Bridgton.
Bridgton, January 1S.-It has been
found necessary to put steam engine
into what is locally known as the Gibbs
mill" in order to run all the machinery,
the water in Highland Lake being SO
low that the stream flowing from 1t is
very small indeed. This is the only one
of the mills which depends wholly for
it's supply of water upon Highland Lake,
as the large tributary brook from Sandy
Greek empties into the mill stream
above the other mills. There is, howev-
er, great need of rain in all quarters
herea bouts.
The recent soft spell of weather set
tied the snow somewhat and improved
the travelling greatly. 1t also made
hard crust, which furnished the chill
dren and older ones as well, with a fine
opportunity for skating and sliding.
