I I issj Wm W m m w JFire Department CKAWr-'OW) WAKKHOUHH DAMAGED From Crawford Tribune: This Friday evening at about 5 o'clock the fire WhiSt! i rallt'd the flre department and citizens to (isht s IfS which had Rained ci nnidorable headway In the lsrge warehouse In the Northwestern railway yards, formerly occupied by ihe KriiK Hrew Inc: company, but lately used by War field, Pratt, Howe & company, n Wholesale grocery firm, for a storage house. The tire boys responded promptly nnd soon had the Ham s Under control, and a car load of yrup, which was in the building re toovod to a Bafe place. Olson & Kelly had a large quantity of pota toes stored In the building, but by the assistance of some diligent work ers succeeded In saving all but a few bushels. The dumage resulting Is principally to the budding, which is considerable, and, we understand, is covered by insurance. The fire Is supposed to have originated from an oil stove which WHO used in the building to keep the potatoes from freezing. TWO ALARMS AT MINI I Hill till From Scottsbluff Star-Herald : Fire alarms both Sunday and Mon day mornings gave some littlo ex citement to the citizens of this city and caused the tire truck to bo oxer clued, the blaze in each instance, bowever, being incipient in char acter and extinguished before any j damage was done. About 6 o'clock j Sunday morning the alarm was turned in from Fourteenth and First avenue, the flre being In the black smith shop adjoining the Carr & Neff lumber yard on the west oper ated by Mr. Shelley, the building owned by Dr. A. Crawford. In some manner the flooring in the shop had become ignited and was blazing merrily when discovered. The department was notified and Kred Nlssen, who was on duty at the time responded with the truck so promptly that the flre lighting ap paratus was on the scene before the whistle had ceased blowing. None of the equipment was used, as there was water close at hand and the blaze was extinguished easily. Duo to the proximity of the large lumber yard, there might have been serious consequences had not the flre been given such prompt attention. Monday mornlng'o alarm was turned from the Itoland Cigar store, where a gasoline coffee urn had leaked and the oil had become Ig nited. None of the equipment was used and the tire was extinguished before any damage was done. One thing Is certain and that is that Scottsbluff now has an efficient de partment and one that is "on the Job." ODD FIR KM ION SACRIFICING From Ord Weekly Journal: For some years It has been the custom of the firemen to attend the state convention in a body, taking their own band along and always the Ord bunch has been a prominent part of the convention. Ord has been on the map all the time. The expenses of these yearly tripn have been do frayed by the money taken in at the time of the annual ball and some times an entertainment has been given also, to help out. The firemen have had a mighty good time on these trips and have looked forward to the 1917-18 meeting at Fremont with rather more Interest than usual for they knew that Fremont would show the boys the time of their lives. These tripn have been about the only pay the boys have received for their work as firemen and the people gen rally have conceded that they were entitled to them yearly and have usually been liberal in patronizing the ball and entertainment. It was supposed that the program would be carried out this year as usual and had the boys seen fit to go ahead and take the trip it would have been per fectly satisfactory to the public and no doubt the support would have been as liberal and loyal as In the past, despite the many demands that have come to all this year. The flre men had been doing some individual thinking however and when the time; came In the meeting last Friday evening, to decide upon the annual Junket, it was at once suggested that the trip be dispensed with this yeaf; that they go ahead as usual and raise all the money possible and then either give it to the Y. M. C. A. or Red Cross or divide It between them Hoys whom the older members had not supposed were taking any inter est either way, ftot up and argued like skilled attorneys, for the above program and when a standing vote was ordered on the matter every S remafl jumped to his feet. We say "All hats off to the firemen." It was unanimous and was promptly voted to divide all funds secured at the ball noon to be given and at the annual ball and entertainment In February, between the two organiza tions equally after paying the ex penses. This is going to mean a nice sum for each and we hope to se.- the public enter Into the spirit with the same zeal that the firemen have shown. r The delegates named to attend the state convention were Frank Nor man for No. 1, Harry Dye for No. 2 and Archie Keep for "Hooks." War ren Lincoln, Thomas Wright and Lawrence Burger were named as al ternates. If three men attend the convention their expenses will be paid by the department and It is probably best that they go, though there is some talk that they may de cide not to spend even ithat much money this year. The fact (that the ord department already has four members in the government service has doubtless increased tha interest. The members are Cecil Clark, Wil liam Wright, Alpha Hill and C. I. Mortinson. Another matter decided at the meeting last week was that the boys would Invest whatever available funds there was on hand in war savings certificates. They already have five hundred dollars in buildftng and loan and the treasurer, E. B. Banister, purchased a hundred dollar liberty bond some time ipo. They hope to have a couple of hundred dollars to invest in the latest form of government bonds, the saving certificates. i Kifltrara, "A man may et'ibll8D n reputation as a kicker," remarked the observer of Events and Tilings, "but he doesn't want to get the Idea that the mule is his Inferior."
