The Lesson OF Fires.

The burning Of Cornell and it's
consequent calamity to the business
interests of the merchants and the
town ought to DO q lesson to every
young and growing city similarly
situated. The fire Of Tuesday in a
few hours destroyed the fruits Of toll
of perhaps years of energetic labor by
ambitious men. The courageous spirit
OF push and hustle which has ema.
mated from Cornell will doubtless
cause better buildings to be estab-
lished, and that in a few months it
will be a better or more thriving
town than ever before. But this does
not lessen the fact that many un-
fortunates who are unable to face the
obstacles which this setback will
create, must Of necessity be pushed to
the wall, and many will likely 20
down and out.
1t is to be hoped that the diemay
OF the calamity will not stide the
ambition Of any of the unfortunate
citizens Of the little town.
We wish to express the sympathy
Of the citizens Of Ritzville to these of
Cornell, and trust that they will with
true American pluck and determine
ton waste no time in vain regrets, but
that the old will be replaced with new,
Ind that time and natural prosperity
which everywhere is the result OF
American skill and labor will come
n abundance to wipe out all but the
memory OF its present plight.
To the citizens OF Ritzville the
distress of our neighbors should
.waken US, and should prove the on.
ctmsnt of some new regimes in the
vay of fire protection. The holo.
aust which wiped out Cornell could
ave been averted with proper fire
rejection.
While Ritzville is solidly built with
many brick blocks, possessing every
recaution snd ability which would
revent similar occurrence, yet it is
he unexpected that often happens.

ut ample fire protection. The citizens
