SINCE the fire it has been often re
marked that the services of the intelli-
gent and courageous Gaugh Fairman
would have been of incalculable value in
that desperate battle against the flames.
1t is the belief Of all acquainted with
the circumstances of his death that it
was traceable directly to exposure while
assisting the firemen during the Seattle
contlagration. He recognized the de-
vouring element as his natural enemy,
and studied its vulnerable points, as a
general does the opposing forces in the
field. When Seattle and Spokane Falls
shall have arisen again they might with
great propriety unite in contributing
some lasting testimonial in commemo-
ration of his services as fireman.

A TRANSFERS TRUST,

Notice is given to-day by teamsters
owning one hundred teams that an ad-
vance of one dollar a day for the service
making excavations, removing debris
and performing other necessary work,
very many teams will be required.
Heretofore the wages paid to tearnsters
for themselves and teams have been re-
garded rs Il fair and proper compen-
sation for such services and have been
willingly accepted us such. 1t is great
mistake on the part of teamsters 10 take
advantage of the present situation to
advance the price. Nothing could be
attempted that would SO effect
ually kill enterprise and thus
defeat the best interests of all classes of
citizens-the interests of teamsters along
with the rest. Our people want to re-
build. Many buildings are projected and
many others will be projected and built
if all classes pull together, A good be-
ginning ought to be made during the re-
mainder Of this summer and the coming
fall in the work of rebuilding the burned
district. This will fail, however, or the
work will at least be seriously checked,
if the price of labor is advanced and the
men who furnish the material, such as
brick, lumber lime and sand, shall be
so short-sighted as to band themselves
together for the purpose of making OK
tortionate demands. The prices that
were good enough before the fire are
certainly good enough now.
Spokane Falls is noted far and wide
for her public spirit, but an attempt to
carry out this purpose Of adding to
prices in the present emergency would
do more than anything else to show that
this claim of public spirit rests ON fic-
titious or false foundation. 1t Is the
duty of every citizen to enter a protest
against so narrow policy. 1t is to be
hoped tn at the teamsters who are NOV
ing In this matter will reconsider their
action and that other workmcn, as well
as those to whom our builders must look
for materials, will not initiate an attempt
which will certainly be most injurious ia
the city. II is a critical time for expert
ments of that kind and unless teamsters
wish to incur the risk of unnecessarily
bringing "hard times" upon themselves
and other classes of workmen In Spo-
kane Falls during this winter they
should allow enterprises here to move
on as they have started out. Thi swill be
better for them in the long run than to
secure an advance in the manner pro-
posed.

THE excellent police system establish.
ed since the fire has prevented the loss
of property 10 an unexpected extent.
Thieving was of course expected, but so
little has been stolen that we have rea-
son for congratulating ourselves on the
smallness of the losses, and the police
and militia on their efficient watchful,
ness and promptness in arresting suspi-
cious characters and professional crooks.
1t has been remarked, however, that the
temporary rebuilding Of the business
section with canvas viii offer new and
extraordinary inducements to thieves
and burglars, unless even extra watch
fulness should be observed by the police
or other means adopted to have the va
rious stores completely guarded. The
former is scarcely possible unless tho
police force should be largely increased,
which is not at all likely and an oppor.
tunity is therefore presented for the or
gani2ation Of an efficient force of private
watchmen.

