Chimney Fire.
An alarm of fire Monday morning
at 11:40 was for a blaze in the home
of Mrs. Kate Perkins on Main street
on the east side of the railroad
tracks. Mem beta of the family ran
across to the home of I. H. Bingham
and gave the alarm. By telephone
the fire department was called out
und a general alarm given. Ben
Bingham, who happened to beat
home, took the garden hose and
went across to the rear of the Per
kins home. He was joined a mo
ment later by Frank McFarland.
Together they climbed to the roof
of the kitchen annex and had the
Haines under control before the fire
nieu arrived. The blaze was caused
by a defective due, the fault being
between the ceiliug and the roof.
Shingling was torn away by the
energetic young men on the roof,
whose timely arrival prevented a
possibly serious fire. The volunteer
department arrived promptly ami
made good time in laying a liue to
the scene. There is need of a hy
drant at the corner mentioned; for
the first cart hnd insufficient hose to
reach the dames hnd it been ueces
sary and had to wait for the com
pany, from across the river to get on
the ground, before a stream could
have beeu in action.

Young Man Advanced.
Edward Jacobson, who has been
for the pnst thirteen months in
charge of the freight and baggage
department at tbe local depot, has
been advauced to a position in the
Portland general freight depart
ment as clerk. Having proved his
ability in the railroad service this
young man has received due recog
nition and advancement. All pro
motion in railroad service is based
on merit and the men who climb to
head in railroad affairs are the ones
who are found industrious and
trustworthv. The advancement of
