the grand army Of the republic was n
great success. Il was emineutly pa

Grafton was delivered by Hon. Henry
Edgertoa. and was one Of the most dis
passionate and patriotic Of speeches,
being applauded alike by both Demo
crat. and Republicans. No part Of the
long programme Of the exercises was
in the slightest degree Of character
to awaken partisan feeling. A grand
ball closed the entertainment which has
done much to promote cordial good
feeling among men Of both parties

solving the difficulties of the street

THE LESSONS OF THE FIRE

@Forewarned, fsrcartued." is an old
maxim Of admitted soundncss 1t has
long besn matter Of wonder 10 old
residents OF Puget Sound that an almost
entirely wooden, close-built town like
Seattle should have existed for so many
years without any fires worth mention
ing. Warnings have multiplied within
the past two or three years. Alarms have
been frequent. but there has not been a
c,esn sweep Of NOR than sbanty within
the city limits since the Indian attack,
twenty ono years ago. until tho holo-
caust on the hill last Wednesday night.
Tie city can felicitate itself on lucky
escape on that occasion. But for tue
fact Of its occurring in the dampest OF
the rainy season, that mist was
falling at the time, aud no wind blow
ing, and that the building stood almost
alone in the block, it is incredible that
the city could have escaped wide
spread conasgration As it was, the
burning clnders were borne in showers
over many hui ll"gs in the vicinity and
in the dry ST. try they would have been

roofs.
Though it WASH slow and toilsomc
task for. the Impractical fire brigade to
drag the heavy engine mp the steep and
unpaved ascent, yet the fire could then
have been put out bad there been an
adequate supply of water at hand.
But in this respect our great and over
grown town is deficient. In the great,
or exigenicies of this kin.l, to which we
are liable in the future, we must have
better public supply of water, better
graded and paved streets, and another
engine or two. A single one is not
enough. There should also be hook ard
ladder apparatus, plenty Of hose, and
aS5sfh isak e hs ss bushes: s

rsngements. and know how to make

stsntly in reach, aud take every prac-
ticable precaution for preventing and

fifteen thousand dollars may he followed
by the loss Of scores of buildings and
hundreds Of thousands Of value.
