DEERING.
MANY New Streets-A Troublesome Mis-
take.

OF the making of many streets there is
no end in Deering. and in some cases
because the streets have no end. There
has been much discussion about the ex-
tension of Sawyer street. 1t runs up
from Ocean street towards the Marsh
Brothers coal yard on the other side
of the Maine Central tracks. 1t is de-
sired to get across the tracks to Forest
Avenue, through small strip of land
close to Royal Leighton's house. The
Richardson land company, that owns
the land around Sawyer street, have
not decided whether to pay the damages
and 20 through there or allow their
street to end at the tracks, which is of
course very undesirable.
Another street, and a queer one, is
just being laid out. 1t runs at right an
giles to Sawyer street and along the track
opposite the station, then swings around
and goes down by the Grammar school
house into Ocean street. 1t is queer
street because it makes turn up round
through that section between Ocean
street and the Maine Central tracks,
and comes close to the station and the
electric railroad and Woodfords Corner,
but is however. far away. as far as the
passage of teams is concerned. From
the head of Ocean street a new street
is to be laid out down towards Back
Cove, through the old Sam Jersey hay
fields, down to the famous sgulches. y
Mr.. Sam Hersey, of Auburn has the mat
ter in charge. 1t is especially desired by
ha< straat oh he
tended through from Prospect to the
B1idgton road. 1t really seems to be a
necessary connection.
The new fire whistle will be placed on
the power station at Morrill's Corner,
next Sunday night That time is taken
because they can't do it in the day time,
when the cars are running, and Sunday
night there is more time.
A stout country woman got on the
electric car at Woodfords last night,
bound for Morrill's. She pumped down
by another woman, a stranger, and ex-
claimed, aWell, I've had ridel"
Where have you been?"
"I've been to Westbrook and back.
Thought it was an awful long ride to
couldn't find the stable where left my
horse. Got all mixed up. Asked where
I was, and found myself in Saccarappa.
Had to come back to Woodfords and ride
to Morrills and got to go IA miles far
ther in the dark all alone. Do you
s'pose it will be very dark? Might err
known better. Left nv horse at Nor
rills yer see. VIII my folks be worried?
Course they will. They're worried now.
The road is pretty dark to Gray to ride
all alone at night"
She was plump. good natured woman
but she did feel'so exaggerated and so
anxious that she had to talk about It,
The senior class of Westbrook Semina-
ry gave delightful concert at All Souls
church last evening. The performers

shire prima donna; Mr.. Louis Miller, the
lyric tenor; Miss Helen Hubbard, tai
ented reader, and Mr.. Wilbur M Cali a
brilliant pianist. There was large and
appreciative audience present, and the
performers fully realized the expecta-
lions of their audience.
