NURSES SAVE PATIENTS.
Heroism in Burning Hospital Pre-
vents Loss of Life.

San Fancisco-F Flames broke out
Saturday morning in the old St. Fran
els hospital on California street, near
Devisadero, one of the worst fire traps
in San Francisco. That scores of pa
tients were not injured or killed is due
to heroic rescue work performed by a
corps of nurses, headed by Miss w.
Lewis, who was in charge of the
wards on the third floor where the fire
broke out.
The moment the blaze was discover
ed Miss Lewis, shouting for assis-
tance, fought her way into the room
of Nathaniel Josephs, 81 years old,
and carried the elderly patient to safe
ty.
Returning to the building, Miss
Lewis assisted her companion nurses,
to remove patients who occupied
wards on the third floor, where the fire
was raging.
Through smoke-flled Railways and
down narrow staircases the valiant
nurses on the third and second floors
carried their charges until every room
in the annex had been cleared. The
smoke at times was binding and chok-
ing but the white-capped messengers
did not look to their personal safety
or make an attempt to save any of
their personal effects until the report
had gone forth that all of the patients
had been removed to safety.
What added to the danger to the pa
tients in the annex was the fact that
the structure was absolutely devoid of
outside fire escapes. All of the pa
tients had to be carried down the long,
narrow stairs and through the narrow
corridors. Had panic occurred in
the wards it is probable that scores of
nurses and patients would have been
killed.

GO WEST
COIOnIst Travel ECIipsGs All Pre-
ViOuS Records.
More In One Month Than in Forty
Five Days During Same
Period in 1910.

Chicago - Revised statistics COM
piled by officials of the Hartman line
and reports furnished by representa-
tives of other railroads which handled
colonist passenger business to the Pa
ciic Coast during the 30-day period
ending April 10 disclose that all rec
ords for that class of travel during the
annual spring period were smashed
this year.
Tables that have been compiled
show that $4,000 persons Travelled
from hundreds of points in the East,
North and South cities on the western
edge of the continent while the special
rates offered by the various lines were
in force This figure, it is declared,
exceeds by fully $1,000 to the total Of
last spring when colonist rates were
offered throughout period of 45 days.
The travel this year was distributed
as follows:
gSouthern Pacific, via Ogden, 49,
32O; via Ell Paso, 1929; via Los An
geles, 868; via Portland, 3, ,761.
Oregon Washington Railroad &
Navigation company, IL, 900.
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, 20,-
600.
Northwest route, via Hill lines, es-
timated, 15, 900.
Via other lines, estimated, 10, 900,
1t is estimated that fully so, 900 Of
all those who travelled on colonist tick
cts this spring went to California and
extreme Western states other than
those classified in the Pacific North
west group. The Santa Fe carried
practically all of its colonist travellers
to California, and the bulk of this
class of business over the Hartman
lines went in the same direction.
Data compiled by representatives of
the Hartman roads for the spring
period of 1910 shows that 20, ITO col
onist passeners were transported over
the Southern Pacific line during that
time. and during that time and that
10, 400 others Travelled over the Ore
gon-W Washington Railroad & Naviga-
tion company's route.
The total for the Santa Fe road this
year, it is declared, shows an increase
of fully Is per cent over the business
done last spring.
A table prepared by passenger traffic
officials of the Hartman lines in re-
gard to colonist travel to California
from the spring of 1901 to the fall of
1910 shows the following figures:
Via Ogden, 1856, 750.
Via Ell Paso, 179, ,678.
Via Portland, As, 794.
Via Los Angeles, IA, LOG.
Total, 625, 1923.
The Santa Fe road is offering a spe-
cial rate of one fare for the round trip
to points in California account of the
Electrical Supply Jobbers' association
convention.

Movement TO Treble Capacity of the

TO produce a bee that WIN not sting
and that viii at the same time be
twice or three times as industrious as
the bee of today is one Of the most
important tasks undertaken by the
new beekeeping bureau of the Mas

Professor Burton n. Gates, state in
spector of apiaries, is In charge of the
work and is beginning a series Of in
vestigations and practical experiments
which promise to promote beekeeping
not only in the country, but in cities.
That there is room for bees that will
produce ten times as much honey and
wax as are now harvested is a theory
of Professor Gates, and he has begun
a campaign of education which is car
ried on by a correspondence school
and which will be strengthened by a
special course in beekeeping at the
