already undertaken the work, in be-
half OF the entire Paclnc Coast, OF
dispelling erroneous and damaging
impressions, that effect the entire
Pacific Coast, growing out OF the re-
cent disaster at San Francisco. An
nouncement is made that in this pub
lie service The cooperation OF public
men and Of The press is assured.
While San Francisco was burning,
when it was impossible to verify ru
mors or to substantlate facts, stories
were circulated that found their way
into print that, If uncontradicted, will
injure not only California, but also
the other States of the Pacific Coast.
Nothing but the truth is necessary
to point out that no material indus
try-agriculture, horticulture, viticul-
ture, mining, manufacturing, COM
| merce-has suffered interruption or
permanent injury. A series of ara
cles prepared by men whose reputa-
| tons command respect and inspire
confidence, is required at this time.
Such will be arranged for and will
Se circulated all over the world by
the Southern Pacific Company. The
Appeal will, in sympathy ana in jus
tice to the stricken State of Califor
mia, give them all possible publicity

AS far as the eye could see the prairie
stretched as smooth rs a floor. Rhoda
and little Dinny stsolIed on and on till
the home paddock was only y dot
against the blue sky line, Little Dinny
darted from one buttercup patch to
another, with wild shrieks Of delight In
their yellow glory. He pulled up great
handfuls Of them, rolled over and over
In their beds of gold and covered his
mother with showers OF their petals,
Rhoda paid little heed to Dinny's
Joy. The blue delight of the June skies
might as well have been November
cleaning for all the pleasure reflected
In her brown eyes. The ranch walls
seemed TO stifle her lately, She had
planned all night TO take the boy and
spend the lonely waking hours In the
open. But now, with all the wide space
Of sky and prairie about her, her sense
of desolation and disappointment seem
ed accentuated instead of lessened.
She was tired Of thinking. utterly
