why don't you agitate the estatls

asked citizen, as he dropped into THE
ARGUS office this afternoon. There is
always more orless destruction of proper
ty,of course, in fires of any importance,
in consequence of the use of water That
can't be helped where it is
necessary to throw water at all,
and despite the promptness
OF the tremen in responding there will
occur fires which get SO much OF head
way before the frsmen arrive that it IS
impossible to subdue the flames until the
building is flooded This will happen in
the best regulated departments. II hap
pens in the largest cities, and while CUR
facilities are to be so greatly improved as
to lessen the chances for loss. either by
IRE or water, yet, as have said before,
there will be times when the fend of de-
struction will get in his work. But as to the
point l made when came in here. The
fact that we are to have discipline and
reliability in our fire system, lends en-.
coursgement 10 our efforts to protect our
property. Heretofore the discovery of
fire on your premises was practically
SYNONYMOUS with the foregore conclusion
that you were gone up, for if the fire
didn't co the work the indlscriminate use
OF water did. As result, hope fed in
despair when the fire appeared. Now
things are to be different and the man
who sees his residence or place of bust
ness on fire is not without hope"
Therefore l sag it would be a good
plan 10 organize citizens salvage patrol.
not to save the buildings, but to
protect personal property, such as house
hold furniture IN the house, merchandise
IN the store, or books, etc, in the office
In city no larger than Rock Island
which l have in mind they have such an
organ cation. The business men con-
tribute to fund which establishes the
salvage patrol. One of the members is
elected captain and he chooses his subordi
mates. They have house equipped with
q wagon and horse and hire one man al
ways on duty. The wagon is built fer
the purpose and is furnished with water
and fire proof material for spreading
over furniture, ETC., When an
alarm of fire sounds the driver gets there
with his wagon as soon as the fire depart
ment does, for he has an electric alarm in
his house. The members of the organi.
cation respond from wherever they hap
pen to be. They don't fight the fire, but
while the firemen are doing that they
save property. If it is a bad fire they
carry out what they can; if not they
simply cover the best of it aud it is pro-
tected. 1t is an excellent idea and in the
city mention the best class of business
men in the town belong to it. 1t reduces the
liability to loss, and is lust such an ar
rsngement as the insurance COMPANIES
themselves provide in the larger cities
l have no doubt, therefore, that the in.
surance companies would contribute to
the expense here"
