PURE ICE ORDINANCE.

IT Is DIFFICULT TO understand why
! objections should be made to an
ordinance requiring dealers in ice to
sell nothing except the pure article. A
measure, such as the one proposed, is
in force in nearly all of the large cities
of the country. and experience has
demonstrated that the public health
has been greatly promoted thereby.
Impure ice is just as bad as impure
milk or any other product which
makes disease possible. Unless it is
used only fo- cold storage purposes it
should be destroysd.
In salt Lake Ia bygone years ice
from fIthy ponds has been sold with
out let or hindrance. and it has not
been difficult to traCe coutagion di-
rectlv to its use. There was once a
theory, and il was generally believed,
that water, IN freezing. purified itself.
This Is as untrue as untruth itself
Disease germs. especially those Of ty-
pko.d and similar troubles. live at a
,uucf. lower temperature than ina
freezing point
This has been demonstrated time ana
again by actual experience. 1t wOulO
he FAR better for people to do without
fee altogether. hard as that might be.
than to use ice which has rot been
surrounded in its gathering by every
possible safeguard for purity. Stag
nant water, that is, water that has
stood through the dry. hot months Of
the fall. is just as dangerous in q
glass Of pure water as the pond water
itself Yet people who would not think
of drinking from a pond, win drink
water cooled by ice from that pond.
II IS this character Of product that
the health department seeks to arm
itself against. Ne man who expects TO
sell pure ice to the citizens Of salt
Lake VIII be molested. To say that
he viii be is 20 cast a reflection on the
conduct OF the health department that
Is H7t borne Out by the facts If the sole
source Of support any individual has is
in the sale of impure ice, the soon
er he hnds something better to do the
more healthfuI it will be for the com
munity. Neither viii the health de-
partment look with fayoring eye on
the larger companies.
Indeed. they viii be watched even
more carefully than the Others, if pos
sipLe. for their opportunities to do
harm VIII oe in proportion To their es-
taoiishments. unless they abide by the
law. BY all means the council should
pass the proposed ordinance. The Sine

FOREST RESERVES AND FIRES.

II AN ARTICLE by Charles 5. New
hall in the March Forum on the
subject of Fire and the Forest Re
serves" is much that is Of interest to
Utah readers Mr.. NewhaH is the gov
eminent superintendent of forest re-
serves in northern and central Califor-
MIA and man of wide experience.
While conditions in Utah and California
are different in a great many respects,
the necessity for a proper preservation
of the forest reserves exists in both
states.
Speaking of the damage done by for
est fires Mr.. NewhaH says: THE great
est harm Of all comes through the far
reaching effect Of forest fires upon the
water supply of a community. Deuude
the mountains in whatever degree and
by whatever cause, and at once the
water supply is affected or threa tened.
There being no grass left no brush, no
trees, no roots or rootlets, thsrrain and
melting snow, when they come. cannot
be held back TO soak quietly into the
ground until the hills are great satu-
rated sponges. Instead. with wild sur
face rush, they wash the soil. bury the
meadows, gully and cut the hiusides.
choke the reservoirs, flood the plains
and so foam away worse than uselessly
toward the sea. When the summer
comes the mountain sponges are dry.
And that means. if it lasts. ruin in the
homes below"
Every reader will at once recognize
the truth Of Mr.. NewhalTs observations
Continuing, he says that a large pro-
portion Of the forest fires are started
by sheep anu stoClmen. He is es-
/ pec,aIy severe in nis condemnation Of
/ the sheepherders, foi he says they have
a practice of burning o,t the rubbish
/ at the close of a season IN order to Sc
cure better pastorage the next year.
I Whether this is true or not there is
no doubt about the CareIessneSs Of all
parties who roam the forests for bust
ness or pleasure.
/ To protect the mountain growths and
| thereby aid i'm conserving the water
| supply, Mr. Newhau believes in the ex-
/ tension Of government forest reserves.
such reserves are looked after by rang
/ ers who see to it that violat0rs Of the
/ law are punished and the interests of
/ an sides are looked after.

The Quaint Old Engine Presented to
Alexandria.

Alexandria never lets Washington's
birthday go by without celebrating it
in most appropriate manner, the chief
Observance being by the members of
Friendship Fire company. perhaps the
Oldest one i'm existence. being organ
lied by General Washington on the 18th
day OF August 1I14. It's membership
is kept UP by the oldest Inhabitants"
of Alexandria. and a right royal time
they always have when the I'D Of Feb
ruary comes.
After the company was organized
by General Washington it seems to
have become a popular Institution, and
the membership Increased so rapidly
that Washington himself introduced
resolution limiting the membership =
the seating capacity Of the hall. The
first membership named comprised
those citizens who out of mutual
friendship" agreed to carry to every
fire two leather buckets and one great
bag of Osnaburg or wide linen
When Washington went to congress
in IVA at Philadelphia he examined
the fire engines in use there. On his
return to congress d year later he
bought from one Gibbs a small fourth
class engine for S4o0. and just before
he set out for Boston Heights TO be-
come commander-in-chief he dis
patched the engine TO the company in
AIexaudria-Which apparatus is still
kept intact.
In the last year of his life a fire oc-

During tie revolution, when the Brit

ship company manned one of the sun
boats that went down to meet the en-
envy. and the minutes Of the company
record that one of the monthly meet
ings was suspended because the cons
pany had stopped fighting fire and
gone to fight the British.
The last active service the company
performed at a fire was more than
twenty years ago, and though the en-
CINE presented by Washington was
purchased at a small cost, It has prob
ably saved as much property as any
fire apparatus now in existence, and

THE CASE OF MR.. CLAYTON.

II IT IS TRUE, as charged by Sen
ator Nelson Of Minnesota. that
Powell Clayton. minister Of the United
States to Mexico. is interested i'm q
mining company i'm that country 10 the
detriment Of other citizens Of the
United States, some drastic action
should be taken. II viii be noted that
the charge comes from the Republican
side of the senate. and il is. therefore
reasonable to infer that it is brought
in good faith. 1t is apparent, as Sen
ator Nelson says, that United States
ministers should not Interest them
selves in business in countries TO which
they are accredited.
such action on their part is calcu-
lated to make them less jealous in
guarding the rights of those whom it is
their duty to protect For instance,
should a minister become interested in
a mining company. and if that com
uany should encroach on a claim owned
by citizens of the country from which
the minister comes, it is obvious that
he could not serve two masters and
that his fellow citizens must suffer.
This, according to the report from
Mexico, is exactly what has happened
in the case Of 1dinister Clayton. a rigid
investiga ton by the state department
is now i'm order. There is a rule which
forbids consuIs Of the United States
engaging in any business in the coun-
tries where they are stationed. When
compared with a minister a consul is
a very Insignificant person. His powers
for good or harm are extremely linz
tied.
Therefore. if it is improper for a CON
sui to commit the offense alleged
against the minister. it is much more
improper for a minister to violate the
rule.
