concluded; A safe example of the

Fire Alarm Signal.

1t has been SOME time since we have
published the location of the Fire Alarm
boxes in town, there is uncertainty
in the minds of many in regard to them
and we publish the following for the
public good.
There are eight boxes located and
numbered as follows:
%, Main Street, near the residence of
LlewellYn Goodwin.
%, Corner East Front and Main SITS.
az, East Front Street, near residence
of l.. L. Walton.
80, Corner Pleasant and Summer SITS.
81, AT the Post Office.
SO, Corner North and High Streets.
80, Madison Avenue, at Leavitt Street.
AZ, MadisoA Avenue, at Russell Road,
near residence of |. j. Smith.
10, Private Box, Office of the Electric
Light Company at the plant on the
Island, inside.
1t is well to bear in mind the follow
ing directions;
In CT Sc of fire go to box nearest the
fire, break glass in small box to get at
the key, unlock the large box, pull hook
down once and let go. Stay ut the box
until the fire apparatus arrives, to. give
the department the exact location of the
fire. The signal given as above blows
the Special Fire Alarm Whistle situated
at the K. l.. Mitchell factory. This
whistle automatically sounds the num-
Der of the box from which alarm is given
in, by short blasts. For example--if the
hook is pulled at No. 3S, the whistle
would first give three blasts and then
eight more. This is repeated four times.
The alarm at the Electric Light station
is ten short blasts, repeated as above.
This fire alarm system works to a
charm and is grand thing for our town.
There should, however, be few more
alarm boxes and this necessity will be
met In due time.

Building Operations

A r. cent visit IT, Madison makes it ap-
parent 10 us. TINT rbpid progress Is bel X
made on the pulp and paper plsnt of The
Great Nor hern Company, there. The
work is b,i ing push, d TO lis utmost.
Manager Smith informed us on Friday
last, that he expects to- have his ma
chinery running early in November.
The job of rebuilding the suIphite pol
tion OF the plast, building anew the
wood grinding, and the paper making
parts OF the complete pulp and paper
mills, has been an extensive one. The
work of tearing down and removing
worthless material, including the acid
tower and the come citing pipes and ina
chinery, has been work of no mean pro-
portions. This may readily be realized
by the debris that has at times filled the
yards. Sixty carloads of "scrap," once
expensive machinery, have been shipped
away over the Somerset railway during
the progress Of work of demolition.
The element of experiment, so large
lv pervading the former construc-
tion of the Manufacturing and Invest
ment Company's plant there, does not
enter into the present complete structure
for transforming spruce logs into white
paper. The buildings erected, methods
of Manufacture and machinery adopted
and used, have been tested by expert
ence. the latest and the best. Therefore
there can be no question but that, this
time, the expenditure of nearly a half
million dollars will be productive of
satisfactory results.
Cephas Hilton has the plans Of his
hotel on paper, has had the grounds
cleared and surveyed and purposes to
proceed forthwith to erect his stable
this fall, and to make his arrangements
to strike the main building of the hostel

way of delay in getting some of the
material, as is apt to be the case in such
enterprises.
