c.non's drestest Need.

Canon City has always enjoyed the
reputation, and justly. too. of having
the best volunteer fire department In
the state. doubt if there is bet
ter one in any state of the union.
Our boys have always responded to
the alarm with all promptness and
without regard to wearing apparel or
health, have worked hard and faithful
and are deserving of more credit than
they usua ly receive.
Perhaps some few mistakes have
been made in fighting the fires, but
considering the fact that we have no
trained men and the facilities in their
hands, they have earned much praise,
and some have permanently injured
themselves in their efforts to save
life and property.
But Canon City has reached point
when there must be change il the
equipment for extinguishing fires.
Why! First, because the town has
grown SO rapidly that volunteer de-
partment such as we have can no
longer control such a vast area of
business and residence property. and
in the second place the present de-
psrtment is not properly equipped for
. large fire.
What would become of our bust
meas portion if . large fire should get
under headway, Nothing short of
complete destruction. To be sure,
We have few buildings that are over
two stories, but the department does
not possess ladder that will reach
above . second story in case one was
needed; and We have practically no
facilities for extinguishing small fires
10 . business block without great
damage by water. In fact, there is
nearly as much damage done by water
- by the fire.
While have barried the insurance
on two Of our latest fires, l am not
writing from the standpoint of such
interest, but am looking to the wei
fare of our business men. Had n
chemical fire extinguisher been at the
disposal of the department when he
FIRE occurred at Avery's furniture
store the damage. would have been
about two hundred dollars instead of
two thousand. The boys worked
hard in thesr endeavor to put olt the
fire, and deserve great credit in ssv-
ing the entire block from destruction.
One of the greatest difficulties
arise when = FIRE is some distance
from the hose house because the men
are unfit for work after they have
run several blocks with a heavy cart.

MAHDIST EMPIRE ENDED.
Rise and FalP in the Case of the
Dervishes.

In two bloody conflicts, one at
Abriadil, q miles west of the Nile,
and the other seven miles southeast of
Gedil, General Wingate has at length
destroyed the dervish power in the
Soudan. In the first of these two bat
ties Ahmed Fedil's force of $500 men
was decimated; in the second the
khalifa's sole remaining army was
beaten and captured, and the Khalifa
himself was killed. All the principal
emirs, excepting the willy Osman
Digna, were killed or captured, in
Guiding the Mahdi's son and the
Khalifa's two brothers. AS the khalifa
had himself killed off the other sue
cessors to the throne nominated by the
Mahdi, there remains now, it is be-
! lieved, no nucleus about which the
dervish power can recrystallize. The
Mahdist movement, which began
about 1881 as a politico-reliious re-
form and produced a secular empire,
Extending from the Red Sea to the

The Khalifa Abdullah began life as
camel driver, which hard lot he ex-
changed for that of disciple of the
