A. 0. U. v. WILL
ERECT BUILDING
SITE JUST NORTH OF THE POST
OFFICE WAS PURCHASED YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON AND A
BUILDING WILL PROBABLY BE
ERECTED IMMEDIATELY.

At a meeting of the state advisory
board of the Ancient Order of United
Workmen held late yesterday after
noon, a deal was consumated whereby
that organization becomes the owners
of the fine building cite just north of
the postoffice. 1t is the plan to erect
at once a fine state home for the A.
o. u. w. on this site.
1t is proposed to build a two-story
brick and stone structure with fine
pressed brick and ornamental trim
mings. The lower floor to contain tho
offices of the A. o. u. w. and rooms for
commercial purposes and the upper
floor to be used for offices.
This is one of the most valuable
sites in the city. The operahouse, the
Gardner hotel, the Y. M. C. A. and the
city library are clustered in this
neighborh0od, all less than block
from the new site and the A. o. U. w
is to be congratulated on making such
wise purchase.

Laws Affecting
Children
We Need More of Them
In This Country

g INCE women are interested in leg
islattng and want to have a hand
in the making of laws they would do
well to start movement in favor of
new laws for the protection of chill
dren.
The English have advanced further
along these lines than we have. A
new law which is officially described
as the children's act went into opera
tion at the beginning of April 1t con-
tains no fewer than 134 sections and
makes many new and remarkable ex-
tensions of the law in the interest OF
children and young persons. Eleven
of the sections are for the protection
of the lives of infants, chiefly for the
protection Of those unWanted little ones
intrusted to the care of baby farmers.
Regular inspection by municipal
officers is made obligatory in such
houses where children are received.
Another section makes 1t an offense
to give Intoxicating liquors to children
under five years of age and excludes
all children under fourteen from Ii
censed promises.
Six OF the sections concern Juvenile
smoking and impose penalties up to
E10 on persons who sell to boys APP
parently under sixteen cigarettes or
cigarette paper or smoking mixtures
that can be used In making cigarettes.
One Of the most remarkable Of these
sections is that which gives constables
or park keepers the right to search
children suspected of hiding cigarettes
and to take the same away from them.
Perhaps the best section of all is the
one making it unlawful for people who
have charge OF children to insure or
to attempt to insure their lives.
! we need some legislation Of that
sort right here in America, and 1t Is
up to the women to see that we get 1t.

August 4, 1909
DIR. Ella Hull, Fargo, n. d.
have seen an osteopathic note in
The Fargo Forum in which you claim
to cure rheumatism by osteopathy.
Please be kind enough and let me
know what kind Of treatment osteo-
pathy is. I am troubled with rheuma-
tism for one year and nothing will
cure me. Respectfully,
My Reply.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of inquiry is
at hand regarding osteopathy as a cure
for rheumatism. AS you have only had
rheumatism for one year, believe your
case is durable. We give no drugs,
but we put you in condition that the
excretories-which are the lungs, the
skin, the kidneys and rhe bowels, may
throw off this waste, which in accumu-
lating in your system, forms poison.
The spine is the great center from
which we work and from which we
trace the cause of trouble. The trou-
BILE removed nature restores you.
Respectfully,
Dr. Ella Hull, Fargo.

Voice of Niagara Is Mute.


Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-THE voice
of Niagara was mute today for the
second time in the memory of man.
The first time was late in February,
when following a severe northerly
blow the falls ran dry. Now, follow
ing severe Southwestern, the river is
frozen solid from bank to bank
Unprecedented weather has brought
unprecedented conditions. On We'd
nesday of last week the worst gale of
the season, and the most virulent in
the history of the weather bureau for
April, was recorded, and following the
lakes and the canals. to the Niagara,
left ruin in its wake--1,he olid-ire
fields of Lake Erie were churred from
end to end and piled in a huge con-
glomerated mass at the lower end of
the lake.
At Niagara Falls there had o1en a
heavy ice bridge in the pool below the
cataract since the middle of the Win
ter. Under the impact of the mass of
ice from the lake above and the added
floods brought down by the wind, the
bridge gave way and began to surge
down the rapids. But before it could
win freedom in the ample waters of
Lake Ontario the wind shifted again
to the north. Instantly the moving
floes packed at the mouth of the
river. Each instant of cold CONCEALED
the pack more solidly, and each hour
brought added pressure from above.
Unable to escape by its natural
channel, the level of the river rose by
leaps and bounds. The highest flood
level recorded from previous years
was twenty-eight feet above the nor
NAL. Friday night the river was forty
feet above normal.
Water poured over the window stills
of the Ontario Power company and
flooded. the machines. The tracks of
the Great Gorge route were covered
from the lower steel arch bridge to
Lewiston.
Conservative estimates place the
damage at $1,OOO,OOO All day long
constant stream of visitors poured
down the railway tracks, the trolley
tracks, packed all trains and the cars
and even rode and walked across the
country to see what is not likely to be
repeated within the present genera
ton.

