How much longer are we to be without protection from fire? This is the most important matter con- fronting the people of Wrangell today. A little less than year ago the town was almost stricken from the map as the result of inad- equate fire protection. Over an hundred thousand dollars worth of homes, stores and goods were de- stroyed when the expenditure of one twentieth of that amount for a system of water works would have prevented the loss. Less than two weeks ago a fire was discovered just in the nick of time to avert another holocaust. In this case the fates were favorable, as, had the fire one more minutes headway, it could not have been stopped until its flames had licked up every scrap of inhammable substance in it's path. We can not hope to be ever so fortunate as to have things in our favor as in the case of this last warning. Immediately after fire the enthusiasm in regard to getting more fire protection is intense, but this enthusiasm is soon forgotten for the rush of busihess and the question is given no more thought. Did you ever notice the difference between talking" of doing a thing and doing" the thing by digging down into the old weasel skin and starting the thing along2 We'll, there is a difference; but we pro- pose to offer $25 to start a popular subscription or stock company for the establishment of B system of water works, the kind of system to be decided by a majority vote of the subscribers. Twenty five dol 3.2 per cent of the assessed valua- ton of this office. Let every man owning property do the same, and we can have a good water system,
