For some time there has been
talk of viewing out and locating
road from the head Of Depoe slough
above ChaS. Carlson's place, fol-
lowing the divide between the ocean
and the Siletz river. 1t is now
proposed TO renew this project and
continue the road along the rilge
to the lower Sletz river, terminal
ing on the river at some point near
Kerns' caunery. Indians who have
hunted over the ground through
which the proposed road would
run, say that there is an unbToken
ridge from Carlson's place near the
Siletz liue to the lower Siletz river.
Il this be true, the expense of build
ing a road would be nominal. AS
soon as the weather will permit a
crew of men will lie organized at
this place 10 view out this route
and to locate road, if practicable.
Inside of a year there is going TO
be large amount OF business es-
tablished OIL the lever bay, and
+shis road would open up feasible
and the shortest route TO the rail-
road. Mr.. J. H. Kern has guaran-
teed that his firm will assist in this
enterprise. 1t is all important mat
ter for Toledo and should receive
attention as soon as po5si5,e.

YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION

Needs attention at this time. If YOU
are tired, weak and nervous, it is
clear that your blood is impure, and
without doubt there has been too
much over-work or strain on brain
or body. The cou' Sc of treatment
for such condition is plain and
simple. The blood mnst first be
purified so that the nervous system,
and in fact all of the organs will be
fed upon pure blood. Intelligent
people without number have testi-
fed that the best blood purifier,
nerve tonic and strength imparting
medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Nervousness, loss of sleep and gen.
eral debility all vanish when Hood S
sarsaparilla is persistently taken; in
word, health and happiness follow
after taking Hoods sarsaparilla.

FIREBUGS AT ANDALE
Two Efforts Made to Burn tho House OF
Dr, Then.

Dr, Tihen.
Father Then OF this city has a bro
ther at Andale whose property some
firebugs are after according to the fol-
lowing from the Mt. Hope Mentor. 1t
says:
"One of the most unexpfainabie and
peculiar events occurred here last week
Thursday night when Dr. Then reach
ed home ait about IL o'clock, he perceiv-
ed that his house was on fire, and ne I'M
medjately ran to the well, which as back
of the house, and where stood a tub 1uIi
Of water. He soon succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames and then retired.
The next morning upon examining the
surroundings pieces of an old sack well
saturated with kerosene were discov-
cred near, which proved undoubtedly
that the fire was caused by the hands
of an incendiary. The same thing un-
der all the same circumstances, and at
precisely the same place was repeated
Sunday morning at 8 O'Clock. Thi
time the fire was discovered by Mr..
Peter George, and in the following
manner: He happened TO turn over
in his sleep, and this wakened him par
italy, when he saw the light of the
fire, ne Immediately ran out shouting
fire, nre, and aroused the occupants
of the neighboring houses, who with
strenuous effcrts succeeded in exiting
uishing the flames. If the wind mad
blown either night, the house would
be a heap of ashes today, and which
would be a total loss to Mr.. Riley Dean
the owner OF the house and Dotcor
Then as neither carry any
insurance whatever on his property,
and under present circumstances an in
surance is made impossible. Both par
ties, Mr.. Dean and the Doctor are mys-
titled as neither can see any provocation
for anyone to try and do them dam
ag, an that way. The act has very
much the appearance es IL Commit

Ali Of the Men Are Carefully Trained fol
Their Exacting Dutiea

| Ali of the Men Are Carefully Trained foa
Their Exactins DutieA
The school was organized in Febru-
ary. 1883. primarily for the purpose Of
| instrueting the men of the different
companies in the use of the scaling
ladder" which had then just been intro
| duced in the department. 1t gradual
ly became enlarged in its scope, how
ever, until, with the completion Of the
new Fire Headquarters building IN
January, 1857, it became a general
school OF instruction-not only for the
new men admitted on trial (called pro
bationary firemen'), but for the men
already in service-in the use of all life
saving apparatus, and in the many ap-
plianees used for fighting fire.
Before they had this new building, in
East Sixty-seventh street, the COM
panies were taught the use of the seal
ing-ladders and life-net at an old sugar
warehouse near the foot Of West One
Hundred and Fifty-eighth street and
the North river, and here the classes
numbered nearly 60 men ~ time. But
this building was on an eut1of-the-way
place, and lacked the facilities neces-
sary for instructing the men in raising
large extension ladders, and in the use
of the many new tools then being added
to the department.
When the new Fire Headquarters
building was being completed yard
designed for this purpose was built at
the back OF that building. This yard is
about 100 feet square, being well ce-
mented and drained, SO that water can
be used in the lessons. Here company
drills" were ntredueed-companies be-
Ing summoned unexpectedly from diff
ferent parts of the city, just as they
would be called to aR actual fire.
When they arrived the engines were
started and the men put through all
the maneuvers of battling with the
flames. The hose was dragged up the
staircase to the top of the building
water was started or shut off, and large
quantities were used in the different
movements executed in the yard or
from the windows at the rear. The
men were thus made acquainted with
cRPA4dANC Sdi iCu opOll tuC 6p-
psratus, and the system perfected in
every detail.
Companies receive ratings on the
books kept by the instructor according
to the proficiency they showed at the
drills; end some idea of what effect
these drills had in improving the service
may be gathered from the fact that.
when they were started, of the so OF
more companies in the department. there
were about 21 companies in the first
grade, 1s in the second, and 40 in the
third or lowest grade. After three
years of instruction there were only
four or five IN the last grade, about IS
In the second, and fully 60 received the
rating of first grade companies.
1t is here, in this yard, where there
company drills played so important q
part in bringing the New York depart
ment to its present point of perfection.

ton In tho use of the scaling-ladder,
tho lifeline, and the Ilfe-net-Charles
