Of the older citizens will doubtless re-

the machine were a tub, two ordinary

way. The tub had to be flied by hand
with buckets. There is no record of
just how far this machine could throw

across Main street. But this was all
the fire protection the town had for four
wears. Other and more powerful en-
gines followed whose history is fairly
familiar. The department was at first
supported by voluntary subscriptions
and later a corporation was formed for
this express purpose. Such is the be

The city then, having reached its debt
limit. its power to make further con-
tracts calling for the expenditure of

NOMINATION. MORE CERTAIN.

Advices received from every coun-
ty in the Seventh congressional dis.
t.ict are to the effect that Edward
T. Young is even more sure Of the
Republican nomination at the pres
ent time than be was a month ago.
There is hardly county in the
district in whichhe has not made sub
stantial gains. In the north end of
the district every county was con-
ceded to him with the exception of
Pope and Grant counties. Grant
county was placed in the Volstead
column month ago, but since that
time it has been taken out, and con-
servative Repu blicans of that coun-
ty insist that Senator Young will
run even, if not better, at the pri-
maries. Pope county was likewise
looked upon as an important Vol
stead stronghold, bat recent move
ments of well-known men in that
county have been of great benefit to
Senator Young.
Itis admitted that Volstead is
stronger than Mr.. Bowling, esti-
mates placing 1000 or more votes
between the two, so far as the dis
trict is concerned. But if reports
from Lyon, Yellow Medicine and
Lincoln counties can be relied upon,
Mr.. Bowling has been making some
gains in those three counties, at the
expense OF Mr.. Volstead, while Sen
ator Young also takes some votes
from both gentlemen. Chippewa
is considered about an even break
between Young. and Bowling and
Lac qui Parle is still an uncertain
quantity as between Young and
Volstead, Bowling counting on a
heavy cut by reason of his actions
towards Jacobson at the last State
convention.
In other words there is no place
but what Senator Young is going to
get fair or good support, while in
many places he will get overwhelm-
ing pluralities. That he will be
nominated is as certain as any fu-
ture political forecast can be.
