The first boy to enter was
Horace Tanner, Jr., of Murray.
The youngest boy so far entered
is Alfred T. Lund, of Paragonah,
Utah. He will not be ten years
old until July 7th.
Up to date 1877 entries have

A Menace.

What is considered a menace
to the town is the number Of
barns in the city. These are
usually found in a string down
the center Of each block and are
constructed of lumber, with but
very little fire protection.
II a fire started in a barn in
the southern end of the town,
and there happened to be a
breeze blowing IL would be next
TO impossible to save it, or the
adjoining barns, and ii would
seem that every precaution
should be taken TO avoid fire, or
the spreading of fire.
The experience we have had IN
the recent past shows that IL the
barns were covered with iron
roofing, although one caught fire
there would be some chance of
saving those adjoining. The
burning Of the Cedars hotel barn
was proof of this, as when the
fire was at the highest point but
very few sparks were thrown
into the air, because of the iron
roof. Had II not been for this
fact there would undoubtedly
have been other buildings catch
fire and be destroyed as the
water service was inadequate to
put out a fire of any size.
On the other hand, II will be
remembered that at the time the
barn belonging to Peter Fife
.uaa. h,as@saa- ~. tho .s.vassS. ass,.s.'~s
were thrown high into the air
and after lighting several blocks
away ignited inflamable stuff in
various places. In fact it was
hard for the army of workers to
keep the flames from spreading
in that section of the town.
Had the roof been composed of
iron there would have been much
less danger to surrounding build
ings.
Ii would seem, therefore, to be
wise precaution for all who
own barns To recover them with
iron roofing. not only for the
better protection of their own
property. but that of their neigh
bors. II would not cost an ex-
cessive sum. and the benefits
that would be derived in case of
fire would more than repay any
one for the cost of roofing with
iron sheeting.
Think the matter over. farm
ers, before the excessive dry
season comes upon us, and else
if you do not come TO the con-
clusion that il is better to guard
against fire. and the spread of
fire, before any conlagration
happens.
