Maine Cheese Factnries.

The Lewiston Journal gives the following
figures of the cheese production of the state, as
furnished by j. W. Lang, E-q, of Brooks, in
an article to the Dairymen's Association, which
held meeting at Newport the 18th 18th insts. /:
There have been in operation the past year
nearly sixty cheese factories ir this state Re-
turns have been received from between forty
and fifty factories. 1t has been wear Of
peculiar hardship for many of the factories
The reaction of hard times has dampened the
enthusiasm with which the business was first
entered upon Every thing the farmers now
produce is slow to sell and low in price. Cheese
and butter sell more readily than hay. beef or
prices, so that the dairyman is better off than
other farmers. Dairymen must expect fiuctu.
ations in the market and other discourage
ments, and must learn to ecOnOmize in dull
times. New factories are completed at Rich
mond, Dennysville, Pembroke, Sherman. Ab-
bott and ether places, which will probably be
ready to begin operations the coming season.
The number of pounds of milk required at
the different factories to make one pound of
cheese varies from nine to ten and one-fourth,
The number of cows ranges from fifty-fiye to
three hundred and fifty at Kenduskeag The
average is about one hundred and thirty to each
factory. Kenduskeag makes the greatest
amount of cheese, the whole product being
sx.y-six thousand four hundred and eighty. or
over thirty-three tons. Newport makes the
least, eight thousand nine hundred and ninety
five pounds: The price received ranges from
twelve to fifteen cents per pound. The average
price is about thirteen cents.
The following is statement showing the
number of COWS, pounds of cheese made.

Maine Business Notes.

The Brooks Dairy Company have decided to
run their cheese factory only through the
months of July and August the coming season.
1t is stated that enough stock of the Maine
Central has changed hands since the last
annual meeting to bring the control of the road
into the hands of Maine parties again.
The probabilities are that the Belfast shoe
factory will soon suspend operations for time.
In Auburn the shipments of shoes during the
past week have been 1,644 cases, and the re
ceipts of leather 91,673 pounds. During the
previous week the shipments were 1879 cases
and the receipts of leather 1881 lbs. The
manufacturers are not receiving large orders
but sufficient to keep them busily employed.
Notwithstanding the hard times, Messrs
Severy, Philbrick s. Co. are very busy days and
part of the night time manufacturing spool
squares, shingles and lumber. Capt. Walker
has as much custom grinding in his grist mill
as he can we'll attend to. Alvin Butler is
crowded with work to the full capacity of his
saw mill, and John Walton is as busy in the
same line as any of the rest.

POLICE NoTEs.-Charcoal business was good
yesterday. Two drivers of charcoal carts sold
out their loads early and went on spree. OFF,
Ger Grbben found one of them late in the after
noon drunk on Fore street. His companion
was taken out of drinking den on the same
street last evening by officers Rice and Covell.
Both of the teams were taken care of by the
police and this morning they will return to
WATERFORD.
Two brothers named Mcclure, living on Cot
ton street, had quarrel last evening and off
GERS Hanson, jackson and Hicks were called in
to quell the disturbance Both of the men
were arrested.
From conversation with officer Rice it seems
that Alexander Scott, better known in police
circles ''Scotty,'' is running disgraceful den
on Fore street. This officer took several drunk
en- men from his place last night.
The police made eighteen arrests last night,
most of them for drunkenness.

of Belfast, that the annual session of the
Grand Lodge Of Maine will be held at Bath,

has been good progress in the Order in the

bership of about $4,000. Some % or more new
Lodges have been instituted, and great gains

percentage of gain. Belfast Lodge No. 80 of
Belfast. during the same time added 479,
starting with 233, making total of 712, which
is the largest gain in members, and makes it
the largest, and thus the Banner Lodge not

ably the United States

USEFUL INvENTIoN.-Messrs. Pierce &
Dunn have made application for an invention
which they call the Temporary Paper File
and Binder" which will undoubtedly prove
the best thing of the kind in the market. 1t
consists of a cover, in the binding of which are
steel springs to which are attached strip
of metal the length of the cover. The
springs are SO stiff that papers are held in the
file when shut with such tenacity that they
cannot be removed until the covers are opened
and then the contents or any part of it can
be removed. When shut everything is held
with such grasp that it can only be torn
out. The inventors are preparing to manufac-
ture the article to fill the market which is re-
ceiving the most fiattering Concentrations
The files are made in three regular sizes, bu-
will be made large enough to hold newspapers.
The article will soon be put into our own mar.

a NEwspApER Correspondent speaking 0

A NEWSPAPER correspondent speaking of
hotels makes the following sensible remarks:-
while traveller can get good accommoda-
tions at many hotels in great city, there is al
ing wide reputation. This is one reason why
the Westminster of New York is such a great
favorte. We say one, for there are other rea-
sons. 1t is true that on account of so many
great celebrities making this house their home
while in Now York, the name of the West
minister is known far aud wide, but another
and more important reason is that everything
at the Westminster-rooms, suites, cuisine,
convenience of location, etc.-s unsurpassed,
while the rates of charges are no higher than
at other first class hotels. The traveller there
fore enjoys the advantage of stopping at cell
ebrated hotel for the same amount he wonld
have to pay at Others not so well known
