MOTORS FOR FIRE FIGHTS.
Horse Drawn Equipment Fast Going
into Discard

Horse-drawn fire department is fast
going into the discard, according to the
third annual census of fire apparatus
and hose equipment in the United
States and Canada as taken b. the
Fireman s Herald, of New York. This
year s enumeration includes the cities
of 1000 population and over. OF these
cities the ire chiefs of go have re.
sponded to requests for information.
The rapid elimination of the horse
Drawn apparatus from the service is
strikingly shown by a comparison be-
tween this year 8 census and that of
1914. In that year 315 cities were re-
presented with 1859 fire vehicles
pulled by horses. This year more than
twice that number of departments, in
GLIDING the original 315, are entered
J and yet the number of horse drawn
serve is less by more than 1000.
pieces of apparatus in service and re-
| The tabulation for this year shows
! that in these go cities there are 9,295
pieces of apparatus of all sorts in ser
vice and reserve. The total for horse
drawn equipment is $3.50, while there
are 1926 automobiles A heavy de-
duction must be made from the horse
drawn vehicles to provide for the large
number that are nominally held in re-
serve, but are in reality carried on fire
department books because it is not
easy to find purchasers at fair prices.
OF the horse drawn pieces steam fire
engines continue to be far ahead of all
others, numbering 1853, which total in
cludes considerable number that will
in all likelihood never again work at
a fire. Combination wagons and hose
carriers number 2,163; aerial and SER
vice trucks and water towers total 945,
and there are 1,003 other horse-drawn
pieces of all classes.
AS has been the case with the pre-
vious fluctuations, the combination
chemical and hose car again leads the
motor apparatus with total of 1,012.
What appeared to be hesitation in
: adopting the triple combination pump
chemical engine and hose car seems to
have disappeared, as there are $50 OF
these registered, as against 300 straight
automobile pumping engines. Ladder

RANGERS TO CARRY PHONES.
Will Be Part of Regular Equipment
the Coming Season.

a portable telephone, made of alu-
minum and weighing two-and-a-half
pounds, the invention of a forest OF
fieer, Il. b. Adams of Missoula, Mon
tana, will be part Of the regular equip
ment of patrolmen on the national
forests the coming season. This in
strument is regarded as great I'M
provement over the set fromerly used,
which weighed ten pounds.
1t is said that a field man equipped
with this telephone, few yards OF
! hight emergency wire, and a snort
piece of heavy wire to make the
ground connection can cut in anywhere
| along the more than 10000 miles of for
est service telephone lines and get IN
touch with the headquarters of a SUI
pervisor or district ranger. To talk,
one end of the emergency wire is
thrown over the telephone line, the
two ends are connected to the portable
instrument, and the instrument is con-
nected to the ground wire, the end OF
which must be thrown into the damp
earth or in water. Contact with the
line wire is made possible by removal
| Of the insulation from few inches of
the emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does not ring
the bell of the receiving telephone,
but instead causes a sereeching sound
from a small megaphone-shaped appar-
atus descriptively known as a howl
err This instrument is installed al
the ranger station telephone and is
said to give effective notice that some
one is on the wire. If the field man
needs to talk with some one elsewhere
on the line, the ranger station instru
ment can be used to ring up the per
son wanted, when the conversation ear
be carried on.
Forest officers say that these portabl,
phones are especially valuable in re
porting fires and other emergencie
with the least possible delay, and ais
in sending instruction to field men an,
, keeping the district rangers informe,
| as to the progress of work going on il
the field, thus supplementing the regu
lar telephone sets installed at lookou
/ points, ranger stations, and at conver
lent intervals along forest servic
roads and trails.

with the probable candidates for the
office Of auditor of accounts, makes
the somewhat startling announcement
that Benjamin Gates, who has an
nouneed his candidacy, is a son of
Governor Gates. The relations be-

are very close, but not quite as close
as that.
