of throwing water on the roof to save it.
If building is on fire at the rear end

WenatChee Woman has Narrow Escape

Mrs. Lon Montgomery Of Wenatchee
received severe burns last Tuesday in
an accident similar to that which caused
the death OF Mrs. T. w. Cowan at
Entiat last week. Mrs. Montgomery
passed in front OF the heating stove,
the door Of which was open, and the
flames caught her dress. In moment
the woman's clothing was on fire. She
rushed to the kitchen shrieking and
her husband, who had just driven up
to the house with his team, heard her
screams and hurried into the house.
He tore his wife's clothing from her
receiving severe burns on his hands
and arms. Mrs. Montgomery's burns
were not serious.

Believes Bjork Building Could Have Beer
Saved

Editor Echo-I looked in vain for
comment from the editor or some citi-
zen on the way fires are fought in this
town. am not an old timer but have
lived here long enough to see the i'm
portance Of some organization if we
want to save loss by fire. The Bjork
building should have been, and could
have been saved, at least the brick
part, had the water been poured on the
fire instead OF the brick walls OF the
front where there was no fire. The
stream in front of the building had a
good pressure. The other stream,
brought up from the east side Of the
building had not enough pressure to
do much good. The stream at the
front was brought from hydrant a
half block west Of the burning building
and could just as easily have been
taken to the rear, where the fire began,
and where effective work could have
been done. Instead the only hose that
had real pressure was directed against
the front OF the building for two hours,
by the end OF which time the fire finally
burned its way to the water. Every
body that was at the fire knows this is
true.
Why does not the city council en-
ploy some man who has had experience
in fighting fire, and knows what ought
to be done, to take charge and direct
the work in a way that will do some
good. Clothe him with the authority
Of an officer and pay him five or ten
dollars for every fire he attends. Ten
dollars spent this way would have saved
forty thousand at the Bjork fire.
was present last summer when
Reaches shoe store caught fire at the
rear end. At that time the fire fight
ers hauled the hose cart past the first
fire hydrant at the corner Of Dr. Judah's
residence, then went right by the fire
and attached the hose to hydrant on
Front street and threw water for ten or
fifteen minutes against the front Of the
building where not spark of fire could
be seen. Some bystander, whose name
l never learned, saw the fire thru Carl
GUSTS front and back windows and re-
marked, There is the fire." then the
workers, willing enough to work if told
to do the proper thing, kicked the
window out of Carlquist's door, and
took the hose, water and all, thru the
store to the back end and kicked an
other window out OF the back end and
so reached the fire, which they put out
in four or five minutes, altho it had a
good start, which the building shows
to this day. But for the remark OF the
bystander the Roach building and stock
would have burned up Just as slick and
clean as did the Bjork building, be-
cause the men who had charge Of the
hose nozzle would have waited until
the fire got to where they were with
