orary Member of the Ell Paso Fire De-
partment. Mr.. Brewster was the Oldest
fireman in the State, having been a
member of the Houston Fire Depart
ment since 1915.
Mr.. kiefer was reelected Chief Aug

1856, when he resigned and w. H.
futile was elected to fill the vacancy
Mr.. futile had served as foreman of
the Hook and Ladder Company and
two terms as Assistant Chief, so that
from past experince he was able to fill
the position with credit. Chief
futile, being strong advocate Of

literally, sent the boys up to the Fire

October, 1886, where they captured

elected chief January IL, 1887. At the

Fruin, Chief. During Chief Fruin Is

her guests handsomely" The citizens
joining with the Department in extend

Chief Fruin, at this convention was
elected first vice-president of the State
Fire Association and was advanced to

was a brave and enthusiastic fireman

served bis term w. H. futile was for
the third time elected chief. During

besides being an enthusiastic fireman,
has in this short time made a brilliant
record as presiding officer, and when
it is known among the delegates that
President Edwards is a native Texan,
it will add that much more to their
enjoyment of the welcome that FL Paso
extend to her visitors.
HONORARY MEMBERS.
Each company has roll of honorary
mem bers composed OF prominent citi-
zens who have not the time to devote
to active service at fires, but who lend
advice and support and encouragement
to their respective companies, and who
have much to do with the stability of
the Department in the past and present,
and we take this opportunity to pay
them an honorable and we'll deserved
tribute.
Many incidents, as we'll as the names
OF faithful hard workers had to be left
out of this article for want of space:
there are two, however, that we must
mention and they are, S. II. Buchanan
and W. NJ, Yandell, who have given
many years of their lives to the up
building of the department. And it is
ever the steadfast, self-sacrificiug dis
position of each fireman of the depart
ment that has endeared the organiza-
ton to each and every citizen of our
little city.

To w. H. Carter belongs the honor of
first suggesting the ACCESSIBILITY of or
ganizing fire company in Ell Paso,
and on August 10, 1882, he with others
circulated a paper for signatures, re-
sulting in forty-siX charter members
signing the roll. Four days later, on
August %. meeting was held on the
balcony of the old Grand Central Ho-
tel where the organization was made
permanent, under the style and name
of GEL Paso Hose Company No. 1" apd
the following officers were elected: j.
w. collars, President; Col. James
MARI, vice-president: Chas. l.. Pierce,
Chief; Ben F. Levy, Assistant Chief;
w. 81. Carter, 2ud Assistant Chief; w.
A. Irwin, Treasurer; w. B. McLach-
Ian, Secretary.
At subsequent meeting held No
vembsr Is, 1882, the membership was
enlarged and the Fire Department
which had been organized as Hose
Company No. 1" was re-organized into
the following companies, tO-wit: Hose
Company No. 1, Hose Company No. 2
and Hook and Ladder Company No. 1.
The department has been conducted
on this basis ever since, adding new
companies as the town gained in popu-
lation aud it was found necessary. To
a certain extent Charles Pierce is
looked upon as the originator of the Ell
Pase Fire Department. Commencing
without apparatus of any kind he, in a
few months, put the department in
position to fight almost any fire that
might occur.
The first fire in Ell Paso occurred
shortly after the department was or
ganized, on the night of November il,
1882. at the present sight of the Wind
sor Hotel where stood two one-story
frame lodging houses. 1t is a coinci-
dent that these buildings belonging to
Mr.. Carter should be the first to burn.
The water works had just been COM
pleted a few weeks, and had placed
fire plug almost opposite where the fire
occurred, but at this time there were
but one hundred feet of hose in the
city; with this the fremen could throw
the water only far enough to splash on

