TIE, FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Interesting Meeting. Held at tho
 Santa Cruz Club.

A recent meeting of the No. gales Fire Department, held at the Santa Cruz Club is of in- tere.st to our readers as showing the high efficiency of our home fire fighters, and the personal of the organization.
 As at present constituted, the officers both of the department as such and of the two companies which together make up the De- partment, are as follows:
 Honorary Chief, Captain l.. w. Mix; Chief -Bracey Curtis; First Assistant Chief, J. B. Bristol; Second Assistant Chief, H. J. Karns; Steward, H. R. Ren- shaw.
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
 Bracey Curtis, President; IT. M Clagett, Vice President; c. M. Rathbun, Secretary; J. B. Bristol, A. $. Noon, H. R. Ren- shaw, E. J. Pellegrin, c. D. Karns.
 PAPAGO HOSE co. NO. 1.
 H. M. Clagett, Foreman; G. H. Fiedler, 1st. Asst. Foreman; J. P. Grace, 2nd. Asst. Fore man; l.. H. Watkins, Treasurer; H. R. Renshaw, Secretary. PAPAGO ENGINE COMPANY.
 A. $. Noon, Foreman; w. E.. Karns, 1st. Asst. Foreman; E. E. Noon, 2nd. Asst. Foreman; E. J. Pellegrin, Secretary Treas urer.
 Those present from each com- pany at the meeting were:
 Hose Curtis, Rathbun, H. B. Hannah, Grace, Taylor, Cumming, F. H. Hannah, Frank Fitch, Thompson, Renshaw, H. Neumann, Clagett, Creighton, Watkins, c. Marsteller, Burner.
 Engine GOA. s. Noon, E. J. Pellegrin, Chenoweth, J. 1T. Briclzwood, Jr., B. E.. Noon, w. E. Karns, Wood, Hale, c. D. Karns, Arthur Peck, R. H. Karns, Hudgin, Jund.
 The Department has for a year or so past had under advisement the building of Fire House on
 
 their lot at the intersection of Crawford street and Grand Ave-, but have deferred definite action owing to the unsettled state of business in the city and the con- sequent question as to the likeli- hood of being able to rent part of the building for commercial purposes; however, as the De- partment is in good financial condition and is now properly incorporated, it is more than likely that this building will be put up at no distant day.
 It is said by those who know the work of the various fire de- partments throughout the terri tory that the work of the vOlun- teers in NOgaleS, in handling fires with quiclhness and skill is second to none, even including the paid fire departments of other Arizona towns.

One of the oldest cotton plants in New England, the WilhamsVille Man ufacturing Company of killingly, which was established in 1927, and whose product, the famous "Williams- vile sheeting,' has been known from ocean to ocean for many generations, is about to change hands, and the At woods, who established and controlled the mills, have taken up the manufac- ture of bull wheels for the jewelry trade. For two years this mill, with it's 5,0o0 spindles and 64S looms, has been idle because it could not manu- faeture fabrics at profit with its old machinery.
 It Is understood that the necessary papers for the transfer of the property are about to be signed, and that the new interests will completely remodel the plant and install all new machi. nery for the manufacture of fabrics of finer count, although some of the Williamsville sheetings will be manu- faetured.
