Mr. Argyle's point was well taken.
Too many precautions cannot be adopted
against fire, and especially is this so in a
town Which is SO poorly equipped with
FIRE extingulshing apparatus as Spanish
Fork. A very frequent cause of fire is
careless smoking in the vicinity of hay
stacks. Many men and boys who smoke,
while not naturally careless, are al
times very thOnghtless in regard to
where they throw lighted matches anc
as to what the consequence may be,
BY lessening the quantity Of hay OF
other irfiamable material stacked IN ole
place and the exercise of care In its
location the danger of possible FIRE
would be reduced and the damage
diminished.
Most people can readily call TO mind
instances in which disastrous fires have

Provo city is not Utah county By quite g
good deal. There are other towns in the
county that have very reasonable claim-
for consideration, and they will not be
backward about asserting them. Con-
ventioDs and politicians may as well
take this fact into consideration when
fixing up their little "slates". They are
hereby reminded OF the existence OF
Spanish Fork. This city gives q large
Democratic majority and has igorous
Republican organization. Come. Pro vo

in your strength, lest you be shorn of il
by your rural neighbOrs.
