MOQUAWKIE village Is NOW on THE MAP

An old landmark name has been changed. The VII
Iage long known Tyonek is now properly designated
as Mouuawke This new name is as near to an Ino1ah
word meaning sheltered place as the white mans or
biography can express it, MoquawNe is very appfopu-
ate when applied to the village the west side OF the
Inlet for is quite sheltered by high bluffs from the pre-
yailing northerly winds of winter
The postofice department abandoned the name Iy-
onek nearly ten years ago when it appeared that Jhe
use of that name might confuse some who knew OIL oIo
Tyonek further down the Inlet I'm fact the name Iyo-
mex was never properly applied to the village where the
Governments Indian school is located But the name Sc
lected by the postal authorities Beuga was eventually
found to be fully as misleading the former name An
cid station near the mouth of the Beuga river IS far
more entitled to be called Beuga and in fact IS always
meant when seamen and other Wayaung people use tha
name
In February, 1915, President Wilson established an
Indian reservation of $1,000 acres which includes this
uuchmisnamed village. On the map used by the Pres
dent and adopted by him as part of his proclamation
the reserve is called the loquawe Reservation. short
time afterward the Postmaster General accepted the new
name for the postofce substituting it for both Tyonek
and Bega At the close of that fiscal year the new ap
preparations were made for loQuawe school instead Of
Tvonek school, and the Commissioner of Education very
promptly changed the name of the school accordingly.
Now the Bureau of Navigation has signiied Its will
ngness to concur i'm the change and the forthcoming
charts will give TyOnek It's proper location, beyond the
village long incorrectly so called marking the latter vii
lage Moquawke
Some slight confusion may be anticipated among boat
men, few of whom are really tenacious for old forms;
but this will all pass away in little time, no doubt, and
the name NoQuawe viii be generally used in very few
yearS.-EX

Iowa Men in Texas.

j. L. Mueller, who is spending the
winter at Houston, Texas, sends US q
clipping from the Houston Post COM
cerning $275. 900 oil land deal which
took place there the fore part Of the
year, and states that he met j. Bi
Caward of Dallas, Texas, who is inter.
ested in the deal and came there to
close up.
He also eneloses an editorial clipping
concerning A. Zundelowitz who had an
nounced that he will start q bank ac-
count for fifty boys between the ages
of and 16 who will make the::following
New Year pledge: promise to re-
frain from using tobacco, swearing or.
gambling. I will be honest and fair to
my employer and faithfully attend some
church and Sunday School. If in city
school will do my best to succeed. I
further promise to be kind and obedi-
ent to my parents, other children, wo-
men and old people and to add to my
first deposit whenever possible"
The editorial says: 1t will be seen
that the boy who takes this pledge and
keeps it will be acquiring much more
than a bank account. He will be gain
ing moral character, stability, health
and freedom from vitiating habits. The
bank account will become side issue

Fire Traps in Cresco.

Numerous complaints have been made
to me in the last month as to the con-
dition of the Easements in stores and
public buildings in the city and upon
examining these places have found
such complaints just. and l take this
means to notify all persons having
charge of these stores and public build
ings to clean up these Easements and
remove all infammable material and
trash that has accumulated and keep
these places in safe and clean man
ner.
The state fire marshall or deputy will
be in this city in the near future to
inspect all public buildings and all per-
sons found not complying with the state
fire laws will be liable to a fine of
from $40 to $50. The State Fire mar
ehall has requested me to notify the
public that it is unlawful to burn pa
per, rubbish etc., in an open fire
within the fire limits and all persons
doing this must provide metal recep-
tical, so as to eliminate all dangers of
setting fire to adjacent property. This
offense is punishable with the same
fines as stated above, and, as am
liable to fine for not reporting such
ofenses, ask the public to cooperate
with me. The state fire marshalllalso
advise that all open stairways be pro-
vided with railing on the exposed
side side at least three feet high and
made preferably of gas pipe not less
than one inch in diameter. He also ad-
Uses that all stairways be provided
with hand rail running parallel with
the steps and about three feet above
the steps.
OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
l take this opportunity to say a few
words about the Cresco Fire Depart
ment. The Cresco Fire Department
was organized about rs years ago, and
at that time the city bought Hook
and Ladder truck (?) some ladders and
two hose carts Now, the apparatus
was sufficient in those days but your
city has grown and spread out consid-
ably since that time and the old, worn
out equipment is entirely unable to
cope with demands that may be made
upon it. You have spent thousands of
dollars for Churches, Opera House,
Library, Public schools, ETC., and
thousandsof dollars In AouaAs II and skara
buildings where you haven't spent cents
for the protection Of these buildings by
bettering the conditions of your fire de-
partment. AS close as l can figure the
yearly average expenditures for the
upkeep, repair and betterment of the
fire apparatus has been about $36. 90.
Pretty cheap insurance on all the prop
erty in your city isn't it?
The State laws give the City a. right
to levy tax for buying parks but it
does not give the city the right to levy
tax for its fire protection, so this
must come out of the general fund and
l think that if we wait until there is
enough left over in the general fund
for this we will never have any better
equipment than we have now. Oh, its

Third Number of Lecture Course.

