It has beeii'sliecr good fortune, anil tho promptness uf our citizens in checking the first discovery of fires. But we have no reason to expect a continuance of this gooil fortune, not even for 24 hours. Hcnoe as prudent citizens we should at onoc take some measures to se cure more ample means of defense against the devouring element. -What those means are should at once be considered, adopted and provided hy our city government. Thera should be no delay in the matter Different plans have been suggested, each uf which is much better than to remain longer as wc are. Let our citizens stir up this matter m earnest, and let some plan be adopted and carried iuto execution even if it dues cost several thousand dollars. One devastating fire is liable to destroy twenty times tliis cost and even more, THE PETITION OF NORTHERN IDAHO. The people of Northern Idaho do not give up their effort to obtain the separation o£ their section of the Ter ritory from "an unnatural political a! liuoce," as they justly term it, with Southern Idaho. Their desire is to be attached to YY'ashington Territory, and they continue to urge it upon the at tention of Congress. A committee ap pointed by the citizens of the northern section of the Territory have addressed a memorial to Congress, giving a history of the long effort to secure the separa tion, and setting forth tho reasons why the separation is desired. The docu merit is a strong and conclusive one. Idaho has a most unshapely form. Its contour on the map is that of a shoul der of bacon, very badly trimmed, or not trimmod at all. The length of tho Territory from north to south is equal to that of Oregon and Washington to gether. It extends from Nevada and Utah to British Columbia; but the northern part, having an extension of .100 miles, is from forty to seventy miles only in breadth, and is separated from the main body of the Territory by a high, rugged and practically im passable range of mountains—known as the Salmon River range. There is no way of getting from one section of the Territory to tho other except hy p ssing round through Oregon and YVoshington to the west, or through Montana to the cast. The committee show that the unnatural boundaries of Northern Idaho are the result of the ill-considered action taken in fixing the limits of YVashington and Montana; that the people of the northern part of the Territory arc subjected to great in convenience and expense by the pres ent arrangement, which would lie obvi ated entirely hy the union with Wash ington; that Southern Idaho has no need whatever of Northern Idaho, and would have harmonious development without it; that no material or political interest of Southern Idaho will ho af fected by the annexation of Northern Idaho to Washington, while the people of Northern Idaho would be accommo dated and lienefitted in every way by the change. There is certainly no good reason why the prayer of the people of Northern Idaho should not be grant ed. The political geography of the Terri'ory ought to be made to conform to its natural geography, since it can so easily be done.— Oregonian, April 20th. _ Special Rate.—J ohn Muir, Supt. of traffic of O.
