East Orland Hatchery.

The mted States hatchery at East Or
land Will prove double blessing to the
salmon fishermen this year. 1t has been
the usual custom for this institution to
buy the fish from which they strip the
eggs at he last part of the season. This
year there will be two periods of supply,
the first to commence at once and the
other later as usual.
The salmon are kept alive by the fish
ermen and delivered to specially char
tered steamer which tows suitably pre-
pared cars from Weir to wier on the
Verona and Prospect shores, thence up
the river to Orland, where temporary ar
engagements are made for taking the eggs
Last season the warm water of the lock
proved fatal to many of the fish, but it is
expected that at this time there will be no
trouble in that direction. The fishermen
are paid Bangor market price for t he sal
mon, and also receive bonus Of so cents
each for keeping them alive and deliver
ing them to the towing steamer.

The afternoon session opened with a
devotional service. This was followed by
discussion of "Juvenile Work" The
point on which the principal stress
seemed to be laid was on he necessity OF
creating and maintaining personal in
terest between the teacher and pupil.
Regularity in attendance Is another es-
sent ial feature.
Rev. II. L. Foss gave a long talk on the

He said the Sunday school should be re-

not a place for passing pleasant time.
He thought that consecutive study was
essential and fundamental doctrine
should be taught.
The question box, conducted by Rev. II.

suited in much interesting discussion.
