Reports from Silverton are that
the output of San Juan county for

the falling short in the output OF the

the burning of the mill last winter

MUST HAVE FIRE WALLS.

The fire last night and the fact thai
two great stocks of goods in adjoln.
ing buildings were saved. because
there was an eight-inch fire wall be-
tween the burning buildings and
those stocks, shows the absolute ne
cessity of maintaining fire walls AT
least every twenty-five feet within the
business portion of the city.
This seems very easy matter to
do, but the average individual does
not see the pressure brought upon the
authorities by citizens to override the
law. so long as their personal inter-
ests are at stake. These citizens are
ordinarily for the full maintenance
OF the law by other people, so long
as the law does not infringe upon
them. But when they can see profit
to themselves by securing from the
proper authorities concessions in
their favor they do so, 1t matters not
what the law may be.
This paper has maintained for a
long time past that there should be n
building inspector. He should have
coordinate duties with the peace of
hcers and whenever there was an at
tempt to openly violate the law, by
building a wall that did not confoI IN
10 the ordinance, the builder or own
er should be placed under arrest and
made to erect such wall in conform
ity with the building regulations Of
the city.
In the past FIVE years many build
ings have been erected, by good citi-
zens, wherein the law was not in the
least complied with, so far as the
character of the interior of those
buildings was concerned. Long street
ches of buildings have been erected
without fire walls between the bust
ness rooms. This is all wrong and
the citizen who obeys the law must
suffer because of its violation by his
fellow citizen.
There is only one right way to pro
ceed by council and that is to strictly
obey the letter and spirit of the law
play no favorites and not permit
themselves to listen to specious plead
ings of those who seek special fav-
ors of the law.

The bray of jackass and the voice
of a man has large degree of simil-
arity. when the voice of the man is
used in place of brains. Such individ-
uals belong to the class who. when
speaking privately to you, talk over
your shoulder to the multitude, be
Iieving that noise is argument. They
pretend to have some degree of virtue
in advocating reform, when they have
no other purpose than securing free
advertising. Usually they are harm
less, the public simply being amused,
at their antics, the individual in ques-
ton deceivlng himself with the idea
that he Is a h of a fellow.

There never was a fire in this OF
any other town, when somebody could
not be found, who could have per-
formed the work generally delegated
to the paid fire department, better
than the members of that organiza-
tion. Several individuals this morn
ing were blatently telling how the
fire should have been fought, who
during its progress We're quietly snooz
ing away in their beds it is to be pre-
sumed at all times that the fire de-
partmcnt will perform the best pos
sible service for the public. They
take their lives in their hands many
times during the progress of any large
fire and they try their utmost to save
property and keep the fire fiend un-
der control No city in the state can
boast of a fire department with so
much creditable service performed, as
the fire department of the city OF
Grand Junction. And this is the gen
eral testimony of all unbiased and
well thinking citizens.
