Mr.. G. Fl. Brigg. stockily built Englishmnp,
sat at a table loaded with diagrams in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel last night and chatted

would bring about a scientific revolution In
the drawing Of loaded vehicles OF all kinds.
Mr. BriEg said that tho present system OF

Tho change he proposes is to harness the

RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRES.

Than incompetent Builders.

Careless OcctiIiints Oftener to Blame
Than incompetent Builders.
If Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, writes
Barr Terree In the current number OF
the Engineering Magazine, has read all
the comments, sermons discourses, sug.
gestions, mountains OF advice, reams of
wisdom. and worlds OF foolishness which
have been poured forth on himself and
n long-suffering public anent the burning
OF his cottage at Newport, he not only
now knows more about fires In dwellings
than any other person living, but doubt
less wishes fervently that he did not
know so much. II is seldom that a Arc
in q dwelling attracts so wide attention
as Mr.. Vanderbilt's did. yet every day
greater calamaties are happening In all
our great cities to people much less abb
than he to afford the loss. Whether the
fre In Mr.. Vanderbilt's cottage actually
arose from a defective fue or not, there
can be little question but that many do
mestic fires, and many fires not domestic,
have their origin In u carelessness little
short Of criminal. Just at this time the
cities Of Milwaukee and Brooklyn are
suffering from an abnormal number of
fires. Warehouses;, factories dwellings
almost every grade OF building, have sur
fered lately and so numerously as toI
direct the attention Of insurance men tol
them, with the result OF a considerable
increase In rates. All manner of excusesI
have been put forth Fire fiends. badly
equipped fire department, improper con-
s.rlction have come in for their share of
the blame. Doubtless all are.responsible
in a measure, yet It seems one OF theI
strangcst things In the world to fasten
the responsibility OF number of fires iaI
any one city upon Its fire department, bel
Its equipment ever so bad or out of date.
a deficient fire department may help tn
seriousness of fires by not rendering
proper service or in not being provided
with adequate apparatus, but II can have
nothing to do with the number OF fires
and the builder Brooklyn's epidemic ~
n recent one, though the city is by no
means new. A more satisfactory explain
ation certainly In the instances OF domes-
tic dwellings, Is the unutterable carless-
ness with fre and flame. so long as the
house does not burn down every improper
use OF fire Is all right; the moment the
catastrophe occurs, the fault is looked
for everywhere save In the nearest place.
Cities afflicted with numerous fires hal
better issue insf Rlctions to the people on
handling them. pilar to health bulletins

their time in investigating the evil doings

vitality around the heart. except In cases
where there is heart failure. Astoria be-

be where to look for the ones most VI
tally interested. Astoria is the vitallus.
IL there is to be any life In the public
body the germ must be there.
The Astorians suggestions about how to
get roads are all good. but the first thing
needed is the disposition to make roads.
If man is disposed to be quiet a drink
Of whisky makes him stupid. but II he is
inclined to be noisy, you can't drown his
voice by pouring whisky down his throat.
So say first want to make roads, thea
take little extra stimulus. clatsop
county has been here q long time al
ready. and will continue to be here in the
future, and II system of roads is laid
out and the energies OF the people turned
TO making them good. the county will be
live place from which railroads could
not be shut off. Without roads 1t will
lie dormant in the future, as in the past,
and its few people will be praying for a
railroad to come. so that some live blood
from some live place can flow In warm to
them. 43f
There was more work done on roads
this last year than most people are aware
of. II any one takes the trouble to in
quire he will find that whole lot was
done, and when we consider the plan un-
der which 1t was done. the result Is en-
couraging. Better laws would make It
possible for all to pull together. and not
work on this Pull Pat1 pulled last"
plan.
There are other things more interest
ing to some Of your readers than roads !;
the latest prize fight for instance, but
l know for n fact that very many OF your
readers are more interested In the road
question than any other one thing. That
Is all the excuse l have for asking for
space in your paper.

Otto Bell disappearing in the East as
Christian.
Several months ago Otto Bell, timer,
abandoned his wife and family i'll this
city, ana until recently nobody here knew
what had become of him. Indeed, no
one seems to have cared very much.
Bell was a conspicuous figure in mat
tiers concerning the labor organizations,
but when it became known that he had
treated his family so shamefulIy his
former coworkers in labor matters
dropped him like a not potato.
Recently his brother, who resides in
Ohio wrote TO Mrs. Bell, informing her
OF her husbands Whereabouts, which the
brother learned from letter he had HIM
self received from the absconder.
In his letter TO his brother Bell stated
that he was masquerading under the as
sumed name OF Jacob Fisher, but did not
wish anyone here in Sacramento TO know
that fact. He also stated that he had got
religion" and at Hopkinsville, Ky, had
even spoken from the pulpit.
Mrs. Bell, it is understood does not in
tend to take any legal action to compel her
runaway husband 10 do his duty toward
his family, but steps will be taken to ac-
quaint the people whom he is now deceiv-
ing, as to his real character, SO that they
may De on their guard against him.