On Wednesday evening, Jan. 18th,
the American Quartet will appear at
the M. E. Church.
Everone loves a cool male quartet.
The better it is the more they love it..
This has often been said before, but if
the Americans are loved in accordance
with their deserts, they will be well
thought of, for there are f'w quartets
on the platform to day that have as
good make good'' record.
There is q reason for their success.
First, they have the individual talent,
the musical training and the exper-
ience that is necessary to become sue
cessful.
More than that, there is such a va
riety to their program that everyone
will find something that just suits their
taste. OF course, their main forte is
singing-and there are few better sing
ing quartets; but second, they have a
splendid instrumental trio of Liano,
violin and cello. and play some delight
full instrumental and vocal music. Mr..
EECGeasad. .isan unusually good sarteen.
list and entertainer, and his drawings
and verses, set to music played and
sung by the other members Of the
quartet, form feature of the pro-
gram. ~
The Americans" pride themselves
on their slogan: "American programs
for American audiences by American
entertainers.
Take an evening off from business
and household cares, bring the whole
family-for they will all enjoy this pro-
gram-and treat yourself to the most
enjoyable evening of the season.

all right to feel secure and all that as
long as we are lucky and do not have
any large fires, but what are you going
to do if we do have one? It will be
too late, then you you will wake up
to the stern realization that you are
only half prepared and the loss suffer-
ed from one fire will more than make
up for the equipment we really need.
Both fire houses in Cresco are cold
and damp, old and shaky, and equip.
ment kept there is in poor condition
for winter fire fighting and as these hose
carts only carry $50 feet of hose each,
any building over 1900 feet from a hy-
drant is without fire protection of even
one stream Of water, and after the
men haue hauled these ancient carts a
dozen blocks or SO, they are in poor
condition to do their work. Now this
is not knock at the Council or the
public, it is real facts, and facts that
you should think about. and it seems as
if the people should be public spirited
enou gh to see that these conditions are
overcome. Of course you don't need
fire department unless there is fire
but like insurance it comes in handy
then. l think if any one will take the
trouble to investigate you will find that
Cresco has the poorest fire fighting
equipment of any town of its size in the
State. As to fire alarm we might as
we'll say that we have none, but no
blame can be laid to any one as the
council is trying to secure one if one
can be found that will operate satis-
factory by electricity and any one
knowing of q satisfactory alarm of this
type can do a favor by notifying the
the undersigned.
New l would advise that the City
find means to build decent fire house
and secure some up-to-date fire equip
ment at once and if the new will last
as we'll as the old it will be economy to
do so. We have as good bunch of
firemen as you will find anywhere, al
ways ready and willing to work and
endure thu danger that is always pres
ent at fires, but they cannot work un-
less they have the equipment to work
with. l would advise the Council
to purchase at once some good chemi.
cal fire extinguisher to be used in case
hydrants are frozen. Two weeks ago
the Decorah department. was called q
AFR. ii one of IA largest honss 81
Decorah and found that the hydrant
was frozen and they stood helpless
while the house burned to the ground,
so think good chemical engine would
be cheap insurance.
Just one more favor. 1t seems to be
a Gu stom when at fires for everyone to
crowd up to the burning building in an
endeavor to see what is going on, to
get in the way of the firemen and to
give Instructions; this is a decided han
dicap to the firemen. They are under
instructions from their officers and
they know what to do and it will be
appreciated if, in the future, the gen.
eral public will refrain from crowding
up and let the firemen do their work as
they have been instructed.
Respectfully yours,
Fred J. Hamilton,
Fire Chief.

Twin Beds" Clever Comedy Coming.

So. =
Twin Beds,'' Salisbury Field and
Margaret Msyo's human and humorous
comedy of apartment house life, which
was hailed as the most amusing and
enjoyable play seen in many seasons in
New York where it completed an un-
interrupted run of one solid year, will
be presented on Saturday, Jan. 10th,
at the Cresco Opera House. The scene
Of erwin Beds" is in fashionable
New York apartment house and its
characters are familiar types here,
there and everywhere. Harry Haw-
kins is tired of his wife's social activ-
tiles. His wife insists upon two things,
she will be nice to her neighbors and
she insists upon having twin beds in
her apartment. To avoid the neigh
bors, especially certain fat tenor who
hasbecome rather attentive to his bride,
Hawkins moves from the East side OF
town over to the West side. Unfort-
unately the tenor moves also, and. un-
known to each other, into the same
building. Between Mrs. Hawkins. the
tsnor' wife, M 4, = 4 ns iIsi = wllse
thinks the tenor is burglar, and .
maid who follows orders too explicitly,
the complications are tremendous.
Besides its great New York vogue,
Twin Beds" played for six months in
Australia and has already reached its
second year in London, and so great is
the demand for this marvel of play
that reproductions are soon to be made
in Paris, Berling, Petrograd, Madrid,
Rome, Toxic. South America and
South Africa.
The cast organized by A. S. Stern
and Company under whose direction
Twin Beds" is to visit US, contributes
much toward the success Of this play.
