Responsibility for Fires

The city of Portland, Ore, has
new ordinance that makes it unlawful
for anyone to maintain on his premises
conditions that constitute fire h&1-
ard The Bureau of Fires investigates
such hazards, and if it decades that
a given conditions is dangerous, it
notifies the one responsible to remove
it.
If the notified party does n re-
move it, he becomes responsible He
can then be sued by the municipality
for the cost of putting out any are
of which conditions maintained hy
him could be considered a cause.
Fearing possible suit, the people of
that city are clearing up hazardous
conditions. This is a good scheme to
try in any place where business men
and others are careless There is a
tendency to maintain heaps of light
packing boxes, excelsior and similar
material, in easements and back yards
These create terrible conditions if 2
fire starts.

NATURE SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Discard Things That Hinder and Re-
tain Only That Which Is Helpful
at Dawn of New Year.

Once again the New Year opens it's
door for US to enter in. The old year
IS leaving US, and if We are wise we
will let him take with him all the i'm
pedimenta that has handicapped US
during his reign. We will dismiss the
old mistakes and troubles and grudges.
and entering blithely into the New
Year, we will begin all over again.
Mother nature has set us an exam
pie which we will do well to follow.
All the good golden grain, the ripe
fruit and all other precious gifts she
has permitted us to garner and re,ain.
And then she proceeded to do away
with the rubbish. She put her spell
upon it and it Withered and died, was
plowed under, and became the needful
fertilizer for another year.
And so all the good and sweet and
beautiful things that the old year has
given US we are permitted to keep.
We may hold onto our successes, our
helpful experiences, our beautiful mem
cries and the new friendships which
have come to US as the gift Of the old
=
might hinder our endeavOr in the year
that is just opening its door into new
and untried ways.
Let US cast off our old garments of
doubt and disappointment and failure
and put on the shining garments of
hope and faith and courage Let US
draw on all the undreamed of sources
within US for a broader outlook a
More determined endeavor and great
err accomplishment. Let Us possess
ourselves Of higher ideals of life and
its privileges and responsibilities, and
a determination to live up to the best
there is in US during the days Of the
coming year. And above all, let US
hold fast to our faith in the goodness
Of God, for so shall we be enabled to
go forward, hopeful and unafraid into
the unknown and Untried ways Of the
New Year.

WISCONSIN
Geological Survey Announces Advance
information To the Public

In the 1918 Wisconsin Geological
Survey examined fourteen townships
IN central Wisconsin making a study
of the geology, with the idea of de-
termining what indications there are
of economic minerals, especially iron
formation As inquiries have been
made regarding the geology of this
part of the state, it has been found
advisable to issue information regard
ing these townships in advance of pu-
blication of the printed report. Ac-
cordingIy, blueprints have been pre-
pared showing each of the fourteen
townships with the Pre- Cambrian rock
out crops, magnetic lines, roads,
streams, etc. These blueprints will
be ready for distribution about jan
uary IS, 1919.
rr townships covered lie in Wood
and lark counties, and include the

Republican County Officers

The respective County officers con-
sisting of Sam Church, County Clerk;
Claus Johnsoe, County Treasurer; y.
B. Bever, Clerk of Court; Henry B.
Ehbe, Register of Deeds and Frank
CalElins, District Attorney, have sue
ceeded themselves as County officials
with the exception of Mr.. Cal5ins who
enters his first term, succeeding John
Roberts.
The Republican Party has every
reason to feel well satisfied with the
administration of county affairs dur
ing the past administration. Each
officer is courteous, painstaking and
efficient in serving the people who vi
sit the County Seat on business.
In retiring from the District At
torney's office, John Roberts, leaves
an enviable reputation. He has been
conscientious in the discharge of his
official duties, and those who have
been familiar with his work, speak of
his record as being way above the
average occupants of that office He
will be missed on the County Board as
their legal advisor, and by all those
who ever had business relations with
his office. He retires leaving behind
him an excellent record as a faithful
and efficient county official.

213 Ordinances

The City of Grand Rapids has pass
ed and have upon their Ordinance
Records 213 ordinances and none of
them are enforced. They are all
practically dead letters. If our mem
DRY serves US rightly at recent meet
ing of the Common Council the memb-
ers waxed warm and eloquently be-
fore passing ordinance providing for
the cleaning of sidewalks of snow.
1t is not being enforced. There are
sidewalks We know of that have not
been shoveled this winter and they
are on our main street on the east
side. Others are not shoveled until
2 or days after snow storms Whose
business is it to enforce the ordinances
the officers Of course. Why is it not
done? 1t would be far better not to
pass ordinances if they are not to be
enforced
Take the Splitting ordinance, AVN
ing ordinance, Tree trimming ordin-
ances, in fact none of them are any
good as far as service is concerned.
Start 1919 right. Get after the snow
ordinance while the snow is here. Let
the city set the example by cleaning
their own sidewalks promptly after
every storm and we believe our citi-
zens will do likewise. Everybody get
busy.
