The suggestions made by the Chief of the
Fire Department do not seem 10 be un-
reasonable. The demand has been made
for an efficient department and that cannot
be obtained unless the men are paid q far
rate OF wages. The improved appliances
for protection of property and the suppress
sion OF ERE require greater skill and exper-
fence than the old hand fire-engine; and
men trained for the work cannot be
obtained for less than $50 a month.
The object OF the Department for some
time has been to get the most it could for
the least expenditure. because it was
placed between the urgent necessity of
having men and the equally pressing
necessity Of keeping within the city's re-
stricted means.
There is no branch OF the city govern
ment which win receive more liberal treat
ment than the fire department provided
always that the result is q corps of ex-
perienced and well disciplined men who
will add to bravery and promptness. such
personal good conduct as will reflect credit
upon the city.

WIPED OUT BY FIRE.
Wallace, Idaho, in the
CGur d. Alene District
Entirely Destroyed.
Disastrous Tornado in Law
renee Mass, with Loss of
Life and Property.

SPOKANE FALLS. WASH, Special Telegram,
July N.--News has been received here that
the town of Wallace Idaho, tho great
mining camp of the Ceur d'Alenes, was
completely destroyed by fire tonight. The
Union Pacific train dispatcher at Tekoa,
WASH, received word from the Western
Union operator at Wallace that the town
was doomed, and that his office, which was
in the Union Pacific depot at the lower end
of town, was becoming too hot to work in
longer, that he would be compelled to re-
move his instruments to cooler place at
once. The fire started at what was Shorty
Denver's saloon, 3 resort in the upper end of
the town, and, as the Union Pacific depot
is at the other extremity, it is supposed
that the entire town was swept away. This
conjecture was confirmed by the report at
p. M. from Tekoa that nothing further had
been heard by the Tekoa dispatcher from
the Wallace operator.
At 10 p. III. it was learned definitely
through an official of the Union Pacific that
the entire town was gone, with the excep-
ton of the two railroad depots. The wires
are all down and further particulars are un-
obtainable. The loss is thought by Spokane
business men who are interested in the
town to be lully $500, 900. if not more.
THE TOWN OF WALLACE
is situated ITO miles southeast of Spokane,
in a deep canyon i'll spur of the Rockies,
and is one of the most tlourishing mining
camps in the United States, no less than a
dozen fourishing mines being tributary,
among them being the famous Morning
and Evening mines. At 1915 p. m. special
from Tekoa to the Review was received as
follows
Through the operator at Gardner it has been
ascertained that the fire started in the Central
hotel and burned north and east over the entire
business part of the town. 1t was also rumored
that the Union and Northern Pacific depots
with cars on the side tracks were burned. This
cannot be confirmed tonight. The following
leading houses have burned Holly, Mason,
Marks G Co., the postoftice building, the Heller
house, White & Benders general store. McElroy
& Vedder, McNabb & Livers, the telephone ex-
change, Bank of Wallace, Joseph Carbon, J. C.
McCurdy, Carter house, Club theater and more,
with score of saloons, restaurants, offices, etc.
A private dispatch says the town is cn-
tirely destroyed and fifteen hundred people
are homeless. A private dispatch to the
editor of the Review says every business
house is burned-no exceptions.
