THE WEST INDIES.

You have made a particular effort in
your exposition to get into touch with
the West Indies. This is wise. The
events of the last four years have
shown US that the West Indies and the
Isthmus must in the future occupy L
far larger place in our national policy
than in the past. This is proved by the
negotiations for the purchase Of the
Danish islands. tie acquisition OF
Puerto Rico, the preparation for build
ing an Isthmian canal. and. finally, by
the changed relations which these
years have produced between Us and
Cuba.

On Monday, the special committee of
the Portland city government signed a
lease with Jacob p. Shattuck for
tract of land on his farm in East Deer
ing for a rifle range for the construc-
ton of which $500 has been sappro-
priated. The lease is for five years

The city government committee consist

active in this matter, and it is due
largely to their efforts that such de-

LOCAL HOSE COMPANIES
Vii! Contest For Cup offered BY Hon.
J. n. Manley.

Augusta is justly proud Of its fire
department. Many compliments have
been heard for its members, especially
since the burning of the old Academy
building, Il short time ago. The fire
men fought the flames nobly, that
morning, and succeeded in confirming
them to the building. and saving the
surrounding property when the pros
Iects We're very good foI their spread
ing So efficient has the work been in
the past that the first two companies
called have usually handled the fire
The call for the remaining three COM
panes has seldom been given. The
members of these companies are, how
ever none the less faithful to their
trust than their colleagues, and take
much pride in the work. They only
wait for the opportunity to come when
they can show their work.
Hon. ]. II. Manley has offered a low
ing cup to be awarded to the winning
company among the three reserve or
carnations in contest to be held in
the future. The details of the contest
are to be arranged by Chief Engineer
G. w. Kicker and Alderman 5. G.
Manley. Alderman c. A. Messer. and
CounCilmen r. a. Scribner, d. P. Fos-
ter and F. w. Chadwick, constituting

contest will be with hose carriages and
will be made on Water or State street.
or some other convenient place to be
decided upon.
Chief Engineer Kicker in behalf of
the fire department wishes to thank
Mr.. Manley for the interest manifested
in offering the cup. The firemen are
taking much interest in the contest
and it's success is assured. Mr.. Man
ley's letter to the chief engineer is as
follows:
Augusta Me-, May 6, 1902.
Mr. Charles w. Kicker, Chief Engineer,
Fire Department.
NV dear Mr.. Ricker:-TOgether with
all cur citizens, | have always fully APP
preciated the Excellent organization
and management of our fire depart
ment. and the loyalty and unselfish in
terest of its members. The results ac-
complished have made record for our
city for which we have to thank you
and all your associates.
It seems to me that it would stimu-
late further interest among the three
hose companies, Volunteer No. 3, Pine
Tree No. and Capital No. 5. which are
not so frequently called upon as are
Cushnoc No. 1 and Atlantic No. 2, and
also be of interest and value TO our
citizens generally if friendly race be
tween the three companies could be
arranged.
IF this suggestion meets with your
approval it will give me great pleasure
to offer a cup as a prize for the win
ming company. The details OF the race
would. of course. be arranged by you
and the committee on fire department.
Very sincerely yours.
