diatsiy on the river. As the climate IL
most favorable for fruit growing that In

grape roots being set out on all sidea
Peaches. prunes and aprscots seem 10 be
in the lead, while apples. pears and plum
trees follow next In order. or the smaller
and less hardy fruits, such a. tomatoes,
melons. etc. only sufficient for home use
Is being raised, owing to present inability
TO rapidly reach outside markets. Several
hop yards are now being planted
In this vicinity. and next season
it IL estimated that 80 acres
more win be planted. Cotton and tobacco

A Threatening Blaze.

Yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire
was caused by blaze on the roof of the
Cosmopolitan. The fire was evidently
caused by spark either from the Chin
ney, or from passing locomotive, ssI
the fire was entirely on the outside of
the shingles. A brisk wind was blowing
from the east and northeast and the
flames spread rapidly over the shingles.
A bucket brigade was soon formed, and
blaze and holding it in check until the
arrival of the hose carts. Columbia got
first water but the pressure was not
sufficient, and the hose was hauled up
on the building. The steamer was slow
in getting to the fire and equally slow
about getting steam. It is safe to say
that had the bucket brigade not been
formed at once the Cosmopolitan would
have burned, and the chances then for
the balance of the city towards Mill
creek would have been small.
We are not disposed to fault-fnding,
but this is a case where the existence of
the city was at stake. The greatest
blame must rest upon those who have
charge of the city's waterworks. The
pressure was not on the mains, where it
should be. There is a mistaken idea
about supplying the lower part of the
city from the lower reservoir. The bus
iness portion of the city lies below the
bluff and so does four-ffths of the prop
erty values. The city has assumed a
heavy Indebtedness, for the purpose of
owning its water system. It is entitled
not only to water for domestic and COM
mon purposes, but also to fire protection.
Unless the pressure is kept on the lower
mains,- one of the principle objects for
which the city assumed its Indebtedness
is defeated. We have escaped a dis
astrous confagration, more by accident
than otherwise, for had the fire not been
discovered for minute or two later, the
buckets could not have controlled it,
and the probabilities are there would
have been no town west of Court street.
This article is not written in spirit
of fault-fnding, but simply to call atten-
ton to those whose business it is to
manage the water and the fire depart
ment to the necessity of being better pre-
pared for future emergencies.
Since writing the above we have heard
all kinds of assertions concerning the
water, some insisting it was turned on,
others that the plug was not opened and
so on through the whole list of possible
examinations and recriminations. Mr..
Worsley asserts that the plug was opened
to its fullest capacity. However this
may be or where the fault lies, one thing
is assured and that is that the fire was
not well managed save by the bucket
brigade and perhaps Columbia hose
company.
