Disastrous Prairie Fire Near Grand River

On last Monday morning a
prairie fire was discovered several
miles east of town, and burning
rapidly. Quite a number of par
ties went out from here in automo-
biles to assist in controlling the
flames. but owing to the high wind
then prevailing, and the rank grass
covering that section. but little
could be done. On account of the
wind back firing was rather danger
Gus, and work on the sidelines was
difficult. On Monday night the
fire could be seen still burning far
to the north of town. A large ter
ritory was burned over, but fortu-
1lately there appears to have been
no loss OF life, and with the ex-
ception of some stacks of hay in
the path of the fire, none of the
homesteaders suffered any loss.
The fire appears to have started
from an Indian camp about three
miles west of Trail City and just
north of the Milwaukee track, and
was carried north and west by
high wind, covering a large terri
tory. consisting principally of In
dian lands, and passing north and
east Of most of the homestead lands.
A homestcader's house near Twin
Buttes, about ten miles northeast
of town, lay directly in the path OF
the flames but escaped.
However, it was a close call for
many llomesteders, but fortunately
the wind did not change during the
progress OF the fire, else there must
have been a heavy loss to settlers
and many lives endangered.
1t reminds us that we cannot be
too careful about starting fires at
this season Of the year. when the
rank growth Of grass is turning
brown and the winds SO variable.

OUR CITY PLANT
Does Failure to Render the People Report Mean
That Ii Is Losing Money?

The people of Ashland own the
city water system and the municipal
lighting plant and are therefore en-
titled to full and detailed state
ment of its financial condition at the
close of each months business.
The fact that such a monthly re-
port has been repeatedly asked for
by our newspapers and that no ex-
PLANTATION has been given as to why
IL is withheld, together with the Gus
tom adopted by our council of going
into executive" session when mat
ters connected with the peoples prop
erty are under discussion, has caused
a serious doubt as to the true condi-
tion of affairs.
Publicity in public affairs is always
necessary, and even though the truth
may sometimes hurt, IAN honest con-
fession is good for the soul"
This is the day of the peoples rule
and the laws effective through the
medium of various commissions puts
"all cards on the table" All cor
porations have been quick to GRASP
the situation, and instead of stub.

Teacup Club Entertains.

The Teacup Club of the NJ. E.

afternoon by Mrs. W. A. Turner on
North Main street. Those assisting
Mrs. Turner were Mrs G. F. Billings,
Mrs. Ralph Billings, Mrs. F. F. Whit

club as a token of regard. There
was very large attendance, and a
most delightful afternoon was spent

If there is any good and sufficient
reason why full and itemized state
ment of the use of the money realized
on bonds voted by the people for in
stalling our electric plant should not
be made? Let those who have the
reason tell it to the public.
If it is a fact that those RESPONSE

light equipment knew that there was
not water enough in Ashland creek to
even operate to its fullest capacity a
plant which is capable of manufac-
turing only one-half of the amount of
