according to Mr.. Pardee, wht
says:
AS result OF The 1912 field work
that portion OF the reservation east

AS the examination OF the last two

Although some OF the lands clas-

oNsTRATEp YESTERDAY.

The need OF the northern district
for fire protection was called to
mind late yesterday afternoon when
the department strung 1900 feet of
hose in an effort to reach a burning
chicken house near the Standard Oil
works. Practically 1000 feet Of ad
dilional hose was needed to reach
the scene, and as a result the fire
department was forced to stand by
and watch the building be consumed,
The building was owned by Hugh
oHara and had formerly been used
as chicken house, although not in
use for some time. 1t is believed
that the fire was caused by broken
glass transmitting the suns rays
upon some inflammable object.
With the aid of hand chemicals the
department extinguished the embers
after the building had been destroy.

save the structure as no water was
