RECOMMENDATIONS,

/ would recommend the purchase Of
500 feet OF hose, tive new play pipes, one
shut off nozzle, one siamese connection,
and eight feet Of 4 inch suction pipe. The
above mentioned supplies are absolutely
needed, as you are all aware OF the fact
that we have not one modern fire fighting
appliance In our whole department.
During the past year No. 2 (Hlbernia)
has purchased third-class steamer and
has dispensed with Its hand engine.
Since the arrival in our city OF the above
mentioned steamer, 1t has performed its
work In such satisfactory manner as to
make it patent to all that IL is long felt
want added to our department.
Last October, bad the honor 10 repre-
sent the department at the annual con-
ventien OF Fire Chiefs held in Augusta,
Georgia, the proceedings OF which have
already been briefly reported to you. l
present with this report q complete &C
count of the proceedings, which should
be filed among the records OF the depart
ment.
Thanking you for the courtesy. hope
the same will be extended to my successor.
The convention will meet at Salt Lake
City, in September next.
Thanking you all individually and col
lectively for the courtesy / have received
from you the past year, also to the de-
partment one and all, l remain your
most obedlent servant,

RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.


Film Demidon, = Russian Whose Wealth
IL of Recent Creation.
Like the English millionaires, those
OF the cars dominions mostly derive
their revenues from landed property.
While the Briton, however, devotes a
large part of his gross income toward
improving his possessions and to the
amelioration of the lot of his tenants in
one way or another, the Russian, on
the other hand, extracts every farthing
that he can from his property and
spends it upon himself, the result being
that agriculture in Russia is going
from bad to worse, that formerly fer
tile and productive estates have now
become barren and impoverished, and
that, while the peasantry are in a state
OF misery bordering on famine, the
mobiles themselves have been obliged to
mortgage or sell their lands, and are at
the end Of their financial tether. OF
course, there nre some exceptions, such
rs, for instance, the Yousoupoffs, the
Demidoffs and the Scheremetieffs. The
wealth of the Denidoffs is so vast, &C
cording to the New York Tribune, that
1t is beyond calculation, and strangely
enough the fortune is of relatively re.
cent creation, its founder having been
a country blacksmith in the days of Pc
ter the Great. 1t was while travelling
In the Ural mountains that the latter
broke one of his most valuable English
pistols. A village smith inended it so
quickly and so we'll that the car was
delighted and ASKED the mans name.
"Demidoff, l shall remember you," said
he as he rode off. The poor man was
beginning to think that Peter had for
gotten him when there came an official
document adorned with the imperial
seal, granting him the freehold of a
great tract of crown land in the neigh
borhood of the village. Dcmidoff went
to work on his new property and found
there inexhnustiblc mines of iron, sill
yer and malachite Young Elm Dem
idon-he does not bear in Russia the
Italian title OF prince generally pre-
fxed to his name by foreigners-is ut
the present moment the richest man in
the world, Princess Yousoupoff, with
her great turquoise mines, coming next
in rank. Fortunately, both of them
are more free-handed and generous
than their respective immediate pred
ecessors as head OF the family, the late
Anatolc Demidoff and tho late Prince
Yousoupof having been alike renowned
for their meanness and avarice, of
which almost incredible stories are re.

THE DREAM or CHEMISTRY.

Hopes In Time to Produce ralassble beef
steaks Out or tho ElementA-
The electrician has one dream and
the social philosopher has another.
But the chemist has also vision of the
alchemist of the dark ages. This is
how he would solve the problems OF
comfort and happiness which have been
put to the human race:
Tho chemist hopes for a synthetic
beefsteak, for chemical loaf, for a
cup of coffee made. like his sodawater
extracts, out of inorganic matter. He
wants to sec the day when a synthetic
climate shall envelop the earth, when
the rainmakcr shall be prophet and
man shall hold the string to the unruly
bags Of Aeolus.
I'm that day the food and raiment OF
mankind will be produced in the
crucibles Of the chemist. Once more
verdure will clothe the fields now de-
faced by human toll, and the shaggy
woods will spring anew on the de-
spoiled slopes of the hills. There will
be no tilling or harvest, no slaughter
ing Of tame beasts. Out of the original
elements chemistry will compound
chops and outlets, knead tho dough
and brew ale.
1.-The battle has already been partly
won in the case Of medicines and drugs.
The wine at the table d'hote never saw
the vineyard. Tho prize fruit flowers
OF the drug store are innocent of the
orchard and garden. Synthetic chem
istry is yet young 1t has made great
advances in the production of plycerine
and sugar. 1t has four thousand devo-
tees in this country who hope to make
the dream a reality"

ly a million dollars a month in
interest by refusing to call in
matured bonds, and they do this
in open violation and defiance Of
the law. They will not call bonds
because they are the appointed
creatures Of banks and bondhold-
ers. The latter want gold in re-
turn Tor the bonds of the govern
ment which they hold, and the
secretary of the treasury evidently
proposes to crafty them by al
lowing those matured bonds to re-
main outstanding until he can pay
for them in gold When these OBJ
legations were issued, silver was
the standard legal tender coin of
the country, as it has been since
1852, and the bonds were taken
on that standar I'd with the full
knowledge that they were redeem
able in silver. Every bond ever
issued by the government has
on it's face the statement that it
"shall be redeemable at maturity
in the standard legal tender coin
of the United States" Silver is
now standard legal tender coin,
and yet in the face of that fact,
and also that it is accommodating in
the treasury vaults, the head of
the treasury declines to pay it out
on matured debts. Who would
allow interest on note to run
when he had in his pocket the
means of stopping it, and yet this
is just what the last two secre-
tarics of finance have done. The
government, which is the people,
is paying interest to the banks
and bondholders when there is
money in the peoples pocket to
cancel the debts upon which the
interest accrues. And all because
the banks and holders of bonds
don't want the white metal in pay
ment, but want the gold metal
that is worth eighteen per cent.
more than the bonds call for.
These are the parties who are
advocating the demonstration of
the silver dollar that they may be
paid in appreciated gold, and thus
get more for their bonds than they
bargained for. The people do not
desire the demonetization of silver,
the bankers and bondholders do.
Readers, draw your own inference
and you will not be far from the
truth-from tho true motives of
those who favor the suspension of
silver coinage.
