of tbis tire, a third line of bose was
badly needed in the alley to fight tbe
flames in tbe Athena hotel bnilding,
Ibna relieving tbe nozzlemen o( Com

the flonnaotioni of tbe two lines were
at hydrants located ao far from tbe fire
that a third line was out of tbe ques
tion. Tbe same oonditiuna existed
doling tbe fire yesterday morning
when, after damaged seotions of boss
were removed frnm tbe two lines play
ing on tbe fire, tbe firemen bad bare
ly enongh bose to work witb. Pres
ent oonditions call for instant remedy,
and a healthy agitation for an ade
quate snpply of hose, an additional
hose oart and the reorganization of
tbe volunteer fire department exists.
As a result of tbis agitation, Mayor
Watts baa a oalled a meeting of cit
izens for this evening at 7:80 to be
held at tbe office of B. B. fliohards
for the pnrpose of disonssiog tbe mat
ter and taking necessary aotion.
Among tbe yonug men of Atbena are
to be fonud splendid lira fighters, and
given tbe benefit of proper organiza

will always give creditable perform

A Mulligan Stew
I learned more in five minutes about
tbe workings of the old time shell
gams at tbe Weston pionio Saturday,
tban I ever knew before. Kernel Wood
fonnd out tbat I was in town and
bnnted me np, after staking a bnnob
of cappers. While we stool on tbe
street oorner talking, in that learned
and profound way tor wbiob tbe Ker
nel is noted, np steps a capper and
pays a year's snb. to the Kernel's ne
farious sheet. Presently another guy
paid him for a supposed bnnob of but
ter wrappers, and a third gink slipped
farm 8 bones for a year back and one
in advanoe. 'Twas a land office front
iliigbt, but tbe ooarseness of tbestnnt
was revealed a half hour later wben I
met tbe Kernel again and be panhan
dled me for twobits to pay for a bot
dog he bad bargained for at one of
those street grnb joints.
Every way is a Great White Way In
Atbena just now. The Loonst trees
are in fall bloom.
For a time tbere has been a good
dirt road over tbe reservation to Pen
dleton, bnt now automobiles nave pat
it on tbe blink and tbe macadam is
being need again. All of wbiob goes
to prove tbat dirt roads are best while
tbey last, tut tbey don't last long
enough, Tbis brings to mind that an
old timer said the other day if plenty
of rounding-np was given tbe roads in
tbe middle and lots of oil used in sur
facing them eaoh year, yon would
never bear Jaok Robinson mention
road tonds again. All of whiob seemed
likely to me.
I know of people who will speud six
tits for gasoline or railroad fare to se

come ont of tbe barn, from whioh
smoke was issning, Win Borden was
on tbe scene and rang the fire bell.
Both hose companies responded, but
were handicapped owing to shortage
of hose and by tbe time oonneotions
were made for water, both buildings
were bnroing fnrionsly in tbe upper

FUTURE OF THE HORSE.
Can the Heavy Draft Animal Survlva
the Motor Truck?
Tbe benvy draft horse Is doomed.
He will not vanish suddenly, but his
hour has struck. Motor vehicles al
ready are displacing him In cities. The
cheap farm tractor will do the same In
tho country. In n few decades the
great, magnlllcciit brutes will be little
more thnu a memory. Their places
will bo taken by bloodless mnchlnes.
that uover wlilnuy greetings to a kind
master, never search one's pockets for
sugar and never break their legs on
icy pavements or drag out u friendless
old ago under the whips of stupid,
greedy drivers.
When one thinks of these Inst con
siderations tho horseless age doesn't
secrj so gloomy n prophecy. But If
mini Is wise there will be no horseless
age.
If man has any real wisdom and
that belief, though often disappointed.
never tiles tho horse will be promoted
to the position of humanity's chief pet
and plaything, but nlwnys with a sub
stratum of usefulness which will keep
him from degenerating into a mere toy.
Tho draft horse, tho trotter even the
"gencrul purpose animal" may go, but
the saddle horse ought to stay and
thrive. Just as a uiedlcnl prescription,
be Is well worth while, for tbe old Eng
lish phrase that "the outside of a borse
Is the best thing for tbe insldes of a
mnu" still holds true, and as on In
structor of youth nud a means of real
coutnet with nature be has no rival bnt
the dog. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
