REPEAL OF TIMBER
ACT IS BLOCKED:
John Lind Votes for the Bills
Postponement- Gives His
Reasons.
BY w, w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. l4.-The bill for
the repeal Of the timber and stone act,
which passed the senate at the last
session of congress, was killed in the
house committee on public lands to-
day, when, by a vote Of 10 to 4, action
on the bill was indefinitely postponed.
Of the northwestern members of the
committee, Lind and Martin voted for
postponement, and Volstead for imme-
date consideration. Governor Lind
explained his vote, saying: "The great
er part of the fraud and robbery in
connection with the taking Of public
lands is done under the scrip legislation.
At the last session the house passed
bill restricting the rights Of forestry
scrip already issued,: and ,forbidding
the issuance of more scrip on the
same account, but that bill sleeps the
sleep Of death in the senate committee
on public lands.
There are millions Of acres Of this
scrip outstanding, mostly in the hands
of the railroads and the lumber com
panies, and the only thing that prevents
them from gobbling all the timbered
land in the United States is the tim
Der and stone act, which permits indi-
viduals to take up timber land.''

IN PERILOUS PLACE
Falling Debris Barely Missed Men on
the Water Tower,

George Gammins and Bob Davis, Of
station A, are two of the heroes Of
last night. They were on the water
tower when the Boutell wall fell with
crash. From their vantage point the
men were direct ting a powerful stream
of water into the roaring flames, when
the walls began to- reel and every one
knew that in few minutes more they
would fall. The tower was in the path
Of the falling wall, but the .fremen
stuck to- their posts. When the wall
fell it barely missed them, Davis turn
ing the nozzle to avoid the falling ma
sonry. One brick in the wrong place
would have made a vacancy on the
fire departemtn rolls. The tower was
put out of commission.

Chief Canterbury today. cit was a
bad fire and think we were lucky in
keeping it from crossing First avenue.
If the Powers building had ever caught
fire, nothing could have kept the flames
from crossing Nicollet avenue, and no
one knows where they would have
ended.
"The fire had a good start in the
Peck building when we got there, and
as soon as the air got to the fire it was
folly to think of saving the building.
The runway connecting the third floor
of the Peck building with that of the
Boutell building gave the fire chance
to cross and we were helpless.
COZ course, it is easy to criticize,
but l think we ought to be happy that
the fire was brought under control be-

How the Apparatus Came Out.
The fire was discovered at 1000 p.m.,
when a still alarm was sent to fire head
quarters, which called out the apparatus
in station A, engine company 3, and the
insurance patrol. At 1912 box SO was
pulled, which summoned Engines 6, J.
and 10; truck 8, and the watertower.
The second alarm was sent in at 1929,
which called out engines II, 4, 5, 9 and
Is; trucks 2 and 4 and chemical 8. At
1886, Chief Canterbury sent in the 3-11
alarm, and to this call engines IA, 8, ~,
2 and 20, truck 5, responded. At HOP
Chief Canterbury brought out on special
calls, truck 6 and engines 18 and 10.
Twenty minutes later he sounded
the general alarm which called out
every piece Of apparatus in the city.
In addition engine companies 4 and Q
were sent from st. Paul, attended by
their hose carts.
