WINTHROP MOURNS
For the Money Invested in Condensed Milk
Factory Which Doesn't Condense.

Winthrop, Nov. 12.-(SpcciaD Last
spring, at a meeting of the stockholders
of the Maine Condensed Milk Co, held at
Town hall, for the purpose of seeing If the
stockholders could accept the inevitable
and subscribe for the increase of stock,
the promoters of this company gave the
people of this place to understand that i'll
the carly fall, just passed, the company
would undoubtedly start up at this place.
Whether efforts have been made to do
so we can only judge from reports and
actions of the parties interested.
Several reports have been going the
rounds that outside parties wanted to
take hold of the matter but the parties
themselves have failed to materialize.
Allegations have been made by different
stockholders as to the reason why the
plant has not been put in operation.
Whether these are true can only be sur
missed One reason assigned i that some
interested capitalists who hold stocks OF
other PARTIES, who We're unable to pay up
their assessment. and which is redeem
able next spring, think if it is not worth
ANYTHING the owners will not want 1t,
and it is the general opinion that they
will not. so they will get SO much more
stock for nothing.
Another opinion expressed is that Ger
tain other parties do not want it to be
put in operation for reasons which are
well known by those in a way to know.
Some of the stockholders have not even
received certificates for the amount of
money they have paid in. The people
have begun to lose confidence in the com
panv. and even the farmers are backward
i'm the matter, although there is no doubt
but what the majority of them would
furnish milk if the plant would only start
up.
1t seems to many the building was
erected as monument TO the memory OF
the hard earned money lost by those who
tried to have some business start here but
have tried in vain, and in return have
simply the worthless paper to show for the
money invested.

STATE COLLEGE.
Three Students While Out Hunting
Bag a Young Bear.
Honors Awaiting Members Of the Faculty at
Washington, This Week.

Orono, Nov. II. - (Special). = Last
Thursday afternoon, three of the students
Of the Maine State College started out on
hunting trip in the vicinity of Mud
pond, about five miles from Orono, in
search of game. After roaming about for
some little time without much success one
of the party happened TO step upon large
stump to look about and take in the situa-
ton when he suddenly broke through and
found himself in deep pit from which
he extricated himself with much difficult
ty. As he did so he looked up and saw
quadruped, perhaps a little larger than a
good sized Newfoundland dog making
tracks apparently away from the stump
from which he had been suddenly fright
ened A shot was fired which hit the ami
NAL in the left flank, the bullet pCnetra
ting the body and coming out on the right
side The party seeing that the first shot
was not fatal started in pursuit and
tracked him for about three miles when
owing to darkness they Were obliged to
abandon the race. Returning home and
getting Il good nights sleep. the trio
started out again the next morning in
search of their prize Coming across the
tracks of the previous day they found the
animal very nearly at the same place as
when the search was given up. a shot
was fired which broke one of his legs
but this did not drop him SO chase was
again given and after following him for
five miles when two well directed shots
ended his earthly career The carcass
which proved to be that of bear of about
two years, weighed $50 pounds and was
dressed and turned over to the steward
of the college boarding house. saturday,
it was served on the tables in the form of
broiled bear meat.

STRIKE THREATENED.
Auburn Shoemakers Not at All Con-
tented with Their Situation.
Cutters Discharge May Bring Another Fight
Between Employer and Employees.

Lewiston, Nov 12.- (Spccial.) - A
rumor Of more strife is abroad in Auburn
among the shoe makers. During the
summer the different manufacturers made
several reductions in wages in the vari
Gus departments in the shoe business,
so that now, those who came here to take
the places of union help, are receiving,
in many cases, 80 per cent less wages
than when they came Then, too, the
union members have gone back in large
numbers, and as IL result the different
shoe unions have been re-organized, in
Guiding a large number of the non union
men. The manufacturers have expected
that the unions would reorganize, but
have not looked for any trouble.
Last Saturday a prominent union man,
who has been working in one of the shops
was discharged. No reason was given,
and the union men believe that he was
discharged because he has been prominent
in the reorganization of the Cutters
Union. The busy season is approaching,
and although work has not been rushing
for year the manufacturers believe that
large orders will be forthcoming early in
December The union men are rcticent
and invariably tell the reporter to wait
and sec.
A strike in the near future will be a
serious thing to Auburn, as the manu-
facturers are not in condition to make
much of II fight and will undoubtedly
close the shops rather than make terms
with the men. The union men believe
that as the manufacturers struck them
during hard times, it is but fair that they
should rctaliate when they have the ad-
vantage That the unions will make a
mistake in striking at this time is quite
generally conceded, and the men VIII not
have public sympathy with them.
The Cutters Union will have a meet
ing. Tuesday evening, and developments
are looked for 1t is thought that new
price list will be submitted to the manu-
facturcrs, and the ball will open upon a
refusal to accedc.