The REVIEW heartily endorses these

qualifications as an educator and should

him for the office of superintendent his
fellow-citizens of this section would

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

The insurance companies have been
startled by the several great fires in this
territory and at a meeting held few
days ago IL was resolved to withdraw all
Of their business from this region unless
Seattle, Spokane Falls and other towns
and cities make better provision for
contending against fires.
Spokane Falls has started out right
and 1t now remains for the citizens in
tercsted TO press on in the same direc-
ton. The fire limits have been extend
cd and will be rigidly adhered to; but
the builders of new buildings may neg
ative this action if they have mind to
by putting up brick structures that will
be as dangerous as those made of wood,
If not more 10. We need stringent
building law and individual citizens
should realize the importance of max
ing each structure as nearly fire proof as
modern appliances can make it.
Brick and stone buildings will add
wonderfully TO the safety of the city
proper precautions are taken at this
time 1t is by no one assumed that abb
solutely fire.proof buildings are practic-
able. The best that can be expected is
to reduce the risk of conflagration and
apply to each building the principles OF
slow'burning construction. Among
other precautions included in these prin-
ciples is to provide for closing all open
ings that lead from floor to floor, thus
preventing draft for the flames. An
other prccaution Is to dcadcn all floors
with mortar, to the end that fire may
not be drawn along between the joists.
Another precaution is to provide solid
bridging in all partition walls, thus also
cutting OIL the draft. Wire lathing is
coming into very general use and is so
far superior to wooden laths that any
extra expense Is but trifling considera-
tion when the safety of the building Is
at stake. There should be as fow COM
cealed spaces as possible and all finish
in storage rooms should be omitted.
Fire doors and window shutters
composed Of wood should be covered
with tin and roofing, and cornice should
be made of indcstructable materials.
Fire walls should be placed not more
than fifty feet apart and as little wood
used in each building as possible.
The insurance companies represented
at the meeting the other day were unan-
iinous in the resolution to withdraw
from business in the territory unless
precautions are taken by the citizens to
protect them against great confagra-
tions. Unless we want to place our
selves outside the realm of insurance
protection to our business interests we
must now promptly take steps to protect
insurance companies from such disasters
as they have encountered within the
past year. The companies have agreed
10 give one months notice and note re-
suits. This matter of very
great importance to this city
and there should be no delay in the
manifestation of our determination to
afford better protection against the de-
stroying clements. The withdrawal OF
the insurance companies wonld be a
disaster at any time and especially at
the present, as it would drive away
capital of which we stand in need The
council cannot be too prompt in acting
in this matter, and it Is subject the
board of trade might perhaps profitably
consider and express itself in regard to.

STATE LANDS.
What Some OF the Delegates Think
About Them.

Section / of the majority report on
state lands was taken up and read.
SchooIcy offered an amendment but
Withdrew 1t after a motion to take up
the harDor committees report first.
Dunbar suggested and Turner moved
that the haroor committee report be
taken up first,
Cosgrove could not understand how
the harbor committees report would
effect the state lands report. He didn't
much care which was taken up first, but
wouldn't give even "a quiet assent to
what he didn't believe in.
Durie said there were two distinct
classes of lands--tide lands and school
lands Ifthe tide lands are taken up
first, then the harbor com mittee' report
should be first considered.
Warren favored taking the hnrbor com.
mittec's report first. That course was
ordered.
Cosgrove advocated his amendment,
and favored giving the commission some
power besides telling them just wtiat to
do, or else employ simply civil engin-
eer and save all other expenses.
Durie believed that commerce would
eventually require all the flats in front
of cities to be occupied to II twenty four
foot depth, no matter how far out 1t was
1.-The further out the better, inasmuch as
II gave more level land for business pur-
poses.
Stiles objected TO this twenty -four foot
limit; he did not expect the state would
put q barrier across an harhor, but as in
the case of Olympia, this 200 TO COO foot
strip was all that was to be reserved for
state control, and that was away out in
the sound nearly q mile, where nobody
wanted to go. He believed the greater
part of the commerce of the sound was
done by vessels drawing not over six or
seven feet of water, and they were to be
considered.
Convey presented an amendment,
striking out the first two sentences and
merely giving the legislature power to
establish harbor lines in certain places
and under certain conditions. Carried.
Comegys moved that the committee
rise and report progress. So voted.
The president resumed the chair and
McReavy reported progress, andlleave to
sit again was granted.
Cosgrove was granted leave of absence
or the afternoon. On motion of Dyer
the convention adjourned.
