FIRE ENGINE TEST.
After Two Days It Is Considered Salts
factory.

The District authorities shortly after
noon today completed their test of the fire
engine built by the Mott Fire Engine Com
pany Of Minneapolis. The test was COM
menced at the foot of I'd street southeast at
0 o'clock yesterday morning and continued
till yesterday noon. and again at o O'Clock
this morning the test was resumed. The
trial Of the engine was made under direc-
ton Of Chief Engineer VIM. T. Belt and
Chief Machinist Robinson. and Commission
er Marfarland and other District officials.
particularly those of the fire department,
witnessed the work of the engine during
the period of trial.
The officials in charge Of the test state
that the work Of the engine was very salts
factory and it IS anticipated that the Com
missoners Will award the contract to the
Mott company for furnishing the two fire
engines to be purchased by the District
out Of funds available since July 1. last.
The Mott Fire Engine Company. it is
stated. is an independent company, and Is
not in the fire engine trust. 1t has been
In existence only three years, however, and
the officials here were not familiar with
the engines manufactured by the company.
in fact, the District authorities were not
aware of the existence of the company I'M
til few days before bids for furnishing
engines for the local fire department were
called for. The, specifications had been
prepared and were about to be advertised.
when agent of the Mott company called
on Commissioner Mcfarland and requested
a chance to bid on the engines.
In order to give the company an equal
opportunity with other concerns to bid on
the apparatus, 1t was necessary to change
slightly the specifications. This was done
and the company submitted proposal The
bid Of the Mott company was the lowest
received. but since the company is COM
paratively new and the officials were not
familiar with its engines. 1t was deemed
advisable to test Its engines before award
ing the contract.
The company agreed readily to the propo-
sition and sent an engine to Washington
for the purpose. 1t Is stated that the Dis
trict will save a considerable sum OF money
by purchasing the two engines from this
company.

Herein is set forth the great fact
that all men are potentially children
of God. Those who receive Christ
have gained the right to become
actually the children of God. The
right or privilege to become citi-
zen of the United States and the
actual naturalization are widely
different. After taking ont the

of allegiance we do not enjoy the
privileges and immunties of the
law.

but if the faculty lies dormant and
undeveloped that child differs from
no other. If the infinite love of an
Infinite Father has placed it in our
power and given to us the right to
become His children in the Gospel
SENSE and we neglect or refuse to
exercise that right, the blame rests
upon us The sluggard works his

notice that some of the editors

is very discourteous. When you

1t is well to say nothing at all
about it unless you can say some
thing good. That reminds me OF
n story. A man was once given n
complimentary ticket to see a show.
1t was quite as bad as il was posi-.
blc to be, and while those all
around the man hissed and groaned,
he applauded literally. Finally
between the acts he went out, and
when he returned, in the opening
of new net he was ready to Join
those who hissed the show. When
asked the reason for his change of
attitude, he said that he had been
given free ticket aud he did not
think it right to complain about
what he snw, but after he went
out and bought ticket 10 come in,
he had the privilege then of ex.
