A Vision Of Future.

1T borders upon the Mississippi for
the greater part, perhaps the whole
extent of the lower rapids of that riv.
er, and thus embraces a spot which in
future times, will be Of immense i'm
portance to the commerce and Inter
course of the whole valley. Your
memorialists anticipate the day when
the obstruction to navigation will be
overcome by a canal around those
rapids: when the inexhaustible power
of that mighty stream Twill be ap-
plied) to almost every variety Of man
ufacturing machinery and when q
commercial city will spring up in that
wilderness to serve as the great en-.
trepot Of the upper and lower Missis

Would Give Local Fire Marshal
Authority to Force Proper
"Clean-Up" of Refuse

A deputy officer from the Of
flee of Robt. Hargadine, State
Fire Marshal, visited Redwood
Falls last week and thoroughly
inspected the city with a view to
discovering possible fire traps
and their remedy. Under the
leadership of Chief Jos. Corbett
a careful inspection Of city prop
erty was made and several
changes suggested which will
make for it's greater safety.
One suggestion made was that
the City Council pass an ordi-
nance authorizing the city fire
marshal to serve cleanup no
tees on the owners Of base
ments, buildings or alleys where
combustible materials are left
Icing about. Such an ordinance
would not only give the fire mar
shall power to serve the notice,
but would be his warrant for
having the necessary work done
and the amount expended thus
charged up to the property ow-
ner. The State Fire Department
believes that such precaution is
i NOT only advisable but necessary
If the city is to be adequately
protected. In the opinion of the
inspecting officer the matter
should receive immediate anG
. thoughtful attention from thu
council. It was also suggested
. that the electric wiring needs at
tention in some places.
