ample IRE fighting apparatus and ar
excellent telephone service reduces
the chance for FIRE in Nezperce to
the minimum. However, people
cannot be too careful of their use Of
matches and of the condition of their

weather, when II can be watched
while burning. When a fiue becomes
clogged with suit it is, of course, LA
bic to burn out at any time, and this
is the most general source of fires

SUMMING UP.

Tomorrow friday will bring to
a close the year 1909 and while the
last day of a year has nothing visibly
different from most any other day,
yet to many it is somewhat retro
spective one. Most of US on this
day, prehaps more than on any other
look back to see what we have &C
complished during the year, whether
We have gained or lost in financial
, way, what improvements have been
made. what important events in his
tory have come to pass and recall
those who were with as a year age.
Looking back over what has been
accomplished on Nezperce prairie
during the past year, the advance
ment has been one of the greatest
Importance in its history. Not so
much in the Improvements that have
been made in the town or country.
not so much in who has come nor
who has gone, not so much for the
money that has been made, but for
the learning of the real value of
working together, the actual worth
Of the Nezperce land and the over
coming Of the one greatest drawback
to this parire the want of Transports
ton. These things combined are of
a greater value to the prairie thenthe
financial gain that could possibly be
made in one year for the futare of
this country.
While the railroad is not complete
ed at this time, the greatest obstacles
have been overcome and everything
rs now in readiness to begin the final
work Of laying the steel, and with
in few weeks the last doubts OF
those who have been inclined to be
somewhat skepical on this great pro-
blem will be removed, and with the
completion of the railroad to Nez-
perez, the greatest undertaking
which this prairie has yet encounter
ed, and perhaps the greatest that
it will encounter. will have been ac-
complished- Yet this only shows
what can be accomplished by
united action and though the troubles
have been many and the obstacles
great, we will emerge from this with
a greater victory and better prepar-
ed to meet harder difficulties in the
future than we would have been had
the accomplishment of these things
been easy.
