Were hardly aware how dry 1t is until
digging some post holes yesterday; no
wonder forest aud city fires are raging
wherever an opportunity occurs. Our
sympathy goes out for unfortunate Ban
COR; and since the city Is built at the
junction Of the Penobscot and KenGus-
keag rivers, why we're there not better
facilities provided for extinguishing
fires? A reservoir of sufficient capacity
and supplied with plenty of hydrants,
would have saved millions of property
and number of lives.
Mote by editOr.-In some Of the
stories of the Bangor fire 1t was said
that hundreds Of streams" Of water
were being turned upon the cOnflsgra-
ton. Whether that statement is literal
ly true or not, there is no doubt that
there was plenty Of water, and as good q
system for fire fighting as in most cities
of the size. When conaagrstion gets a
start, under such conditions az existed
at the time of the Bangor fire, nothing
less than big river of water will stop
its career.)

Various fishermen have in the past had
bites from mysterious monster fish In
Bryant's Pond. Last Tuesday one Of
these "monsters" was caught by Harry
Crockett and Ben Billings. 1t proved to
be q salmon measuring 81 inches and
weighing II 1-2 pounds. On the Thurs.

futile, the stage man, landed a red spot
that weighed 4 IL pounds. There must
be many more like the above samples In
this pond, for it has been stocked every
season with trout and salmon for nearly
20 years. The smelts are now getting
thinned out, making it possible for this
to be pretty good fishing ground for the
next few years.

properly appreciation was published.
The Democrat, however, omitted GER
tain portion Of the Globe article which
professed to relate how Senator Frye

the rebuilding include relocation of
streets in the burned district, and the
creation of park out of a part of the

amended, establishing fire district
within which no wooden buildings may
be erected. Moreover, in that district
not only are wooden buildings prohib-
tied, but the buildings Of other material
must be constructed according to certain
rigid rules, which will make them about
as nearly "fireproof' as any that can be
found in the large cities.

only very slight fuctuation. is said to be
three or four feet below its usual level at
