HkD ElRE,

About 4:3O O'clock on Tuesday
afternoon smoke was discovered
Issuing from the cupOla of the Inter
State Grain Companies Elevator,
known in town and county as "the
lower Elevator. Soon the flames
followed the smoke. and the fire bell
was rung. From some cause the
work of getting the water on was
very slow, but the fremen done all
that could have been done, by saving
all surrounding property, which they
did by their superhuman efforts.
The Wstrous Engine hes saved the
village Onee more from dlstcucGisn.
From the time the water was FIRST
turned on. IL threw three steady
streams, until the fire was Subdusd.
One stream paid particular attention
to the Depot, which stood in the
greatest danger. The Elevator was
burned to the ground along with
about 5000 bushels wheat and one
carload of flax. The cause OF the Are
cannot be discovered, and whether is
started above. or below and followed
the Elevator spout Ia only conjecture.
Ole Lee. the manager, and John
Spooner his assistant. were working
in the lower part. and could not tell
where the smoke came from. when
IL began to 6ll the room. The wind
was strong. and the citizens very
much excited.

The village OF Norris il much ex.
cited over the proposition to grant o
franchise TO some Of its citizens for
water works and electric light plant.
It is just as well to display caution
in accepting any such propositions,
and 10 thoroughly examine the fran
chise and see that the village retains
equal rights with those TO whom such
privileges are granted. 1t is too
frequently the case that franchises
are granted heedlessly, and after
they are in operation serious defects
are seen which places the manage
ment of these important institutions
beyond the control of the town. But
the day of franchises has about pass.
ed In this country, and instead Of
giving away ,Ihess valuable privileges
to the first person Who asks for them,
towns arr now more, Frequently put
ing in their own wstsr. gas or cleo.
trio plants. Where competent,
honest, progressive men are chosen
to do this business Of ths town these
enterprises can be and are made
paying investments, and thus the
cost to the public Is much reduced
