was buttercups, then violets, then
May apples. The morning dew held
their freshness and she guessed the
donor, who had rambled the woods
in the early dawn to procure these
humble offerings.
Tim did not impose upon their
kindness by calling again, but they
heard that he had been ordered away
from the isolated timber town and
had disappeared.
He left behind him a vivid memory,
however. In that hour when he had
been the guest of little Nellie he had
filled the child's mind with new
thoughts of nature. Tramp, derelict
as he was, poor Tim would have been
a poet had not strong drink wrecked
his life. His ardent listener had in
spired him to dflate on the symbolism
and romantic beauties of the wild
wood.
For weeks Nellie talked of him, her
head full of flower fairies, dew dia-
monds, starshine pydes, all the
quaint conceits on which Tim had
dreamed in his long rambles in the
woods. The wild flowers had helped
the illusions until they ceased to
come.
1t was three months later, and
falling leaf and faded flower had sue
ceeded to the opulent bloom of the
rich forest land. The little isolated
settlement among the pineries was
doing daily in the haze of the smoke
film borne down upon them lightly
but warningly from the usual wood
fires to the north.
Life went on in it's usual monoto-
nous routine at Woodville. There
was constant discussion of the big
forest fires, but they had been hither-
to eyaded or diverted. Mr.. Burton
came into the house late one after
noon with a rather serious face.

where's Nellie?"
"She went off to the south woods
after flowers" replied Mrs. Burton.
"She ought to be home" said the
husband, and when it began to get on
toward dusk he started out to hunt
her up.
p There was a double alarm for the
solicitous parents as darkness came
down. No trace could be discovered
of the missing child. Over this the
Burtons were frantic. The forest
two miles to the north were all ablaZe
and the sky red as blood, the air
heavy with smoke and cinders.
Mounted runners sent out to the
north returned with the intelligence
that the flames would be upon the
town within two hours. There was
but one course Of action open-to flee
the town and take to the lake mile
to the east.
Friendly neighbors had joined in
the search for little Nellie The woods
to which she had gone were in the
direct path of the fire. They had to
return to the settlement after vain
quest to arrange for their own safety
in flight. Burton intrusted his wife
to their care. He renewed his search
for little Nellie alone. The next morn
ing, after a desperate retreat mile
by mile from the fire, he crawled out
from a quagmire where he had been
forced to take refuge, and over which
the flames had jumped to seize upon
more combustible material beyond.
The Burtons, husband and wife,
took up Tfe's burdens anew, bereaved
and depressed. They had found no
trace of their lost darling in the burnt
over area. Their home had been only
partly burned down, as with some

SEWER SYSTEM
STILL UNSETTLED

Lack of representation from the I'M
perial trustees at the meeting of the
city trustees last night, to discuss
the proposed joint sewer system that
will be used by both cities, probably
will result in a continuance of the
discussion until the next meeting, un-
less special provision is made 1t was
expected the Imperial trustees would
appear to determine some arrange
ment that would be satisfactory, as
there exist at present some clauses in
the contract submitted to Imperial
that have given rise to, dissens'ion
there.
Unofficial announcement last week
was made of the probable acceptance
of the contract, with some interpola-
tions, but no definite report has been
received by the board of this city.
Mayor Swanson this afternoon stated
that the Imperial board met last night
and that it was his belief a report
would be received from the trustees
there before the end of the present
week.

States Railroad Project Is
Being Seriously Considered

f. A. Dickson, political writer for
the Los Angeles Express and Tribune
who is close to the administration
las written for his papers, from Sac
ramento, the following on state own
ership of the Western Pacific rail
road:
THAT there exists the possibility of
California purchasing the Western
Pacific Railroad was admitted by Gov
ernor Johnson today, following an
extended conference with Rudolph
Spreckels, Attorney Charles S. Wheel
ar and Lieutenant Governor Eshle-
man.
"The suggestion created a profound
interest in both houses of the legis-
lature. 1t is an innovation in the
field of public ownership and pos
sesses possibilities that are almost
startling at first galnce. Study of
the problem, however, leads to the
conclusion that the project is feasible
and If successful would place Cali
fornia far in advance of all other
states in the matter of government
ownership and operation.
Governor Johnson would make no
statement today further than to say
that he is giving the suggestion of
state ownership of a transcontinental
railroad serious consideration.
THE proposition has such wonder
full possibilities for our state he
said, and affords to our horticultural
and other interests such promise of
commercial freedom that we are civ
tion in the hope that it may be sue
cessfully consummated'
Governor Johnson pointed out that
II California does determine to acquire
the Western Pacific the first thing
done Will be the extension of the main
trunk line from Oakland to Los An
geles. Then will follow laterals tap
ping practically every county in the
state and serving as feeders for the
main line.
"The Western Pacific is now on the
auction block. In March it failed to
meet its payment of $50,OOO,OOO worth
of first mortgage bonds, and applica-
tlon for receiver has been made. The
line is well constructed and operated
between Salt Lake City and Oakland,
a distance of about 1000 miles.
Rudolph Spreckels is recognized as
an authority on railroad matters and
he is strongly of the opinion that
the purchase of the Western Pacific
would prove a great thing for the
state.
Lieutenant Governor Esheman was
formerly president of the state rail
road commission and ranks as one of
the best informed men in the entire
country on railroad matters.
Charles S. Wheeler is well known
as a lawyer and his legal judgment
will have great weight in determining
the feasibility of the project.
"Today's conference was precipi-
tated by a resolution offered yester-
day by Senator Stanley Benedict of
Los Angeles asking Congress to ac-
quire the property. Senator Benedict
declared TODAY that he is in hearty
accord with the idea of having Cali
fornia undertake the purchase"

