Show THE LESSON LESS ON tim THE lesson of the ogden fire as of all fires in this western count country rZ is that it is best to make buildings as substantial and as near fireproof fire proof as is reason reasonably ably practicable it may cost less in the end to put up the right kind of buildings at first than to put up mere shells sheils firetraps fire traps tinder boxes which is is largely the kind of buildt buildings digs that have been erected in this city and in others in the territory in tile the last few years perhaps Perli peril aps in many instances the persons building have not been able to build more substantially but in others it is fair to presume that the tile case has been different and more moro solid 2 fire resisting structures might have haye been peen erected A street of gingerbread g shells for houses or stores is i not much to boast of although they may various temporary purposes but they are worse than nothing before a devouring firmand fire and in view of the flimsy and very combustible character of many of the houses and stores of our chief cities it may be considered providential that extensive and dasas trus conflagrations have not been numerous hew long we may continue to be so blessed bles bies sedis ia not for us to say but it is manifestly prudent r to encourage those who eu build iii ili to avail themselves of every every practical precaution to prevent the possibility lity of any such strophe catastrophe cat as some cities have been afflicted w with th in the shape of widespread wide spread and heavy destruction by fire THAT

data whereupon to reasonably predicate a successful accomplishment early in the future much will be if the present venture prove a success prof wise will earn an undying name and the voyage will be the commencement of a new era in in over ocean travel and although the number cumber of people who may rilay patronize that method of voyaging is likely to be few at least for some years to come yet a

essential point in my accusation agrain against st him that point is not simply that he administered dangerous medicines uncertain in at all times and doubly so in the pecullar ne Re culiar cullar condition of the patient as chloral chlor ar for example when the patients brain ba hau bad d all the while been and still was in a condition of marked excitement and subsequently morphine aggravating
