The fire engine was finally gotten to work and as usual this did the work.

The total loss is estimated at $6,0J0, with insurance $4,250. The origin of the fire is unknoA'n. It originated in the kitchen. It seems to us that this fire makes apparent the fact that this town needs better fire protection. We mean no reflection on the fire company, for the nembers of our fire company are most faithful and intelligent workmen and should and do receive the apprecia tion of the citizens ojt. the Lqwa*. But nre company ctiT»not- muKe pressure of the present system of water works. We don’t consider the fault lies at any man’s door. It is just the condition of the system. What is needed is to have conditions so that within a reasonable length of time after an alarm it will be possible to have strong streams of water playing on the fiames. It was the expressed opinion of a large number of thos* present at the fire that had the engine been throwing the streams of water first played on the fire that it would have extinguish ed the flames before the house was de stroyed. We pass it the town authori ties if it would not be money well invested to have horses ready to rush the engine out at the same time the present horses takes the hose reel. A gas burner could be arranged so as to keep the water hot in the engine all the time so that stoam couIl bo fcotten up in a few minutes. And .vi, would not be a bad idea to have two ' tire en gines.
