able Proposition.

A special meeting Of the lire de-
partment was held in the city hall
Friday evening, at which time j. A.
Hooker was elected treasurer Of the
organization, vice e. N. Aldrich, who
had resigned.
Several other matters were dis
cussed, among the most important OF
which was ways and means OF secur-

the department. 1t was finally de-
cided to appoint committee whose
duty it should be to visit every busi-
ness man In the city and solicit sums
of money from each one, to be placed
in the hands of the department. offic-
ials. This money will be paid out
only in cases where firemen have had
clothing destroyed during fire, after
having brought positive proof Of loss.
Our business men who do not be-
long to the department should be will
ing to contribute literally to this
fund. The department is composed
of volunteers--men who In most part
are of the laboring class--who stand
ready at all times to risk life and limb
II necessary to save property and life.
They are Obliged oftentimes to leave
their work or their pleasure to save
the property of people in whom they
have no particular interest other than
humane. Their clothing frequently
Is torn, rotted out by acid or gets so
wet and muddy as to be unfit to wear.

Is it too much for them to ask that
they be reimbursed for these losses
when they receive nothing for their
time? The REGISTER believes that
not enough credit has been given the
fire department in times past, and, IL
the same is not what it should be it is
purely the fault of the large property
owners who have SO far taken little or
no interest in this important feature
of the city's affairs. II those who
have considerable amount of money
Invested in buildings or merchandise
would join the department and assist
in sharing the brunt Of the work dur
ing fire, they would do much to
assist la improving the department
and might then see the necessity for
an emergency fund OF considerable
proportions.
Another thing which it was thought
should receive the immediate atten-
tion OF the city council is the fact
that the apparatus is in need of re-
pairs. Without proper utensils the
firemen cannot be expected to do good
and efficient work.
Chief d. I'll. Campbell complimented
the firemen for their praiseworthy
work 10 the past and called attention
to the necessity for prompt action
should a fire break out during the
present scarcity of water while the
new system is being installed. His
words met with hearty approval.

The return of j. d. Meenach to Vir-
gin bay, in the Copper river district,
means an increase to nearly double the
number of men engaged in the devel-
opment of the Virgin Bay copper mine.
For several months through night and
day shifts, aggregating thirty-five men,
have been employed in its development.
According to the reports of several eX-
perts there is now blocked out and in
sight SIS, 900, 900 worth of ore.

The fishing season on the Columbia

Traces have been found of John H.
Baronett, the Englishman for whom a
fortune of 100000 is said to be waiting
in England. Publication of the fact
that a search for Baronett was in prog

whereabouts from William J. Seymour
of Tacoma, who claims to have known
Baronett for thirty years. Baronett is
a Confederate veteran and 20 years old.
E. G. Sperry of Seattle has been search

BRIEF REVIEW.
Cure for Consumption.

DIR. George M. Barney of Brook. yn,
formerly President of the Long Island
Medical Society, is the discoverer of an
alleged new cure for consumption. He
claims so per cent of recoveries under
his system. improvement is supposed
to be brought about and felt by the
patient within the period of one week.
The doctor is quoted as follows: "My
treatment consists of introducing into
the system chemical or combination
of chemicals. This combination thor
oughly saturates the system, and by
reason of its irresistible power destroys
the bacilli without injuring the tissue
cells. 1t is administered in three ways,
through the mouth, hypodermically
and in vapor form. When the vapor is
used the patient inhales from three to
fifteen minutes while seated in a spe-
cially equipped steel cabinet. Person
ally, prefer the vapor, as it goes deep
into the lungs and reaches the diseased
parts. To effect a cure requires all the
way from twelve to sixteen weeks of
treatment, according to the resistance
of the disease and the recuperating
physical condition of the patient"

There was great rejoicing in the ranks

There was great rejoicing in the ranks
of the w. G. T. U. when the army can
teens were abolished. They worked
hard for it, but it looks TO Polly as if
their joy would be turned to grief if
they knew the outcome, or rather the
result of their pet measure. Just as
soon as the result was made known the
saloons sprang up like mushrooms at
the very entrance of the Preside. Ten
of these dens have been dong a land
office business ever since. Before the
abolishing Of the canteen the drinking
was done under the eyes of the officers;
now it is in these low-down saloons that
have opened as close to every military
post as the boundary will permit, and
they are kept by INSCRIPTIONS and dis
reputable men who would not hesitate
to use the deadly Knockout drops If 1t
was to their interest to do SO. 1t is
TO their interest to make drunkards out
of the soldiers, and they are willy ser
penis at the business. AS one of the
saloon men remarked: "The ladies of
the w. g. T. U. and the saloon-keepers
are the only ones who seem to rejoice
over this canteen measure 1t looks
to Polly like it was very serious
matter.
