Fire Drill Interest

eUecJlVe. Ine local company did
not have single call during the
week. Chief Cain believing it to be
a good time to put the company
through their stunts, ordered a fire
drill for last Friday afternoon. Most
of the firemen were advised that a
drill would be held The alarm was
sounded promptly at o'clock; the
company allowed one minute for the
firemen to arrive before leaving the
house and then proceeded to the
high school, where Prof. Messner,
being previously notified, turned in
an alarm at the school. He report
ed that the school was clear of all
students, numbering 741, in one min
ute and ten seconds. The firemen
coupled up to a fire hydrant near
the school and had two streams of
water from a siamese coupling in
two minutes and thirty seconds af-
ter leaving the fire house. The Of
/ ficers of the company are much graf
flied with the efficiency shown by
the fire company and also the excel
lent time made by the students in
clearing the building. H. J. Rams
dell, president of the local school
board, was at the school at the time
of the demonstration.
