SMITHS GUN STORE,
IDITAROD. ALASKA
One of the most important questions
that will be brought to the attention of the
new city administration will be that of
more adequate lire protection. The present
plant consists of a pump operated bv a
steam engine, and mains of four-inch hose.
While fire lias been kept under tin* boiler
constantly all winter, it is claimed that un
der the most favorable circumstances it
would require at !<m-t twenty minutes to
generate sullicient steam to operate the
•pump.
Some discussion has been given to the
.-ubiect <>f dispensing with the present steam
plant and substituting a gasoline engine and
pump therefor. The argument put forth in
favor i f this plan is that such a plant would
be tvady for operation at a moment's no
tice m i age oi lire.
Iditarod has been singularly fortunate
during the past winter in its immunity from
fire. Hut ( in* alarm has been turned in,
and in that instance an incipient blaze was
extinguished without the aid of the city
equipment. It is pointed out, however, that
the general construction of the buildings of
llie city is such that should a serious tire
break out, the whole city might be en
dangered in the space of time required to
get up steam at the tire station, especially
sin old there be a high kind blowing. Tlie.se
win* contend for a change of equipment
point out that a gasoline engine would be
ready for instant operation, thus living
valuable time, which is essential in lid. m;
tire. The eo.-t of installing the new ap
i ti; us might easily be saved in one lire
1 >\ rea-.ui of the fact that water could In
turned on in a shorter space of time.
The im.M'T of e >st will enter largely into
the t'’ ]ii‘• rad<-ns en the subject. The pres
ent equipment repremeits an investment of
about Jd.UOO, it is no It rstood. The con
templat d i hinery might c »st an equal
amount, or less. It would bo unfair, how
ever, argue the advocates of the proposed
plan, to consider the steam plant as aj
dead loss; it should be charged up as so i
much insurance during the time it has been
install'd. Furthermore, it is possible thatl
it might be disposed of for a goodly sum. j
The determining factor, however, will be j
the amount of funds available for the cur-1
rent year. The fire and street committees
of the council are expected to report shortly!
to a meeting of the council on plans being
outlined, and estimates cun then be made
of the sums available.

| instead the Indian had hurried off to
' Georgetown to notify the United States
commissioner.
It is said that Commissioner Slier was
about ready io leave for Iditarod. and as
thi re were no funds at his di-posal to c n
duct an investigation, nothing was done.

CARRANZA’S ATTITUDE ON
AMERICAN iN i ER vrLN! iON
Out and out defiance of interven:i ni in
was breathed
■ ■ General Can nza under i N
date. puLli.-hcd in tiie New Yi rk World of
March 4.
“I can say positively,M the general was
fji.nted as saying, “that intervention will
not accomplish what Am *ric:t thinks, but
will provoke a war which, besides its own
e« i. sequences. would deepen the profound
hatred between the two countries and he
aven the United States and the whole of
Latin America a hatred which would en
danger America’s political future.
“What would I do if intervention should
come? I would do my duty. I came t bis
cuss the subject further. I don’t believe in
tervention is probable, however, because
die reasons for such a Step are contrary to
America’s interests.
“I don’t believe America will intervene
mi account of the Benton case. In any I
■vent, it is not America’s business to inter- '
wile, because Benton was a British subject,
not an American. 1 will accept represent a- I
duns only from the British government so
far as Benton is concerned.
‘'England now has an accredited repre- ,
■tentative with the Huerta government. H ;
accepted Huerta’s invitations, takes his hat
off to him and shakes hands with him. |
“Benton’s killing was due to a malicious
a;: ack mi (iein-ra! Vi Ha. by an enemy of

bully, fmind herself in the io .-Ition of bring

herself by sending a representative to the
■(institutionalists.
“bo she ail';.!*!- ! to u.-e America as a
it.-p:: v. Tin more shame to America that
she allowed herself to join the-e infamous
(lowers.
“it is true that Villa, at my order, re
ca 11 e;! hi.- iii\.( t!ion n r an examination of
Benton's l.-»dy and withdrew tile permission
he had given. He did this because 1 in
