Duluth Heights / am sure that a dis
continuance would be: ordered .''':* Mr.

Fire Brigade Has a Run.
The ringing Of the fire bell broke
many peaceful slumber at 3.:oclock
Monday morning. 1t was the first
night alarm sounded this year, and it
brought out nearly every male resi-
dent Of the Heights. The fire was
supposed to have been in the home of
Thomas Johnson on Highland Avenue.
Mrs. Johnson and her children were
alone in the house, She was awakened
yconsiderable smoke, and not know
inc pieri,7 11~I~ o11
When the fire brigade reached the
house a careful examination was made
but no fire was discovered. 1t is the
theory of the captain that a gust .oe
wind blew down the chimney, and there
being a fire in the air tight stove,
caused the smoke to pass through the
house. Mrs. Johnson was just con-
valescing from an illness, and the
shock was trying to her
Good Drainage System.
Foreman John Hughes and his crew
OF men have just completed the open
drainage system of the Heights. The
work has been done in very satisfac~
tory mannr. Duluth Heights was never
SO well drained as 1t is this fall. It is
expected that when the snow melts in
the spring the usual pools of water
in the low lots will be conspicuous by
their absence. A conservative estimate
is made Of the drainage under tho
present system as follow:
Water lowered in Southern end of
heights ............. ...1S 1ncneS
Water lowered in Northern end of
HelghtS ~ inches
Water lowered in Eastern end Of
He1gnts ............ "a mches
The entire work was done at cost
Of less than 5000.
