FIRE SERVICE AGAIN.
Pendleton was given another object
lesson yesterday. Will she profit by
it, or .will she wait? Sho has had two
in less than two weeks. How many
r ore will be required before she will
see the point? The destruction of
the brewery should have been avoid
ed. The spreading of the flames from
the paint, shop yesterday was simply
a lack of prompt fire service. In the
case of the destruction of the brewery
It was charged to the loss of the
wrenches. Yesterday it was claimed
that the delay In getting the water
to playing on the fire was on account
of a scarcity of nozzles and the rusted
fire plugs. What the trouble will be
next time will have to be reported
after the fire.
"Wrenches do not cost much, neither
do nozzles, compared with valua
ble buildings and the high premiums
that will have to be paid for insur
ance if there are a few more demon
strations of defective fire service.
Under present conditions the city is
simply taking chances on fires and
they are bad elements to take chances
on. The history of fires bear out this
statement. One may occur In which
the city will be completely wiped out
Then It will be too late to prepare a
better fire service. The two last fires
would have done great damage had
there been a strong wind blowing, and
it looks like simply fine luck that
saved the southern portion of the city
each time.
Wherein lies the fault? It is claim
ed that the water pressure is ample.
The fault with the fire service of most
rmall cities lies In the scarcity of
water. With plenty of water it is
considered tnat other obstacles are
easily overcome. Then if Pendleton
has plenty of water the fault lies
elsewhere. She is a thriving city
with up-to-date business men. They
are able to pay for a good fire serv
ice. If it is apparatus that is need
ed they would not begrudge the taxes
necessary to purchase It And if It
does not lie here, and is defective in
men, then the cltlzons would be will
ing to compensate men for the posi
tion. -
There is no charge made against
the firemen of the city for Inefficiency
when they once get to a fire. They
handlo it with fair promptness, con
sidering the defects claimed In
wrenches, hose and nozzles. They
doubtless earn every cent that Is paid
them. They are composed of the best
and most interested citizens. Al
though every fire of late brings out
Btrong words of condemnation of the
firemen, yet these remarks are made!
by many who doubtless know nothing
about the circumstances of the case.
It is claimed that the men are only
j once, but it could be done by degrees.
I Two men could be regularly employ
, ed for a starter to act in conjunction
with the volunteer department. One
I of these men could be on duty in day-
j time and the other at night By mak
i ing It their duty to keep the apparatus
1 in perfect condition and ready to
turn on the alarm at a moment's no
tice it would make such a difference
in the fire equipment that Pendleton
would not begrudge the sum paid
them, for it would be money well ex
pended. Pendleton has grown too largo for
nor present fire service. If she does
not improve it she will regret it,
nomination," but "If the party should
decide that ho is the propor man to
hend the ticket ho could not honora
bly say 'No.' " In other words "Barkis
is wlllin."
If In view of the result of the last
two Prcsideutial campaigns and of
the present condition of the country
there is a single state in tho Union
with the possible exception of Ne
braska which wants Mr. Brynn
again to "head the ticket," the Indi
cations of that fact are most unac
countably missing. Until there Is a
sign in some quarter outsldo of Sir.

Barkis may bo classed with those
dog-day vagaries that are unimport

CUBA'S $35,000,000 LOAN.
Cuba would have no difficulty In
placing her proposed loan of $35,000-
000 at 5 per cent were It not for the
cloud of doubt In which her prosperi
ty is shrouded by this country's atti
tude toward her.
Cuba's actual wealth is ample se
curity for the loan, and her yet as un
developed resources are a pledge of
her ultimate and great prosperity.
The real estate ' valuation of tho
Island, as stated by Sanger's census
of 1SS9, Is $325,000,000, on which
mortgages aggregating $250,000,000
are placed. She Is rich in copper
and Iron lands waiting to be mined;
her fruit growing possibilities are un
tapped sources of wealth not easy
to calculate; her tobacco product,
now limited for lack of capital and
because of our 300 per cent tariff
against the cheaper grades of It, is
capable of immense expansion, and
experts agree that her sugar crop,
now about 1.200.000 tons a year, could
