Navigation on the Kennebec.

The communication which appears in
the Journal this morning in relation to
the necessity of improving the channel OF
the Kennebec river presents facts Of great
importance to the business and commercial
interests of the people of the Kennebec
valley, and to outside vessel owners and
others engaged in the carrying trade to
and from the river.
This great natural channel of COM
merce, which affords business during
eight months in the year for a large fleet
of vessels sailing to and from our Atlantic
and Gulf ports. has become so filled by
the accumuations of years that it is with
considerable difficulty and much expense
even small vessels can be employed
on its waters between Augusta and Swan
Island.
1t is shown by Mr.. Randall in his com
munication that nearly S40,0 annually
is paid for freight between Gardiner and
Augusta, a great part of which might be
saved to shippers were there sufficient
channel such rs there might be if the
present one were properly
deepened and that without very large ex-
pense to the government. Navigation is
unsafe and only the smallest class
of vessels can come to Augusta
The commerce of this locality demands
improvement OF the channel. Exports
and imports have greatly increased within
few years, and will increase more rapid
ly as better facilities for freighting are at
torded. All interested in coasters and the
opened so that it NAV be safe and naviga-
BILE for good sized vessels as far as this
city.
The improvement desired is one wor
thy the earnest and immediate attention
of the government. Congress will not
have to be informed where the Kennebec
river is. 1t has been known as COM
mercial highway since the country was
first settled. Fleets have been built upon
its banks and launched upon its waters to
sail to all parts of the globe, and the fleet
which is now required annually for its
carrying trade would surprise those un-
accustomed to the business on this river
We trust the attention OF Congress will
speedily be directed to this important mat
ter and steps be taken as soon as possible
for the deepening and improving of the
Kennebec channel.

best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and etfectual cure of coughs, colds, and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
trely different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians. as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in a purely healthy condi-
tiou. bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,

serious illness. A trial will convince you of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug

Nearly Closed.

The year 1886 is fast drawing to its end.
Yet few days and it will be reckoned
with the past. One fact stands out prom
inently in its history,-that it has been a
year of peace. There have been rumors of
wars, but with the exception of the Bull
garian skirmishes the nations have allowed
the sword to remain in its scabbard and
the bulldogs of war have been silent.
The labor troubles of the year. while they
have not been of very sanguinary char
acter, have been serious and widespread.
Labor and capital have FLASHED and the
end is not yet, though the situation has
improved and brighter skies are appear
ing. No great pestilence has ragged in the
earth. General health has prevailed.

cost of freight. In the above totals lumber
| is reduced to tons.
| As has been before stated, the extra amount
paid for freight is calculated to be 20 per
cent above the rates below Gardiner bridge,
which on the above basis of calculation
would be $50 300 per year in excess of rates
that vessel owners are willing to carry those
commodities for. where the channel is of suf
hcient depth to safely navigate a larger ves-
sell
The foregoing tabulated statement embrace
ing that portion of the river between Augusta
and Gardiner, is given for the purpose of
showing the volume Of business carried on
ADORE the latter place, and the consequent
imperative need of having the channel deep
ened, not only betWeen Augusta and Gardi-
ner. but below Gardiner. to ensure safety and
convenience to the very large fleet of vessels
required to handle the immense amount of
| ice, lumber and other productions shipped
below Gardiner.
This large extra amount psid for transpor-
tries above Gardiner, and on every consumer
Of coal; and the entire cost Of deepening the
channel to the proper depth would not proba-
bly, very materially exceed the extra amouat
paid in one year.
The United States Arsenal, in this city,
very large and expensive property, and of
immense prospective value to this part of the
country, has ample depth of water at its
wharf and channel, but no Government vessel
can come within six miles, and this fact
should be of some weight in considering the
subject; unless it is designed by the govern
ment to allow the channel to remain as it is,
as an element of safety and protection to its
great military property.
am Informed by gentleman of large
means, and high in official life. that corpor-
alton, of which he is u prominent member,
would contract for large steamboat, to run
between the cities on the Kenuebec and Bos-
of 1888, if they could be assured that the
river would be deepened, and the stone piers
of the defunct Halowell bridge removed.
In view of the proposed railroad enterprises
| 10 this section of the State. direct steam
boat line to Boston would be of great COM
mercisl Importance to this city, and the large
farming and manufacturing interests between
this place and the Canadian frontier.
The river and hsrbor bill of late years is
mantle that covers, but does not hide, a null
titude of sins, in the form of log-rolling
schemes; the government is asked to, and
does, dig channels as far in advance of the
commercial necessity of the Improvement, as
the improvement itself is in advance of the
necessary amount of water to fill it.
Fortunately that is not the case with US !;
the Kenuebec river is a great highway Of
commerce, the business is already here, and
! is here TO stay; it is solid and enduring; and
it is hoped that all other government officials
whose duty requires it of them, will take as

