Robert Walker and William Mann
returned last Friday night from two
weeks investigating tour of that part
Of Canada which has been alluring so
many of our citizens lately. They
are thoroughly disgusted with the
country and expose in few words the
glaring misrepresentation that are
made of a semi barren waste of land.
Having money to invest in any
proposition that offered a safe induce

to Calgary few weeks ago in search
of anything that would make com

Calgary and spent several days look

people are taking up about 70 miles
east of Bassano.

soil over almost the entire stretch of

Grangeville Firemen Elect New
Officers
J, / 0vERMAN PRESIDENT
Report of Hydrant Committee
Shows Lack Of HydrantS

The Grangeville Volunteer Fire
men met last Thursday night and
after transacting a great deal Of busi-
ness elected new set of officers for
the ensuing term Of six months.
The main order of the evening was
the report of different men in each
ward who were so-called "hydrant
committees.
In Ward No. l there were three
hydrants and two more needed. In
Ward No. 2 there were already two
and three more needed. The ward in
the new southwestern part of the city,
known as Ward No. 3, had only one
hydrant and as far as the report of j.
|. Overman and other competent men
went the people in that vicinity need
ed at least four hydrants. They need
one near Hardy's residence, near
Schueller's, near Coram's and also in
the Deardorf neighborhood. Ward
No. has three hydrants and should
have two more. The hydrant com
mittee was instructed by President
Ayres to take the fire and water COM
mittee of the city council over the
ground and decide upon the number
of hydrants needed and the place to
locate them and to report to the com,
mittee on petition to the city council.
This committee would then take the
matter up with the "town dads ano
ask for the extra fire protection.
This is an important matter and
should be encouraged by all business
men and should be carefully investi-
gated by the council. The hydran'
committees are not going to ask fol
hydrants recklessly but after careful
deliberatlon are going to ask only fol
those that they think are absolutely
necessary for the better fire protection
Of our city. There are at presen
nearly fifty Of the best residences il
the city in Ward No. 3 without th'
least excuse of hydrant. Severa
disastrous fires in this berg shoult
prove that we need something ant
that something could be summed VI
up in the one word "hydrants.' .
| J. |. Overman was then appointed
on the committee of petition to tn
council in place of Robert Amber VIII
resigned.
| The following new officers wer
elected:
J. |. Overman, president; L. I
Brady, vice president; Allen Mclean
secretary; Norman Adkison, treasu1
er; David Sassenbery, chief; Harr
Wood, assistant chief.
The captains Of each company wi
remain the same until appointed.
A motion was made and passed th
house that the firemen ask the cit
council for twenty rubber coats an
helmets. This was done in accordanc
with a decision already reached by th
city fathers.
VIM. Wykoff and Howard WORE
were admitted as new members.

Bulkins, the real estate agent who
made the sale, attributes the whole
credit of the transaction to his own.
shrewdness. But, then, Bulkins is one
of those persons who would cheerfully
call upon the entire universe to prove
that he (Bulkins) was favored above
all other men in that respect. Does
the sun shine? Bulkins knew it would
and for his profit. There comes
storm. Bulkins appropriates it, wrings
a percentage therefrom and winks con-
idently at the solar system whose op-
erations are conducted for his especial
and particular benefit.
Il can sell anything, anywhere"
This was Bulkins' philosophy, his re-
ligion, his declaration of faith in him
self
And of course Bulkins knew the hab-
its and ways of Cherub Devine. Ev-
cry one knew them. Any one-the
man in the street, the clerk behind
the counter, the very newsboy at the
curb-could tell you all about Cherub,
give you his entire history, from the
time he started his career as office
boy for Chicago stockbroker until he
evolved into the many millioned specu-
iator whose audacious methods were
at that moment stirring things up In
Wall street. Each and every one could
have told you exactly the kind of man
he was and missed the mark widely,
for such men are not SO easily esti-
mated
Perhaps 1t was this, visible In his
wide set blue eyes, with the flashes Of
light behind; perhaps 1t was only the
pink chubbiness of his cleanly shaven
lace, which earned him the name OF
Sherub, designation applied impair
TALLY by pert messenger boys, irrev-
erent brokers and staid heads of great
corporations. He had been christened
otherwise, Of course, and possibly
Cherub was inappropriate when you
consider all that he was or seemed to

open window which looked out across

ornate front of the New York Stock
