Editor Evening News:
After reading the following chipping
from todav's edition of your paper,
feel called nDon to refute the state
ment "That it was impossible to save
/ the Reynolds g. Hanson's store" TO
my mind there need not have been
! any loss beyond a few dollars had the
city a paid fire department Or even an
experienced head and ] feel confident
that you will agree with me fully,
when I relate the existing conditions
as l saw them.
"Chief of the Fire Department,
WorthinRton G. Comings. declared
himself this morning as perfectly sat
isfied with the way the fire was
handled
1t would have been impossible to
save Reynolds q Hanson's even if we
had n steamer he said, for the
blaze was in that cotton in the cellar
and .notlling would have Estopped it.
But with In steamer we could have
kept the blaze out of the Blue Front
and also Slobodien's s. 1t was q hard
fire to get Mt but the boys did good
work and deserve credit. "
When the boy who accidently start
ed the fire rushed up stairs for assist
ance, / was at tho head of the stairs.
He said "Mr. Macher, the cotton box
es are afire. l Immediately ran down
and found not II but both boxes on
fire. Mr.. Hanson also Mr.. Sharp tried
t, follow o minute or two later but
could not get down on account OF
smoke. I had the boys carry water TO
me and would have succeeded in con-
lining the fire to the cotton boxes had
the boys not become alarmed and run
out the back way. AS it was l remain
ed and fought it back until the smoke
drove me out, it had gained very little

guished with a garden hose. l fully ex-
