The family had retired and, as was their custom, left the lamp burning although turned quite low. At about one o'clock Mrs, Haskins was aroused by a sputtering noise wnich seemed to come from the room in which the lamp was burning. She hurried into the room and discovered that the flame from the lamp reached almost to the ceiling. She grasped the lamp with the intention of throwing it out doors, at the same time calling to Mr, Haskins. Before Mrs.

Haskins could get to the door with the blazing lamp it exploded, scattering the burning oil all over the room and in a instant the entire room seemed to be in flames.

One ear ago this week the Echo passed from the hands of Forrest War ren vho got out the first issue on April 1S99, to the present owner. During this, the first year of our ex perience in newspaper work, we have had our share of tips and downs, our encouragements and disapp ointments But on the whole our disappoint ments have been nothing more than one might expect wniie tne continued liberal patronage of the people of Vliets and vicinity has certainly been all that one could have hoped for. In return for the kindly feeling which has been shown the Echo we have endeavored tD give our pat rons all of the local news and to do this In a manner which would in no way injure the feelings of the most sensitive. But "to err is human" and we doubt not that we have made a great many mistakes likewise perhaps some few enemies, but for that matter who hasn't? "He has no enemies you say, My friend the boast is poor He who has mingled in the fray, The brave endure, Must have made foes; If he has none small is the work That he has done; He has struck no coward on the hip He cast no cup from perjured lip He never turned a wrong to right He's been a coward in the fight." We trust, however, that the enemies are few and that the Echo may in the future, as in the past, be enabled to hold its place among the prosperous business enterprises of the most prosperous and progressive little town along the Central Branch.
