Manila, p. Fifteen thousand per.
sons were made homeless here in a
fire. The fire was the most destruc-
tive here in more than twenty years.
1t destroyed 5000 houses in the north
eiIl SECTION of the city, a native quar-
ter known as the San Lazaro district.
Two bodies were found Saturday in
the ruins.
Police estimate the loss at $1,000

over thirty acres.
American sailors from the flagship
Huron of the Asiatic fleet and Amer
lean soldiers from the Manila bar
racks were cheered as they marched
into the burning district to assist in
lighting the flames. They RACED
houses surrounding the burning area,
making fire break which halted the
progress of the fire.
Red Cross workers before daylight
began assembling food and clothing
for the homeless, most of whom spent
the night in vacant lots. An initial
appropriation Of $4,000 was made by
the city council for relief work, and
subscriptions have been opened.
Search in the ruins revealed bodies
of ZOsine Santos and his 12-year-ofd
nephew, clasped in each others arms
and encircled by the iron hoops Of
large water barrel. 1t Is believed that
when their escape was cut off by
flames, they took refuge in the bar
rel, filled with water, hoping to save
their lives. The wooden slaves

Chapter wv

In a neighboring county joining
Bingham is settlement that is very
long and narrow with railroad ant
river running thru the center
When few settlers got together and
laid out school district they took
in just as many miles of railroad as
they could, voted a special tax and
got plenty of money. In the long
ago when Mr.. Vanderbilt was the
greatest railroad king he developed
the slogan The people be damned. :
The next generation or two, which
we belong to, the people went back
at the railroad with a similar slo-
gan, THE railroad be damned" In
the district we are speaking of they
worked that slogan pretty strong and
always had plenty of money.
Not satisfied with making the rail
road company pay the expenses of the
school district the school trustees
got up scheme~to absorb some OF
the money.
One of them lived up the river
from the school house at consider
able distance, another lived away
down the river and the third one
lived across the river a considerable
distance from the schoolhouse. Each
one of the trustees had one or more
children attending school. The one
that lived farthest away had a
daughter and she rode to school on
a knot-headed pony The one who
lived across the river a considerable
side had white top rig and his
children rode to school in the white
tope rig and picked up some others
along the way. In the evening they
came back again in the same way.
The one who lived away up the river
had vehicle and his boys and girls
rode to school and returned in the
evening.
Once a month the clerk of the
board issued orders for warrants to
these three trustees for the service of
the knot-headed pony, conveying
passengers to and from school, for
the price of the white top rig and
for the price of the other vehicle.
The school board by unanimous con-
sent allowed each others bills. The
county superintendent of schools, a
woman and good locker, received
the order for warrants month after
month satisfied herself that they
were proper bills to pay" then en-
tered them on the proper page of the
ledger and passed the documents for
payment. She knew what these bills
were for, and she knew that the rail-
road company was paying most of
the taxes, altho as the settlement
developed, the people got SO they
paid part of the taxes out of their
own pockets.
Finally man of some sense and
some courage and some ideas of fair
play, man with a conscience who
was not afraid to address his fellow
man and tell him he is wrong,
raised his voice against that kind of
robbery, told them they ought to be
to collect a reasonable tax
from the railroad company that was
necessary to educate their children |
DR. to help them to educate them.
That they had carried the matter too i
lar, saw the county superintendent of
schools and talked to her like
brother, told her that she belonged

GARDEN SEED FOR YOU

Senator f. f. Cooling has sent q
pouch of garden seed done up in
envelopes ready for mailing. They
are now available at the office oil
the farm bureau.
1t is Senator Goodirg's wish that
these seeds be placed where they will
do the most good possible and per-
sons who wish to plant them because
they want to raise vegetables and
especially persons who are short of
money and are having trouble getting
seed and putting their crops are
especially invited to make use of
these seeds.
If they call at the farm bureau or
ring and give name and address they
will be mailed out.
Our observation of past years led
us to believe that seed in this way
was often wasted, people call for
them and take greater quantities
than they actually use. Most people
will use these seeds as If they were
paying for them out of their pockets
at the time they are received.

