possible with the equipment the city
has on hand TO save the property.
Since the taking of Office by the
new administration, an effort was
made to see In just what shape the
fire apparatus belonging to the city
was. The officials found that the
present equipment consists of not
over $50 feet of first class hose, this
being loaded on two carts, one sta
toned In each end of the city. The
dre stations are old ramshackled
buildIues which should be condemn
ed. aud outside of being no protec
tion for the carts and hose, are being
util ICED by the boys of the city af
loafing places, this meaning that at
any time nozzles, wrenches or other
equ ipment could be taken away and
the fact not discovered until fire
occurred aud there was urgent ueces-
isty of having the tools.
While the city has a good supply
! Of fire hydiauts scattered about the
city, yet the small supply Of hose
makes it almost impossible to cover
the teri itory even with the excellent
water pressure we have here.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of some of the couuolmen
aud action will be taken by the coun.
Gil In a short time iu considering q
more adequate fire protection for the
city.
It Is not alone In the wdy of hose
that the city ls defcien, INT also OF
an organized alarm system. Al th'
present time there is not public
fire bell. gong or whistle 10 the city
and It is the belief OF the oouncilmei
that this matter also should be one O
the first to be considered, their idei
; being to place two electrically upe
/ rated Rongs, one In each eud of th
city, the arrangements helug suc
! that the telephone operator may star

on the switch boMd, the residents @

Fire Protection
Needed Here

During the past few days there has
been a determined effort on the part
Of some of the city officials to have
the council take up the matter Of re-
organizing the St. Maries Volunteer
Fire department. While st. Maries
has been exceptionally fortunate In
the way OF not having hres during the
past year, yet the councilmen believe
that 1t would be far better to do at
least something toward increasing the
fire protection Of the city now, before
big Gre occurs than afterward, when
possibly a large amount Of property
will be wiped out by not having ade-
quate fire protection.
At the present time there Is no de-
nyiug the fact that st. Maries lie in
very ba shape 10 the way Of fire pro-
teotlon, and n serious fire should

the commission to this effect asking
that the proceedings be dismissed.
The city council was ready to give
Simonds a franchise to put up poles

of the city on repI esentatiou that
there was a larger demand for cleo

The sc. Maries Land company aud
other property owners on the flats on
the other side OF the river, have
started operations looking toward
dyking their lands to prevent them
belug overhowed from the river dur
ing the high water season.
The dyke will be nearly five miles
long aud will extend from the foot OF
the mountain nearly opposite VIII

ct to Ciarence Buffers place at Bat
Ter Bay.
l.. f.. Purvis Is 10 charge Of pai-
" of Surveyors who have already be-
gum the preliminary work Of taking
levels, ascertaining the height that
the dyke will have TO be, laying ont
bitches an6 making an estimate of
the cost Of the completed improve
ments.
As soon as this Is completed the
actual work of building the dyke will
be starte4. it being the desire of
those Interested to complete as much
Of the work as is possible this fall.
The pIelent idea is TO get the work as
far along as is possible this fall ald
to complete in the early winter so es
to have it available for keeping ont
the high water next spring.
The plans contemplate not only the
building Of dyke along the water
front, hut the digging Of large main
ditch with lateral bitches to carry off
the surface water and what seepage
there may be. aud to put In a pump
