DIR. Pake makes speciality of lit

From reports from each section OF
this county we draw the conclusion
that there has never been so great
and general an effort made in the his
tory of the county for crop. Several
men have planted their corn the sec
ond and third time, and don't seem
to he a particle discouraged. This is
as it should be. This is neither the
time nor the place to skulk in the
background nor shade, but every man
wants to waltz to the front.

NEW STEEL BRIDGE
And the Proposition 10 Sell Railroad Stock
Questions Which Belfast Discusses.

Belfast, Aug 10 "A special meeting Of
the Belfast city council was held, Satur
day evening, to take some action relative
to the bridge question. There was full
attendance of members of both boards and
a large number of citizens
An order passed both boards unani
mously providing for a committee of five,
to be known as the bridge committee.
The committee was empowered to adyer-
tise for bids for first-ciaSs bridge, aud
to provide by contract or otherwise, foi
building of said bridge.
The following gentlemen compose the
committee: Mayor e. f. Hanson, Alder
men f. FL. WEIGH and Harvey Stinson,
and Councilmen Is. II. KnowltUn and
Frank Mayo.
The movement for "a new, first class,
modern steel bridge across Belfast harbor
may now be said to have been launched.
and unless the city council is hampered
by iniunctions and other opposition,
| will be pushed to completion.
Financiers have expressed the opinion
that the preferred and non preferred stock
| in the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad
could be sold at par. Belfast owns about
Sl36, 900 worth of the preferred, and about
1864, 900 worth of the preferred stock.
IL is the opinion Of many of our leading
citi zens that if this can be done, Belfast
ought to do it, and retire from the rail
road business. The entire Indebtedness
of Belfast is in the neIghborhood of s640,
900. With the sale of this stock realizing
$500, 600 and with old taxes due, the city :
indebtedness would not exceed 500, COO
This amount could be provided for, leav
ing the city in most excellent condition.
