Tangier Light Escapes Destruction.

According to the report made by Keeper
John +. Javins of Tangier sound light sta
ton. on Chesapeake bay, to Commander
McCrea, inspector of this lighthouse dis
trict, the Tangier light had narrow es-
cape from destruction about two weeks
ago During heavy gale the wreck of the
schooner Mary L. Colbourne, which had
been lying on bar near the light, was
raised from her bed by the high tides and
ice and was driven with great force against
the iron piles supporting the light and for
a short time it looked as If the light would
be destroyed. The impact of the vessel
carried away the standing .spars on the
vessel and damaged the roof of the light
station. The dereiict, Keeper Javins says,
Is still lying against the light in such a
position as to greatly interfere with the
showing of the light. and should south
eriy blow come IL would do further damage
TO the station On receipt of the report a
lighthouse tender was sent to Tangier. and
the dereiict will be removed.

Regarding Restrictions.
With reference to restrictions the Com
missoners express the opinion that the
corporation proposed to be created by the
bill should be subject to all the restrictions
contained in the code of laws for the DIS
trict of Columbia in relation to corporations
organized for manufacturing purposes un-
der the general Incorporation laws contain
ed therein. They also think the corpora
ton should be required to submit 10

missoners and the company required, I'M
der penalty of forfeiture of Its eharter 10
install the system called for In the approx
ed plan. Provision could be made for ex-
tensions to the system thereafter under
permits by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners believe further that
provision should be made as to the price or
quality of the article sold, such as Tor In
stance is required of gas light companies,
and that specific provision should be made
that the company shall deposit in advance
all sums of money necessary in the opinion
of the Commissioners to provide for proper
inspection of the work and the restoration
of all pavements disturbed in connection
herewith
In the opinion of the Commissioners the
provision in regard to taxation should be
amended so as to require that the company
shall pay not only per centum of its gross
receipts, but also the regular prescribed
tax on any realty it may, acquire. This
will be in line with the Taxation require
ments as to street RAILROAD and other public

IMPORTANT!

1t would be wise not to carry
large sums of money about the per-
son or leave them in your residence
during the inaugural week. The
better plan will be to deposit the
money at this bank. where it will
be absolutely secure, and thus re-
lieve yourself of all anxiety.

Many Effective Streams.

t'With the high pressure system installed
and the fire hydrants erected as intended,
not over 200 feet apart, the fire department
will be able to get six effective fire streams
from each of the hydrants. To get eighteen
effective fire streams it would require but
three hose wagons. At the present time
the department has sixteen steamers and
sixteen hose carriages in regular service
and at any one fire it cannot get eighteen
effective streams from it's sixteen engines.
In case of a cenf1agraton three wagons
could lead out six lines each from the
hydrants in front of the fire, and If neces
sary three more wagons could lead out six
lines each from the street in the rear of
the fire. making thirty-six effective streams
and only six wagons called into service.
Il am of the opinion that If this system
is installed the department will be
able to successfully cope with any fire oc-
curing within the proposed high pressure
service district. The installation of this
insurance rates to the business men and a
reduction to the taxpayers in cost of MAIN
tanning a costly fire department at pres
ent, but will give to the city system for
fire-fghting far more effective than it's
present method. 1t is the intention of the
department to give in the near future
public demonstration to show to the inSur-
ance and business men of the city what re-
suits can be obtained from the high pres
sure system.
Commissioner Mcfarland says he will
use the substance of this report in his argu-
ment before the committees of Congress
next session for the installation of the high
pressure service.

HIGH-PRESSURE TEST
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS By
FIRE CHIEF BELT.
Report Made to Commissioners Shows
Expectations Of Department
Were Far Exceeded.

