject to the
raging fire. 1t comes wildly before
my mind. and the story has been told
time and again. But one of the re-
markable incidents of the fire was
the saving of the three-story wooden
building known as the Ogden resi-
dence on North Clark street. 1t was
centrally situated within the five miles
traversed by the fire. and the only
building left intact. 1t was surround
ed by the brick and marble-fronted
mansions of the wealthy merchants
which were laid low in ashes.
"The residence was saved by the in
domitable will and grit of the family
and servants of the Ogden household
by the use of the we'll of water for
tunately on the premises. They formed
a bucket brigade, saturating the
blankets and quilts and placing them
on the roof of the building.
"The building was removed several
years ago and the grounds are now
utilized as a park"

viii Be Greatly Increased II
Order ls Enforced

Nearly 1900 hotels and rooming houses
In Los Angeles are not paying licenses,
according to a letter from Mayor Nc
Aleer to City Tax and License Collector
~. 70. Johnson. In order to determine
how many hotels and lodging houses
In the city were not complying with the
rules covering this municipal require
ment, a thorough investigation has
been conducted by Mayor McAleer.
The patrolmen on the beats have as
sisted materially in this effort.
The object of gathering the above
data is to increase the clty's revenue.
Immediate action has been advised by
the mayor. AS the report has been ar
ranged systematically 1t is said that
the tax collectors inspectors will have
no trouble in checking up the delin-
duent hotels and lodging houses before
the beginning of the next quarter.
Mayor McAieer's letter follows:
Mr. E. IG. Johnson, City Tax and
License Collector:
Dear Sir-I find after thorough
personal investigation that prior to
July, 1905, there were 1872 hotels and
rooming houses paying license; in the
quarter following there was an increase
of $50, or a total Of 692.
II hand you herewith a list which
has been compiled after considerable
effort, showing the total number OF
hotels rooming houses, lodging houses,
apartment houses and houses for the
letting of furnished rooms and apart
ments as 2291, or 1899 not paying a
license tax. No doubt some changes
have taken place since the preparation
of this statement in the way of addl-
tional places and the dropping out of
others. AS the report is systematically
arranged, it will be an easy matter for
your inspectors to check these places
UP before the beginning of the next
quarter.
II feel that the revenue of this city
will be greatly increased by this one
item, and would ask that immediate
action be taken in connection there

THIEF USES GUISE OF
SAN FRANCISCO LAWYER
STEALS VALUABLE BOOKS FROM
LAW OFFICES
Two Attorneys BiIked by Stranger
With GcntIemanIy Demeanor-Car-
res With Him Suit Case in Which
He Places Pilfered Books

Using the guise of a San Francisco
lawyer. thief is pilfering law books
from local offices. Two reports of
thefts were received by the police yes
terday. 1t is thought some unscrupulous
attorney is taking this method of OBJ
tanning a library.
o. p. Widaman. who has an office i'll
the Wilcox building, said that a gentle
manly stranger entered his office and
asked to look up some legal points in
his library. Mr.. Widaman gave his
consent and thought nothing more
about it until after the departure of the
visitor. He found that the man car
ried away three volumes of Deerings
California digests 1t was noticed by
the attorney that his visitor carried Il
dress suit case with him and probably
brought it for the purpose of concealing
pilfered books.
Books Easily Traced
Later in the day Hugh j. Crawford
reported that someone stole several
books from his law office i'm the Byrne
building. Law books are easily traced,
for few secondhand stores will buy
them, and while the original price Is
high, they are considered difficult to
dispose of without detection
The police department sent out a
general warming to all Los Angeles at
torneys to watch any strangers who
ask for the privilege of consulting their
law libraries.

BOYS MAKE A FORTUNE.
Get $4,000 Each by Prospecting in
Cobalt Silver District.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, Feb. n
Worth $500 each as a result of per-
sfstent prospecting in the Cobalt silver
district, two boys. William and George
Darby of Massey Station, Ont, have
gone to Ottawa to spend a portion of
their newly acquired wealth in sight
seeing about the capital. The young
sters are not yet IS years of age.
That fortune smiles where least ex-
pected is exemplified in the case of
these boys, who left their comfortable
home near Massey last February and
defied the elements to drive them to
seek more habitable shelter than a
mere bough camp on the shores of
Bay lake, in the Cobalt country. With
the opening of spring they started
prospecting at Mud lake and the Mon
treal river, but with little success.
Farther to the westward of their win
ter camp. near Clear lake, they
struck small veins Of the priced metal,
but results were unsatisfactory and
stalking the ground as their claim
they moved on to Bay lake. Here
after persistent trenching they finally
made important discoveries of the
white metal. and recently they sold
out their interests to a syndicate of
Windsor mining capitalists for $780,
600. An equal division of the money
as shared between them, and refusing
an offer Of $4,000 for their Clear lake
claim they struck out for Ottawa and
good time. 1t is asserted that with
the opening of spring an influx of
10000 fortune hunters will invade the
!. Cobalt region. a.5 .,

Joseph Jefferson and the BOY.

