The Corporation Force Pump.

II is possible that one very valuable
feature Of our fire fighting Equipment is
not fully appreciated. Those who Do'ed
the stream from the force pump mains
at The Woodland store fire coud not fall
to observe that 1t WAS very ofiicient and
the question arises as to Why it is NOT
more often made use Of.
The force pump was put ia the mains
laid on Water ard Madison streets
twenty FIVE or thirty years ago. Since
! the steamer was purchased aud part!cu.
larly since the installation Of the water
works IN 1883 there has been tendency
on the part Of both voters, corporation
officials and the fire department 70 unde, =

ance and the consequence Ia that 1t hs :
been out Of commission great part Of
the time. Within the past three years
someone got vote through At corpora

In order and 1t was done. The pump
was taken from its original location IN

for repair, and on its return was install.
| ed under the mill Of the SkowhegsD
Pulp Co. Ii was made use OF at the
Coburn Hall fire but did little service
and 1t was afterward discovered that the
Madison avenue main had burst. The
main on Madison avenue has since been
abandoned so that there is now the
Water street main only, this being in
part of six and in part of four inch pipe
and extending as far as the corner of
North avenue and Water street. o.
this Water street line are four hvdrants.
one nesr the kidder mill, one near
Coburn hall lot, another at the railroad
crossing al one at the terminus Of the
main at North avenue.
The pump is connected with the water
power of the Skowhegsn Pulp Co. and
its source Of supply is the Kennebec
river itself. Ii is capable OF developing

throws about 300 gallons per minute and
could be run for week without stop
! ping should occasion require. OF course
there is danger that the Water street
main, which has been in the ground so
many years, may develop a leak as did
the one on Madison avenue, but until
something of this kind happens it is
obvious that four to six good streams
could be furnished Ia any part of the
business section.
As at present organ Z ID we understand
there is no one to take special interest
in the force pump. Why could not q
detail of say six men be organ into tt
special force pump company with hose
cart or reel assigned for their use.
There would then be a little friendly
rivalry between those coupling to the
city hydrants and the force pump quad
Let The department organize a force
pump hose company and the REPORTER
will be pleased to report as to who gets
the water on first at the next fire ana
which does the best service.

Have We u Fire Bug?

The unusual number of fires which
nave occurred in Skowhegan during the
past year, the cause in most cases net
being apparent, naturally arouses com.
ment, and some recent incidents have
given ri'e to suspicion that part of
them may have been of incendiary ORR
GIN While this is most disapreeable
feeling to entertain and the evidence on
which il rests is far from conclusive. IL
such possibility exists 1t is we'll that
careful attention be given to the matter.
Thursday evening at 9 40, just before
before1he fire at " oodard's store was
discovered, as e. F. Ward was passing
along High street across the Maine Gem
trail tracks toward Madison avenue, a
noise as of one or more persons running.
seemingly between the freight cars in
the vicinity of the Woodland store. a.
tracted his attention. The sound was
unusual enough to cause him to stor
and listen and as he paused in his walk
the party or parties stopped also and re-
NAMED hidden in the shadow of the
cars until Mr.. Ward passed along. The
incident might have been forgotten but
for the alarm of fire which sounded &C
soon, Mr. Ward naturally wondering
what innocent purpose any one could
have had there at the time and why
they should stop SO suddenly to avoid
discovery.
On the following evening another
blaze came to light under rather sus.
picious circumstances. At about eight
o'clock some ladies seated on the yer.
anda at the home of Mrs. M. j. Arnold on
Elm street saw smoke in the rear of the
buildings that front on Madison avenue.
They gave the alarm at once and John
Prescott, Damon Berce, A. Nj. Percival
and others who were at hand found, on
investigation, blaze in pile of crates
and boxes in the rear of Pierce's restau.
rant, between Jewett & Pencils lard
house and a shed connected with the
Rich property. 1t was extinguished
without difficulty but it seemed hard to
explain how it could have caught there
at the time it did SO far as Ia known
everything in the pile of rubbish had
been exposed to the rains of the few
days preceding and was very damp. 1t
hardly seems possible that il could have
caught from a chimney as might have
been the case had everything been dry
On the other hand it would seem that
anyone setting fire for criminal design,
would have chosen a much later hour
1t is to be hoped that Skowhegan har-
bors no individual sufficiently depraved
to wish the destruction of properly by
fire or who is reckless and wicked
enough to set fire to building in which
people are sleeping, but other towns
have been thus unfortunate and if this
is the case here it would be we'll for that
person to reflect that the penalty for
setting fire to any building in the night
time, whether occupied or not, is i'm
prisonment for life and public sentiment
is such toward an incendialy that nc
clemency need be looked for in case OF
detection.