The results of the experiments conducted
last Thursday afternoon by Chief Engineer
VIM. T. Belt of the fire department under
direction of Commissioner Macfarland, with
the gravity high pressure water service
from the high pressure hydrant located at
18th and u streets northwest, "far exceed
ed the expectations of the department" &C
cording to the report of the test submitted
to the Commissioners by Chief Belt today.
The fire hydrant is connected with -
inch main, the water coming from the Reno
reservoir. about FIVE miles from the fire hy-
drant used. Nine different tests were made
with a different number of lines of hose.
With three lines of hose three two-inch
streams were each thrown a distance Of
242 feet. the pressure being 135 pounds. In
another test. with three lines OF hose, the
water was thrown distance of 256 fee.,
and with four lines of hose water was
thrown 10 feet, the hydrant showing a
pressure of So pounds
In commenting on the experiments Chief
Belt gives an interesting description of the
high pressure service which Ii Is proposeI
to install in the business section of Wash
ington, and OF the results that can be &C.
complished by the use of the high pressure
service. Chief Belt among other things.
says:
THE result of the experiments far ex-
ceeded the expectations OF this department
for the reason of the fire hydrant being con-
nected to a Pinch main at point of ele-
walton so many feet higher than the bus
ness center of the city, which the pro-
posed high pressure service Is to protect.
This test demonstrated very clearly that
the system can give even a great deal bet
ter fire service on its extreme boundaries
than the present system of fire engines.
1.-The proposed gravity high pressure sys-
tenn is to utilize the water pressure of the
Reno reservoir, which is Ais feet above tide
level, by large trunk mains. The feed main
to be 80 inches, with laterals of II, 16 and
Il inches, and the fire MIGRANTS to be con-
nected to the 12-inch mains. A pressure of
between $50 and 200 pounds can be OBJ
tanned and maintained in the business sec
ton of the city.

SUGGEST AMENDMENT
AUTHORITIES NOT SATISFIED
WITH BILL OF INCORPORATION.
Restrictions Imposed in
Pending Bill Upon Heating and
Refrigerating Company.

The District Commissioners have submit
ted to Congress a report ON the bill to in
corporate the Economic Heating and Re-
frigerating Company. The purpose of the
bill is to permit system Of pipes to be
laid in the streets, avenues, alleys and
public places in the District, for the pur-
pose of transmitting steam heat or re-
frigerating fluid to public places and pri-
vate consumers in similar manner, so
it is understood in which gas and electricity
are now furnished
The Commissioners state that they know
OF no reason why. under suitable restric-
tions and regulations, such a heating and
refrigerating system for the use of private
consumers should not be authorized in the
same manner as gas and electricity are now
furnished. To permit this to be done will
cause considerable public Inconvenience in
cutting streets, but 1t Is believed that
inconvenience. The bill in its present form,
they believe, however, does not provide
suitable restriction and regulation of the
matter.
Statement of Commissioners.
In their statement relative to the prop
osition the Commissioners say:
''The bill authorizes certain individuals
named therein. their associates. successors
and assigns, to form body corporate under
the name of the Economic Heating and Re-
frigerating Company; authorizes said COM
pany, under rules and regulations prescribed
by the Commissioners and after securing
the necessary permit to construct and
maintain their system OF heating and re-
frigerating pipes and to make connections
with private houses and public buildings,

CADETS co HOME.
SPEND MOST PLEASANT WEEK IN CAMP
AND HAVE PRoPirIous WEATHER
FINEST CAMP GROUNDS IN STATE
RETURN TO THEIR PARENTS, SUM-
BURNED BUT HAPPY

The Denver high school cadets who
have spent the past week in camp on
the grounds just below the city limits
have had one continual round of pleas
ure during their stay. Aside from the
incidents of camp life, which have fur
nished no small share of pleasures, the
swimming pool at the natatorium has
been one of the greatest attractions.
Many of the you feminine hearts
this city were affected by the military
regalia and could hardly resist the tenn
tation to fiirt just little. and il is possi-
Bile that several of the embryo soldiers
will return to their homes in Denver
with heart affliction.
The camp was named Camp Wells in
honor OF Adjutant General Buckley
Wells OF the state militia, and that
gentleman paid visit to the camp last
Wednesday, when about two hundred
parents, friends. sisters and sweethearts
came up from the capital city on the
two regular trains. The trains we're
wer stopped at the railway siding near
the camp saving the visitors one mile
walk from the depot. Dress parade was
given in the afternoon and large num-
Der of people of this city visited the
grounds. Some of the visitors remained
until today taking advantage of the fine
weather prevailing and enjoying the
mountain air and sunshine.
Yesterday the cadets took a march of
foar miles up Chicago creek, taking a
wagon load OF lunch with them. Need
less TO say all were equipped with an ex-
ceilent appetite. Today the boys break
camp and return to their homes The
officers are pleased with the treatment
accorded the Cadets since their arrival.
and appreciate the efforts of the Chamber
OF Commerce as well as the citizens TO
make their stay one which will long be
remembered as most pleasant vacation.
As the result of the excellent camping
facilities and the sanitary conditions at
the old ball grounds. inquiry has been
made for camping privileges by officers
of the state militia. Col. G.. NJ. Butler.
of Golden. has been advised that the mi
litia would be accorded the same treat
ment received by the cadets. and it is
probable that from IFS TO 200 members
oi the state militia organization will
avail themselves Of the opportunity to ga
into camp here Tor week or ten days.