(franc1S Wilson In Scribner's)
While we were talking there in the
box Office l saw little boy peeping in
at the door. called to him and
asked him to shake hands with Mr..
Jefferson. The boys mother followed,
and was elated to find her son chat
ting with RIP Van Wrinkle" She ex-
planned that the boys father had told
him all about Washington Irving's
RIP of the Catskills" and had given
him book on Christmas that he might
read it for himself.
Now" said the mother, pointing to
Mr.. Jefferson, this is Rip; he doesn't
look like man anybody would drive
out into the mountains, does he?"
And while the little fellow pondered
the matter Mr.. Jefferson's sons and /
begged RIP" to discard his ferOcious
aspect and assume guileless air IL he
had it MOTTO please to look like a
mountaineer whom no one would
dream of driving out into a fearful
storm. The most amiable of men, he
was never more amiable than that
day. He dubbed over with good hui

his great successful his attractive
personal characteristics he carried
over into his dramatic portrayals and
by his delicate and human delineation
OF the character of the sweet-disposi-
toned Dutchman, by the rare skill of
his acting, he had become a classic
along with the works Of Washington
Irving, Dickens, and Coleman, to
whose creatures of the brain Joseph
Jefferson has lent personality, reali-
cation never to be disassociated from
him or from them. =
Presently the mother returned in de-
spair to tell her boy she could not
procure a seat, and he was not to see
the play after all. The boys sobs at

The. Great Northern railway has de-
cided to make several improvements
on the Grand Rapids division OF the
road, work on which began yesterday.
The side track on the north side Of
the main track at Grand Rapids will
be heightened 1000 feet and the In
Sdhstrial track on the west side Of the
city will also be heightened. Just
west Of the section house a ..Y,' will
be putin. It is thought this improve
ment means that Grand Rapids will
hereafter be the stopping point Of To-
cal freight crews instead Of Swan

All side tracks between Cass Lake
and :Brookston will be heightened so
that long freights will be able to pass

Do you know Steve Whitney? II
you have paid fare on the Great

certainly do. He is one Of the con-
ductors on that train that never. was
known to be unhappy. He went rab-,
bit hunting with Lem Smith the other
day and never got shot. A farmer,
with q musket of the make of 81 had
bushel basket full of rabbits that
he, had killed the day before. This
farmers name was Lord. Steve went
to him and said: Lord; wilt thou
give me pair of rabbits! Faithfully
have I hunted but none have / killed"
It was the first prayer steye had ut
tered since he got away from tine slip
Per. but It was answered and he got
q pair Of rabbits. Whitney usually
spends a, week or two deer hunting

EIGHT GOOD REASONS.
W. J. Bryan on the Farmer Boy.
Proposition.

WAAAAoh JcuuluSS bryan clSQL Eea-
sons why boy should be farmer:
1. Farming is an independent way
of living, compared with work in the
city. The farmer can supply his table
with meat, vegetables, bread, milk,
butter and eggs, and he is less affect
ed than the residents of the city by
fluctuations in the price of these COM
modities. The clothing account, too,
Is less for those who live upon the
farm than for. those who live in town.
The farmer and his family avoid the
rivalry that leads to extravaganza.
2. 1t requires less capital to begin
work upon farm than to enter any
other sort of Independent business.
One can usually obtain farming land
on shares, whereas for any mercantile
pursuit 1t is necessary to pay rent,
often In advance. II one has not the
means to buy horses, and plows and
other agricultural implements, he can
usually find a small piece of ground
near a town or city where he can
raise vegetables, and thus make, a
start that will enable him to equip
himself for larger farming.
g. All the members of the family
can assist in farming, and that, too.
without hardship.
a. Life upon the farm il healthful
5. The habits of industry and appli-
cation required upon the farm are val
liable capital, no matter to what &C.
cupation or profession the mind is
turned.
6. Farm life cultivates hospitality
and generosity, and, without remov-
ing temptation, gives parental influ-
ence a chance to strengthen the child
before the seeds of disobedience are
implanted by evil associations.
In the city there is little manual Ia
Dor for the boy to do, and to keep
him from associating with the boys
who are by chance thrown in his way
requires constant exercise of parent
al authority. In the country, dark
ness shuts out the world and makes
the fireside welcome retreat for all.
The farm is conducive to good morals.
The farmer lives amid miracles and
feels each year his dependence upon
the unseen hand that directs the sea-
sons aud sends the refreshing show
ers. Reverence teaches responsible
ity, and a sense Of responsibility is a
wholesome restraint upon conduct.
z. The farmer learns early in life
the true basis of rewards. BY having
to give a dollars worth of labor for
a dollars worth of product, he is
taught the service, to be fair, must
be reciprocal. He never falls into the
demoralizing habit of expecting s6me-
thing for nothing. He teaches by ex-
ample that labor is honorable, and has
that sense of proprietorship in his
handiwork which only those have who
feel that they have honestly earned
all that they receive.
8. The husbahdman is the most re-
liable political factor in the nation.
He is the best informed and the most
independent of all who take part in
political life. While he is conserva-
tive and not subject to the frequent
change, while he has convictions and
is usually strong partisan, yet his
opinions are his own, and as a rule,
he can neither be bought nor driven
to cast his vote contrary to his 3udg-
ment.