the schools follow her illustrious ex-
ample in helping to separate some
| body from their money without JUS
tice; said that the original intent
and purpose Of the law was to have
the orders for county warrants
passed to the county superintendent
so that she could check against i'm
proper bills and payments. And that
the superintendent being a high
minded woman Of noble character
had been trusted by the legislators
and the governor, who created the
law, and had been trusted by the tax
payers and the tax spenders, that she
had the honor of being umpire be-
tween all these contending influences.
Every time she passed one of these
bills for payment she had betrayed
that trust. Every time she had
passed one of those bills for payment
she had violated her oath of office
and committed a crime for which
she was liable on her official bond
OF course she turned red in the
face when she was told all this. It
goes without saying that she did not
love that man much who told her
these things. After that she saw
a great light and reformed to some
extent and settled down and tried to
be as decent as possible in the con-
duct of her official business.

able property, the settlers in the
school district had very little if any
property, but they had all the vote
and they would 60 the limit in vot-
ing special school tax. All they had
to do was to do the voting and all
that the railroad company had to do
was the paying. 1t is perfectly easy
to vote special tax when somebody
else pays it, when the settlers that
live in that school district that
merely filed on some land and made
little or no Improvements and had
nothing to tax they voted for special
school tax. the Short Line paying,
the settlers did not consider 1t high
way robbery because there was law
for voting the tax and there was
law to enable them to call an cleo
ton at which time they could call a
special tax, they voted all the taxes
they could and because they kept all
the money and ordered their school
affairs the trustees drew out what
they could by means Of the special
delivery of their own children that
we have been telling you about. The |
school trustees had means by which |
they could declare dividend upon
the property Of the Oregon Short !
Line by way of the school house. The
stock holders of the Short Line could !
not do anything of that kind, but the |
school trustees, by taking advantage |
Of the law provided for the benefit !
Of their children, could extract this !
money from the railroad company. It |
was prostituting the laws of the
school system to evil purposes

Years Writing Book
This was Mr.. .Hailey's modest esti-
mate of himself, but his friends diff
fered with him. 1t is due to his
wonderful memory that the state
now has his History of Idaho" on
which all state histories have since
been founded. The book contains
data and incidents which would have
been lost to the world had not Mr..
Hailey's memory been so faithful and
his energy so untiring. Mr.. HALEY
was years writing his book and it
was finally completed and compiled
with the aid of his daughter, Mrs.
Leona Cartee, in 1910.
In 1907 the Idaho State Historical
society was founded by an act of leg
islature and Mr.. HALEY has been the
curator ever since. He was able to
engage in active work in the office
until short time ago.
Mr.. HALEY married Miss Louisa
Griffin of Oregon in 1847. Eight
children were born to them, of whom
five are now living. He is survived
by Jesse C.. HALEY of Owyhee county;
John HALEY, jr., of Pendleton, Ore,
Burrel B. HALEY of Boise, George c.
HALEY of San Jose, CAL, and one
daughter, Leona Cartee Of Alameda,
Cal. His sons, Jesse, Burrell and
George were with him when he died
and have been his constant bedside
watchers for weeks. No funeral ar
rangements will be made until John
HALEY of Pendleton is heard from.
Mrs. Cartee will not be able to come
to the funeral.
Governor Davis has asked that the
body lie in state at the capitol Tues
day from II a. m. until 2 p. M, in
recognition Of Mr.. Hailey's record as
congressman.
The following grand children sur
vive him: John T. HALEY, Jesse r. |
HALEY, Mrs. Lulu Sacks, Frank |
HALEY, Ora HALEY, George B. HALEY, |
Mrs. Lorene Bales, Gretchen HALEY
and eleven great grandchildren.-

