ORPHANS join IN
Fighting FLAMES
Fifty Energetic Boys Prevent
Spread of Fire to San An
selm0 Institution
Especial Dispatch to The Call

SAN 4ANSEIMO, Oct. 15.-Fifty chill
dren of the San Anselmo Presbyterian
orphanage, under the leadership of Su-
perintendent' j. S. Doane, joined with
number of volunteer firemen and ranch
ers this morning in fighting fire that
broke out among fallen eucalyptus
trees on the ORGY Short ranch and
threatened to spread to the orphanage
farm. The orphan boys beat back the
flames with wet sacks and branches in
the face OF brisk wind and were
largely responsible in saving their
home. While the orphanage buildings
were 500 yards from the fire dry grass
and trees would have carried 1t rapidly
to the institution had it not been for
the youthful fire fighters.
Although the origin of the fire is un-
certain 1t is believed that a ranch
hand, who was cutting down the trees
dropped a, lighted cigarette in the dry
grass. The trees. several hundred in
number, had fallen across a dry creek
bed, allowing a good draft underneath
The ranch hands were unable to cope
with it alone and called the local fire
department
Before the firemen arrived the or
pIlans, whose home adjoins the ranch
formed a brigade and attacked the
flames. The little fellows braved the
intense heat from the burning euca-
lyptus trees for more than an hour
often being hidden in the suffocating
fumes. The fire spread along a boun-
Diary fence and over the long grass to-
ward the Presbyterian, home, but the
children beat it back with their water
soaked grain bags. Aside from the de-
struction Of the trees and fencing no
damage was done

turned over to the Southern Pacific, as
the various sections of the line We're
completed. This resolution contained
the same proviso as TO mineral lands
in these words:
Expressly saving and preserving
all the rights Of actual settlers, to-
gether with the other conditions and
restrictions provided Tor in the third
section OF said act"
The third section referredto was that
safeguarding the mineral lands.
This was the condition Of the grant
fully recognized and understood when
the railroad set about to get title. 1t
began by appointing Jerome Madden
as special land agent. Madden made
affidavit in 1892 that the lands named
were nonmineral This view was i'm
posed upon the mineral division of the
general land office, as is attested by the
following document of record:
General land Office. mineral diVi-
sion June %. 1894.
This certifies that the tracts de-
scribed in the foregoing clear list

are found not TO be in conflict with
mining claims and were not re-
turned as mineral hy the United

selections or within six miles of
such selections.

Keeping faith with the platform dec
larations made by the first direct pri-
mary platform convention. the repub-
Hcan state central committee has
announced that II will not accept cam
paign funds collected from state
employees. That announcement was
made upon receipt Of notification OF a
Of the state harbor commission.
The refusal of that fund by the state
central committee does not imply any
hostility to the contributors. but is no
tice to all state employees that the merit
or civil service declarations of the
platform were not vote catching
phrases and that the retention of state
employment is not contingent upon
campaign fund contributions. Chair

SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 15-Adelaide
Grossi, pretty Is year old girl, ended

secure parental consent Another note
was left to her parents, but no motive
was given for the cause of her act
During the day Miss Grossi had been
visiting friends with her mother and
apparently was in a jovial frame of
mind. Upon returning home she re-
tired to her room and soon after the
family heard cries. Her father went
into the room and found her dying.
Throwing her arms around her fathers
neck, the girl exclaimed: Father, for
give me for what I have done.a I am
going to die" She told her father
to look in a satchel for the empty vial

LEST WE FORGET.
BY EDWIN a. NYR.


The whirligig of time and the BOOM
erang of history
In 1887 William Lyon Mckenzie was
the head of a rebellion in upper Can
ada.
A price of $4,000 was put upon the
head of this rebel by the government.
Presto.
In the year 1910 Mckenzie King. q
grandson Of the rebel of 81. is minister
of labor OF the Dominion of Canada.
That the grandson is worthy of his
grandsire who fought for the liberties
of the Canadian people is shown by the
high esteem in which Mckenzie King
is held no less than by his ability.
1t was King whose personal influence
settled the recent strike on the Grand
Trunk lines. And. mere than that. by
interfering in an official way he estab-
lished government Intervention as q
proper procedure in Industrial disturb

everything the Canadian rebels fought
for in that revolt was finally granted
Most of the reforms came in 1870
And this is the lesson:
Whatever is worth while in govern
ment has been fought for by some
body somewhere.
Eternal vigilance is the price of the
complete recognition of the political
rights Of the people. What the people
get for themselves they must fight for.
Happily for our day and country,
there is no longer need for appeal to
the arbitrament of arms. There is the
ballot box, that executes a freeman's
will as lightning does the will of God"
But we forget
When the war drums Of exalted pa
triotic passion beat their call. when
the flag of reform goes by. the soldiers
of the right following in divine mad
ness their divine impulses. sweep from
in front of them the organized forces
of unrighteous routine and Of fixed
wrong. And then
The people forget.
The battlefags Of high resolve are
fured. the war drums of righteousness
throb no longer the tidal wave recedes.
and greed and selfshness are again en-
throned.
