WHY NOT BAND CONCERTS7
Band Stand at a Bargain and Material
for a First Class Band.
augusta Should Have Better Luck This Tine
IN Securing Band Concerts.

Ihefes no question but that the peo-
PIE generally like to listen to the music
OF good band in an outdoor concert.
you may not be one of those. but il
not then you are the exception.
Augusta has an abundance of excel
lent material for band, only lacking
little encouragement. She has the
people who enjoy such things. She
ought to have an available site for a
band stand.
she can get a first class band stand
already built for one-third what it cost
70 build about two years ago.
Mr.. Dennis. the well known leader,
says II there were band stand he can
guarantee that several concerts would
be given just to let the people see what
we have got in the way of a musical
organization of that sort If the peo-
pie liked 1t, approved of holding such
out door band concerts, the men who
would furnish the music would not ex-
pect personal remuneration. At most
they would only expect some aid in the
way of expenses, which are never alb
sent from the maintenance of such an
organization. for room rent, for new
music. for uniforms, etc.
Here is an opportunity to redeem the
reputation we got. among ourselves Of
course, but most of us have not for
spirited citizens offered to give
the lumber fer a stand, another the
hardware. another the paint, others the
labor. etc. Then came profusion of
ideas as to where the stand ought to be
and ought not to be located. AT last
accounts that matter was undecided,
and the people were more or less dis
gusted.
About two years ago. A. T. Fuller who
was developing a park in connection with
the observatory had fine ornamental
band stand constructed on the Hill in the
grove back of the observatory. There it

pair. and the Journal hears through
third party that Mr. Fuller would sell
that stand for about one-third of what ii
cost. Probably for s75 or sl00 this band
stand could be purchased and moved onto
any site that might be chosen for it.
As to the site. there are several though
none. perhaps. just what might be wished
in all respects for we have not a large
park. AS we remember, among the sites
suggested when the subject was under
discussion several years ago, was. on the
park on the "heater piece near the Au-
gusta house. on the hill just west of the
court house. and probably some may re-
call others, or suggest them now.
Mr. Dennis thinks that with such en-
coura cement Augusta could have as good
a band as there is in the Kennebec valley,
if not better Augusta musicians are fire.
duentIy employed in the Watervilie band
and elsewhere. AS matters are now,
with no incentive to keep up good or
panization. the Cadet Band does very
credit3ble work, as those who attended
the Decoration day exercises will appre-
ciate.
Why not have better at little expense

TUESDAY AFTERNOONS FIRE.
ceny. White & Haynes ice House and Dwell.

The ice houses and dwelling house
owned by Cony, White & Haynes, stu
ated just south of Britt's gully. were
destroyed by fire, Tuesday afternoon.
The house was occupied by Herbert

noon and had dinner He was return

when he heard cries of Fire" FROM

dense smoke rising in the air near his
home. and quickly returning. found
that the ice house was mass OF flames

half house ell and shed, was just north
of the ice houses. and so quickly did

of about 5000 tons, an engine house.
with engine and hoisting outfit and /
tool house with a full set of ice tools.
| The houses were empty. The whole
plant was destroyed. except a few
tools from the lower part of the tool
house.
Another house north of Webber's
home, occupied by VIII Hamilton, was
threatened by flying cinders. but quick
work by the people who gathered, in
wetting the roofs of the building. sated
them.
The ice plant was started in 1856. The
location is a good one and as high rs
u, 900 tons has been put up. Some
years ago Il part of the houses blew
Down and with repairs, the part burned
yesterday was the whole OF the plant.
The buildings were last filed in 1898.
Grading had been done and there is
room for buildings of "a capacity of
90, 900 tons.
The alarm was rung in from box 50.
The firemen started for the fire, but as
there was no way of reaching the burn
ing buildings from the hydrants and as
1t was too late to set the steamer. Chief
Kicker ordered them back. with the ex-
ception of Is of the Hook and Ladder
boys, who remained to- protect the
ether buildings.
The loss is estimated at something
over $4,000 on the ice house plant and
5000 on Webber's goods. The insuf-
ance is placed as follows: In G. T.
Downing's agency, $1,000 on ice houses:
$500 on lumber stored within: $400 Oh
ice tools; $3.50 on the stable or tool
house. In Macomber & Fairs agency,
S4O0 on the dwelling; 800 on the stable.
Total insurance. S2450.
There is not much doubt but what
the fire was set by tramps either smok-
ing or cooking food. They have long
made the ice houses rendezvous, anu.
! although driven away time and time
again, return for a nights lodging or
resting place.
The fire spread very rapidly and as
green as the grass now is, it ran in the
old stuff about the roots with great
| rapidity. giving no little trouble IN
keeping it within control. Chief Kicker
says that if the alarm had been given
when the fire was discovered he
might have saved the house uy placing
the steamer at the river side. As it
was, the alarm was not sent in till 1.3o
and the buildings were then in ruins.
