THE FIRE

The usu al quiet that prevades our city
at noon tide was broken Monday, by
the onimous peal of the fire alarm.
The Standard Oil Co.'S ware house
was discovered to be on fire few min
utes before the alarm was sounded.
and by the time time the engine and
ladder truck had arrived on the scene,
the building was nearly half consumed.
The rapid spreading of the tire was due
to its having started near where the
barrels of kerosene we're.
As soon as the fire got into these it
spread with marvellous rapidity, the
building was seemingly on fire every
where and the heat was so intense that
it was impossible to approach closer
than within about 60 feet of the flames.
The rails on the stock yard side track
in front of the building were expanded
so by the heat that it was necessary
10 have them removed before the siding
could be used. There were As barrels
of kerosene, of lnseed and 2 of machine
oil, besidas $50 empty ones, in the ware
house when it burned. The total loss
is about So 90 as near as can be
estimated. The cause of the fire is
unknown, but it is thought that it
originated from spark which
probably burned its way through the
roof and falling near the barrels, started
the fire on the inside; this, however,
can not be substantiated and conse-
quently the cause of the fire is a COM
plete MYSTERY.
Charles Oshtoff, the Compapy's
agent, was in the ware house about ID
minutes before the fire occurred and
everything was apparently alright
then.
AS to what was done by the fire com
panys there is little that can be said
ANY effort on their part to have
quenched the flames would have been
useless. The engine was got to work and
water was thrown on the stock yard
fence TO prevent its catching, but as
the engine was 500 feet or more from
the fire. the strain on it proved to be
too much and a punger was broken.
1t is quite apparent that in case of fire
in the business portion of the city, that
with no other protection than we now
have, great loss of property would
result, while the owner thereof stood
helplessly by ana watched, what might
have taken years to accumulate, 90 up
in flames. The HERALD has spoken
before Of the need of adequate fire pro-
lection in the city. and although the
ware house, filled as it was with oil.
would undoubtedly have burned no
matter what manner of fire cxtin-
guisher might have been used on it, the
fact, that the engine we now possess
cannot force a stream of water 500 feet
without breaking, remains, and ought
to create a desire for something better

THE CONFERENCE. .

Yesterdays Liberal ssconferencen made
one fact pretty plain. It demonstrated that
the rank aud file OF the Liberal party got
wisdom before the chiefs and bosses be-
came enlightened. The bosses have in
sisted all along that the time had not ar
rived for dividing on party lines; that the
Liberal hosts were loyal to the organization,
aud that the party was as closely united and
as determined as ever to continue the old
fight They have been so persistent
in these things that some who didn't know
to the contrary were inclined to believe
them. The truth was developed yester-
day. Never has there been q greater
effort to get the party hosts together.
Never were tbs tricks OF the demagogue
and Snowman more adroitly played. The
press was industriously worked. Curiosity
was excited and appealed 10, IS was pat
riotism. The industrious and clever work
has been going on night and day. and we
have been told times without number that
the eagerness to attend the conference was
SO great that the managers were troubled
about providing for the accommodation of
the host, although the immense hall would
seat 1000 persons. More than that number
Of tickets had been Issued and what to do
the poor bosses did not know. They even
went SO far as to publish in advance their
apologies for the failure to take care OF the
crowd, which was to be so much larger
than they had expected SO intense was the
Liberal sentiment In the community.
And what was the result! All the
drumming brought to the Exposition hall
Wednesday afternoon less than thousand
persons, all told, and fully half of those
present were there out of pure
curiosity, having no sympathy what
ever with the Liberal party or
cause. 1t was g fiat failure, and
whilst it seemed altogether ludicrous to the
dlsinterested spectators, it was manifeslly
discouraglng to the bosses themselves. The
latter even could not get up any enthusi-
asm, so emphatic was the jolt they had re-
ceived
The story which the "conference'' told
was this: Many of the rank and file have
not waited for the party to release them;
they have seen for themselves that the
mission of the Liberal organization was at
an end, and they have left the corpse
They have divided on party lines" with
out asking or receiving the consent of the
bosses. They have seen that the only
thing left for the Liberal party 10 live for
was spoils, and as these all go to the bosses,
and furthermore there is no principle in
spoils, the men who are honest with them
selves do not want any more Liberalism.
The HERALD, which endeayors to keep in
formed as TO matters of political character
hereabouts, confesses that il did not know
that the Liberal party had dwindled to
such insignificant proportions. We thought
that much better showing would be
made. The failure is revelation to the
shrewdest observers, many of whom were
deceived by the extravaganza claims of the
desperate and now thoroughly disheart-
ened chiefs.
The end is at hand.
