the best valve and to use them on all
the new parts of the system and not
only stop the waste and leaks, but
to have the highest efficiency possible
at all times, especially at time of a
fire.
A valve that opens up and admits
full stream of water thru It with
out breaking the pressure adds to the
efficiency of the whole system. A
hydrant that has short turn In 1t
or something that kills the water
pressure, kills the efficiency Of the
system. There was one hydrant un-
der consideration that was not only
free from obstruction, but the turns

deflector to turn the water in q
solid stream without mixing air with
1t or making it foamy so 1t would
pass out thru the hose with solid
pressure and no bubbles. When they
are fighting a fire every item Of ef-
ficiency in the hydrant increases the
efficiency of the whole system FOR the
moment. In the final analysis and
comparison of the best hydrants,
they found there was only $500 more
expense to get the best one they had
exhibited.
At the starting of the work on the
city water system 1t would take car
load of hydrants and a car load OF
valves and then later on ii would
require some more, but they could
not say just how many It would re-
quire until they dug up and examined
the old hydrants to see just how
many of them were in perfect condi-
ton or how many would need to he
discarded. At the finish there might
not be q full car load; they would
have to pay an additional freight
rate and thereby suffer some loss.
They considered the matter Of where
they could buy hydrants and where
they could buy valves to get them
from the same warehouse and there
by gain the advantages of having
them shipped together and guarding
against the danger of having q part
of car load come thru at loss on
freight.
The council was trying to place
some of the contracts with local
Blackfoot men and in each case
where they considered that there was
the difficulty of computing all the
losses or expenses that might enter
vene between the different con-
tractors. For instance, if they let
it to one firm that proposed doing
the whole thing and their bid con-
templated the expense of unloading
the materials and then hauling them
when needed to the particular places
to where the different pieces would
be needed, or of splitting it up among
two or three contractors and leaving
the city to receive the goods, to pay
for unloading them, hauling to the
place of storage. and then moving
them from there to the place where
they were to be used and at the par

conviction among the council men
that the bond buyers, while they
might be making the best bids they
were justified in making at the pres
emit, might be justified in making bet

The council had the different makes
of hydrants before them for study.
There were / miniature hydrants
showing all the works within them
and as they looked them over and
considered the advantages of having
the best or putting up with the losses
and disadvantages and having some
thing q little cheaper, they discarded
the cheaper one and adopted the
best.
Hydrants Get Broken
Sometimes a fire hydrant gets
broken off; vehicle runs against
it and breaks it and the water starts
to flow. The water has to cut OF
with valve some where and If the
valve is several blocks away, it Is
a great interruption of the service
and loss of water. This is especi-
ally disastrous If it happens while
a fire is in progress. A water sys-
tenn is valuable according to whether
it furnishes the complete and con-
tinuous service with high pressure
or not. A really complete water
system provides for cutoff valve by
the side of every hydrant so that II
it gets cracked or broken they can
cut off the water a couple of feet
from the hydrant, preserve the pres
sure, replace the broken hydrant
with a new one without interrupting
the service. The council is planning
carefully to have all these different
things that make a system complete
and satisfactory and to have every
piece and part lasting. The bids for
the different kinds Of hydrants varied
from $7,734 to $10,187. Nobody
would be competent to judge which
was the best bid until he had made a
study Of all of the mechanical parts
of the hydrants and the works in
side Of the hydrants. 1t is not
enough to have the works in good
working order when they are dry,
the really valuable works are those
that are br0nzed, that do not tarnish
nor rust with age. When they were
considering the two best kinds of
auxiliary valves, that is, the valves
located by the side of the hydrants,
they found there was a difference in
cost of about $500 for the number
OF valves needed in the system and
1t was up to them to study the valves
and determine which one was the
better aside from considerations of
the first cost. The valves of the diff
ferent kinds and sizes varied in
weight from $50 pounds to 500
pounds. The council seemed anxious
to adopt the very best hydrant and

REMAINS OF SITKA
 VESSEL IN MUSEUM

In one of the showcases of the Alaska historical museum there lies two pieces of routed wood, some iron, copper and wooden spikes all of which is part of the framework of the old Russian steamer the Politkofsky.
 The Politkofsky, originally stern wheeler wah built at Sitka in 1863. After the sale of Alaska, in 1867 it was sold to the Hutchinson-Kohl Co. of San Francisco and transferred to American registry. It was then en- ployed in the oastwise trade between California and Alaska with William Kohl as master. In 1897 it was lowed to St. Michaels where it was used as a lighter for five year.
 In 1903 the ship went on the beach in St. Michaels where the remains may be seen.

them that some where in town fire morning the muffled note of the fire bell proclaimed to the few that heard them that same where in town a fire had been reported. From the depot came the call. Fire in the basement threatened the building. The new snow which fell last night and the Chinook wind made the streets prac- tically impossible. The members of the fire department answered the call and by heroic effort succeeded in hauling the hose cart to the Hartman Bank corner. In the meantime the fire had been checked It was caused by an accidental upsetting of a lamp The burning oil ignited a few clothes which smoked more freely than they burned. Smiling Jerry doused the glim and the danger was removed. The condition of the streets proved conclusively that if the fire had been real it would have been impossible for the fire department to reach the scene of the fire in time to prevent serious damage.
