SMILING FACES
Worn by Lumbermen and Others il
Maine for the Snow.
It deans Hundreds OF Thousands OF Dollars iCr
State This Year.

Bangor, Jan. 6-The lumbermcn
railroad men, bark dealers and many
others are wearing very expansive smiles
as the result Of the snowfall of SATURDAY.
which will be worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the state of Maine.
With the exception of two or three
inches of snow, which fell early in Deem
Der and remained on the ground about
two weeks. this is the first snow OF the
winter in this section. and although ii has
arrived late for the unbermen it will be
of much benefit to them, and will proba-
bly, save n number OF concerns from the
ruin which the absence of snow babe fair
to cause.
The bark haulcrs and lumbermen have
had no snow upon which to haul their
logs from the yards to tie driving waters.
and it is estimated that 100 000,0 900 or more
feet in northern Maine are yarded from
four to eight miles from the landings, and
the cords of hcmlocil bark waiting to be
hauled to the tanneries in northern Maine
will amount to much more.
The lack of snow has caused curtail-
ment of numbering operations in many
places. as the operators had cut all they
dared to with bare ground, or practically
that, staring them in the face, but now it
is expected that operations will be re
newed unless II thaw should come.
The employees also feel joyful at the
coming of snow. rs many concerns were
about ready to discharge large numbers
of men, having no use for them without
snow
The manufacturers of the lumber along
the river also look happy, for it looks now
as though the price of logs would not
reach the mammoth figure threatend few
days ago.
The concerns that have been cutting
spruce for the pulp mills and the numer-
Gus dealers in wood of different kinds feel
relieved, for now they can get the material
out of the woods.
While operations will not be curtaied
AS much as was expected two days ago,
yet the cut of timber in the Maine forests
this winter must be "a rather small one
compared with the immense scale upon
which it was intended to operate this
season.
The snowstorm and gale reached here
Saturday morning. The snow fell steadily
and was blown about by the strong wind
so furiously that the country roads are
badly drifted in places.

Chicago, Jan. 26.--There was a sensa

ter. Mass-Loss. $4,000.

Gloucester, Mass, Jan. 26-The Bass
Rock house on the south side of East
Gloucester and the furniture therein was
destroyed by fire, early this morning. 1t

owned by the estate of the late Henry
Souther of Boston. The building was sur
rounded by many fine cottages, all unoc-
cupied.
The fire originated in the kitchen,
being attributed to an incendiary, as the
building was unoccupied. Several nearby
buildings caught fire from the burning
embers carried by the wind The flremen
succeeded in saving them, with slight
loss
An annex to the hotel, containing
80 rooms, in the course of construction,
and the stock for this, was DESTROYED
The loss is estimated at 500 600. with AN

BOVinine

DR.. w. +. S. Preston, House
Physician of the "House of Rest
for Consumptives," of fremont,
N. Y, says, Il have never known
a case where the stomach has
rejected Bovinine. In cases of
collapse, SO common among con-
sumptives, we always use it."
Bovinine being easy to take, and
quick of assimilation and Won
dertul food product, at once
starts on its mission of creating
strength, flesh and blood. 1t
tones up the vital organs and by
thus invigorating them, enables
them to throw off disease and
gives TO the sufferer new lease
OF life where such a thing is
