A Small Blaze.

Sunday afternoon as people were re-
turning from church they were startl-
ed by the rapid changing of the fire
bell. No one seemed to know at first
aud all waited in the attitude of foot
racers about to start, to catch the di-
rectlon from the fire engine. When
1t went north on Washington avenue,
the crowd started in pursuit
The word soon came down the line
that 1t was the old smelter and every
heart contracted with fear at the
thought that the remainder of the
works, which survived the previous
fire, might go up In smoke. IL was
the old smelter, fire having caught In
the smoke stacks above the south
shed which covers one of the two re-
naming blocks of reterts. The fac
tory whistle had blowed and the men
hurried out. VIM. Lanyon, one of
the owners, with a small Babcock fire
extinguisher, mounted to the roof and
soon had the fire out. This prompt
action was all that saved the two re-
naming buildings.
When the city fire engine and the
crowd arrived all was over, but no.
body objected.
The engine started to the fire, pro-
PEELED by dozen willing hands, and
finished the run attached to a dray,
but had lots of trouble. Fret buck
ct Jared off and wait was necessary
to recover it. Then the pin which
holds the chemical cylinder came out
aud the cylinder turned over, mixing
the chemicals ntarting off the engine.
The hose was attached with the stop
cock open, and lay coiled on top of
the engine among the men. When
the cylinder turned over and the
chemicals began to work, the stream
of fire-eXtinguishing fluid squlrted
fair and square into Jimmy Camp
BELLS left eye, putting out the fire
thereof and dampening his fire-fig hit
ing ardor. He returned to town. The
boys reloaded the engine and had a
good drill anyhow.
The fire did 80 little damage that
the loss can be repaired for ten dollars
and the block operated right along.
But the alarm, the hopeless feeling
that all the town was pOwerless il
once the fiery monster got loose in
that wind, made people think again
and seriously what risks the town
runs without waterworks. Water
works, everybody admits, must come,
and the question merely is, which
will come first, the awful conilagraticn
which will convince every body of it's
need and result in the putting in of
water works plant, or the plant which
will prevent the disastrous confiagra-
ton? And of course all good citizens
who believe in and admire the young
city, hope that the water will arrive
before the fire begins its teaching.

THE STATE AS 4 ROAD-BUILDER.

Road Improvement is making progress The
citizens Of this State have been slow 10 adopt
any law on the subject, but. one having been
passed by the last Legislature there are now
tokens that steps actually will be taken in IN
extensive degree for the improvement OF the
States highways Indeed, the road improve
ment lay is already IN practical operation, and
soon the road making laborers Of the State
Engineer and Of various Boards Of Supervisors
Will be seen at work upon many prominent
thoroughfares.
As might have been expected the State En-
gneer received the first applications for State
aid in road Improvement from counties which
contain large cities or from counties situated
on the border-line OF States which for many
years have expended large sums I'm the i'm
provement Of roads The Erie County Board OF
Supervisors have submitted petition, which
was granted, for the improvement Of an i'm
portant road leading from the City OF Buffalo
to the village Of Hamburg. The Monroe Coun-
" Board OF Supervisors desire State aid 10 I'M
prove a road leading out OF Rochester. The
Board OF Supervisors Of Rensselaer, County
wish TO cooperate with the State In the I'm
provement Of the roads near Troy. MasSachu-
sets and New-York have formed friendly
union and are engaged in the joint enterprise
Of building a new road between Lebanon and
Plttsfeld. Rockand County real estate owners
are we'll acquainted with the excellent roads
1ust over the border in New-Jersey and their
beneficial effect on the value Of property. They
therefore have been inspired by the thought Of
improving the roads all over Rockland County,
and have petitioned the State Engineer 10 have
a thorough survey OF the county made and the
lines Of roads mapped out which ought 10 be
built or improved. These improvements Of the
roads I'm Rockand County will require such a
large expenditure OF money that in view Of the
smallness Of the States appropriation. the coun-
ty proposes TO pay the total bill itself. Orange
County IS also ambitious and desires State aid
TO improve roads seventy miles In length in all.
II IS obvious from these examples OF the
petitions for the Improvement OF roads now
before the State Engineer, many Of which have
been granted by him, that the road improve
ment movement is gaining strength. Some
fault has been found with the Legislature be-
cause its members only granted $4,000 TO pay
the States proportion OF the cost Of the new
roads, but. nevertheless this amount was n
good Opening wedge" Small as was the
sum. much road improvement work will be
done with 1t by the state Engineer, and "model
roads" in various counties will do more TO ad-
vance road improvement projects than all the
speeches that have hitherto been made on road
Improvement topics before legislative commit
tees at Albany The model road has come,
and Il will remain and have many companions
all over the State.

occasion to speak against the addition Of the

the ground that IL would njure organized labor.

millions OF Asiatics from the Pacific Islands,
savages from the Philippines and negroes or
persons Of mixed blood from the West Indies
may rush into this country and compete with
