APPLES VERY CHEAP.
Some Farmers In This County Are Leav-
Them on the Ground.

The plentifulness of apples in the
country about Portland has resulted in
exceeding low prices. One farmer in
Baldwin has left two thousand bushels
of apples on the ground; and for the
eighteen hundred barrels which he has
put into his cellar he can get at present
only seventy-fvs cents barrel, with the
barrel thrown in. rs computes that
after the labor of gathering and market
ing Is deducted the apples will net him
fifteen cents barrel. Another Baldwin
farmer has 500 barrels in his cellar. Both
are able to store their apples and wait
for higher prices, which are expected to
come during the winter.
In North Yarmouth, where facilities
for storing apples are not SO good, the
farmers are getting but sixty-flv cents q
barrel. with the barrel thrown in.

THE RIGRY FAIR.

for Next Fair win Begin in January.

1t is understood that the accounts of
the New England Fair at Rigby last
August. have been closed up and show
net surplus of receipts over expenses OF
about four thousand dollars. The next
meeting of the fair will undoubtedly be
held here, as this is the only place where
1t has paid in recent years. This is one
of the few large fairs that has paid this
yenr. The state fair at Lewiston, as is
we'll known, met hard luck. and such
was the case with other large shows.
The managers of Rigby Park and the
Fair will meet some time in January to
plan for the races aud the fair of 1897.

and f1tted up as hose house and polling
place. The entire cost has been about
$1,000. The city teams are Kept here, and
are used in case Of fire.

After grace had been asked by Mr..
George Russell, banquet was partaken
OF.
Then Captain Stevens extended a
hearty greeting to the guests, and called
on Mayor Mitchell, who responded by
graduating the company on their
quarters and expressing the hope that
the other companies might have IS good
homes. He reminded them that tbev
were the guardians of vhe peace and
security of the hou, eholders. He Thought
the fire alarm system should be perfected
SO as to give more thorough alarm. He
also expressed the hope that before lon0
light running steamer might be pro-
cured.
Ex-Mayor Merrill endorsed wbat the
mayor had said about steamer. The
hyGrant pressure was all right when II
worked we'll but it was liable to fail
when needed. 1t was not good idea tn
wait for destructive fire to show tho
need of steamer. In conclusion Mr.
Merrill expressed satisfaction at the ex-
cellent results Of the city form Of govern
ment
Ex-Mayor Sawyer congratulated the de.
partment upon the new quarters. and
especially upon the enterprise shown nv
Hose 8, in getting to tie fire of last Sat-
urday. If the aldermen would be az an
terprising in getting apparatus all would
be we'll.
Alderman Davis called attention to tho
great strides made by the departments IN
the last two years. Then there was NJ
alarm system, and few appliances. There
are now 10 miles of fire alarm srst.n,
six hose houses, and next Saturday on

Ex-Alderman Hutchins recalled +bo+
he had belonged to the fire departments
for fifteen years. In the old iavs thara
was no organization, and little efIic;sron
as compared with the organized force of
