SHALL WE HAVE FIRE PROTECTION!
A Single Fire Plug Saved Thousands
of Dollars Worth of Property

The question of fire protection is an
old one, and a week ago would nave
been considered thread bare, but the
recent Obstructive fire has given the
snbiect new life. Welsh needs fire
protection to day as badly as she
ever did. The presumption that
lightning never strikes twice in the
same place is not good theory to
work upon in the matter OF fires.
The fact that Welsh has just suffered
q great loss from fire does not justify
the presumption that she is immune
from anv future loss of this kind.
The value of even limited protec-
ton was demonstrated Sunday morn
ing, when the fire, after resisting
every effort to check its progress, by
means of bucket brlgades, was finally
checked in a single building when it
came within the reach of q hose at
tatched TO the fire plug in front OF
the VanNess Machine Shop. There
is not shadow of donbt but that
this single plug Of Mr.. VanNess'
water system was the means of check
ing the spread of fire from the Robin
son building to the Welsh Furniture
Store, from which point it would have
laid in waste 100000. worth OF prop
erty. 1t is equally true that a q
inch hose attached to the Southern
Pacific pump, permission for which
was offered by that company several
years ago, would have saved many
thousands OF dollars worth of proper
ty on the north side OF town, 1t is
also highly presumptive that if the
town of Welsh had owned 1000 feet OF
fire hose, and had attached the same
to either or both the VanNess Pump,
and and the Southern Pacific Pump,
the recent fire could have been con.
fined to the block in which it origi-
mated.
Gentlemen of Welsh, shall we have
fire protection?

Good Friday a day of Fishing.

Everybody that could beg or borrow
fishing tackle was out after the tinny
occupants of the deep, Good Friday.
The day was ideally perfect, and the
cares of business were thrown aside
for the time and the spirit of pleasure
held sway. Several Sunday school
picnics were held during the day,
while numerous smaller parties hied
themselves to the woods and
streams. According to report fish
did not bite we'll but that did not
seriously detract from the enjoyment
of the occasion. A combination con-
slsting of an ideal day, picnic din
ner such as the ladies of Welsh know
how to prepare, green woods, and a
Jolly crowd are a sufficient guarantee
of a good time whether the fish bite
| or not.

COUNCIL FIXES FIRE LIMITS.
Greats Fire District of IL Blocks, In
Which Buildings Must Be Com.
posed of Brick or ether Fire
Proof Material.

Before the ruins of Sundays fire
had ceased smoldering, the city coun
ell together with about fifty of the
representative citizens met in the re-
ceptiOn room of the Masonic hall to
consider the advisibiity of creating
a fire district, IN order to avoid a re
pititiOn of the recent calamity. The
subject Establishing a district within
which no buildings could be erected
except such as were composed Of fire
proof materials, was discussed at
length both by members of the coun-
Gil and other citizens and business
men as well. While it was conceded
that such a district would be of the
utmost benefit in the long run, it was
maintained by many that such re-
quirements at the present time would
work an uncomfortable hardship upon
number of prospective builders.
Several of the leading citizens, includ.
ing three of the four cOuncilmen pres
ent had either let, or We're considering
the letting of contracts for the erec-
ton of corrugated iron buildings,
feeling that they could i'll afford to
build with brick at the present time.
Those who were ia favor of the
establishing of such district, point.
ed out the fact that the lowering of
the insurance rate in brick building
would materially aid in defraying the
additional expense of the brick build
ing over what another building would
cost. They also pointed out that in
the present disaster, that by the ut
most efforts on the fire fighters it was
impossible to check the progress of the
flames as long as frame structures
were exposed, but that when the flames
reached the VanNess shop, made of
brick, they were stopped, although
this building was standing within but
a few feet of large two story frame
building which was burned to the
ground. 1t was shown that in this
instance the owner of the brick build.
ing which was in the direct line of the
fire not only suffered no loss himself
but his building was the means of ar
resting further spread OF the fire in
that direction, thereby saving thous.
ands of dollars worth of property to
others.
After both sides Of the question had
been quite thoroughly discussed. the
proposition of establishing the dis.
trict was put to vote, and as sever
al of the councilmen were not salts
fed with the limited time afforded for
investigating the matter, the measure
was defeated, by a vote of three to
one.
Ine IoliOWlns morning mayor a.
T. Jones, having considerable more
data at hand called the council to-
gether for a reconsideration of the
proposition. After the matter had
been gone into more thoroughly than
it had been the previous evening, the
question was again put to vote, and
the establishing OF the fire distric
carried unanimously,
The new district contains twelve
blocks as follows, Blocks, No. /, 2,
8, Il, IA, Is, ., "a, Is, %, 40, Al.
This is a wise move on the part of
the council, and is one that will do
more to create confdencein the future
possibilities of our city than any
other thing that could have been
done.

kind is one that cannot he measured

show our appreciation, we will furn-
