For Fire Protection.

The local fire department has closed
contracts with Cook Bros. for the
sinking of well on Main street, near
Fifth avenue, not less than forty feet
deep and the building Of u reservoir
around the same guaranteed to hold
sufficient water tn supply the engine
for one hour, for $235. Another and
similar well and reservoir, both be-
Ing six-inch wells, will be sunk near
william Jenkins new home, so as to
PROVIDE means for fighting fire in
other sections of town than those
convenient to the stream. A third
reservoir in the coulee In front of the
Peterson residences is also being con-
sidered, but must await an addition
artax levy. Work ON the Main street
well has already commenced.
In this connection it might be well
to call attention of citizens to what
will be expected OF them in case Of
fire. The fire company is limited by
law to % men. and not more than
20 can be depended upon to be in at
tendance should necessity require.
This number is wholly incompetent
to run the engine and handle the hose,
etc, and citizens will be expected to
work on the brakes at the engine. III
an alarm Is sounded hurry To the en-
gine station and thereby enable the
fire boys to promptly provide water
to fight the flames.
