BUILDING IS CROWDED. There were 250 men and women In the building when the fire broke out. Of these It Is believed about 200 escaped without In jury.Tho 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 iflre. lly the tlmo the lire had broken through the first floor enioko niled the hall ways. Dooley and his companions realized thai there was no tlmo to Icso and they began kicking In tha , iloojp oft the rooms. The ' men thoughtfully 'awakened the women first. first.Tho The alarm had been turned In and the de partment responded promptly. Whera the 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 ono saved anything but what they had on at the- time ot the flro. This made It 1m posMblo to obta'u a full list ot many who were slightly hurt. The night was bitterly cold , the thcr mometer registering 0 degrees below zero. As long as there appeared any chance o people being In the building the firemen do vptcd themselves to saving human life. I was only after there was no further chance to do this that they began work on the fire in earnest. The flro had gained * such head way that two houra after It began the walls had fallen. It lo possible some ot the missing men may turn up yet. Early In the day the Hst'of the supposed ! dead rauup as high as fifty. Thl : was because many-of the men who eacapc ( did not report for work at the mines. Llttl by little , however , the list decreased as men reported , until twenty known lodgers won unaccounted for. " It Is possible , however that a number of transient roomers who an iiot well known may bo dead In the ruins Only an examination will fettle that poln and this cannot bo made until the ruins coo off. off.Tho The Halo house belonged to the Anaconda company. It was built In 1S95 at a cost o $70,000 and with the furniture and belong Ings of the lodgers the Ices will reach fully $100.000. Cntllc Owner * .Hunt Pay TnxcM. HISMARCIC. N. D. , iMarch 21.

( Special. ) 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. IMU'OKT OP A UKVOI/l'IXa CHIME. T vc > Men Trent 11 Third la Drntal Milliner.

Report * presented by SUE HOLDS A STATE OFFICE Wyoming's Woman Official Attracts Attention in Now York. MISS ESTELLE flEEL AND HER WORK IntrrmtlnB Clint with fiotlimn He- liortcriVh < > IJInccMor She In Neither "Wllil Xor tt'nutl- . 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- fragtste. fragtste.A 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.
