VIII Wolf River Water Pat out
Fire?

Fire?
EDITOR LEDGER: What do Won
think Of the Wolf river fluid as a FIRE
extinguisher2 From observation |
have come to the conclusion that it is
highly inAammable and dishonest as it
appears in contest to always take the
side OF the fire against the
insurance companies. II you
were present at the Lowenstein blaze
you saw oceans Of water poured upon
it with seemingly no effect, and the
fire quit only when there was nothing
left in the house to burn. You re-
member that the fire on Shelby street
lasted about two and half months,
and during that time several vigorous
efforts were made by the engines and
Wolf river to extinguish it but as often
failed; in fact certain official high in
position and physique told the under.
signed who had gone to him to make
complaint, that if | knew Of any way
to put the fire out to say so and il
should be done, that water only made
it worse. so the FIRE went on till we
had a rainfall Of pure water and then
it quickly died, doubtless pleased ia
have some sensible and natural reason
for doing so. Now ask the question
What do you think of Wolf river
water as FIRE extinguisher ?" because
| know that you drink more water
than anything else; you are a scientific
water man and know all about it.
