Governor Urges
Observance of Fire
Prevential Week

In a letter addressed to Commits
sioner of Insurance, G. Walden
Smith, Governor Baxter writes as
follows:
Dear Commi ssioner Smith:
Il am much interested in the ma
ton wide effort that is being made
to check the needless fire waste.
Every effort should be made to reduce
the number of fires. many of which
are caused by carclessness and neg
lect.
Il hope that all the citizens in
Maine will be interested in Fire Pre-
vention Week. October 2nd, to Octo-
Der 9th, inclusive.
IN our State during the five years
ending. 1920. our five waste reached
the total of s13,353,6 COS, a sum that
would build 2670 $4,000 homes or
many miles of good road. From this
it is apparent that we have been
paying our full share of the tax
levied by carelessness and ignorance
in handling fire hazards.
I'VE must arouse the public to the
dppdllillS SITUATION uISClOSGU ny tUeSS
figures. The evil can only be cor
rected by impressing upon each and
every citizen that he is under direct
responsibility to the community to
do everything possible to reduce this
excessive fire waste"
Cordially yours.

Governor of Maine.

Recalls Bad Fire
in City % Years Ago

1t was % years ago next Friday, or
to be exact, Sept. %, 1899, that a
very disastrous fire occurred on Main
street destroying the Carlton Build
ing. 1t was said to have been the
worst blaze in the city for years, and
among those to suffer losses were w.
=. Hooker & Co.. druggists; s. f.
Preble, photographer; and Mrs. C. C.
Carlton.
Deputy marshal George Simpson
while passing by the place at AIS
O'Clock. noticed that the windows in
the Hooker store looked smokey, and
an investigation revealed that the
store was full of smoke He immedi-
ately ran to the corner of Main and
Temple streets and rang in the alarm
which was responded to by Hose
Company ] and 2 and Hook and
Ladder 1. Six lines of hose were laid.
three from Main street and three
from Charles street in the rear. The
fire. which apparently started in the
middle room of the Hooker store, was
soon raging throughout the building.
The chief of the fire department at
that time was Appleton Plaisted and
he said that the fire was the hardest
to fight of any in the history Of the
department. The building was owned
by Mrs. c. G. Carlton and was prac-
tically total loss. Mrs. Carlton lost
$4,000, with insurance of $500.
w. c. Hooker & Co. had about
$1,000 worth of goods in their store
large part Of which they lost They
were insured for $1,000. The sever
est loss was that of Mr. Preble. Mr..
Preble succeeded G. G. Carlton in
1890. who followed in the business of
Simon Wing who established the first
photograph business of any account
in this city about 70 years ago. Mr..
Preble had been keeping the mega
tives made by these parties besides
those made by himself and he lost
nearly all of them. Hiss loss was
about $1,000 and he was insured for
$4,000. A brick building was erected
on the site Of the destroyed frame
building

Auto Thieves
Abandon Machine

An automobile in which one of
those employed in place Of the strik-
ing shopmen, a Massachusetts young
man has been riding lack and forth,
between his lodging and the Maine
Central Car Shops, was stolen Mon
day. The parties who purloined the
machine were somewhat bold in their
methods and when it became stalled
they asked the loan Of another ma
chine from an employee of the rail-
road. The second machine was not
used. however. as the machine which
was stolen got going again. but
evidently did not work well as it was
found later by the police in the vi
cinity of the Messalonskee stream.
Although the thieves talked with sew
eral persons their personality does
not seem to have impressed itself
on any. one sufficiently to give the
police distinctive description and
it seems probable Monday night that
their identity will pass as one of the
unsolved mysteries.

Bourque Post held last evening, the
sum Of 1855 was turned over to
the post by the Chamber Of Com
merce to pay for a bronze tablet

tirely voluntary, the result was most
pleasing to the Chamber of Com
merce and to the George n. Bourque

The check was accompanied by a
letter from the secretary of the

NJ. Wallace, who handled the pub
licity for the campaign. Mrs. Wal
lace also sent a neatly typed copy of
the names Of all who contributed,
encased in a folder, all ready for the
files of the post.
While the tablet is inscribed with
the name and record Of Sergeant
Arthur Castonguay, who was the
first Waterville soldier to be killed in
the war, it is to be erected in the
memory of all of Waterville's dead
who gave their lives in the service of
their country in the World war.
The tablet was obtained through
the kind services of E. l.. Russakoff,
who furnished it at the cost to him.
The money contributed exceeds by a
few dollars the cost Of the tablet and
the surplus will be turned over to a
committee consisting of DR.. Rudolph
Turcott, chairman, H. w. Drawn, and
w. H. Murray, to be used toward the
erection Of the tablet.

HEAVY FROST IN
CUMBERLAND co.

Portland, Sept. 1S-Crops in some
sections of Cumberland county were
damaged considerably by frost last
night, and the loss to the farmers
will probably amount TO many hun
dreds Of dollars
The town of Cumberland seems to
have suffered more than any other
community, so far as reports were
received today. and it was stated
that plantain leaves within % feet
of houses were frozen stiff, showing
what happened to the crops out in
the fields.
Cape Elizabeth reported light
frost but it was believed that COM
paratively little damage was done
there. There was heavy frost in
Scarboro. particularly on the low
lands and along the Gorham road, and
a resident Of North Windham said
this noon that the frost in that neigh
borhood was so heavy that board
piles were white with it, when the
early risers looked out of doors.
York county seems to have met
with great losses in crops as result
of the cold snap, and q man coming
from the town of Limington this
morning says that water in pail
SKINNED over up there among the
hills.
The mercury stood at only Al above
in Portland early today, according to
the United States Weather Bureau
officials, and they said that frosts
had occurred upstate, though these
were light. In Vermont, however,
the frost was very heavy.
Cold weather is predicted again to-
night, but it will be warmer tomor-
row.
