GIVE THE FIRE DEPT. A
FAIR SHOW AT THEIR WORK
Thoughtiess Interference by Out.
siders Seriously Hamper Opera
tions at Recent Fres

There seems to be growing dis
position on the part of the general
public to interfere somewhat in the
active work of the local volunteer
fire department. Much of this can
rightly be attributed to thoughtless-
ness, but it is nevertheless likely to
result seriously.
This was particularly noticeable in
the last two alarms turned in, when
practically every automobile on the
street was cranked up by It's owner
and loaded to the guards with the
curiously inclined. The result be-
ing that the street was congested
with gyrating machines and the
right of way for the apparatus COM
pletely blocked.
At the fire at the Reclamation
headquarters last week some excited
outsider, according to Chief Comfy.
ordered the water turned on before
the hose was unreeled from the cart
with the result that the hose cart
will have to undergo about $25 worth
of repairs before again fit for SER
vice.
Fallon has one of the best volun-
teer fire fighting organizations in the
State as has been proven time and
again. If given even half show
they will make good on every occa-
sion They have drilled faithfully
and their team work would be
credit to a paid department. Now,
if the public will only stand aside
and give them the right of way to
which they are entitled under the
city ordinances and cease the sense
less and destructive practice of run
ming over the hose lines and other
wise interfering with the work,
lasting obligation will be conferred
not only on the boys themselves, but
every property owner whose interests
are endangered.

Ready for the Draft

The State Adjutant Generals Office
has received complete lists of the re-
gistration recently taken in every
county in Nevada, showing that H.
060 names have been received. This
number is $500 less than contained
in the governments original esti-

$1,000 worth of Liberty Iona bonds.

for the little place and it can't be

According to the figures given out
at Washington, accrediting volun-
