SWEPT by
FIRE

OKLAHOMA CITY, 1. T., March f.
A fire yesterday afternoon driven by
a gale of wind that was terrific swept
over $4,000 acres of land in Oommanche
county, causing five deaths and damages
estimated at $25O,OOO. The fire start
ed on the military reserve near the
Wichita mountains and was famed
into blistering flames by wind that at
times was like hurricane.
As the fire swept down upon the
settled country, homes Were huridly
abandoned and stock turned loose and
all sought safety in fight. The atmos-
phere was filled with sitting smoke
and binding sand.
As near &C can be estimated, 2OOO
people are homeless and ruined and
many are in need of medical attendance
The country was dry and the grass
and stubbe furnished excellent fuel for
the flames.

RESERVOIR
ENGINEER GILL SAYS A REsER-
voIR OF ONE MILLION GAL
Ions CAPACITY rs NEEDED
ON EACH SIDE OF THE RIVER
-oNE-THIRD OF WATER SUP
POSED TO LEAK AWAY.

The sinking of the new we'll at the
water works is progressing rapidly
and the $4,000 appropriation will soon
be expended. This amount will be only
a starter. According to the estimate
of the city engineer, 1886, 900 more is
needed to complete the well. With
this appropriation fumes, pumps and
buildings can be erected. There seems
to be no immediate prospect of the
appropriation being made by the coun-
Gil. After the well proper is finished
if the project is successful, it is said,
the appropriation will be made.
"Unless two 1000, 900 gallon reser-
voirs are installed, one on the north
side of the river and one on the south
side, there will be lack of water for
city use when the sprinkling season
opens" said Mr.. Gill-thi morning. -
During the summer months, according
to Mr.. Gill, 81 l-3 per cent of the
water must be used for purposes other
than sprinkling, leaving 81 l-2 per cent
for the lawns. To supply the increased
demand the pumping station will have
to furnish 100000 gallons more than
the present amount, or 100000 gal
Ions. The pumps are capable of fur
nishing only l9,5OO,OOO gallons when
running to their full capacity, and it
is claimed by Mr.. Gill that on account
of leakage in the mains only 65 per
cent of the full capacity can be furnish
ed. This will come within a few
hundred thousand gallons of being the
bare amount needed but would leave
nothing extra for fire emergencies.
If the leakage can be stopped and
reservoirs provided, it is supposed the
city will have sufficient water for at
least a season or two.

THE RECALL.

In Los Angeles one of the members Of the city council named Davenport is feeling the effects of the nes law known as the recall This jaw was passed by the city council several years ago at the demand of the people who felt it was necessary that they should have the power to recall pub lie ofhcial who in their opinion had proven himself to be unworthy of fur ther trust.
 The law provides that the official term of any city official may be termi- mated by the presentation of petition signed by two-thirds of the tax paying constituents in his ward or district.
 Davenport incurred the ire of his constituents by vote in the city coun- cil on a bonding proposition, and the required petition has been filed for his retirement to private life, or from fur ther service in his present position
 Such law is good one. as it pro vides a law by which the people may rid themselves of an unfaithful or spec ulating public servant. .-A--.s if

the East was bad investment? The insinuation that the purchase of 4o00 copies of this work, which could not be duplicated for twice the amount, was a donation to this paper by the Board of Supervisors. is beneath our contempt.
 The Press can grumble, and infllct it's mouthings upon a long suffering public. but it can not erase the Figures from the memory of the taxpayers that in 1902 the tax rate of this coan- ty was s4.2o on each s100 valuation. and this year the amount has been cut to sS.20, and this at the hands of the present Board of Supervisors. After each tirade of misststements the taxpayers will be compelled to rec ognize that. notwithstanding the re duction in the tax rate. the present Board of Supervisors has erected a new court house. built branch county jails. improved the roads. and built new ones. and increased the assess ment roll more than two million dol lars.
 The territorial Board of Equaliza tion a few days ago announced that this year there would be reduction of 10 cents on each s100 for territorial purposes. To be consistent, the Ben son Press should now point ont to the territorial board whereby the territory could manage nicely on one-half oi that amount.
 The Review believes that it is the duty of a newspaper to point out where expenses of county government can be reduced, and to rebuke any extTava gance. but the Press must admit that after all it is the legislature to whom We must look for any material reduc tion in expenses. A saving could be effected by the abolishment of the Re form School at Benson, and the refusal of the legislature to make another ap propriation for it's maintenance Would the Press be in favor of retrenchment and reform to that extent? Then the ranger force might be cut off the list which was increased at the last session of the legislature at the special in stance of Governor Brodie. Does the Press favor that curtailment?
 The people of Cochise county will be ever grateful to the Press if it will point out where and how the govern ment of the county can be maintained and carried on according to law at a less rate than s32O for all purposes Take your proposed tax levy of s1.55 for county purposes, and show the people how far you can make the s90. 900 go during the year, but remember , the people who have children to send to school will not be satisfied with less than s55, ,000 for school purposes.

ROOSEVELT THE ISSUE.

It is the concensus of opinion among the leaders of the Democratic party 1 that the paramount issue in this cam paign is the personality and the record of Theodore Roosevelt. He is "It." He is the whole cheese" He jomi- mates the Republican party and be strides it like a colossus. Let us see if the record he has made will bear out the assertion: :.
 More absolutely than any of his pre- decessors in office ever did, he procur- ed his own nomination. He dictated the platform. He edited the nominat- ing speeches. He appointed the caE- paign manager. He moved his cabi- net officers like pawns to meet the cx- igeucics of his game of politics. By an act of executive usurpation he add ed many thousands of pensioners to a roll already containing million names, in order to make votes for him. self-tbe first open use ever made of the National Treasury as a party's campaign chest. ;.ls
 He has glorified war and threaten ed the future peace of the country by proposing Q bullying overlordship of the other countries in this hemisphere and offering to constitute the United States the Constable and Collector fer Europe in the rotten and irresponsible states of Central and South America | He has, by his recommendations to I Congress and his signature to its ex- i travagances, increased the national ex- penditures during his term to more than s2,50o, coo, ,000-an excess of s211,- i GOO, 900 over the expenditures during President McKinley's term (which in clude the expenses of the war with i Spain), and exceeding the cost of Pres ident Cleveland's second term by sssO ,O00,000
 He and the Congress of his party have converted a surplus of 0,0o0, 900 in 1900 to deficit of more than s40.- COG, 900 for the fiscal year just closed
 This extravagance is encouraged, and in fact made inevitable, by the i high tariff and the policies of war and imperialism of which he is the most strenuous champion. The greater the lreSenre from customs the greater the tefptation for lavish expenditures. The more colonies and dependencies we have the greater the need of more warships, more Notifications, more coaling stations, more soldiers. Every high pTotectionist is a jingo; and every i fLT a hi!h I,otectionist. These cardi- nal features of the Republican policy are interrelated and interdependent. They stand to each other in the rela- tioH of cause and effect.
 In view of this su-passing record Of Iextravagance. it is perhaps not strange, but will be regarded by the taxpayers as significant, that the words "econ- omy," "retrenchment" and reform" !" once the rule of the nation and the shibboleth of statesmen. do not once appear in his entire speech of accept ance-NOT ONCE!
