STATE HOUSE
Next meeting and Council Friday Aug. u, A.


The recent thunderstorms and
showers were quite general in the
sections where forest fires had beer
raging and while all OF the fires were
not extinguished, all were put under
control.
But. as though not satisfied with
the already enormous damage it has
done in Maine forests, the Fire Fiend
began CO.. operation with Mr.. Light
ming on Monday and started at least
two fires in the woods.
One was reported by Chief Warden
Guy Sedgley Of Stratton on Chain OF
Ponds, Township >, Range 6 and
another by the same warden on
Bigelow Plantation, both caused by
lightning They We're reported on
Tuesday TO be under control and
practically out. About dozen fires
caused by lightning has been reported
so far this year.
The Waterman on Lead Mountain
reported Tuesday afternoon three
fires on Summit Plantation, dis
covered by him from his lookout
station and each appearing TO be
large in extent. No particulars were
received and the cause is unknown.
Chief Warden G. c. Murphy of
Raneeley telephoned the department
on Tuesday that the fire that broke
out Monday in the dowel mill of c.
F. Cummings e Sons at Remis and
destroyed that property, with a loss.
of about 100000, had reached into
the hardwood growth nearby and
had burned over between % and 30
acres of valuable land. A crew of
about SO men had been at work at
the fire and had succeeded in get
ting it under control. so that further
spread was not expected.

IKE a rather peculiar case, being the
seizure of three horses, in the custody
of the Maine Forestry District and on
their way at top speed to help fight a
bad forest fire, near the border
The Maine Forestry District need
ing help in the emergency ARA nged
with the st. John Lumber Co. to hire
three horses and they We're on their
way to the scene of the fire in charge
OF warden of the Maine district
Arriving AZ the border, a great dis
tdnce could be saved and in fact it
was the regular route to pass for a
distance of about half a mile over
Canadian soil.
Deputy CommisSio ner had wired
the Canadian service what was being
done, that the horses were hired and
in charge of the Maine officials, with
q Forestry District warden taking
them TO the fire This was supposed
10 be sufficient, in the emergency,
although the Maine Official Was will
ing to do Whatever the Canadians
said in regard to observing the Gus
toms regulations and asked for in
structions as to what to do.
The warden with the horses reach
ed Estcourt, r. @. on entering
upon Canadian soil, and a Canadian
customs officer very promptly halt
ed warden and horses, scizing the
latter, on the claim that the St. John
Lumber Co. was importing them into
Canada. They We're later advertised
for sale by the Canadians.
The first the Maine Forestry Dis
tiict knew of any trouble was
through an outside source. when the
auction sale Of the horses was an
nounced com m issioner Dana
then thought it best to deal with
headquarters. and, that idea being
reinforced with the opinion of Attor-
neN General f. w. Shaw. he accord
insly left for ottawa. The outcome

1t is thought hy our officials that a
Notwithstanding must have taken
rlace somewhere in tho proceedings
for the Canadian authorities have
hitherto been most friendly especial

border.

New Dust Laying Material
Being Applied to HIGHWAYS

travellers over few sections Of
highways in Maine have recently
noticed new material applied an
parently for laying and controlling the
dust chief Engineer Paul d Sar-
gent OF the Highway Commission was
asked concerning this material and
said:
The state Highway Commission
during the first two weeks in .Jnlv
treated with calcium chloride the
gravel road between Benton and
Bangor, about IS miles. also tho State
highway between Edeecomh and
ThomaSt"n. a distance of some 20
mics. These two roads. which are
nrst-rlass gravel State highways.
h"th carry an extremely heavy ira ffic
during the summer and in dry wealth
er during the past two seasons have
been very dusty. so much so that
driving upon them has been more or
less disagreeahle and with the in
creasins traffic had begun to he al
most dangerous. on account of cars
attempting to pass each other in the
dust. Besides the unpleasant and
dangerous features there is further
TACT that about two inches of the sur
face was picked up and blown off of
the road each summer.
The applica ton of calcium chic
ride, which is a deliquescent salt and
has the property of absorbing mois-
ture from the atmosphere. has kept
the surfaces of these two highways
in moist condition. keeping down
all dust and making the driving over
these roads pleasure as we'll as per-
fectly safe.
~ great many inquiries have come
to the State Highway Department
Stree these roads We're treated, ask
ing for the name of the preparation

known as calcium chloride. It is a
white granular substance and can be
spread by anyone on drivewaNs.
paths or highways. The State High
way Commission applies this material
through lime spreaders attached TO
trucks, thereby securing a practically
uniform application OF two pounds
per square yard of surface.
1T is expected that these treat
ments will keep the roads moist at
least until the middle of September
and possibly until later date This
depends somewhat upon the atmos
pheric conditions and the amount Of
moisture in the air"
