Poland Springs. Oct. 13.-Next Thurs
day marks the close of very success
full season at Poland Springs. In spite
of the unusually disagreeable weather: dur
ing the latter part of September the pa
irons of the Poland Spring House were
legion. as compared with most other
summer hotels.
The Poland Spring library has grown
remarkably both in the number of its
volumes and in the favor of the guests
and everyone who has spent an hour or
a day in the Maine State Building has
gone away satisfied that it was time
pleasantly and prottably spent.
The golf links spIang into immediate
favor, and have been well patronized up
to the last moment. In fact almost eve
ryone. from the men approaching old
age down to little Edward Kicker, has
played golf.
Miss Kate Kurdish, of Brunswick. the
botanist who prepared the collection of
the wild plants of Poland on exhibition
in the Maine State Building, is making
her annual visit here.
The entire Poland Spring plant will
be re- painted this fall, and everything
put in readiness for the opening of
another season.

1t is surprising to many that football
players and other athletes regard a
sprain or bruise of so little consequence.
One reason of this is, they know how to
treat such injuries so as to recover from
them in few days, while others would

longer. Writing from Central State n or

VIII Help Things Amazingly-Big Blast
This Week.
Rockland, Oct. IS. The Courier Gazette
today says: 1.-THE granite business is
dull. very dull, duller in fact than it has
been for many years and the prospects,
are not very promising.
The causes for the dullness are varied
and extend over period of four years.
In 1892 occurred the big strike among
granite workers and tho business took
slump. The business grew worse from
year to year until its condition today is
something to be regretted. The granite
business is handled largely by govern
ment contractors and corporations. Many
appropriations have been made by the
different congresses during the past two
years, plans have been made, but owing
to the scarcity of funds but very few
contracts have been made. The same
is true of states and municipalities.
Again, the corp orations realizing the
uncertainty Of the financial questions
are making but small expendi lures
keeping very quiet until the financial
question is settled. Another reason Ia
that in many of the large cities paving
is giving way to asphalt.
These are the chief reasons why the
granite business is SO dull just at this
time, bat better times are hoped for.
With the hard times the price of paw
ing has greatly depreoiated. Two years
ago paving stones brought from $76 to
1856 Thousand but the price has dropped
to as low as $48 a Thousand. Naturally
wages have decreased, but not In the
same ratio. That this seriously affects
Knox County there is no question.
