Last Saturday six fire MOBILES were turn
ed on, attached to as many different hy-
drants, south OF Douglas avenue, and run
for two hours and five minutes. The pipe
for the river iire-conneetion, having been
made of light galvanized iron, the weight
of the earth crushed it, materially lesson
ing the flow, but that has been replaced
with little trouble. Now, if the boiler oil
steam capacity is sufficient, six fire streams
could be furnished Tor any length of time.
The time has about come when hired

youngsters run naked. Here mother, il

mond-eycd dish rag floppers from tn
Orient. We speak for the hundreds o
overworked mothers of Wichita.

7 Enclosed please find two dollars for tn
EAGLE the coming year, beginning witt
the issue containing report of the Fourtl
: of July celebration, which suppose was
grander affair than the one we, (the oil
) settlers) had thirteen years ago. But you
citizens of to-day can have no more patri
, otto enthusiasts than were then gathered T.
celebrate the day, and encourage each 9th
) err as they gathered at the tables NIGEL
. laid. They had faith in the grand sur
roundings and l suppose their hopes ar
more than realized. /, for one, have rea
! the EAGLE from its first issue, and am sti
} confident that it best represents the Happ
Valley, SO please excuse the compliment in
troduced in business letter, and forwar
the bird just the same.
