There were 250 men and women In the
building when the fire broke out. Of these
It Is believed about 200 escaped without In

The fire started In the bakery house In
the center of the building and had a good
etart before discovered. The blaze was flret
dlicovcred by Billy White , Jaku Yuen and
Jack Dooley. They summoned the watch
man and rushed to the upper portion of the
building , shouting that the house was on

The alarm had been turned In and the de

fliemen arrived , men in their underclothing
end others half dressed were clambering
down the flro escapes ] In the rear. Others ,
and the servant girls with them , were at the
windows In the front of the building frautl _
cally calling for help. They were cut off
from tbo rear of the building by the dense
smoke.
The ladders were run up , but not before
many of the frightened people had jumped
Others , Including all the female help , were
gotten out by the firemen. On the sldo of
the building many bad made ropes ot tlielr
bedclothes rr.tl sought to escape In thai
way. Some of them succeeded , but In other
cases the ropes broke and the men dropped
incny feet to the ground.
As fast n.i tbo Inmates were rescued cc
jumped , those Injured were placed In ve
lilclcs and carried to the different hospitals
These Injured slightly or valnjured betook
themselves to the houses ot neighbors and
frlervJs In order to secure some clothing. No

at the- time ot the flro. This made It 1m

The night was bitterly cold , the thcr

As long as there appeared any chance o

was only after there was no further chance
to do this that they began work on the fire

A carefully conducted survey has been
made of the counties of Los Angeles , San
Icrnanllno , Riverside and Orange , with a
low to ascertaining as nearly as possible
he conditions governing the liability of the
itrus fruit belts to frost and some 1m-
> : rtant deductions have been made there-
ram.
It was also expected that the survey
i'ould supply some definite knowledge as to
lie percentage of oranges affected by the
accession of ifrosts. Jlut the moro careful
ho Inquiry was made the more averse were
he Investigators to make any guess as to
ho percentage of loss and a careful esti
mate Is Impossible. Without assuming to
glvo anything like an exact estimate of
osscs It Is 'believed to be a conservative
statement that one-third of the fruit of
louthern California Is moro or less affected.
The heaviest burden of the loss falls on
ho lowlands of Riverside county , where It
cm bo said that all the fruit below Indiana
avenue , Including Magnolia and California
avenues and the cross streets , Is damaged
o a greater or less degree. This territory
nclude ! ) a largo body of old trees , mostly
seedling , and In Itself represents probably
one-fifth of the oranges of southern Cal-
fornla. The fruit on a portion of Colton
erraco Is a complete los.3. That of Moreno ,
'crrls ' and Alcssandro can be said to bo
practically a total loss , the- frosts demon-
itratlng conclusively that there Is no orange
and on the Jactnto plains and very little
on the foothills surrounding It , Irvlngdalo
and Vlnoland , In Los Angeles county , have
suffered the total less of their fruit and it
a clearly shown they arc not In a section
adapted to citrus fruits.
Touching the lemon Industry It can be
said that the damage to the crop on the
rc s reaches n heavier percentage than the
damage to oranges. It Is an encouraging
'act ' that there Is scarcely a ease In which
: rcos have been killed by frosts , the loss
> elng wholly limited to the present crop.
No llttlo attention has been paid to flic
ondltlon of the lemon crop. In general
t can bo said that lemons which -were
ready for picking have suffered a little more
than oranges In the same district , whllo tin-
rlpo fruit has suffered still more , the In-
lury increasing with the decrease In size.
Since the recent frosts , however , the trees
liavo very generally sent out new blooms.
As a result of this condition there will be
a fair supply of lemons for shipment up to
April , when there will como a dearth of
fruit lasting until July , when the blooms
now on the trees will begin to mature 'and
by August the shipments will again bo about
normal. There are very rare cases where
unpicked olives A'ere Injured to a certain
extent In southern California. In none of
the citrus fruit sections did the mercury
fall low enough to Injure this fruit , though
at Lake View and ono or two other local
ities of the orange belt the mercury reg
istered eighteen degrees above zero , and In
jured olives as well as the folia so on the
trees. Tha cold of Tuesday and Wednesday
nights has given place to rain tonight and
the prospects are that the worst Is over.

