ENCOUNTER WITH A RAM.
But For Timely Help, a Child Would
 Likely Have Been Killed.

On Friday evening when the little son of Mrs. John Moore was returning home from school he had a narrow escape in an encounter with a fierce ram in A. A. Woods farm The child was crossing the field to make a shorter route home when the animal knocked him down and repeated this each time the boy rose to his feet. T. A. Knox happened to be passing at this time and went to the boys rescue. Had it not been for MT. Knox's timely arrival the child would without doubt have been killed. As it was he suffer- ed only from a badly bruised face.

the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. It is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are a very soeiable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that 1t is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of hand wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.

reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautifuf
panorama of mountain and sea.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of its different dining places,

ladies and gentlemen. Further on is

absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel
life pleasant, it is without peer. The
Fairmont Hotel today has capacity for
taking care of one thousand guests
Its entertainment features are so nu-
merous and so varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globetrotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From it's windows flor

mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side Of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline In the Immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
new and better way, is but few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street

for the entertainment of its guests
Because of these. it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. just as the old Palace

Two years ago, when the fire was rag

outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou.
sands. When the flames swirled fercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in

structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial Of both

single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfiammahle
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reconstruc-
ton went on. Over million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings and fur
niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with SPLEEN
did reception, to which nearly all San
Francisco came.
The hotel was not fully complete at
( that time. Some of the rooms on the
upper floors were not ready, but when
the Palace Hotel Company, which for
merly operated the old Palace Hotel on
Market street, took hold, determined to
push things through, the work went on
with amazing rapidity. Today, more
than. any other building in San Fran
cisco, the Fairmont stands a monument
to the energy and determination of her
citizens.

The Fairmont, as it stands today, is
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John G. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instilling into

well he has succeeded in doing this 10

B. f. PORTER STILL
 4 GOOD ARR0N|AN
But He Likes Northern California and
 is Helping to Develop 1t.

B. F. Porter who is visiting Phoenix for the first time since he left here seven wears ago for Eureka, looks as natural on the city streets as though he had never been away and it is only regretted that he leaves again so soon as he expects to go tomorrow. The only unnatural thing is that he now moves around only with cane. due to a permanent injury to his left leg through a fall from an electric car. He says the most embarrassing feature of it is that after railroading for fifty years without serious injury he should finally be humiliated by failing a vic tim to pesky little street car
 Mr Porter finds many new faces and many new buildings in Phoenix but his eye also greets most of the old faces and the old buildings and he seems very much at home He has never forgotten Phoenix pr his Phoenix friends though he is loyal to his new home in north land and says it is one of the mosI wonderful sections in the world both for natural beauty and in dustrial resources.
 When he left Phoenix he was made vice president and general manager of the railroad running out of Eureka Later when that property and another running north toward Eureka were consolidated under the name of the Northwest. Pacific railroad he was made assistant and general manager though his duties are much the same as he operates the northern properties t.hf lao der the direct charge of the general manager in San Francisco.
 Ever since the consolidation the pur- pose has been tO extend the two lines to a connection. over the hundred mile hiatus between their present terminals placing Eureka and Humboldt bay in direct communication by rail with the coast metropolis. While he was in San Francisco only a few days ago bids were being opened for further construction work tO that end. and of the result he has not yet been advised. However he knows that the work is to be done as quickly as possible and says that it will take about three years 10 complete it. The country is very mountainous and railroad building will be SLOW ana expensive but when the road is finished it will be a scenic route that will vie with any line in the country.
 At present the connection between Eureka and San Francisco is chiefly by water though a good automobile line runs in the summer time while in the winter there is stage line that runs when it can and the mail is car Tied on horseback the rest of the time. As the road is precipitious and the
 ainfall is heavy in the winter time it 4 almost impossible to keep the stage going on account of the wash from the hillsides. The country however in his opinion is more beautiful than the drive through the red woods or even the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
