lumber camps at Moosehead Lake this week
called at our office, and during his interest
ing conversation said that there had been a
great improvement in the moral and fnan-
cial condition of the lumbermen, especially
at the time of breaking camp and leaving the
woods. The gentleman had spent many
seasons about the camps, and was well IN
formed upon the subject He said that ne
had seen great many men lose all their
soon as they were paid off, or before they
had left the vicinity of the woods. This
wear, he said the men could get no intoxicat-
ing liquor either at Kineo or Greenville, ana
he did not see one intoxicated man between
the camps and Waterville.

Penobscot Indians Rise in Life.

bdIBOI
The Penobscot Indian is fast coming to the
front, but whether deteriorating or improv-
ing is question for our readers to decide.
The base ball cranks will say that he is on
the up grade. Joseph Newell, who has
twirled the sphere on the Indian nine, leaves
for New York in few days to demonstrate
his abilities there. The New York club will
sign him at fine salary If he shows up we'll,
and he will be given a good compensation
and his expenses while there. 1t would be
a little singular if the New Yorks would
have an Indian pitcher, who would be able
to fool the heavy hitters of the league
through real Indian tactics.