Kansas, and was therefore we'll quail
fed to fill the position.
February 8, 1896, Hose Company
was organized composed of the South
ern Pacific Machine shop men and,
upon application, was admitted into
the Ell Paso Fire Department under
the name of the "Sunset Hose Com
pany No. f." The department finding
that after little more than one years
connection with the Department that
they did not keep up their organiza
ton, concluded to drop them from the
rolls.
May 26, 1885, the Department was
favored by distinguished visitor in
the person of Honorable Robert Brew
ster, treasurer Of the State Fire Asso-
citation, who was duly elected an Hon

of the department., and then it was
more or less compulsory, made so by
the Insurance Companies.
For the year 1891 Mr.. Kiefer was
elected Chief and served so faithfully
that he was again elected to serve
through the year 1892, making four
terms he had served as chief. During
Mr.. Kiefer's term quite an addition
was made to the department by the
purchase of a Silsby steamer; he also
organized racing team which proved
to be the fastest in the southwest. AT
Albuquerque, in September. 1891. they
made record in straight-of-way
hose race, two hundred yards, twenty
two and half seconds.

Eggleston as Q Historian.

What position must we assign DR.. Egg

own part have no hesitation in answer
ing that DR.. Eggleston Is neither plod
ding cleaner nor merely pleasant narrator
of what we all know, but true historian
who has handled his materials in such
fresh and vigorous way as to fairly entitl'
him to the credit Of having made con
tribution of lasting value to our historical
literature. This Judgment will hardly b'
approved by any reader who is unable tt
rid himself of what may be called the an

reader will demand new facts or else ole
facts retailed In an orderly and exhaustive
manner. Yet DR.. Eggleston could scarcely
be expected to furnish any startling array
Of now facts that would compel rewrit

INVENTION OF A SAVAGE.
a Strictly Scientific Way OF Creating y
Fire.

1t has been less than 100 years since CIV
ilized humanity used many odd devices for
the purpose Uf obtaining fire. In this coup-
try, then claiming to he "enlightoned,
tho tinder box with stec,, and flint, was the
apparatus most genera used However,
II there was no tinder box In tho house, the
old fiintlock muskst, with a few grains of
powder In the pan, together with few
h.reds OF paper or creased rags, was oon-
udered household necessity. Rubbing
sticks together until they were fired by
friction was the method used by the saw
ages of that time in nearly all the lands of
she globe.
There was one singular exception, how
ever, to all OF the above, as well as many
other of the more common methods of
Striking light" and that method was
practiced by = rude tribe Of semisav wages
fnhabting eastern Tibet. Curious as 1t
may seem, those rude savages obtained fire
on strictly scientific principles, which in
volved a wonderful knowledge of the prop
critics of compressed air. The apparatus
used consisted of a wooden cylinder ga
inches long by three-quarters of an inch
In diameter, which was closed at one end.
Into this cylinder-which tapered of at
one end until 1t was not larger than CON-
mon lead pencil--was fitted an alright
piston, which had large, fiat knob at the
top. The other end Of the piston was light
ly followed out, the indentation being In.
tended for the re@ption of small piece OF
tinder, or punk. When this apparatus
was in use, 1t was held In one hand, the
piston being inserted with the other
and about half way down. A very
sharp blow was then given with the palm
Of the hand on the top Of the large or knob
end of the piston. At the same insta nj
the fingers were closed around the knot
and the piston instantly withdrawn. II
everything had worked to perfection, the
scientific savage was usually rewarded by
finding that the tinder had been lighted
and fire was assured.
Sir William Gill, the English scientist
who investigated this queer mode of strik
ing light, says that 'it requires skill tc
use this fro producing apparatus, as well
as science to invent it. San francisco

A Curious Wooden watch.

The most curious timekeeper perhap
that has ever been made In this country
was the work of one Victor Doriot who
lived at Bristol, Tenn, about 20 years ago
This theological oddity was nothing more
or less than woodes watch. The case wat
made OF brier root, and the inside works
all except three of the main wheels and the
springs, which were of metal-wero made
from piece OF an old lockwood rule The
face, which was polished until 1t looked
like slab of finest ivory, was made from
the shoulder blade Of an old COW that had
boen killed by the cars. "Doriot's queer
watch, as It was called, was IN open faced
affair, with a glass crystal, and was pro-
nounced an elegant piece of workmanship
by all the watchmakors In east Tennessee.