the matter as has Jared A. Smith. Major of

AUGUSTA, Me- Dec. 20, 1886


| To the Editor of the Kenne5ee Journal:
The importance Of having the channel OF
the Kennebec river deepened at various places
between Augusta and Swan Island, opposite
Richmond, to q uniform depth of fourteen
feet at high water 10 the summer season can
hardly be over-estimated.
The numerous large industries peculiar to
the Kennebec valley at and below the city OF
Augusta. rely almost exclusively on water
methods of shipment and transportation.
The growing scarcity of small and light
draft vessels suitable to take full cargo
above Gardiner has caused gradual advance
in the rates of freight on all merchandise
shipped by sailing vessels above that point;
a careful and conservative estimate puts the
advance at 20 per cent over the rates paid
below Gardiner, on the average.
The great staples for outward shipments
are ice, lumber, and granite; of inward ship
ments coal, chalk, and plaster. The follow
ing table gives as near as can be estimated,
one year with another, the figures for one
year. and refers only to commerce above
Gardiner bridge, but does not include to and
from that city, for any Of the articles enum

The new Orleans County Buildings.

The court house, Jail and Jail house for
Orleans county, authorized by the LcGis-
lature of 1851, to he built at Newport have
been completed and accepted by the
Judges Of the County Court. The Barton
monitor describes them III part as fol-
lows: The court house is 80 by 80 feet and
two stories high. From the underpinnirg
to the top of the final is IS feet. The
building is made of brick, of which300, 900
were used in its construction. The under
pnning is broken-face granite with cut
wash, aud the window stools and caps are
of the same. Eighty-iive cords OF stone
We're used in the foundation. The
roof is of Queen Anne architec-
lecture, covered with black slate The
steps are hammered granite, and the arch
entrance Is a sixteen feet span. The court
and other rooms are all spacious and fit I'd
up with all the modern Improvements.
The JHll Is 81 feet square, Il story and
half high, with hip roof, slated, and walls
slated outside. The outside walls are
elght inches in THO kness, there being two
walls OF fou1-inch planks one laid on top of
the other and driven full of spikes and
nails with one-fourth inch boiler plate be
tween them. The first floor has two
thlcknesses of two by six plank set up
edgeWise and plated between. Inside the
otlCI Walls II IL COITllOT All around the
| cells, three feet wide, except in front
which IS six feet The gratings are one
inch round bars, iron on the outside and
| chilled steel on the inside. There are
eight small cells besides the two large
ones. BY bearing down on IA lever all the
cells, If the jailer so desires, are fastened
and opened at once frOm the corridors.
The Jail-house is 3lXi0 feet and has Il dim
ing-room, sitting room, parlOr, kitchen,
bedroom and hail on first floor, and plenty
OF room up stairs, including room with
grated windows and heavy door for female
offenders.
The amount of money appropriated for
the buildings was $1,000 and the town of
Newport raised 5000 The court house
was built tor $1,000. The Jail house and
jail, foundation and work cost $1,000 and
the Judges furnished the material for the
JAIL outside of that, which was estimated
to be, including iron doors for vaults, not
lar from $1,000. The amount that the
county will realize from rent of Jail house
and offices in the court house will be about
$500 annually
