NOT so SAD
Rains Do Not Trouble Skag-
 way as Others

That the rainfall at Skagway is less than at any of the other Southeastern Alaskan towns is conceded by all, but it is doubtful if it Is generally known to what extent that Is true. For the pur- pose of comparison, last month presents a striking illustration of the point.
 The rainfall at Ketchikan last month is given by the Ketchikau Journal as having been l7,5O inches.
 The rainfall for Skagway for October was {. 5.36 inches. The rainfall was the highest for one month that has fallen here in some time.
 The anual rainfall at the other towns ot Southeastern Alaska is above 50 inches in each instance and in some of them it goes up to twice that. The record at Sksgwsy for the last three years is as follows:
 l9O3-24. .54 inches.
 l9O4-22. 54 inches.
 l9O5-l7.2S inches-less than one months record at Ketchikan.
 The record for 1906 has not been completed. Up to Nov, lst 1t was l9.3l inches-an exceptionally wet year it has been too.
 These figures include melted snow as well as rain.

Three Thousand Shy.

The committee that has been at
work raising the $4,000 bonus for the
electric line find the sum is yet short
about $4,000.
So far only about S22. 900 has been
subscribed and the field has been
pretty well gone over. The committees
that have been out have worked hard
and have done everything within their
power to raise the money 1t seems
that We are right now up against it.
Mr.. Granger says he will not, in fact,
can not build the line unless the full
S25.000 is raised and placed in the
bank. He says his contracts with the
many people are such that the full
sum must be on deposit before he can
place an order for any material.
Mr.. Granger continues to be enthusi-

never had doubt about the raising OF
this money

S22. 900 has been raised and Mr.. Gran

less the S25.000 is raised.

The FIRE Department
IS FOUR YEARS OLD

wednesday was the fourth anniver-
sary of the establishment of the Canon
City fire department as a paid organi-
zatfon. Captain c. T. Chapman has
been with the department since its
organization. Ray johnson has been
fireman for two years and four
months. Walter G. Richards has been
driver for two and one half years. He
was a member of the department when
it was first organized and was employ
ed for nearly two years. He returned
to the department about a year ago.
No record has been kept of the value
of the property endangered by fire, but
until the incendiary fires of the past
three months the property loss has
been small indeed.
The first year the loss was a trife
less than $4,000, the biggest fire Of the
year being The Record building. The
second year $500 covered the entire
loss. The third year it was a trifle
over $500. Last year owing to the in
1endiary fires the losses win reach al
most $4,000
The biggest fire was the burning of
the Cripple Creek shops This fire
gained considerable headway before
the department was notified. There
is an alarm box near the shops, but
the person who tried to give the alarm
did not understand the workings of
the box. He broke the glass and open
ed the door, and, thinking this was
c. fasl
1t was not till fifteen minutes later
that the department received a tele-
phone call. Notwithstanding the tardy
notice the department succeeded in
protecting some of the most valuable
machinery and an engine that was
ready for the trucks
During the four years the depart
ment has answered ninety-one calls.
To the promptness and efficiency OF
the department the town is indebted
for its freedom from serious losses.
Captain Chapman has enjoyed the
most pleasant relations with his men.
the volunteer department and the city
officials. They all have the utmost
confidence in his ability and respond
readily to his wishes.
The same fire team. Chief" and
Charley" fine big gray horses, has
been used since the establishment Of
the department The team cost the
city $3.50. The hose cart cost $500
and the alarm system about the same
amount. Everything about the fire
house has been given the best of care.
Except for natural deterioration of the
hose the equipment is as good as new.
