Fire Department. System-Hotel Az
rivals.
REDoNDo. March 31.-Ths- oisissns of
this place, shortly after the destructive
fra OF last May. have had under consd-
GRAFTON the purchase and equipment of
suitable apparatus for extinguishing
fires. Some months ego they held an
election and voted bonds for that pur-
pose to the amount OF $4,000, but no def
mite action had been taken by the town
council up to this evening, when meet
ing of citizens was called at English g
hall for the purpose of having O general
expression OF sentiment with references
to what kind OF a fire department they
should have.
Public sentiment was almost equally
divided upon the question OF whether
frssh or salt water should bs used for
this purpose. The advocates OF the
fresh water system claimed that the
pipes were already laid through tbs
principal part of the town, and there
lore the towpsite company would be
able to iuEnish the water cheaper than
any salt water organization could hope
to do it. They favored likewise hand
engine, which could be purchased
cheaply, for uae on the hill back of
town.
The salt water faction claimed there
WAS no need OF any hand or ateam
engine in the matter. All that was
needed was big steam pump capable
of throwing a 4.inch stream on top OF
the bluff into a reservoir, from which
1t could be supplied by grayitation oil
over the business portion OF the town.
So the meeting organized by the cleo
tion OF Robert Fl. Thompson as presi-
dent and Mr.. Anderson as secretary.
Speeches were made on both aides OF
the proposition, and Mr.. George w.
Lynch announced that he would apply
to the town council at its meeting on
April I'd, for contract to supply the
town with salt water for aprinkling and
fire purposes. After lengthy discus-
sion OF the case, Mr.. English offered
resolution to the effect that commit
tee OF five be appointed to wait upon
the town council on Monday to repre-.
sent the Taxpayers of the town, in
petition to them that they would adopt
the most economical plan for fire extin-.
guishment, and yet use all due diligence
in it's equipment and construction.
The cnair appointed Messrs. Gibson,
Maxey, Anderson, Longstreet and Man
ming as sach committee. The meeting
then adjourned. 1t is understood that
Messrs. Anderson and Longstreet are
opposed to Mr.. Lynch'a proposition,
and that the other three, while not di-
rectly committed to it, are on the salt.

An Attempt at Arson-The Hay Crop
snfsrs-Notss.
SAN BERNARDINo, April L. Friday
evening about IL o'clock an attempt YVES
made to burn the building at the cor
ner Of L and First streets, now occupied
by the Paine family. Straw was placed
under the corner OF the building and
saturated with coal oil. Fortunately,
before the fire had made much neadwsy
it was discovered by the police and
promptly extinguished. This is one of
several recent attempts to commit arson
in this city.
The fifth Demoreet silver medal con-
test, under tine directions of Mrs. Ken

church next Thursday evening. There
are from six TO ten contestants in each

Last Sunday Oweger & Mespelt, cigar
manufacturers, kept their house OF
business open all day in violation OF the
Sunday closing ordinance, but today
every business house in the city is
cloaed, and gatling gun might be
turned loose on Third street without
hitting anybody.
The continued dry weather at this
season of the year has caused a large
percentage OF the barley crop to perish,
and hay has gone up several dollars per
ton. Horses and cattle are selling at
lower figures than for many years. A
large area of country in the vicinity oil
this city mas in years past suffered from
too much water, and few dry seasons
will be benefit to it. This section will
again become very valuable as hay
producing country, for the drier parts oi
the country.

Immediately after comes plough-shaped

The model is the work of Mr.. Croner,
who has been working upon it at Chino
and ia quite clever piece of mechanism.
We hope Mr.. Cayce will obtain patent
for his machine and make his fortune.
