FIREsoAT sPouTs TORRENTS.
Manager Du Val. Of the Pacific Insur-
ance Union, Sees the Tests and
Praises the Department.

Mr.. w. s. Du Val, of San Francisco, general
manager OF the Pacific Insurance Union, arrived
in the city yesterday and is at the Rainier hotel.
He Is going through the Northwest on q tour OF
inspection, and will make no changes in ratings.
During the day the fire department gave an
exhibition, which had been arranged IL the sug-
gcstion OF the Seattle board of underwriters. 1t
was witnessed by Mr. Du Val, Mr.. A. J. Wright,
vice president of the Springfield, Mass, Fire
and Marine Insurance Company, Mr..
George Easton, of San Francisco, one of his
adjusters, and Mr. Fuller, special agent OF the
Norwich Union
III the afternoon the fireboat was tested. She
steamed out into the harbor and gave a show
ing of her speed and maneuyering. In pump
ing she threw six streams $50 feet. For the first
time the salt water mains at the foot OF Pike
street were tried. Some difficulty was expert
enced at the start from the fact that the mains
were elogged, but the pumping Of the freboat
soon cleared them, and they worked in very
satisfactory way.
Last night an alarm was sounded and the
department called out. None of the men ex-
cept Chief kellogg and the electrician, George
ID. Snow, knew OF the plan, and so there was no
special preparation. But the department made
very quick time. The engine from headquarters
reached the point from which the alarm Yves
sent in-Madison and Third streets-in IL min
utes. The engine from Pike street and Third
had water on in the same length OF time, while
the North Seattle company came down in 81
minutes. Truck companies and 2, and chem
ical engines and 2, also appeared promptly.
Last night Mr.. Du Val expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the fire department.: "it
is well equipped aud well trained said he,
sand the answers to the calls were made in
wonderfully quick time.

adapted to her purpose. am very sure that the
money put into her has been wisely expended

which IL now building at Port Hadiock. This is
ioating dock having displacement Of s,oO
tons, q length OF 81 feet and width of 100. The
cost Is $4,000. The company having the en-

OF the stock in city. As Captain De Lion the pres

place had raised for him some So, 800. But they
did not pay up the subsidy promptly according
TO the agreement and SO he proposed taking the

Ii no doubt in my mind that the dry dock il
brought here without any subsidy would pay
the company well. There is plenty Of business

I do not think we can raise $4,000 on a proposal
to get the dock here, bur hope some satisfactory
arrangement can be made
Colonel shcafc said: "One great advantage of
the dock would be that it would make this city
center of ship supplies of ell kinds, and the
importance OF Seattle as a port would be con-
slderably increased. If every man interested ii
getting the dock here would give ali he could
aEosd in order TO bring it, we should have no

Fire was discovered in the California bakery,

BY Mrs. Otto Schmidt, wife of one OF the pro-
prietors, who was sleeping in the building. She
ran out in her night clothes and gave
the alarm and the fire was suppressed before
much damage was done.
The fire originated in the ceiling above the
oven. Mr. Schmidt stated That he closed the
furnace about II 80 o. IN. and-wens to bed, being
fast asleep when luckily his wife was awakened
by the smoke. The only explanation OF the
origin OF the fire is that the ceiling must have
taken fire from the fiue.
