LUCKY ESCAPE.

Enday morning, as parties were going
% The train Are was discovered in the
Hand County Elevator. The alarm was
rr0mptly given and hose was soon
attached to the artesian we'll and after
considerable work the fire put out.
The driveway and southwest corner of
the elevator was burned, perhaps
amounting to about $3.50 damages. The
elevator was full OF wheat, about 500
OF which run out Gu the ground to be
burned or more or less damaged. 1t is
said there was evidence of kerosene hay
ing been spread about the building
which proves it to have been the work
OF aL incendilry, but so far no clue
has been found as to the person or the
motiye.
The elevator is owned by Yetzer & Hill,
and is under lease to Van Dusen & Co.
There was some 10, COO Bushels of wheat
stored in it belonging to farmers Of Hand
County, and as much more owned by
Van Dusen & Co. This seems to have
been one OF those particularly fortunate
instances in which the destroyer's hand
is interfered with by an invisible power,
and the town enjoys lucky escape
from big fire. Had the fire remained
undiscovered a few moments longer, the
big elevator two or three more closely
connected with it, and prehaps portion
of the town would have gone up in
smoke. Prompt action and convenience
of the Miller artesian we'll in this one
instance saved many times the cost of
we'll and waterworks. strong wind
was blowing from the SOUTH and had the
fire continued the entire west side OF
town may have burned up.
One of the things discovered 10y this
FIRE will be unwelcome news to the
citizens and property owners of Miller
who have felt secure in good protection
ada that is the fact that the pressure at
the@ell is greatly reduced even when all
turned on, ana i; is only a question of
q short time when we will no longer have
any fire protection II the well is not re-
paired As the leak grows the power must
lessen. until soon our magnificent water
works will not throw a sufficient stream
OF water to put out any kind of fire
which means no protection and high
INSURANCE. Now with this evidence be-
fore us is it not time to act? Can We
afford to idly sit down and let this we'll
become worthless when it can save its
cost many times just as it did Friday
morning? The citizens Of Miller should
get together and FIND WAY if none ex-
lists TO place this valuable property in its
proper condition. Let the people come
together with a determination to do some
. ching, lay aside personal interests if need
be for the general good. entertain only

OF INTEREST TO ALL.

The artesian well question is one of
considerable interest to every citizen Of
Miller, Miller township and Hand Co.
We have here one OF the very best wells
In the state. 1t has been q God send to
the town in several cases Of fire, and the
Pass believes it has been largely the
means of keeping this town up while
others went down. There is and has
been for some time a bad leak IN the well
tubing, which Will grow worse, unless
steps are taken to repair it. The town
is already bonded to It's fullest extent so
that the citizens of the town can not
adopt that method Of raising funds to
secure the needed repairs.
There is nothing in the county of such
general use as this we'll. The town can
scarcely get along without it, The farmers
and stockman of this and neighbor-
ing townships have been benefited by
haying water for their stock either at the
well or along the stream into which the
water is turned.
One Florence far mer told q reporter
recently that he had TO pay cts 20 water
hts team in Miller in the early days be-
fore the artesian well spouted, and that
he had ii in for the town for some time
therefor, and il ia common thing
among farmers when they are coming to
t0wn TO wait until they reach the well
trough to water their horses. The artes-
Ian well at Miller with all its uses and
benefits to the people is as valuable as
the building that sets on the court
square.
II is the duty and obligation Of every
nitizen to use his best energies towards
wing this yalueable property for the
Npmmunity's good.
