Wednesday, January 17, 1900. THE SUMPTER MINER. FOR FIRE PROTECTION Water System Tested and Fire Department Organized. While the Sumpter waterworks plant has been practically complete and ready to serve the public for the past ten days, there were some minor defects to be reme died, and last Friday the first test of the system was made. A hose was attached to the hydrant on the principal corner of the city, opposite Till- MINKR office, and with a i',i inch nozzle a stream was thrown a distance of 130 feet down Mill street and a perpendicular height of 60 feet. Afterward, with a one-Inch nozzle, a stream was thrown 160 feet and a height of 75 to 80 feet. At the location mentioned the greatest pressure, however, is not obtained, and at a more thorough test Sunday afternoon, from the hydrant on the railway depot corner, the result with the ii Inch nozzle was 160 feet and 75 to 80 feet in height; with the one Inch nozzle, the distance reached was 200 feet, and loo feet in height. To make a yet more thorough test, Chief Thornton ordered Siamese Connec tion on the hydrant, whereby two streams were taken from same. The result demon strated the capability of throwing two one-inch streams 50 feet in height, which would throw A'ater over any building likely to be built in Sumpter for some time to come. When the alarm was sounded Sunday afternoon It brought out the majority of the cllieus of (lie town, among whom were the mayor, councllmen, W. I.. Vin son, to whom till can tender thanks for such a water svstem, and many strangers from larger cities, all of whom expressed thtir satisfaction and congratulations. The chief and other otticials of the fire department were unanimous In stating that the water supply and pressure are sufficient for lighting any lire that may occur. Together with the apparatus which arrived Friday last, consisting of two first class Watcrous hose reels, with 1 $00 feet of the bet cotton hose In the market and a sufficient number of nozzles to make the department efficient; the do gallon chemical engine already In com mision, It is possible to tight lire effec tively. The hose houses, one of which Is lo cated on the hill near the school building, the other at the city hall, will he com pleted at once. The city council is ne gotiating now with the Portland Fire de partment for the purchase of one of its village trucks, which will be a valuable addition.
