Wednesday was pay day at the mill
of the Penobscot Chemical Fibre Com
pany. at Great Works. At the usual
hour the employees filed into the Office
where quite a surprise awaited them.
IL seems that since the last pay day
the directors of the company had de-
cided upon making cut down from
to 10 per cent in wages paid the men.
AS no notices of cut down were post
ed in the mil! the men knew nothing
about it and there was considerable
disappointment. Ii is supposed that
the cause of the reduction is on ac-
count of the dizziness of the pulp mar
ket, which is constantly being sup
piled by the product OF new mills thus
making more competition. The reduc-
ton made will mean quite a saving to
the company.

In October last +. NJ. Thomas boat
builder of ADdover. in company with an
other Andover man whose name We failed
To learn. We're coming up the Megalloway
river and when about half way from the
mouth of the river 20 the settlement or
about seven miles from civilization. they
noticed an old tub of boat under the
bushes. This aroused their curiosity and
they started in to investigate. After hunt
ing Il little time they came upon a young
man about % years old near his camp
He had lived there all summer in a small
open camp. AT the time he was dis
covered he had winter camp nearly
completed. This was about 6xS feet
square with fiat roof. He had "a chance
for Il lire in the center and Il small hole
in the roof for the smoke to escape. As
there was no chimney. the draft was u.s.
ually very poor. The man had an old
Stevens rifle and n few small traps. He
lived mostly on the flesh of such game as
he could shoot and trap. His appearance
was shy. He would not give his name or
tell whether he had shota deer or not. His
hair and beard was long and 'unkempt
His face and hands blackened with ex-
posture and begrimmed with dirt. He
showed them pond where they could get
good duck shooting and seemed to he
greatly relieved when his visitors left.
