gins In All the Burnley
Counties.

The first steps taken by the Burnley
Tobacco Society towards the deliv-
cry of the tobacco recently purchas-
ed by the American Tobacco Com

ATLANTIC FLEET
WEIGHS ANCHOR
Vessels Turn PrcWS TUESDAY, Tow
ards Home Waters Rous-
Ing Farewell.

Malila, Dec. with the long
homeward bound pennants of the veg
sells streaming in the breeze that
blew across Manila harbor Uncle
Sans great fleet of battleships start
ed from here today on the last leg Of
their cruise around the world. They
will stop at other ports before seeing
the Atlantic coast of the United
States rise before their eyes, but the
stay at Manila which ended today
was the last long sojourn of the fleet
before reaching home.
The last leavetaking of the milf
tary and civil officers stationed here
with the men Of the feet was a SIM
pie ceremony. In the presence Of an
assemblage of Americans and we'll
known natives Governor Smith in .
short speech extended to Admiral
Sperry and his men the best wishes
Of the islanders for a safe and pleas
ant voyage to the homeland. In reply
the admiral returned his thanks for
the hospitality shown to himself and
his men and expressed their wishes
for the continued prosperity and
peace of the islands under Governor
Smiths administration.
As the heavy smoke began to as
cend from the smokestacks of tho
Connecticut, flagship of the feet, and
the kicking up of the water under her
stern proclaimed the fact that her
propellers had begun to move for the
beginning of the end of the great
cruise, tremendous cheers and shouts
of good wishes in various tongues
arose from the crowds lining the
shores Of the bay.
1t seemed as though all Manila and
its suburbs had turned out to wish
the vessels godspeed. Not even the
enormous groups that lined the
shores Of Sydney harbor and gave
our vessels so royal sendoff at the
Australian port were more enthusiast
tic than the Manila crowds.

"Of all sad words of tongue
or pen, the saddest are these,
1t might have been. -

We hear some talk these days
of the advisability of establish
ing a fire limit in Cottonwo God.
This is a matter the citizens and
council should consider very
carefully before taking action on
it. For ourself we fail to see
why it should be established at
all. Nothing should be done now
to hold back the upbuilding of
our town, which will surely be
done if a fire limit is established.
There are not over four or five
business men in Cottonwood who
can afford to build brick build
ings and of those burned out
there will not be one in ten who
will be able to build with brick
inside of five to ten years. We
have no right to force these
people to build with brick or else
move outside the limit. What
we want to do is to encourage
building of all kinds and in the
soonest possible time. Let all
who are able build with brick
but let the others put up such
buildings as they can. If all will
put nice, tasty fronts on their
buildings our town will soon
begin to look natural again.
Cottonwood is not a town to
demand brick buildings and will
not be for years to come. Why
then start such a move when it
will hurt US most. What we
need is plenty of good wooden
buildings and a water system to
protect them. Had our water
system been put in a few years
ago our town would not now be
lying in ashes. Do a little self
protecting by completing that
water system and let every man
rebuild according to his ability.
Don't try to establish a fire limit
now. 1t will prove a detriment.
