BUCKET BRIGADE
GOT CREDIT
We Had No Desire to
Detrdct Credit From
Fire Fighters.

In AN article contributed to this
paper this week by IAN Observer" it
is put forth that in our ''special' of
last Friday morning, we claimed that
it was due to the "Fire Company"
that the Fricke building was saved
from the big fire, thus preventing the
destruction of the southern end of
town. In all fairness to ourselves we
wish to make a correction and put
forth facts in the proper light.
In the first place, we never stated
in our special" that the Fire Com
pany" saved the Fricke building.
What we did state was that the stream
was played upon the threatened
building, which was an error. In the
next paragraph it says that "every
available bucket was brought into
use and "Bucket Brigade" formed
by the guests and others staying at
the Ritchford hotel and a systematic
effort was put forth to save the Fricke
building. Mrs. Ritchford, with the
assistance of other ladies, worked
like trojans carrying water"
Both members of this firm worked
at the fire until 8 a. m. and upon ,re-
turning to the Office, it dawned upon
them that it was publication day with
all the papers printed and not one
word about the fire. THE paper was
printed about four hour before the fire
was discovered.] We Immediately
set to work with our clothes dripping
with water and our bodies aching
from the long fight, to issue an extra,
and give to our readers a detailed ac-
count of the fire which was still burn
ing but under perfect control. From
the information gathered while fight
ing the flames, our story, telling of
the most disastrous fire that ever oc-
cured in Carson Valley, was woven,
with no attempt to verify statements,
more than the block was DESTROYED.
In less than two hours we had the
special on the street-remember we

BEES NOT
infected

There has lately been considerable
agitation relative to the bees of the
Valley. Reports are to the effect that
they were all diseased and that it
would require a thorough cleaning
out of the hives to put the bees in a
condition.
In conversation with beeman who
has probably had more to do with bees
than any other person in the Valley,
1t was learned that the stories of all
the bees being diseased was not strict
ly founded on facts. He had examin-
ed great many hives, and in very
few instances had he found any hives
that were effected, and thvt with tax
ing the matter in hand before they
got any further, all the bees in the
Valley could be put into healthy
with very little loss to the
owners: The gentleman expressed
An opinion, however, that legislation,
looking toward compulsory sanitation
of the bees would be of great benefit
to the beeman, as well as insuring an
first-class honey.

out anyone giving it more than oc-
casional attention when their mood
brought them that way. Last Friday
morning when the machine was taken
out of the fire house there was not the
least bit of oil on the bearings and
the suction pipe support had slipped
down, thus drawing the pipe together
and preventing a good flow of water
coming through the hose at a time
when most needed. 1t is even stated
that for for time one of the lines of
hose was practically put out of COM
mission owing to chip getting
caught in the nozzel. This is an
emergency that night happen at any
time and could not properly be at
tributed to lack of attention of the ap-
paratus. The fire engine is piece of
machinery that is absolutely necessary
to the towns safety and should be
taken care of and handled by only
those who train for the work. No
kind of machinery can ..be worked in
diligently without some experience
in its handling, and above all things
fire engine should be handled in the
best possible manner and to the best
advantage during fire.
The citizens of Gardnerville should
get together without much delay and
devise ways and means to reorganize
the company, and when the reorgan-
ization is a complished, to all put
their shoulder to the wheel and per-
feet the company to make it most
effective when their services are most
needed
AS far as the hose is concerned it is
in good condition and will do service
for long time to come, but we
haven't enough. In the efforts of the
men at the hose to reach the Fricke
building the morning of the fire, it
was found that the hose would not
reach, and in consequene it never got
there, but fortunately the building is
low structure and those noble men
and women who worked SO faithfully
to save it, managed to get enough
water on it to keep it from taking
fire. Had it been tall building like
Larson's, there would have been no
chance to have saved it,
The Record Courier has no desire to
criticise the work done, as all worked
with might and main to save all the
property that could be saved, and it
is doubtful whether any more could
have been saved if the company had
been organized and in first-class work.
ing trim. We simply present the SUBJ
ject to show that there is great danger
in continually delaying the organiza-
tion of good fire company.
There has been meeting after meet
ing and all have ended exactly the
same, by having the business put off
until tomorrow. Now that we have
the doleful lesson of the fire fresh at
hand, let us get together and do some
thing.

HOWE KNOCKED OUT

Wichita, May 10.-Rain stopped the
Topeka-Yyichita game on Tuesday
afternoon after the first half of the
sixth inning had been played with the
score s. to 6 in favor Of the White Sox.
According to the rules the score re-
verted back. to what It was at the end
Of the fifth inning. at which time it was
even, to 6. The contest was there
fore a draw and viii have to be play
ed at some other time.
The feature of the contest was
knocking Bill HOWE out of the box in
the first inning. Roy Bevis, his old
Eeammate knocked a home run. Muir
ray. Holland and OLeary all got sin
giles IN this opening round. The little
tW3rler was plainly in the air and he
was taken out by Captain Abbott and
Nicholas Carter sent in as relief guard.
Carter allowed che Jobbers to make
but five more hits. He struck out six
men and issued but one compliment
ary-
on the firing line of the Jobbers was
Jimmy Cravens and he pitched win
ming ball but had very poor support
Six big errors were made behind him.
He allowed but seven hits and these
were scattered. Out of its eight runs
Topeka earned but two. which shows
the ragged work which was done be-
hind Cravens.
President Shfveley was again a spec
tator at the game. He left for Kansas
City on Tuesday night and win attend
the Topeka a-Guthrie opening at Topeka
on Friday.
Quigley distinguished himself with
brilliant stop off high drive from Mac
Lear's bat. 1t looked like an impos-
sfble feat.
France, an old time ball player, was
the umpire. Regan was to have come
from Guthrie and Owens was to have
returned to the territory but Jimmie
did not show up in time. It is probable
that owens viii never umpire in the