Wyoming's Woman Official Attracts

Inclilfiit * of Her Life.
A woman politician has come here from out
of the west , reports the New York Sun.
She Is the genuine article , for she not only
votes , but holds a high state offlco. She Is
Miss Hstello Keel , state superintendent of
public Instruction and register of the State
Board of Land Commissioners of Wyoming.
Miss Reel Is stopping at the Waldorf-Asto
ria , and she Is neither wild nor woolly. She
doesn't wear bloomers , either , but stunning
looking gowns made by a swell tailor. In
fact , this politician Is a distinctly genuine
woman , for the Sun reporter heard her talk
ing to some Now York women politicians
about clothes and beaux.
"I'm afraid of Sun reporters , " she said
frankly as soon aa her visitors had gone.
"Ono of 'em did mo up moro completely once
than I'd over been done up before or since.
Ho did it editorially , too. Why , a series of
western campaigns lot mo down easy by the
sldo of that article. U was just exactly two
years ago when It was reported that the re
publicans of Wyoming wanted to nominate
moforROVernor. ASunman wrote asking what
inj- platform would be. I wrote telling him
what It was , bait explained how nonsensical it
would bo for a woman to run for governor
at that time , and said that the report about
my nomination was bosh. He published my
platform and didn't leave a splinter ot It for
mo to stand on. I'd just like to meet the
man that wrote that article.
POLITICAL CARKBR.
"But you wanted to hear about my career
as a politician , didn't you ? What am I doIng -
Ing cast ? Why , I've been In Washington ,
working night and day , on an important mis
sion for my state , and I just came over hereto
to rest a few days before completing It. I
came to Washington to obtain several hun
dred thousand acres of land to bo added to
Jho area at the disposal of our state for
rental purposes. The governor , secretary of
stnto and register compose the land board ,
and as I am register , all of the work is
done in my office , and I have direct charge
of the leasing and selling of all state lands.
When Wyoming wag admitted to statehood
several millions of acres of land were granted
the state by the general government for the
benefit of schools , charitable and penal re
formatory Institutions , hospitals or homes for
the charges of the state , and so on , Four
years ago , when the present state adminis
tration took charge of the land affairs of the
state , a few thousand acres of this land were
rented , the Income amounting to perhaps
$100 a week. The practice of leasing lands
for grazing purposes was encouraged by the
state land board and every facility possible
given stockmen and ranchers to secure lands
at low rates of rental. The result la that
the state is now receiving several thousand
dollars a week from rentals. The demand
has been so great that practically all of our
land Is leased.
"Then , too , by reason of the Indian and
military reservations In the state , and the
. land reserved on account of being mineral
In character , wo have lost a largo boJy.
The Interior department advised m that wo
were entitled to make state selections of
land In view of this lost land , and I hastened
to the capital to complete the details of ob
j taining these lands. I've obtained lists
from the land department , and when my
work IB completed Wyoming , I hope and
have every reason to believe , will have nearly
600,000 acres added to her renting area. Wo
have now on fllo applications for leasing
which will absorb about all of these addi
tional lands. "
M'KINLEY PROSPERITY.
"You must be an energetic worker , " com
mented tbo reporter.
"Oh , all this Is due to the fact that we
are enjoying McKlnley prosperity In
Wyoming , " answered Miss Roe ! , "and It has
evidently como to stay. The two leading In-
5 dustrloa there are sheep and cattle raising.
During J the past year sheep values almost
doubled and the thousands of sheep owners
In the state enjoyed a most profitable busi
ness. The prospects are exceedingly bright
with them for the future and so many are
trying to get Into the business that It is
hardly possible to buy stock aheep. In thi >
caTTle Industry prices nave gone upwardi and
the cattle business , which is divided up
among thousands of small stockmen , In
again profitable after years of depression ,
y Is the healthy growth ot these two In
dustrie * which causes the great demand tor
rrore land for leasing purpeaes. Things are
booming In other lines of business , too. Dur
ing the last year our coal mines have worked
full time arfl the coal production of the
state -Increased 25 per cent over previous
years. At some of the mines now the men
nro all working overtime something un
precedented In the history of the state. "
"Talk 'about yourself , " suggested the In
terviewer. "How did you ; como to go Into
politics ? "
At this point Miss Helen Varlcl ; Iloswell
and Mrs. Clarence Burns , two of the best
known women in eastern politics , dropped
In to 'Miss Reel. '
see . It wasn't necessary
for the Sun woman to do any more question
ing."How
"How does It feel to vote ? " asked Mrs.
Durns.
"Feel to vote , " repeated Miss Reel In a
puzzled 1 toiw. "It doesn't feel at all. Wo
Wyoming women go In and vote Just as > ou
eastern women go In and order your meat
for 1 dinner. You see , women have been
voting In Wyoming for thirty years , and
women 1 cap get used to anything la that
time. ' . Our polling places are kept clean
and cleared , and a woman simply oteps In
and casts her ballot. '
That' , ) all there Is
to I It. Suffrage doesn't make us feel , looker
or act any differently from other women i ,
but I I believe It has made the men more
chivalrous. ( You know the women of Wyo i-
ming i didn't howl for suffrage. It was forced
on ( them by the men. The men gave the
women i the ballot to protect thelv homes ,
to 1 make a more stable population. Women
out < 1i there- never open their heads about suf
frage i , and wo cartiot understand these suf
fragists I who howl for the ballot. Wo re
ceived i the privilege of voting because It waa
necessary to the welfare of the state. "
"And I believe that Is the way It will come
to every state , " Interrupted Miss Doswoll ,
who has little patlnico with shouting cut-

