SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The storehouse of the Valvotine Oil
Co, at Gorham was burned Thursday
night. The agent, Arthur Rosevalley,
opened the door at the request of a
man with an automobile who wanted
some oil. and the two went III to-
gether. The lamp, it is believed, over
turned and in an instant the building
was in flames. The automobilist got
fearfully burned about the head,
hands and arms. He was taken out
by Il. Perly Hanson at the risk of his
life. 1t took only a few moments for
the building to go. but the two tanks.

made a blaze seen for miles around.
The buildings in the immediate viei-
nifty were in danger, but were saved
by the good work of the firemen.
It's a cleaning up job and before
It's completed will have cost thirty
thousand dollars and more! In Au-
burn, the work is now practically COM

ly all of the old outside equipment
in the way of wires will be down.
Nearly all of this wire has been in
place for more than 20 years and is
regarded as worthless for telephone
purposes at this time. With the re-
moval of this old wire and the sub
stitution of aerial cables change has
been made in methods of running
wires to the building of subscribers.
The old way was to connect at the
cable box and string the wire in di-
rect line to the building.
