A Fire No Water.

A fire broke out yesterday afternoon.
about O'Clock, in Mexican cottage,
near the corner OF South Concho and
Durango streets. There was no fire
hydrant near that could be called into
service, but the blaze was extinguished
by man grabbing up n blanket and
slop bucket and climbing upon the roof
smothered the same before 1t had good
start. Had the fire broke out at night
the home OF this poor man, who is an
honest, straight Democratic voter,
would have been entirely DESTROYED, and
very likely the whole block would have
burned. as the nearest fire hydrant Is

WORMS ON THE MARCH.
Hard Labor Wasted by the Lazi-
ness of Neighb0rs.

SALT LAKE CITY. May 10th, 1885.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
During the past few weeks some OF
my neighbors and / have been keeping
a strict watch upon our fruit trees and
carefully destroying the caterpillars we
found upon them. By dint of perse-
yerance with pruning shears and fires
we have succeeded in keeping our trees
almost free from the ravages OF these
troublesome pests. Just across the
street from US, however, is large
devastated by them, and to all ap-
pearance, no effort has been made to
destroy a single worm To-day, when
the sun was shining bright and warm,
the worms began to leave the already
stripped trees by thousands and to
commence a migration from the orchard
across the street towards our gardens.
The fence of the orchard referred to
appeared to be living mass of cater
pillars, and one could scarcely count
them as they crawled across the road.
After crossing the street they were con-
fronted by stream of water running in
the ditch, and here they were gathered
again in masses, making desper-
ate efforts to cross the stream.
In one or two instances it was noticed
that they were crossing by bits of sticks
or weeds which bridged the water over
and observing this we were not long in
clearing the ditch of any such aids of
their wandering propensities. Many of
them fell into the water and were car
ried away by the strength of the current,
but it was remarked that they were too
light to drown, and many one being
washed to the side of the ditch again
was soon clambering oHt apparently
none the worse for the accident that had
befallen it.
What we are afraid of is that all our
labors will now avail us nothing, and
we are really ashamed to think that
nothing has been done to promote or
enforce concerted action towards rid
ding our city of the plague now visiting
it. Mr.. Editor whose duty IS 1t to origi-
nate such a movement? We really
cannot divest our minds of the idea that
our city fathers should have done some
thing with a view to eradicating the
evil. Something should be done to
second the efforts OF those who have
already fought the pests so strenuously,
and such people are very numerous in
the city This year. As it is, the results
they obtain do not amount to much in
the absence of e compulsory ordinance
On the subject.
