da, Great Falls. Missoula, Bozeman
and Helena being represented. The
convention will be In session three
days. and while most of the time will

includes some amusement and recrea-
tion. The convention met at o'clock
| In the council room. Mayor w. L.
Steele welcomed the delegates In an
| eloquent address. After extending to
the visitors the freedom Of the city, he
paid the hremen q high compliment,
dwelling on the fact that their work,
while no less appreciated. was scarce
ly understood by the people generally.
| When the visitor goes into q IRE sta
tion." said the mayor, he admires the
neatness and system everywhere visi-
BILE and at the same time. unless he II
| acquainted with the work Of the de-
| partment. he leaves with the impress
sion that the life Of o fireman is an
easy one. Did the same person follow
the work Of the fire fighters closely. he
would find their time to be completely
filed and that life to them was filled
| with responsibilities and labor. Every
| time the bell rings In an alarm IL may
be the fireman's last call He may be
| compelled to go into a building where
there are explosives. or his life may b.
l
| fremen never shirk a call to duty. H&
goes where necessity Is greatest and
never hesitates, especially when life u
at stake. Helena" concluded Mayor
Steele. appreciates the work done BY
her firemen and tries to show her ap-
| probation Of Ii. 1t gives me pleasure
to welcome you and to assure you that
| whatever the city Of Helena can do
| to make your stay a pleasant one will
be done"
| President F. l.. Reese. chief Of the
Helena department. then delivered his
annual address. Mr. Reese, while re-
viewing the work Of the firemen, said:
Few realize the duties and RESPONSE
bilities Of a fireman. and the danger In
which he places himself when lighting
fire. For a small salary he remains
on duty day and night and runs the
risk OF losing his life in going to and
fighting fires. Still II is thought by
some that our firemen are too well
paid for their services. 1t gives me
pleasure to say that the authorities Of
this city have been generous to our
department and have maintained its
efficiency. and I sincerely hope that
the different departments Of this state
have Jared likewise"
This AFTERNOON the visitors went to
Brcadwater and Central park. This
evening a session was held in the IL
brary OF the department at the city
hall Rev. John II. shelton. pastor OF
the NJ Il. church south. delivered the
address. That was followed by an in
formal discussion on technical sub
jects. Merits OF different kinds OF hose
was discussed II was the opinion of
the delegates that cotton or linen pro-
tected hose was far superior to all rub
Der and that hose wagons were more
efficient than hose reels.
