that the Oregonian was cup with the
times, " but when that paper gives the
account Of the fire here such a startling
headline as "Fire at Pullman, W. T., -

the knowledge that they are vested with
all the rights of American citizens which
no fire is hot enough to extinguish.
E. Brownfeld, the man charged
with setting fire to the town, was taken

confess to nothing. He protested his
innocense, and when it was seen that
nothing could be obtained from him ha
was taken back to Jail. He was giver
an examination Monday morning, but
as there was not sufficient evidence tc
hold him he was released. He immedi
ately started out, and has not been heard
from since turned loose.

future time? How can we ask capital
lists to invest in town that has no pro
lection from the ravages Of flames? we
are blessed with an unlimited supply o.

steps toward utilizing it the fault will be
ours. Action should, and must, be ia