First Harvest of Year
Is Now in Progress

The first harvest of the year has
been begun. This is of asparagus,
and for several days the grass" has
been going to the eastern cities ia
small express shipments.
Now, however, the time has come
for carload shipments, the first of
which will be moved this week, and
which will be followed in rapid sue
cession by other cars, the extent of
the shipments depending more on the
condition of the market than on the
productive power of the land, as the
valley cannot continue eastern ship
ments after grass" has begun to ar
rive from nearby points.

WHO ARE THEY?

Many friends of the leading candi-
dates for popularity honors are show
ing an unusual interest in the con-
test, and the leaders find that sub
scriptions are coming much easier
than they expected. Naturally
friends of contestants are anxious
that their favorite should win the
beautiful Little Aristocrat," and
many are volunteering subscriptions,
while others are extending their sub
scriptions to longer periods.
Importance of Bonus.
Some friends of contestants do not
understand and realize the import
ance of winning the bonus a number
of times, and candidates would do
well to see that their acquaintance
are thoroughly familiar with this fea-
ture. The contestants taking fullest
advantage of the bonus offer expiring
next week will find they will have
no cause for worry during the last
week of the contest.
Second Payments.
Second payments on new subscrip-
tions are considered as extensions"
of new subscriptions, and carry votes
accordingly, and also count as "new"
toward bonus vote offers. Thus, a
new subscription for a year carries
$4,000 votes. even though it is brought
into the office in two installments.
New Bonus Vote Offer.
A new bonus vote offer will be in
effect until Wednesday. March II. AL

(By John Edwin Neyin)

Washington, March 11..President
Wilson today ordered a searching in
quiry into all of the facts connected
with the sinking Of the American shir
William p. Frye by the German con-
verted cruiser Eitel Frederick.
He said: "rhe most exhaustive in
vestigation will be made and what
over action is taken will be based on
the result of it,"
The president has cancelled all en-
gagements for the next three weeks
in order to devote his entire time to
international affairs. Secretary Bry-
an is cooperating in the inquiry. Ad-
mlnlstratlon officials are confident
Germany eventually will recompense
the United States for the loss of the
Frye
1t is also believed the Eitel will be
interned, as she is in bad shape.
Three British cruisers are lowering
today off the Virginia capes waiting
Tor her. If the statements of Cap
tain Kiehne of the Frye are true,
America will insist on reparation.
The administration has assumed the
position outlined in the recent "strict
accountability" note to Germany. The
president made it plain that the Unit
ed States has surrendered none of its
rights under international law and
stands ready to take necessary steps
to safeguard those rights, especially
on the high seas.
According to Assistant Secretary
Peters, in whose department the de-
cision rests, the Eitel will not have
to leave port or be interned at the end
of "a hours. The length of stay will
be controlled according to the pecu-
liar circumstances of the case.
The president has been confronted
during his administration with some
of the weightiest problems since that
of Lincoln. The tariff and currency
questions were the beginning of the
series of important questions. Then
came the Mexican crisis and the land
ing of American troops. The inter-
nal disorders in Colorado were scarce
~ settled when the spectre of war
rose in Europe. Since then President
Wilson has had a series of interna-
tional problems such as have been
faced by but few presidents.
Investigation Begun.
Norfolk, Va, March 11.2Represen-
tatives of the state department arrived
today to begin the governments in
quiry into the SINKING of the William
p. Frye by the Eitel. The prisoners
of war brought by the Eitel will be
released this afternoon on orders from
the Department of Labor, which
placed them in the category of ship
wrecked immigrants.
Collector of Port Hamilton told Cap
tain Thierichens of the Eitel that she
would be allowed to make only such
repairs as would render her sea-
worthy.
If the vessel decides to return to sea
the captive crews must be taken
aboard. If it is interned they will
be released. Collector of Port Ham
ilton reported to the treasury depart
ment that all passengers on the Eitel
had been landed.
1t is unoffcially confirmed this aft
ernoon that the government neutral
ity board, after considering the case
of the German converted cruiser, de-
cded that she may stay at Newport
News long enough to make repairs,
then put to sea if she chooses.
