Ar- | rangements were made yesterday ana Strothers has agreed to donate h services for the campaign. The Hen- {ning hotel building has been named as probably the most appropriate place to do the climbing stunts, al- tho Saturday the climb may be over jthe Oil Exchange building. Strothers has been termed as the dare-devil of all stunt climbers. About a week ago in Denver while climbing ten stories a window carelessly was shut in his face by two boys and he his balance. But Strothers’ irom ferve kept “him safe on his-up- ward climb. He is making climbs at Cheyenne similar to the ones to be given here. The forerunner of the big drive of| the Salvation Army started yester. day when four campaigners visited the Standard refinery and reported} excellent results in the short time they were there. They were not at the refinery long enough to go thro |an entire shift, but all those asked responded cheerfully and contribu- tors were reporting up until late last night at the headquarters in the tem- porary hut at Third and Center treets. They made their pledges in the afternoon and turned in their money last night Two ex-service men and two Sai- \vation Army girls visited the Stand- jard refinery yesterday. The Midwest refinery will be visited either today or during néxt week. The work of gathering individual subscriptions will not start untiy some time next week according to present indications.

IRRIGATION BAN LIFTED; SUPPLY BETTER WATER The water situation here was considerably improved yesterday when William Jones, water com- missioner, reported both reservoi! practically full and the supply ade- quate enough to permit irrigation last night. Men from the water department notified persons in some parts of the city about the rai ef the ban on all irrigation end sprinkfing with the result that many residents with lawns and gardens had the water going full tilt after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The old regulations and hours in rd to sprinkling last issued | will be in effect but irrigation will be allowed. The one pump at the city water plant was working in good shape yesterday and today and little trouble w anticipated by Mr. Jones. The pipe for the new 14- inch line is reported unofficially on the way but it is not known when it will arrive or whether it will reach here within the next two weeks or not.

MOTOR CAR MUST PULL UP 10 CURB Negligence on on Pat ol of Automobile! Owners Results Strict Orders Being Issued by Head- quarters The “posstbility of a serious acci- ,dent thru having motor cars in the path of fire trucks speeding to fires in the business district has resulted in the issuance of a strict order from fire headquarters today. Last night to the Riverview hotel in answer to a false alarm, several accidents were narrowly averted because motor car : drivers blocked the path of the speed- ing trucks. The rule of the city fire depart- ment is that on the sound or an ap- proaching fire truck, all motor car dri-! vers must pull into the curbing and remain there until the fire apparatus has passed. This applies to fire trucks , going to or returning from fires. They | have the right-of-way both ways. Last night o: car Was nearly smashed near the Henning hotel when| the driver persisted in getting in 85, way of a truck returning from the call near the court house. Police officers have been instructed to see | that this city regulation about pulling | int othe curbing is rigidly enforced With the city hall, headquarters for all fire apparatus located five blocks from the business section and | separated from the main business dis- trict by a much-used railroad track, the firemen charged with protecting thousands of dollars worth of property demand the right-of-way in reaching blazes inthe least possible time. The habit of parking cars too deep near dance pavilions on Center street must be abandoned at+once, accord- ing to word at fire headquarters this | morning. Center street is narrow | enough with cars parked on both sides | at night but with either side lined with cars two deep, the danger both | to firemen and persons on the street is obvious. The practice of calling fire head- quarters when the water department is desired may prove disastrous if some other person should want to re- pore a fire, firemen said today.
