Duty and Heroism.

1t seems that it was the dyna-
mite squad from Mare island that
stopped the fire at San Francisco.
Three experts in explosives were
sent over from the naval station
by Admiral McCalla, with orders
to check the fire at any cost OF
life or property. They took with
them ton and half of gun cot
ton, destroyed million dollars
worth of property and made a
waste of ruin over which the Ere
could not jump, and the confa-
grafton was stayed. The names
of these three heroes are not
given, although what they did,
and the danger they braved, en-
title them to be SO designated.
The incident is a reminder of
the Spanish-American war when

Canvass for Funds.

The canvass for funds for the
college Y. Nj. c. A. building,
which was stopped temporarily
about two months ago on account
of the illness of the secretary,
Mr.. Shepard, has been resumed
under the direction of the build
ing committee and with the CO.
operation of the state Committee
of the Y. M. c. A. The base
ment and swimming pool have
already been put in on lot ad-
joing the campus. It is hoped to
erect the building this summer
so as to have it ready for use at
the opening of the fall term.
Of the $4,000 necessary for
the erection of the building $I2,-
700 has been subscribed, leaving
81, 600 yet to be secured. The
building committee does not
wish to resume building oper-
.ations until all the money is
pledged. It is expected to raise
$500 of the amount needed from
the citizens of Corvallis and Ben
ton county. $1,000 has already
been subscribed by Corvallis
people, but a large number have
not vet been seen. The recent
San Francisco disaster has made
it difficult to secure subscriptions
from Por land and other places in
the state outside of Corvallis
though Portland people have
contributed nearly $1,000
The erection of the building
will mean much to tae moral
and social life of the student
body. 1t has already widely ad-
vertised the institution and the
people of the state are expecting
to see it erected. This will be
the sec ond building of this char
acter on the Pacific coast, the
other being at the University
OF California at Berkeley.
The college Y. M. c. A. has
been most efficient organization,
but has been greatly handicapped
Oh account of lack of adequate
quarters. The new building will
aid very materially in carrying
on an enlarged and more ag-
gressive work.

a gushing young creature asked a
wounded soldier if he was one of
the heroes of Santiago, and he
replied d::-"rm no hero; Pm a
regular. = It was his business to
obey orders and in doing SO he
took what came to him as his
duty. So it was witt, the three
dynamiters. They had orders 10
stop the destruction b. fre, and
they did it, and having performed
the duty demanded of them, they.
returned to Mare Island, made
their report and went to their
quarters as if nothing had hap
pened.
From our point of view they
saved a large part of the doomed
city; from their standpoint they
had simply performed their duty,
and whatever of credit there is in
the transaction goes to Admiral
McCalla. It is ever thus in war.
The private soldier, carrying out
the orders of his superior, accom-
plishes wonders, wins victories,
and we erect monuments to the
Generals. The man with the
gun does not care. He does his
duty, and if promotion reaches
him, all right. II not, he falls
back on the phrase quoted:-
Pm no hero; I'm regular. -

14.75 per cent of the commercial crop Of
the United States as compared with 20.05
per cent the year before. Speaking Of
