$1,000 Damage in
TicOnic Street Blaze

Quick response to the alarm and
efficient work by the Waterville fire
department saved the house and sew
eral outbuildings on Main street,
owned by Harry Gitlin of Ticonic
street, when the barn attached to the
buildings went up in flames. The
damage was estimated at about ST.
eco.
The fire broke out about 5.45 last
night. The first alarm was tele-
phone call from Sidney Green who
lives in the next house beyond. and
121 was pulled in from the Central
fire station to call out the chemical
truck but this was so closely follow
ed by box 312 at the corner of High
and Main streets that the signals
of the fire whistle were almost min
gled
When the department arrived the
barn which was full of hay was in
mass of flames and efforts were
mainly directed toward saving the
remaining buildings. The flames
crowd gathered but remembering the
recent ducking that Chief Berry ad-
ministered at the fire in back of the
Waterville Motor Co.. garage, prac-
tically every one kept at a respectful
distance. In about half an hour
nothing was left but the framework
Of the barn and this was pulled down
by the firemen. The back of an
other barn adjoining was damaged
by both fire and water but can easily
be repaired.
The house Is occupied down stairs
by the families of III. Adams and A.
Adams, brothers. while Henry Cur
ney and his family live upstairs.
The occupants of the house with
the aid of spectators moved much
of their furniture and other belong
ings to the street but soon after the
firemen arrived it was evident that
the house would be saved.
The barn was 80 by 40 feet and
about 80 feet high. Over 10 ton of hay
was stored in the loft. A horse that
generally occupied a stall in the
barn was luckily in an adjoining
pasture. All out blew about 6.45.

Water Conditions on
!Kennebec Critical
,Despite 2 DAYS. Rain

After a two day rain storm the
weather cleared off much cooler yes
terday morning and few more beauti-
full days have been enjoyed this fall.
Although quite lot of rain fell ac-
cording to mill officials it did not af-
feet the Kennebec river to any ap-
preciable extent. The ground in this
vicinity was so dry that it readily
soaked up the rain and brooks and
cstreams benefited little.
According to mill operators
drought conditions in the kennebec
valley are the worst they have been
for several years. Below the Ticonic
dam in Winslow about a quarter of
a mile down, one could almost walk
across the kennebec and rocks and
sand are plainly visible in the mid
die of the river. One citizen said that
he had lived in Waterville practi-
cally all his life and had never seen
the water go any lower.
While there was not enough water
to help water power conditions, far
mers benefited by the rain for many
a cistern that was dry Wednesday,
is now partially filled with water. The
water soaking into the ground also
helped the wells and springs in
many cases.
Another benefit of the rain was to
lessen the danger of fires, for procti-
cally everything was finder dry. The
laying of dust is not so important
as it once was before most of the
State roads were surfaced with On
less material but at the same time
jewellers along the country roads ap-
preciate the rain for this reason.

Has Cow in Zoo

New York's zoo seems to be the
first one to get a COW for exhibition
among the strange animals" gather
ed from all quarters of the globe.
The cow was presented by the Dairy
mems league.
So, now, no longer will city child
rem entertain a vague idea that milk
as they know it originates somehow
in bottle or tin can. The Ameri-
can animal that generates milk will
be right before their eyes, and, no
doubt, at fixed times of day she will
be MIXED in the presence of large
and and deeply interested juvenile
audiences.
In ST. Louis it was found that
there were large numbers of children
that had never seen sheep, some
what smaller number that had never
beheld pig, and a very considera BILE
percentage to whom a COW was only
a picture.
A COW is of course, as appropriate
i'll a zoo as a bear. and ours. like
others, will be graced with one. Chill
