ing themselves in the effort to secure
an appropriation for the establishment
and maintenance Of a suitable or sufi-
cient fire station "on the plains" It
is conceded by everybody that the dis

fire. At present the apparatus has to
be taken by horses from a mile and a
half to three miles when there is a
fire on the plains. Out there the
hydrants are widely separated and in
one case recently a line Of 1900 feet
Of hose was laid and after this there
was no chance to save the burning
building.
