WATER ALlvEWiTH. TROUT.
A True Fish Story that SURPRISES all Pre-
vious Fiction,

Portland man, who recently returned
from one of Maine's fishing resorts tells
the following true story that quite puts
into the shade all mythical fish stories
that have yet been imposed upon the pub
lie
Two ladies came to this camp in the
wilderness together with their male com
panions. They were novices to say the
least. Soon after arrival the proprietor
of the camp proposed to take them fish
ing. They started down to the little
wharf where the boats were fastened. He
carried landing net in his hand.
sob do you catch the fish with that
net?' exclaimed one of the ladies.
Are there so many of them in the
water that you can scoop them up that
way?" said the other.
"Oh yes" replied their wicked host
"You can try it right under the wharf
before we start out in the boat.
When they reached the wharf, the floor
ing of which was close to the surface of
the water, he lifted trap door which
disclosed the dark water underneath
Now you swing the net around down
there back and forth and you'll bring it
up full of trout
One of the astonished ladies took the
net and did as directed. She could
scarcely believe her senses when she drew
1t forth almostTfull of beautiful live tout
Why the water is full Of them' She
exclaimed SIS it like that all over the
lake'?'
= Well no. was the sreply. 81 can't
say that it is. They're likely to be about
as thick under this wharf as anywhere. -
Whether the ladies ever discovered that
that trap door in the wharf was the cover
OF large wire Enclosure tunder water, in
which the trout were kept alive, we will
leave the reader to infer.

WESTBROOK.

At full meeting of the Westbrook
| Board of Trade held at their rooms last
vening the matter of giving encourage
ment by taking stock in manufacturing
enterprise that would like to locate here
was talked up. Mr.. George L. Warren of
Portland, who has large property interests
| in this city, was present and talked to the
board, and on motion of Mr. A L. Hawkes.
soliciting committee of seven was ap-
pointed by Chairman Cutter as follows
Mr.. G. B. Woodman, A. L. Hawkes.,
Frank E. Webb, G. L. Andrews George
T. Springer, W. K. Dana, and Lemuel
Lane. There was good degree of inter-
est shown and no doubt the amount nee
essary will be raised. The names of the
following gentlemen were proposed for
membership and they were voted and
unanimously elected: R. D. Woodman,
J. c. Hess, E. H. Phillips, Frank e.
Webb and G. L. Andrews. 1t was also
voted to instruct the secretary to see all
members and collect the annual dues
This looks as though the board was put
ting on new life, which it very much
needed to do, as it has been very quiet
for the past year.
The funeral of Mr.. Bert Chase, Oldest
son of Mr.. Albert Chase, took place from
the Congregational church Tuesday af-
ternoon. Mr. Bert Chase was native
of this place and lived here until he was
ten years old. At the time of his death
he was living in North Cambridge, Mass.
He had been in Colorado the past winter
for his health and came home about three
weeks ago seemingly much improved,
but was taken soon after his arrival with
pneumonia and died Saturday His age
was twenty three years.

BY RAIL UP THEJUNGFRAU.
THE FINAL GREAT FEAT or A.
PINE STEAM CLIMBING.

Mountain Railways That n ave Trnn srorrnea
SwitEerinnd tor the Tourist why the
JunEfrnu Rond Will Re Greatest OF All.
When the railway to the top Of the Jungfrau
h completed. and there seems now no reason to
doubt that II soon will be. the conquest Of the
mighty Alps by the insignificant tourist will DO
complete. True there will yet bo Mont Blanc,
lifting Its klngly head 1000 feet above the roof
OF the Jungfrnu railway station, but TO build a
railway to the top OF Mont Blanc would add
nothing but bare figures to mans achievement
and victory. Tho Junpfrau Is q vastly more
difficult mountain 10 climb than Mont Blanc,
and all that Is worth going high TO see can
better be seen from its summit than from the
top Of the mere monarch OF altitude, Mont Blanc.
The whole aspect of Switzerland has been ut
terly changed for the eye of the average tourist
during the past few years. and the greatest
changes have been effected within the past four
or five years. Until so recently his view OF the
magnificent mountain scenery was upward,
from the valleys toward the penks. Now the
weakest and most timid of his kind looks down
upon the valleys and thn amazing panorama Of
btllowing peaks and scrfied ridges from the tops
Of some of the most famous view points in the
Alps. Lofty mountain platforms that were ac-
oessible only to the hardest OF Alpine climbers,
