A country with as many differ.
ent resources as this, cannot be
ruined by the failure of any one
crop. The present prospect for a
corn crop is exceedingly gloomy,
but the farmer Of this section does
NOS depend wholly ON corn.

FIRE PROTECTION.

A little shed, in the centre of
the mercantile district, Saturday,
which was probably worth $40,
caught fire. The efforts Of hun.
dred men was necessary to keep
the flames from spreading to ad-
joining mercantile houses. Fort
unately, the blaze started shortly
after the business houses were
opened, and there were a sufficient
number Of men, on the scene be-
fore tbs flames had obtained a
good headway. An ordinary pipe
line, would have extinguished the
blszs, in five minutes, but with no
water accessible except a nearby
we'll, il looked for a while like
widespread conf agralion would
result.
There is no improvement that
Vinila needs so much, as a cafe.
guard against fire, to what she has
at present. The proposed pipe
line from the artesian well should
be laid at once. Public subscrip.
tions should be obtained to pay
the cost. The Commercial club
have the matter under amusement
and are now getting estimates on
the probable cost. 1t is not fair TO
expect that splendid organization
to do everything, and a matter of
this kind, that affects the entire
community, should receive their
general support.

parent, TO need comment. This

apparatus for them to fight fire

The first thing, is to get the wa.

entire city from destruction. When
the subtcfiplion books cJme
round, don't forget that.
Vinila can view with composure
the little competitions and pred
judlces exhibited by some other
towns in the lndiao Territory. Az

importance or business enterprise.
In the midst Of the most
resourceful and productive
section in the whole territory, she
stands unapproacha5le in the way
Of rivalry. She draws trade from
a vast section, because It pays the
people to come here and purchase
what they want. Our merchants
have made ii worth while to travel
