Pine Ridge Fire THE fire at Pine Ridge "HE fire at Pine Ridge I worst conflagrations in ty. It destroyed an extensive lumbering operation, and it left hundreds homeless and jobless, which is worse. There is no bright side to the story, except that no one was even seriously injured in the efforts that were made to stop the onslaught of flame, and that it was stopped short of doing other damage which was threatened. On every such occasion there are those who rise to the demands of the moment rnvp nil thov harl in the hot. relentless flames Saturday eveninir. Assistance was sriven in the removal of household possessions as it became inevitable that the fire would sweepthe dwellings in the mill town. On all sides hospitality was offered those who found themselves with no homes. Informed of the fire Saturday evening, the local of ficials of the American Red Cross were quick to respond. George Walton, secretary of the Klamath county chapter, and Harlan Bosworth, the disaster committee chairman, went forthwith to the scene and in business-like manner worked out what immediate relief was necessary. The Red Cross and the Salvation Army moved to provide food and bedding for those needing them. The activities of the Red Cross disaster committee are worthy of especial attention. Each year when the Red Cross roll call is on, Klamath people are reminded of the disaster work of the Red Cross in time of emergency. Not often, however, is there an emergency in our own com munity which requires that sort of work here. But when it does arise, the local chapter is prepared and willing, and it showed Saturday night that it can do an effective job of disaster work. On the sordid side of the picture was the thievery that occurred at the scene of the fire. It was reported 'at Pine Ridge Sunday that a number of people had lost belongings which had been hurriedly moved into the open ahead of the flames. It' is to be hoped that these things were merely misplaced in the confusion. If there was looting, and it seems there probably was a little of it, it is unfortunate those responsible were not caught and punished. In the news coverage of the fire, an interesting in cident occurred that makes a story worth recounting. A. H. Sullivan of Chiloquin and Pine Ridge is the cor respondent there of The Herald and News. Mr. Sul livan's first duty, of course, was to the protection of his home the S. P. house which was spared by the flames. But Mr. Sullivan did not forget his newspaper connections. He called The Herald and News office and, from the vantage point of his upstairs window, described the fire in graphic detail over the wire. Explosions, flames shooting from .the mill and town buildings, the spread of the fire into the forest all of these were described as they occurred. Mr. Sullivan is a railroad man who does newspaper work as a mere side issue, but his opportuni ties Saturday in the journalistic field were greater than have come to many an old-time newspaperman. He dis charged them in worthy fashion.

V,T 111 THB IyI By RmjlMallon Mr. Mallon Is taking a variation from news by writing purely per sonal News Behind ihe News for a two weeks period, WfASM.Nl.TO.W Aug. 21 1 " like Roosevelt, It I were looking for a companion (or a long atay in darkest Africa or the north pole, or even a fishing trip for a week, I would rather have Mr. Roosevelt than anyone I know. But he Is not among the men I would think of, if I were look tag for an executor of my estate. I would prefer some one else to run my business in my absence. Not that there could possibly ho anyone more trustworthy personally, but solely because I think he has the most unusual idea of money and values of anyone 1 know. I cannot understand exactly what this idea of his basically Is. i have been perplexed trying to J 8,u.re, .... Jt?tTn lhuk. that he never made a dollar the hard way. But again I know it is raoro than that. Ho has respect for a dollar, more respect than most people. He handles his own money with care, lie has been saving much of his salary since he has been president and he has in vested most of it in real estate I . X" somchow lw think he looks on a dollar bill as piece of paper rather than a note for somebody's labor or ten loaves of bread ... or 20 pounds of guitar. He seems to me to look on a dollar as Just something to spend to make hiins-lf or some one else happy or comfortable. I think his heart must be larg er than his head. HIS BACKGROUND 1 have often seen it written that he got that way oeing a rich man's son, but I do not believe he was a rich man's son in the way that term is commonly used. His father had a large landed estate, true. He went to the best schools. He traveled extensively. But he never had the money his next door neighbors always had, not the kind of money that the Vanderbilts, the Astors, Ogden Mills, and those near him in Duchess county had. He could not have the kind of yachts, the kind of automobiles, clothes, trips that these others had. I think you will see this it you will read Mrs. Roosevelt's biography carefully. and also Emll Ludwlg's book on him, but I think Ludwlg missed him entire ly. To me Mr. Roosevelt has been the poor little rich boy . , . And that explains a lot. From it springs his distrust of rich people in the first instance, I believe. From this probably came the apparent desire of the whole Roosevelt family to make money, as much as possible, as fast as possible, and at the same time to soak the rich. I do not believe be is against the rich because it is the political thing to do (although of course it is) or because it is the econ omic thing to do (which I be lieve is questionable.) If this is not a clear analysis of his philosophy on values, riches and money, it is because I have never read anything he ever wrote or said that ever establish ed his basic conception of it. Mr. Roosevelt has many unique superior characteristics which will endear him to history, but I al ways think of one. The first time I came in con tact with Roosevelt was at the Madison Kquare garden con vention of 11)24. ile was Ai Smith's floor mannger, chair man of the New l'ork delega tion. I was a young reporter getting started, a Irg man gathering pews from the floor. He will not remember it but I NOW PLAYINGI 10VE WRITES ITS MASTERPIECE ...ai Iht aoit txcltinf toaunct al hat annul ilium tarn tat rm!

Sunday and Monday, Sep tember 3, 3 and 4. The spirit of Lake county will be symbolized in the bronc bust ing, trick riding, calf roping and other contests which are sched uled for the three days of the arena show. As long as there have been ranches In Lake coun ty thero has been some kind of a round-up. To the cowboys who make it their daily work the round-up still means the spring . the fall when branding Is the main detail which demands attention, but when the big Lakeview Round-up opens the doors of Lakeview wide to Its visitors among the first arrivals are the boys from the ranches. The old latchstring of hospitality will not forget it. In all my dealings with political men, 1 havo never known one who was kinder or more patient with a cub he did not know. Ho an swered questions with full frankness; he did not try to mislead; he would repeat when I did not understand. This openness of mind and pur pose was always the quality for wnicn I admired Mr. Roosevelt most. He has lost a lot of It since he came to the White House. He had to, with sharp political critics ready to pounce on every word ho uttered. But with all these in creasing exceptions, I think it is still his greatest characteristic.
