OAKLAND ENDORSEMENT
The following letter from prominent
Oakland pastors has been received by
DR.. Kincaid of the executive commit
tee:
San Francisco, Cal, April 81. 1905.
Dear Sir-Oakland rejoices with Ho-
nolulu in the Evangelistic movement to
be conducted by DR.. Ostron. He was
with us in March, and won COLDER
opinions from all our people. He is q
great preacher, and his plans work sue
cessful1y if he has the right of way.
He stimulates Christians and wins sin
ners to Christ.
The results of the entire movement
in Oakland were more than satisfac-
tory. The prayer-meetings are full to
overffowing, the regular services SPLEEN
didly supported, and more than 500 ac-
cessions already reported, with more to
follow.
The financial pans of Dr. Ostrom and
DR.. Chapman made the raising OF
money easy. We paid out all our ex-
penses without a dollar deficit and in
addition gave generous offerings to the
evangelists, who deserved by their I'M
firing service all they, received.
We commend DIR. Ostrom and family.
Mr.. Hills, and Mr.. and Mrs. Butler to
yo3r kind consideration. You will find
them genuine and their presence with
you will prove benediction.
Wishing you every blessing in the
great work you are undertaking. we
are,
Respectfully yours.

FIRE

At a meeting Of Hope Hook and
Ladder Co. No. l, held on July 9, 1901,
the town was divided into Fire Dis
tricts and a Code of Signals was
adopted in order to facilitate the loca-
ton of fires in the future. The town
was divided as follows:
District No. No. AL that portion
of town bounded north by Bellevue
street, west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion of
town bounded by Bellevue street on
the south, Union street on the west,
and corporation line on the north and
east.
District No. 3-The portion of town
lying west Of Union street, and south
Of Bellevue street, with the corpora
ton line as the south and west boun-
dairy.
District No. 4.-Thc portion of town
bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east Union, north and west by cor
poration line.
The signals adopted were short taps
to indicate the district in which the
fire is located, followed by a rapid
alarm, same to be repeated until gen.
eral alarm is given.
To illustrate, should an alarm be
sounded for District No. 3, first three
taps, one, two, three, followed by rap
i'd alarm, and repeat.
