MORE FIRE PROTECTION.
First Fire Plug Put in Position in
vinita Monday.

The first fire plug in this city was
put in place at the corner Of Illinois
Ave. and Yam st. yesterday after
noon. This is the beginning Of new
protection against fire. At the pres
ent it may be said that Vinita is prac-
tically without protection from fire in
either the business or residence por-
OF the city. This is a circumstance
that should not be allowed to 60 on.
1t is true we have volunteer fire
department but what can they do?
They lIaye no apparatus other than a
hand pump and five hundred feet Of
hose. DO the business men Of this
town propose to allow this 10 90 on
while they are paying a high rate Of
Insurance enough in a few years to
buy the equipment for a good fire de-
partmentg The boys who belong to
the volunteer company have no fire
suits to wear in practice and wculd
necessarily ruin other clothing in case
Of fire.
The merchants association or the
Commercial club should take this mat
ire up and see that Vinita has good,
well equipped department offire fight
ers BY the time the waterworkss system
is completed.

Crowds Will
Not Rush.

There was a decided falling
off in the registrations during
the later hours yesterday after
noon, so that there were only
$50 made during the day. This
falling off was due to the fact
that the crowd has learned
that those who register early
have no advantage in the draw
ings over those who get in last.
Many Of the people, when they
learn this, procure lodging, and
await until the rush is past,
preferring to register at their
leisure rather than stand in line
for hours. The rush will be-
come greater as the time for
registration grows shorter, but
there will be no sensational re-
cords. Those who are register
ing are conservative business
men who are after land and not
notoriety

Thing Men Not in Evidence

Promptly at nine o'clock this
morning the United States reg
istration office was opened.
Nearly fifteen hundred people
were in line at that time, the
line extending in double file
from the school building to far
into the street, while nearer the
door the crowd was twelve to
sixteen deep. The crowd was
good natured and orderly, and
jokes were freely passed.
/ The line began forming at $50
Sunday evening when Dan Rich
ter, the hustling correspondent,
secured the head Of the line and
persistently held it against all
comers for nearly sixteen hours.
G. B. Conlin, an attorney from
OWantonWa, Mimi, secured
second place at 6 o'clock andDes-
ter Lamont, of Lakota, third at
IL o'clock. At midnight the
crowd was increased to sixteen
and these, wrapped in blankets
and shivering from the chilly
night air, patiently awaited the
coming of morning and the
opening Of the doors. several
ladies joined the crowd in the
Iearly morning and these were
given places at the head Of the
line by the officials in charge
When the doors were opened ex.
actly at nine o'clock on time
telegraphed from Washington,

ing mass. The experience Of The
officers enabled them to avoic
any serious rush and the best 81
order was preserved. AS those

! Better Than
at Rosebud.

A prominent government
official connected with the reg
istration office talked pleasantly
with the Inter-Ocean represen-
tative Monday in reference to
the reservation opening. He is
an experienced man in reserva-
tion openings, ..having been at
Yankton in the Rosebud rush.
In discussing the number who
would probably register here
compared with the number
that registered for the Rosebud
lands, he said he did not ex-
pect the crowds here that were
congregated at the various reg
istration places there. Several
competing lines Of railroads ran
excursions from various points
in Iowa, Illinois and other east
ern states, and made the rates
| 50 very low that the trip be-
came a mere outing and thous-
ands of people, curious to see
| the rush at 4 reservation open
ing, went for that purpose

led for similar reasons. Here
There are none Of these tenn
porary induce cements. The

are those earnestly seeking land

lfide land seekers here is larger

WRECKERS MAY
SAVE FULTON
Steamer Lies on the Beach at
Port Oxford Where She Can Be
Reached During Low Tide

MARSHFIELD, Ore. Feb. 1S.-The
first authentic news regarding the wreck
OF the lumber-laden steamer Fulton,
which went ashore at Port oxford on
last Thursday, was received here to-
night
The steamer was short of coal and
had anchored in Port OrfOrd harbor,
where she hung for two days. The
wind finally broke her anchor chains
and her master, Captain Lee, seeing
hope Of saving her was lost, headed
the Fulton for the beach, where she
struck bow on After striking she
brought 10 and the seas began to sweep
her deck.
A boat was sent away from her in
command Of Second Mate Ingleson and
manned by two sailors TO take a line
TO the shore, but the boat was cap
sized by a piece Of lumber which had
broken from the Fulton's decklOad and
Ingleson was drowned.
The sailors clung to other pieces
from the deckload and We're carried to
the shore, where they were picked up
in an exhausted condition. A drift with
a line attached was finally fioated
ashore and the rest of the crew were
rescued on the life raft, two at a time.
The Fulton now lies high on the sea-
wall and can be reached at low tide.
il is believed she can be saved in fair
weather.

PROPOSES TO RESTRICT
RIGHTS OF THE JEWS
Commission Now Sitting at ST. Peters
burg Recommends Enforcement
of Stringent Regulations.

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Jewish
Chronicle says the commission now
sitting at st. Petersburg charged with
the revision of the laws in force against
the Jews proposes to recommend tina t
in ten provinces of Poland where
hitherto Jews have enjoyed unrestrict-
ed rights, these rights shall now be re-
stricted in every respect to conform 20
the regulations obtaining within the
pale Of settlement"
Under this ruling Jewish merchants
and professional men will be deprived
OF the right to employ Jewish clerks
as assistants. AS it is almost impos-
sible for Jewish merchants to carry on
their business without Jewish clerks
and assistants and as more than half
a million Jews reside outside the pale
Of settlement" few of whom if these
restrictions were enforced could re-
main, it is believed that an unex-
ampled emigration of Jews will result
If the recommendations Of the commit
tee are put into effect.