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 19.-Dr. E. P
Rylond, who filled the pulpit of the
First Methodists Church South of this
city for two years and was transferred
to the large church in Houston, Tex,
about three months ago, has decided

What has caused DIR. Ryland to make
this change is not known at this time
He was one of the most able of the
methodist ministers in Southern Cali

gretted at the time. He was the presi-
dent of the Los Angeles Ministerial
association since its inception and was
one of the most active members OF
that body.
Since leaving here the church here

TIMBER LAND THREATENED
IN SAN GABRIEL RESERVE

PASADENA, Sept. 13.-At 10 o'clock
tonight a terrific forest fire is sweep
ing over tie summit of Mt. Pacifico,
about fifteen miles north of the sum-
nit of Mt. Wilson, threatening to
sweep clean an enormous area of heaV-
lily timbered land.
This fire. which appears to be one of
the worst in the history of the San
Gabriel reserve, started about II
o'clock this morning on the heavily
wooded north slope of Mt. Pacifico.
Famed by a stiff north wind, the fire
soon spread rapidly and began To
surge up to the mountain top.
Manager Fred Ross of the Mt, Will
son hotel first noticed the heavy
smoke and notified the forest rangers.
Forest Supervisor Charlton started at
once for the scene of action and ali of
the forest rangers in the West Fork
division and from the Acton side of the
mountains were called into service.
That there will be a hard fight is GER
tain, because there is no water on the
slope of Mt. Pacifico at this season of
the year, and the only recourse will be
from back fire or by packing water in
over the mountain trails.
While the Mt. Pacifico fire was burn
ing three other fires were reported to
the rangers. One was said to be at the
head Of the San Fernando valley. The
second was said to be about halfway
down the valley. The third was report
ed from Point Lookout, in the Puente
hills

Emile Rambaud an employe of q

at No. 1886 North Main street, while
crossing the railway tracks at Leroy

night by an engine and hurled con-
siderable distance.
An hour later two boys crossing the
tracks saw the unconscious man lying
on the outbound track and notified
Patrolman Barr, who rescued the man
just as train No. Z was within a few
feet of the body. The two boys, be-
lieying thy had found a corpse, be-
came frightened and ran away without
revealing their identity.
The police ambulance was summoned
and Rambaud was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital. Examination by the po-
lice surgeons showed the man had sus-
tained several bruises on the head and
his right ear was nearly severed.
Rambaud was unable to give clear
account of how the accident happened,
and simply stated he was hit by some-
thing. That the injured man had been
lying on the tracks a long time was
evidenced by the coagulated blood, and
to the two unidentified boys is due the
credit for saving his life.
Rambaud's brother appeared at the
receiving hospital and stated his
brother was 3S years old and unmar-
ried, and employed at the winery.
Although his condition is serious, the
police surgeons believe there is a
chance for recovery.

n AGING fires broke out in five
X, places yesterday among the hills
~ and valleys in the vicinity of Los
Angeles. All day organized bands OF
farmers combatted with a confiagra-
ton that threatened to destroy every
thing in sight in the hills along the
Las Posas valley. Forest rangers
fought all night against a fierce fire
that swept across the summit of Mt.
Pacifico. in the San Gabriel forest re-
serve. Two fires in the San Fernando
valley and one in the Puente hills oc-
cupied the attention of other rangers
and volunteer bands of farmers and
stockmen.
After days struggle with the con-
f1agration in the hills along the Las
Posas valley the farmers of that Sec
tion succeeded in keeping the damage
down to about $4,000. The fire again
gained headway after dark had fallen
and threatened scores of homes and
rich crops near Fairview, Epworth and
Moor Park.
As there is no water on the slope OF
Mt Pacifico the forest rangers We're
forced to rely on back fire and the
small quantity of water which could be
packed over the mountain trails. The
fire was raging fiercely late last night
and the damage could not be esti-
mated.
