On Friday evening of this week tho
North Platte Fire Department will hold
its sixth annual ball at Lloyd's opera
house. If there is one organization or
society which deserves tho. liberal finan
cial support of our citizens, it is the fire
department, and The Tribune believes
that this is generally recognized. The
members of the department practically
receive no compensation for their heroic
work during fires,- and tho time they
devote to the good of the organization.
Their interest never lags, 8nd they re
spond with alacrity to all fire alarms no
matter how pressing their work may be
at that particular time. They are, there
fore, entitled to the hearty support of
our people, not only by words of com
mendation, but in a financial way when
opportunities are presented, such, for
instance as the coming ball. Many men
do not dance, and do not care to go as
spectators to a dance, but they should
be glad to contribute their mite in the
purchase of a ticket and thus help aloDg
in organization whose worthiness can
not bo questioned. If the ball does not
net the boys at least one hundred dollars
The Tribune will conclude that our
citizens do not properly appreciate their
efficient fire department. Lot everyono
make it a point to purchase either daiice
or spectator tickets.

The irrigation meeting at the court
house Monday evening, which was really
an open meeting of the Business Men's
Association, was certainly an interesting
one, and while the audience present was
fair in size it was not as large as the im
portance of the matters ducussed de
manded. In the absence of President
.Hammond, who was sjck,M. C. Harring
ton occupied the chair and stated thai
object of the meeting, namely, the ad-
vancement of theories on the subject;
of irrigation and the perfecting of -arrangements
for the state irrigation con
vention to be held in this city commenc
ing on Tuesday of next week. Judge
Hoagland was the first gentleman called,
ofor a speech. The Judge was not .a
practical irrigationist, but it mustbe'
apparent to all that the rainfall in "this
section was not sufficient to prodc6
successive crops, and that irrigation tae
the proper thing. In the ditch wesfcroi
town we had a practical demonstration
of the benefits of irrigation. He was
followed by Mr Wilcox, who, while not
discouraging a general irrigation of the
west, spoke at length on the practicabil
ity of constructing ditches to irrigate the.
bottom lands on the north and south
Bides of tho- river. The completion of

the coming state convention,- was called
to the floor and gave reports of. the work
he had performed and named the dis
tinguished gentlemen who would be
present and address tho convention.
From reports he had received, he was
assured that at least two hundred dele
gates would bo present, and that the
number might reach three hundred and
fifty. Rev. Irwin, Mayor Warner, and
Messrs. Park, Grimes, Rhea-and Iddings
made practical remarks on the subject
and believed that it was the duty of
every citizen to tako an earnest interest
in tho convention and make it a success.
It wsb tho sense of the meeting that the
hotels could not properly accommodate
all the delegates, and it was requested
that citizens entertain as many delegates
as possible. This proposition was well
received and those present at the meet
ing agreed to tako care of about thirty.
It was requested that all citizens who
can "entertain delegates leave their namo
with T. M. Clark, secretary of the Busi
ness Men's Association. It was decided
to hold the convention at Lloyd's opera
house, thus insuring accommodations
for all who wish to attend. The recep
tion committee was increased to ten in
number, and nftor the transaction of
some other minor business the meeting
adjourned.

Tho publication of the minutes of
Buffalo Bill Hook and Ladder Company
last week has caused considerable com
ment. Tho hose company responsible
for tho turning of tho water upon Mr.
Woodhurst was the toam from this ward.
When Mr. Woodhurst appeared in a
second story window and gave the in
formation that there was no firo there,
a bystander yelled, "turn the wsiter on
him" and the water was turned on the
impulse of tho moment without any
malicious intent, while to some members
of the company, the identity of the man
in the window was unknown. A mem
ber of the W. W.Hose Co. said that the
H. &-L. Co. could doubtless put any
thing on its minutes that it saw fit to
approve but the minutes of last week
should not have been published. In my
mind there was nothing wrong intended
and if the incident was the cause of any
enmity to arise between the companies
it should be dispelled. One thing, how
ever, and I am not speaking of any par
ticular fire, will always remain a part of
our fire departments long as our city is
not large enough to support a paid
department and that is that there are
too many bosses among outsiders at
every fire.

A "Trust" Which is Popular.
There is a great deal of indignation
felt against trusts. Tho Sugar Trust,
tho Standard Oil Trust, tho Welsh Tin
Plate Trust, tho English Salt Trust, and
other combinations of the kind, are
vigorously denounced, and it is a subject
of controversy whether tbero aro more
trusts in England than America, ana
whether protection or free trade fosters
them But there is one form of trust
against which no one has anything to
say. That is the trust the public reposes
in Hood's Sarsaparilla.
