EXETER'S SYSTEM FOR FIRE
PROTECTION IS AMONG
THE HEST,
The new automatic electric pump-
ing outfit in connection with the
Exeter Waterworks system was turn-
ed on on Monady afternoon about 5
o'clock. Members of the Exeter Coun-
cil, the Utilities Commission, Fire
Chief Weeks and several citizens
were present for the demonstration.
The pump, with a capacity of 225.
imperial agilons per minute is con -
netted to a 20 h.p, electric motor
operating at 16 h.p, The motor is
automatically controlled and is set
to come on at certain hours of the
day when the water pressure in the
tank drops to 45 pounds: When the
water pressure'\ reaches 57 pounds
the motor is automatically closed off.
This insures a continuous water sup-
ply for fire fighting and commercial
use. The: new equipment has been in-
stalled at a cost of about three thou-
sand dollars to the town. A, large
saving will be made in the present
cost of pumping water as with. ti:e
gasoline engine it cost about 8.00
a day for gasoline while. pumping.
In the matter` of fire protection Exe-
ter now has "a system that is not
surpassed anywhere.
Much credit is due the local, com-
mission who have devoted a great
deal of time in the matter. The work
of installing, especially' the electrical
part, has been supervised by Mr.. H.
W. Doerr, hydro supt. of town, and
the work has been done by town em-
ployees at a considerable saving to
the local treasury.

"An action settled our of court be-

a store at Kirkton resulted in Glad -
man and Stanbury issuing a writ for
John C. Moore of the above village
against Newton and Myrtle Gun-
ning of Granton. The action which
was a non' -jury one, was for deliv-
ery of merchandise of $1,000, and
$1,000 damages : because of .breach
of contract when' the goods to be in-
cluded in the sale to plaintiff were
disposed of by defendants to a rival
merchant. Defendants admitted dis-
posing of goods as charged, but
claimed that this was no breach of
contract, and were willing to pay
$100 in settlement.

BARN RAISED WITHOUT
A SINGLE HITCH.
Mr. Wni. Hunter, of Eden, had a
successful barn raising on Thursday
of last week. The first stick of tim-
ber' was ,: . _ 3 at nine o'c1cci:
in the morning and at five o'clock
the raising was completed. The size
of the barn is 40x80 feet and it is
considered one of the best frames
that ever went -up in the township of
Usbornes. The whole framework went
together without `i single error in
the framing and not an axe or chis-
el was used to make any alteration.
The framing was done by Mr. John
Doig, of Kippen, who is 77 years old.
Mr. Doig, who had every reason to
be proud ofthe work, said that in
all his experience he had never seen
a frame go up in so short a time.
There were about 150 men at the
raising and Mr. Jas. Brintnell as-
sisted Mr. Doig in 'handling the men.
BARNS BURNED, •
Mr, James Mitchell, just west ot!
Centralia, had three fine barns to'

The barns were filled with the sea

seed -clover. The threshed grain was.
in the granary and will be of little:
use. The estimated loss is about ten
thousand dollars. There was Insure:
