THOSE who fayor a paid fire department have n:ver yeb given any reascn to the council orto the people why sucha depart- ment should be created in Be- midji, beyond the general one that they wish to improve the service. How a paid department will improve the service is not explained. The present volunteer depart- ment consists of 45 men.

It is claimed that this will save money and increase the efficiency of the department. The records show that the average number of men who have attended fires out of the mem- bership of 45 is 26 for the past year, exclusive of policemen. If a membership of 45 will bring out but 26 men, how many men willa membership of 25 bring out? Not enough, it is certain. It is replied that men can be hired on the spot. What then would be the saving? And would not the men so hired, temporar- ily, be less efficient than the regular firemen, trained especi- ally in their duoties? In case the §5 department is cr ated, the firemen will receive %5 more per year thana’ present, butin case they are disabled they must pay their own doctor’s bill’s and haveno relief fund to fall bacl upon, inasmuch as the relief fund of $9J0 built up by the present volunteer depart- ment must be paid into the city vreasury if a-paid or part paid department 1s created. What flreman wants to make the ex- change? Again, the present yolunteer department choses its own officers, maintains a run- ning team and in other ways is able to create an interest that will be totally lacking ina paid department, which works simply for dollars and in the selection of whose officers ithas no choice. Under such circumscances will the city get as good seryice as it does at present? The results then of the pro- posal to create a paid depart- ment seem to be these: 1. Costs the city $125 more per year than at present in ac- tual wages paid. 2. Decreases the number of trained men who will tendance at fires. 3. Robs the department of that esprit de corps which has made the volunteer successful. 4. Takes away the relief now provided for firemen who are in- jured or disabled. In other words the proposed change means greater expense and less efficiency, which means higher taxes and increase in in- surance rates. be in at- system so r—-— Colds It should be borne in mind that I every cold weakens the lungs, Jow- ers the vitality and prepares the system for the more serious dis- eases, among which are the two greatest datm‘{m of human life, pueumonia and consumption.

BURIED DEEP IN TUNNEL. Laborers Working Desperately to Save Imprisoned Comrades. New York, Dec, 20.—Two men bur- ¥+ forty feet deep in a tunnel facing death in three different forms—-by starvation, suffocation or drowning— and about 200 of their comrades a few leet above them digging against time to save their lives is the situation at the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel in Long Island City. For more than thir- ty hours these two workmen have been entombed in this tunnel by the cavein of it mouth and it is by no means certain that there are only two men buried. The police of lLong Island City say there are six. The tunnel is being built under the East river to Manhattan island, but the entombed men are not under the river bed. They are sealed up in the approach under Long Island City and it is reported that the water from the river, which now fills the part of the tunnel directly under the river bed, is kept back from them by the force of the compressed air continually pumped into their prison chamber. The res- cuers are sinking a forty-foot deep shaft straight toward the roof of the tunnel as near to the place where the workmen are supposed to be as is pos- sible to estimate. If this shaft is not very close to the men there is danger when it at last pierces the cement roof that all its work will have been in vain, that the compressed air will be released and allow the water to engulf the men before their comrades can take them out. Later in the day rescuers penetrated the tunnel in a boat and two men were taken out. They informed those at work that they were the only ones entombed in the tunnel. FOREIGN MARINES LANDED.

A druggist prepared me some medicine, and a J:hysician pre- scribed for me, yet I did not inaprove. I then tried Foley’s Honcy and Tar, and eight doses cured me.’’ e ‘Three sizes—25c, 50c, $1.00.
