Granddaughter
Ex=Gov. HaineS
DroWnSSaturday

waterville, Me-, Sept. 4-(SpeciaD.-
Escaping from the sight of her parent
and falling from the wharf into shallow
water, Martha, the baby daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Joseph L. Clark and grand
daughter of Ex-Governor and Mrs. VIII
liam T. Haines. was drowned Saturday
afternoon at Great pond, where the fam
lily had just gone preparatory to remain
ing through the month Of September at
their cottage. The absence of the baby
was unnoticed until she had probably
been in the water several minutes and
when discovered the body was floating
face downward. Drs. Miner and Chase OF
Boston, who are stopping at the lake,
were quickly summoned. but after using
every available method were unable to
resuscitate the child. Ex-Governor
Haines, who was in this city, when noti-
fed hurried to the scene with a pulmo-
tor, but life was extinct.
Mrs Haines with her daughter, Mrs
Clark, and her three children had arrived
at their cottage that morning. Mrs.
Haines was busily engaged in unpacking
household effects that had just arrived
and with her were Martha and the eldest
daughter. Edith Martha, evidently
avoiding the attention Of the parent and
grandparent. left the cottage and reached
the water where she fell In. When her
absence was discovered a search was in
stituted in the vicinity Of the cottage No
trace Of the child could be found ano
help was summoned from a nearby cot
tage. 1t was then that the little form
was seen floating in the water not far
from the shore.
All members Of the family were greatly
affected by the tragedy and Immediately
returned to this city. Expressions Of
sympathy were general when the word
was received here shortly after dinner
The funeral will be held Tuesday after
noon at O'Clock from the home of ex-
Gov Haines on Silver street, the services
to be conducted by Rev. Frank L. Phalen
Of the Unitarian church.

MANY TROUT DIE IN
IRRIGATION bitches

Thorough tests of devices to prevent
fish from entering irrigation bitches are
to be made by Forest Service officers,
who say that thousands of the trout
placed in western streams by the Gov
eminent are killed through being car
ried into the bitches and washed out on
the fields. There are not less than 1900
irrigation projects on or near the Ma
tional Forests, and in many places the
loss of trout is very heavy. The amount
of water used in irrigation, 1t is said,
often determines the ACCESSIBILITY of ar
tifcially stocking the streams.
The Government annually plants
large quantities of fish fry in the
streams of the National Forests. Last
year over 100000 were planted in
Colorado and Wyoming alone. This was
done to render the Forests more at
tractive to the public by affording good
fishing. Where much of the water is
used for irrigation, unless the bitches
are screened, the trout enter and are
washed out on to the fields. While fish
are said to make good fertilizer. officials
think that trout are too expensive to be
used for that purpose.
Most of the states in the West have
laws requiring that the bitches be
screened, but these laws are seldom en-
forced. The farmers are said to dis
like the screens. because they collect
drift-wood and trash-which prevents
the free flow of the water. Very often,
too, 1t is stated, the farmers can sup
ply their families with a mess of fish
by collecting the trout which are found
in the fields.
number Of devices for screening
the bitches are in use. and while two
or three have been found to be fairly
effective most Of them are said to be
unsatisfactory. 1t is asserted that this
subject presents an excellent oppor-
tunity for inventors. since a successful
screen will be sure to be widely used.
Under present conditions officials are
slow to recommend that the trout be
placed in streams where they are apt
to be led off into the irrigation bitches.

A Serious Blaze
Causes DAMAGE
Sunday orning

Fire which is supposed to have orig
mated from defective chimney. caused
considerable damage in the Philbrck
block at the junction of Western avenue
and Elm street Sunday morning about
II o'clock, Owing to the high wind and
the construction of the large wooden
building, Assistant Chief Luke Ivers,
when he arrived on the scene. pulled in
a second alarm, calling out Hose 3 and
A. The sounding of a second alarm
brought out a large number Of people
The first notification Of trouble in the
block was when word was received at
the Central station that a chimney fire
was in progress but the hremcn in the
house had hardly time to get ready be-
fore the box alarm No. 43 began to
sound All apparatus from the Central
station responded on the first alarm.
The fire which started around the
chimney in the ell of the second and
third tenements, had rapidly worked its
way through the blind attic and through
the roof and from the amount of smoke
ensuing from the. upper portion OF the
building it looked to the officials of the
department that a bad fire was in prog
ress. Two lines of hose were kept on
the roof to prevent the burning embers
from travelling to other sections in the
high wind, while two other lines were
taken into the building The smoke
was so dense that it made hard fight
for the frement and considerable water
was necessary to drown out the blaze.
Probably the greatest damage was
done to the tenement occupied by Lud-
ger Ouuiron, Here the roof of the ell
was burned off and damage was done
to the upper part of the house Tene-
ment owned by Mrs Elizabeth Foster
and occupied by Mrs. H. w. Ludwig
and daughters was damaged chiefly by
water and smoke. Other residents OF
the block who suffered from water dam
age were Hugh A. Smith, John Shep-
herd, James A. Getchell, Mrs. P. F.
Morrow and family and Vernon Belyea
and family. The apartment of Z. B.
Alyward escaped serious damage, being
located at the extreme south end.
The estimated loss is about $4,000 and

Upon the top Of one Of New York 8
man made mountains there is the same
peaceful quiet as on any mountain top.
No sound from the street below comes
up this distance. Men on the sidewalks
are 1nflnitesimal dots, darling hither
and yon. Looking down upon them,
one Is inclined to reflect what puny
beings humans are and from this lofty
point of view almost forgets his SYM
patty for their personal interests.
Then comes the realization that this
mountain was built by these puny be-
tngs from materials dug out Of the
earth in a crude state, purified, shaped
and fastened together in a manner
that will make it stand practically for
all time, and then a feeling of rever-
ence for the human brain-that God
given boon which has made these
things possible.-National Geographic
