Protection against Fire.

MIR. EDITOR ALLOW me through
the only means we have Of reaching
the public, D. e. the Aodldnche, to call
attention to a matter which every citi-
zen of our growing town will at once
concede to be one of growing import
ance, and which cannot with prudence
be longer postponed. refer to the
want of any and every kind of protec-
ton against the spread of fire. For a
wooden back woods town we are re-
markably exempt, only four fires of
any magnitude having occurred. The
old Crawling House four years ago ;the
two across the river and the photo
graph gallery; with three incipient bla-
yes which we're fortunately extinguish-
ed, viz: at the Eating House, Crawling
Hospital and the School-house Thus
we zee that five out of the six occurred
within the past eighteen months. Prob
ably very few of our citizens realize
that we now have over $50 buildings
in which fire is liable to occur at any
tiHIe; and over so in any one of which
should fire occur a large part of the
business portion of the town would al
most surely be involved. Yet such is
the fact Should fire occur in any
one of the business blocks fronting on
Michigan Avenue, we might as we'll
p 1t our hands in our pockets and look
quietly on while destruction went from
one end of the square to the other.
so far as we have any means of either
extinguishing or limiting its spread.
An extension or duplication of the
system of water works adopted at Sal
ling, Hanson e. Cos. mill would no
doubt be our best and cheapest protec-
tioti for some years. But we probably
could not get such a syst IN in opera
tion until another year at least. But
just now while every one is forcing
their stoves for all they are worth, the
dangers are very much increassd; and.
on the theory that any thing is good
deal better than nothing, | would sug-
grst that steps b. taken to organize
Hook and Ladder Company. which
could be done at cost not to exceed
10000. Fifteen or twenty men under
the control and subject to the orders of
n cool, fearless. Intelligent leader, thus
would be IA tremendous pow
er for the prevention of the spread of
fire. And no matter what form of fire
protection we may ultimately adopt.
this will always form a very important
adjunct thereto. This we can aud
ought to do immediately, or shall we
wait until we have another fire that
will destroy at least ten times the
that this would cost2 Very
likely we will. GRUMBLER.

The attention of our citizens is es-
pecially directed to "A communication
signed, Grumbler, regarding ''protec-
ton against fire." 1t would be we'll II
some action was taken at once. 1t is
rather late in the day to lock the sta
BILE after the horse is stolen. There
seems to be as much apathy against
taking any measures looking to pro-
lection against fire at present, as there
is against protection against the con-
