ELECTRIC PUMP
 HAS GOOD POWER
Pump at Court House Throws Three quarter Inch Stream Over Alaska
 Steamship Building Office.

Fire Chief Ethical, who is constant ly on watch for anything which will increase the efficiency of the Valdez fire fighting force, demonstrated to his satisfaction this morning that the electric pump at the court house would prove a valuable auxiliary for checking fires in their incipiency.
 During the fire which destroyed the Kitchen Queen bakery and the White building, hose was laid from the court house and had it been of sufficient
 length to reach the fire, the flames would undoubtedly have been con fined to the building in which they Ioriginated.
 Mr.. Ethical has secured several feet of hose from the Valdez Dock
 company and today tested the power of the pump with five hundred feet, and within minute after the pump had started a three-quarter inch
 stream of water was thrown over the telegraph pole i'll front of the Alaska Steamship company's office
 The chief believes that the electric pump is the thing for checking fires
 before they have gained headway,
 and says that the one in Love-Whit- ley's did splendid work during the
 recent fire. He is encouraging other
 property owners to install pumps
 and hopes that before next summer
 that several of them will have been
 added to the fire-6ghting equipment necessary to protect the town.

DAMAGE SUITS
 BEEN REM|TTED
Court npholds action of German Cap- tain in Protecting his vessel
 and Valuable Cargo.

BOSTON. Feb. 4.-Four suits which were brought by the Guaranty Trust company and the National City Bank against the North German Lloyd's company to recover two mil- lion damages, have been dismissed by the courts.
 The cases in which the heavy dam- ages were asked for from the Ger man company had their inception soon after the beginning of hostilities in Europe, and were due to the fail- ure of the Krown Princess Cecille to complete a voyage on which she car ried treasure to England from the Guaranty Trust company. and Nat ional City Bank.
 The German steamship carried treasure to the value of several mill lion dollars and had reached mid- Atlantic ocean when she was warned by wireless that British cruisers were awaiting her off the coast of Ger many. The vessel, in order to escape capture, returned to Boston but the shipers of the treasure declined to re- ceive it and demanded that it be de- livered in England. The court, in rem dering it's decision, held that under the circumstances the officers of the liner in returning to America with her valuable cargo acted in the best interests of all concerned.

WHINE HISTl EHSE 7 OT1
AGAINST PRIVATE BEACHES
Wilmette village is going to fight
the fences that make private proper
ty of public beaches.
Wealthy residents of the exclusive
North Shore suburb who have prop
erty abUtting the lake have carried
their fences out across the beach
sands to the waters edge. They
thought they could get away with it,
as Wilmette village generally let's its
wealthiest people do about what they
please, for they say: 1.-THE rich made
WiImette, why shouldn't Wilmette
be good to it's rich?"
But the village board won't submit
to fences that shut off the beach
sands from the kids who can have
such fun on them. C. c. Carnahan,
village attorney, says he is going to
fight until he hasn't any ground to
stand on rather than let those fences
stay.
cit may mean a long fight" said
Carnahan, ''but the public should
have the lake shore. Because a man
owns property along the lake gives
him no right to run fence into the
water and shut off the beach from
the use of the public"
Carnahan's stand is much in con-
trast with the way the Chicago cor
poration counsePs Office seems to |
view the occupancy by the Saddle |
and Cycle club of a whole block of |
fine beach between Foster and Ber-
wyn avs, just where a beach is sadly |
needed.
When little boy walked on this |
beach two weeks ago a gardener of |
the Saddle and Cycle club attacked |
him with a pair of heavy grass
shears. He died from the wound.
The corporation counsels office
has started no action of it's own, but
will accept a brief from SamT Kas-
sci, attorney Of the Boys Brother

cOppers for carrying artillery In his
hip pocket was one gun, loaded. He
explained that he thought everybody
carried a gun in Chicago, and he in
tended to sell his to some citizen suf-
fering from a scarcity. He didn't
think his gun would shoot, but it
looked vicious, anyway.
In the boys court, after he told his
story and received some enIighten-
ment on the fact that the law forbids
the toting Of guns, Tommy was CIV

Yesterday Tommy was in again.
This time he was charged with hay

he had merely gone into the church

to slap his face.
However, there was the fact that

and had hidden in a basement, from
which he was yanked by the police.

The Grange fairs and the small town
fairs fill an important place in rural
life. The big fairs with their varied
attractions please the crowd, and fill n
useful purpose. They have become al
most expositions, but they do not to
any great extent promote rivalry
among the farmers and their families.
The exhibits of live stock of all kinds
are made mainly by men with some of
the finest collections of animals in
their respective classes in the country
These exhibitors prepare their horses,
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry for q
round of the fairs. They are out for a
cleanup of the big premiums. They
have the goods and they take the
the cash. The ordinary farmer has no
chance against them. But in the
smaller fairs the men who till the soil
and who raise stock on the home farms
get together in friendly spirit, each
trying to excel the others. They ex
change ideas which are of mutual bene
fit. Their rivalry and competition re
suits in better stock and better farm
products. There ought to be something
in the way of fair in every small town
in New England.

Charles NJ. Cox, writing from st. AL
bans to the Burlington Free Press,
urges the farmers of New England to
specialize. He points out that thou
sands of farmers of this section of the
country are getting along and earning
q living, but that the men who are
making from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
net ont of the soil are the ones who
devote their energies to one crop, who
study that one question so thoroughly
cles to the extent that in the course of
time there ceases to be an element of
doubt about securing a crop in any
one year. The onion and tobacco
growers of the Connecticut river val
ley, the men in Wrentham, Mass, who
raise over $4,000 Pekin ducks in q
year, and the owners of big poultry
farms who have thousands of laying
fowls of one variety, producing So
called fancy eggs for the city market
are making bigger success financially
than many of the manufacturers and
merchants. And they unquestionably
enjoy life more than the men who are
tied down to the routine of office at
fairs.