Pioneer Historian
Passed Away at
Home at Capital

| John HALEY. pioneer, historian
Familiarity known to the entire state
as Uncle john" passed away at hi
home on State street at 9 O'Clock
Sunday morning, after an illness Of
several months. He was SO years OF
age. Three of his children were with
him at the time of his death.
No other man is SO closely identi-
fed with the entire development OF
the territory and state as Mr.. HALEY
He was one of the few men living in
these later years who came thru this
section before Boise was founded. 1t
was conversation between him and
Maj. Lungenbeil that caused the
latter to locate the Boise barracks on
it's present site.
Mr.. HALEY was born in Tennessee,
August 20, 1885. His father and
grandfather, however, were Virgin
ians. The family moved to Missouri
in 184S and in 1853 young John
crossed the plains to Oregon, a mem
Der of the Tatum company. He
started work first at Coos Bay, where
he engaged in both places in mining
and farming and then joined the
volunteers in the Rogue river Indian
war.
Pioneer Stage Owner
In a business way Mr.. Haley is
better known as stage driver and
stage owner and many a present day
citizen recalls free ride given him
by Uncle John" when he was unable
to pay the price of coach ride.
In 1872 he represented the ter
ritory in the forty-third congress.
After this he was again offered the
position by both parties, but de-
clined the honor to attend to his pri-
vate affairs. ~.
A man of great wealth in the
seventies, he later met with heavy
financial reverses, having to pay
$4,000 for bondsmen for other
parties, loosing 10000 head Of sheep
worth 81 per head by death, and in
vesting in Boise real estate which de-
clined in value, all in a short time.
In 1884 he was elected to con-
gress again.
Mr.. Haley located the land on
which the town Of HALEY now stands
and it was named after him. In 1899
he served as warden Of the peniten-
tiary, where he introduced number
Of excellent reforms.
Mr.. HALEY was man Of clear in
tellect and a close student of gov
ernmental affairs. He maintained
his splendid faculties up to the last.
In his history Of Idaho, thru which
his name will 60 down to posterity,
he says of himself: II knew but lit
lie when / started out to do for my
self; have been trying to learn some
hing ever since, but find know but |
little now, but remember most all / |

DEATH OF THE
KAISERIN

In the death of the former empress
of Germany, the world finds itself
in a peculiar position respecting the
grief stricken household.
The empress always acted we'll her
part and won the love and admiration
of the world. When the kaiser
proved himself the arch traitor to
mankind, it was not encumbent upon
his wife and the mother of the Ger
man princes to turn against her hus-
band and sons. She kept her place
in the home and when they were
overthrow she went with them into
exile. She is said to have grieved
much over their reverse of fortunes,
and we assume, if she recognized
their faults and crimes it was not to
be expected that she would give ex-
preston to her thoughts on that SUBJ
A.. ject. She suffered out the remaining
span of her life, loyal and uncom-
planning, and now fills a coffin at a
funeral.
However much people may have
hated the kaiser, and whatever i'll
will they harbOred for him or wishes
for punishment or torture, it does no
good to give expression to it, and it
is not necessary to give expression to
any sympathy to the criminal men,
bers of the family who survive, even
in the hour of death.
1t may be proper to say that it is
better that she was called and that
her husband should be left to suffer
In exile and in remOrse, IL he is cap
able of feeling remose at the wrongs
he wrought, than that he should be
released from life and his wife left
to suffer.
The kaiser is not permitted to at
tend the funeral. He could not go
into Germany. He could not travel
thru Holland excepting eleven miles
to the depot, where the special train
took the body of the empress. He
probably feels for once, the restraint |
he SO freely imposed upon others. |
Turned back like child or a GRIM
inal, tho kindly of course, and told |
he cannot 60. is something new to
him.
During the world war when his
dentist, an American, was called
early one morning to treat tooth
that was paining him, the kaiser re-
marked that the tooth had been pain
ing him during the night and that
he was not accustomed to sufferina
pain. He had always been
shielded from suffering. At that
same hour millions of people were
suffering intensely from his acts and
could not escape il.
