The different companies of the Fire
Department were on the qui vive Sun
day in anticipation of the alarm that
was to be sounded some time between
2 and 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, by
order of Chief Ostendorf, to test the
ability Of each company to reach fire
in quick time and good working order.
The alarm was turned in from No. Al,
at 2::3O o'clock, locating the fire at
Claiborne. Each company responded
promptly, arriving on the scene pretty
much in the order of distance to be
travelled. No. of Jefferson, driven
by Wallace Poole, came in first;
Chemical No. l, driven by N. J. Seller,
close second; Hook and Ladder,
driven by R. W. Badon, third; No. l
of Jefferson, driven by Mauric e
Planche, fourth. Probably there was
little difference in the different COM
panies in the time actually consumed
in travelling a given distance. The
crest of the hill at Claiborne was reach
ed in three minutes from the time the
alarm was sounded.
From Claiborne the different COM
panies went to the residence Of Mr..
VIM. Bodebender, where the pumps
were tested and ladder practice en-
gagged in. The work Of pump No. !
was fine, throwing a good stream
that would have been effective in
actual service. Pump No. 2 was
shown to have some defect in the
valves, and as a result of this practice
trial was overhauled by order Of the
Chief and is now in perfect order anC

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TURNS OUT IN
RESPONSE TO CALL FROM THE CHIEF

The ladders were put into service in
quick order, two of then reaching the
second story with ease, extending
about four feet over the apex of
the barn. In order to facilitate the
handling of the ladders the corners
were rounded to prevent striking on
steps.
The Chemical gave no exhibition as
the cost OF chemicals is quite an item
Of expense. The cost of chemicals alone
at the last fire was S1605.
The Chief states that at the next
calling out Of the department he will
have real fire of some kind and the
call will probably be made in the
evening.
Previous to sounding the alarm last
Sunday the Chief slipped around to
the different engine houses and caught
the boys mapping. Horses were hitch
ed and awaiting the alarm. AS most
of the companies have no special
horses for this work and no opportun-
ity for special training in getting them
into the shafts, the Chief finally al
lowed the horses to be placed in the
shafts but not harnessed. in order
that each might have an equal chance.
The Chief states his intention to
make monthly reports to the depart
ment with recommendations as to
needed changes or improvements.
! Mr.. Louis Wehrli, Sr., has made
Jefferson a present Of half dozen
i regulation firemen hats and one white
hat for the Chief. The hats will be
used by pipemen and foremen. The
Chief is delighted and will wear his
with great appreciation of the liberal
ity of Mr.. Wehrli.

SCHOOL NOTES.
MAP SHOWING OLD ROUTES.

MAI. SIIOW ING OLD ROU LES.
Learning that the United States
Government had issued a map that
would be useful means Of instruction
in the pnblic school, Prof. Lyon wrote
to the Department at Washington
asking if Cne could be obtained for
use" in the school here. He was in
formed that the maps had been appor-
toned to Senators and Representa-
tives and that none had been left over.
Refusing to be discouraged Prof. Lyon
then wrote to Senator McEnery and
explained his reason for desiring the
maps. Senator McEnery sent him two
of them. These maps will be useful in
tracing out the old routes used in mill
tary maneuvers and exploring eXpedi-
tions, such as ourMilitary Road and
others. The sixth and seventh grades
will have these maps, but they can be
borrowed and used in other grades.
Mr.. C. E. Beaucoudray has framed
the map to be used in the sixth grade,
having kindly donated the work, the
glass being furnished by the school.
