upon their return from icspoiolio to ho
alarm in onler to ke"p ttip grip from
their systems. The old iayn are past ami
the boys are etjuippetl with rubber boots,
trousers, slickers and hats. Tbey can
take the ftill force of n stream anil nev
er feel it, for their suit- pro atleqnale to
alt uf the requirements impoReil by the
arduous task of fighting fire.
With the proceeds, of the dance given
hy the boys on Sow y. ars eve six com
plete suits have been purchased and are
now on the job. Thus.? who respond
early enough will get .t coat and those
who get them need feqr no water. The
boots and trousers ar? combined, fasten
ing at the waist wi'i a snap so that
only a second is requhfit to put them
on. Then with the coast btiekied on
nothing need be feared.
The three new ehemteni wagons or
dered by the city council have arrived
and will be placed in the various sub
stations in the city immediately so that
the city is better prepared to fight fire
at the present time than ever before.
Roberts Resigns.
Charles Roberts, who has been the
driver of the fire for several
month pas. has resigned his position,
the place being taken by f 'lmries Stowe
of Portland, who for several months
was b .Iriv. r in that !ty. Since his
duties h-can in Medfim! lie has made
several changes in the station and on
tho cheroic.'.l wngnn, -ill of them tending
to lnfr.-i.v- the efficiency of the depart
meat. Hie old spindle hag been remov
ed from th bed of th" wngon and a
basket put in underneath to carry the
hose for the chemical batteries. This
( a cumbersome aoniratiis out of the
way and makes it possible to get th
hose out in faster stvle.
Stowe has alreadv v,-..-. the affection
of the fire team, both of them follow
ini him like a dov. ..i;wl will heed his
slightest word. ITo Mil get out of the
station in exactly 11 eceomls from the
time thn gong taps nnti.-the hind wheels
clear the station door.
Chief Has a Kick.
Fire Phief Amanu is planning in the
near future to take up with the city
council the matter of bitching teams to
or about the fire pings throughout the
city. People become cavcless about this
and in ease of a fire the work of the
boys would be seriously impaired. The
chief is keeping a sharp lookout so that
when the call comes for action no un
necessary time may he lost.
- The only thing that the city now re
quires is a number of fire alarm boles
placed about the city to facilitate the
matter of turning in Harms. But as
it is nnd with the interest that the fire
boys nnd fire officialsc take in pro
tecting the city from loss by fire Med
ford is well protected. With the in
tallation of alarms and the new water
svstem completed the local svBtom will
surpass that of any eitv of Medford
size.

The proposed amendment contains a
orovisbm that there ft all bo held an
mcdly an eleetion to letennino whether