A CHEYENNE INVITATION.
"I Juat wish all of you would come out to
Cheyenne , where I live , " continued Mlas
Reel , with whole-hearted western hospitality.
"Como out and visit me , and I'll show you
the women voters and change your Ideas.
Really , the eastern people have such queer
notions about us. While I was In Washing
ton a prominent politician from our state
was there and be wanted to take me out.
Ho was a very small man , and you see I'm ; J
very tall , and so I said to him , 'No , Indeed ;
I'll bo glad enough to have you call , and I'd
like to go out with you , but I won't. Don't
you know three eastern people would cay
when they saw us together , "There , now !
That's a product of woman suffrage.
"How long have you been lo politics and
how did It happen ? " asked somebody.
"I've been In politics eight years , oni I
just dropped In accidentally , " was the reply.
"I was born In Illinois , educated In Doston ,
Chicago and St. Louis , and went to Wyo
ming ten years ago for my health. My
brother , who Is an old settler there , baa a
ranch near Cheyenne , and I went out to him.
Ho la prominent In politics , but for two or
three years after going there I didn't no
much " as vole. The way I got into politics
was" tma : A woman friend of mine held
the office of superintendent of schools In
Laramle county , the most populous Ui the
state. Sbo was away from home , and wrote
asking ma to look after her rcaomlnatlcn ,
I aiked the men of the republican county
committee If they werk going to put her up
again , and they eald no , ( or her husband
had been Dominated for county clerk , and
they couldn't both be on the ticket.
"I'd always been toteniely tattreated la
educational wcvk. .Inrifact , It was life to
me , and I'd taught frt the public schools
thero. I laughlngly.Bald , 'Who are jou going
to nominate for county superintendent ? '
" 'You , ' answered" a vctcran editor , who
about ren things , ' jolc'cigly. '
" 'I never rati for ati office and I couldn't
bo elected , ' said I , - -
" 'If you allow us to use your name we'll
' see that you are debit ! ! , ' he declared.
" 'It's u bargain , ' rord I , and I was elected
by the largest majority ever given there.
I knew the school work perfectly , and went
from ruiich to ranch visiting the schools ,
often driving rlxty miles In a day. My
health became perfect an I I learned to love
that work as I'd never loved anything. At
the end of my first term I was renomlnnl d
and elected again by the largsat majority
on the ticket. I wus the only woman on It ,
and , as I said , our mm arc very chivalrous.
After my second term I was nominated for
state superintendent of public Instruction
and was the first woman In the union tn
hold a state offlcet Colorado soon followed
with a woman state ofllclil , I'vo been In
nearly four years , nnd thl ? office Includes
that of register and secretary of the Board
of Land Commissioners and secretary of fbp
Board of Charities and Reforms. The- board
has direct charge of nil the details of state
Institutions , so my work Is much and varied , "
"Do you take the same part In the cam
paigns aa your fellow candidates ? " quw
timed Miss Boswell ,
"Yea , IndeoJ. I stumped the state with a
party of candidates composed of the'gov
ernor , our representative , the state auditor
and his wife. We traveled In stage coaches
and wagons and had a great tlmo. I did
net allow the fact that I was a woman to
keep me from bearing my share of the bur
dens of the campaign , financial and other-
wlw > . I traveled over most of the stats ,
which has an area of 97,000 square tulles ,
speaking when the other candidates spokf.
I am no orator , and did not try to discuss
the political Issues of the day. In fast , t
rarely ever spoke over seven minutes , which
was probably n surprise to the men , for all
I did was tn explain the duties of the ofTlre
for which I was n candidate and tell why
I thought I could perform thorn satlsfac
torlly. Democrats and republicans alike
treated me with the greatest courtesy and
EO 'did the press.
ENJOYS THn FUN.
"Sometimes the-- papers poke fun at mo ,
however , but I enjoy it. I wont to the St.
LouU convention and at that time was wear
ing a very handsome silver bolt , which was
given mo by a free sllvcrltc. The papers
commented on this , because t am a republi

woman first , and the belt was a beauty.
From St. Louis I went on to visit President
anJ Mrs. McKlnley In Canton , and while
there Mrs. McKlnley gave me a beautiful
Intpln. The papers took that up and mid
that I went to St. Louis wearing a free sll-

Ing a gold hatpin , and that that just showed
how much stability a woman politician had.
The Denver papers especially gave mo flts. "
