of last week the adjourned meeting was held at
the High school room, George Il. johnson. ESQ.
presiding. Mr.. Durham, from the committee re-
ported that by building an extension of twelve
feet to the building it would give room for four
additional rows OF seats, or twenty new ones,
which with the thirty five now in the house would
make total of ffty-tive seats, sufficient to com
fortahly seat ITO pupils. good foundation under
the whole building is necessary, which can be done
for SO The cost of the extension to the school
building was estimated at 1919 or 800. The com
mittee also examined the cellar of the High school
building which reported to be in a bad condi-
ton, There is visible drain to the cellar and
unless there is drain the cellar can never he kent
dry.
The committee said that at the opening of the
North Primary school the present term every seat
except six, contained three pupils. The seats are
intended for but two pupils.

The Hotel Enterprise.

The new hotel enterprise for Belfast looks very
bright. Last week Messrs. 4. A. IIoWes and Cal
vim Hcrvey canvassed for stool, and met with much
encouragement The books are now open and Mr..
Hervey says that what they have obtained with
what has been pledged amounts to about 100000
Mr.. Chase guarantees per cent. net for a term of
eight years and the stock must be paying invest
ment. A few years ago when the Masonic Temple
was erected at cost of nearly $4,000, there were
cent as an investment" Only last week Temple
stock sold at premium of :21 on 800
Belfast needs more hotel accommodations and
something better than now have or have ever
had. From want of first class hotel our city has
been avoided by desirable class of visitors, and
those obliged to come here have remained as short
Il time as possible. This will be remedcd if the
present enterprise succeeds. 1t will benefit the
place in more ways than one. We have been
assured that when Belfast provides suitable hotel
accommodations special passenger train will be
put on our road, thus supplying another long felt
want. Last season the State Grange wanted to
hold its annual meeting here but the committee re
ported adversely, saying the town lacked hotel
accommodations for a large crowd. Now that we
have made a beginning with excellent prospects
let the enterprise be pushed to success

Another Opinion,

Mayor Baker has received from Attorney

The Effect In Maine of Western Labor Troubles.

1t was announced a few weeks ago that pending
the acceptance Of some large New York contracts
the Mount Waldo Granite Company had held a
conference with their workmen at which an agree
ment satisfactory to both parties was reached. No
further difficulty was apprehended and it was
supposed a large force would find employment on
Mt Waldo this season. Now it appears that the
contracts are about to fall through not because of
any trouble here but from the labor difficulties in
New York, which have put stop to building.
This will necessitate reduction of the force now
engaged, and as the traders had laid in large
stocks of goods in anticipation of a brisk season,
will involve general loss

The Good Templars of Waldo County have
reason to be satisfied with the share of officers
secured at the recent session of the Grand Lodge
at Augusta Two of their members now hold the
leading positions in the order-M j. Dow, of
Brooks, as Grand Chief Templar and George f.
Bracket Grand secretary.
NJ j. Dow, of Brooks is member of F. f.
Shaw Lodge, of that town. He has been Good
Templar more than eighteen years. and during
that time has been member of the Grand Lodge
of Maine. About ten years ago Grand secretary
Bracket put him into the field for the purpose of
organizing new lodges and he displayed re
markable talent in that direction. As an organizer
he is not surpassed by any man in the order. SO
efficient was he in the jurisdiction of Maine he
attracted the attention of the Right Worthy Grand
Lodge of the World, which body sent him to New
Jersey ana subsequently to the British Provinces
where he succeeded in planting many new lodges
In the state of Delaware he reorganized the Grand
Lodge of the state Mr.. Dow has instituted 200
lodges, $50 of which are in Maine. He has held
the Office of Grand Treasurer and Grand Council
lor, winning his present position by merit alone.
While Mr.. Dow's headquarters will remain in

es While not brilliant speaker he has happy and
forcible manner in presenting the subject of tenn
perance which added To his great experience,

has been the recipient of many interesting articles
from his pen. We congratulate our contributor on
his elevation to the head of order which repre-
SCENTS 10000 of the best men and women i'll the
