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.

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

Twentieth Annual Round-up, Sat

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.
