PoI Wing up a single ton.
 lction of stock and increased
 IStion have placed the business
 a sound basis. There are still D6ut 190 furnaces idle in the entire country, with weekly capacity of over 100000 tons, but they are for the most part small plants, and some of them will never again go into opera tion.
 There is at present movement among iron men to request the rail- roads to give encouragement to the business of low freights on coal ores and the product of the furnaces. A conservative authority on the subject says that the present. prospects should not be an inducement for the erection of new plants, because they might again lead to over production and demoralization of the market. He believes rather that all the present furnaces should be operated to their fullest capacity, as business demands 1t, and that there should be a hearty cooperation to this end among furnace men generally.

Tested Jackson's Forb earance.

Three men from a rural town came to
the city, Thursday, for the purpose. as
they said, to have some fun. They had
it. They We're having it to a large ex-
tent when Officer Jackson dropped in
on them. Their fun was accompanied
by more or less noise that grated
harshly on the officers ears. and he en-
tered a protest. Well. they allowed
that they would do about as they pleas
ed, and the officer made a little allow
ance of his own. He started to gather
them in. They resisted and they gave
the officer a nice little time. After the
officer had been abused about all he
cared to stand. he let out on them with
natures weapons rather than to cut
them up with his club The arrest
caused little stir, but it was all over
in a few minutes, and the officers did
not care enough about the case to push
it to any extent. The men We're allow
ed to go in the morning. They will
probably have a little more respect for
jackson the next time they come to the
city for some fun.

He Agrees With the Journal.

Waterville Editor Kennebec Journal:
Please allow me space to make few
words of correction. Ever since the log
jam has been formed in the Hollings-
worth IL Whitney BOOM it has been
stated that the jam rested against the
piers of the Maine Central Railroad
bridge. / want to say that the Jam was
stopped by the II. & w. piers that were
built for that purpose, and that the
bridge piers had nothing to do with stop
ping the logs.
From One Who Built the Piers and Boom.
This is in perfect accord with the state
ments of the Journal relating to the
matter of the forming of the jam. River
men with half an eye could see that the
weight of the jam rested on the boom
piers and that those piers We're properly
placed for just such an emergency
Thursday, Master Driver Clark took off
the crew of the III. Il w. Co., the high
logs having been worked through, leav-
ing only the fiat or loose logs for the
company to deal with. The jam. which
was said by some to be the worst on the
river has been worked very easily and
is nowhere near as bad to handle as are
the several smaller jams at Fairfield.

mayor.

OF Interest to Colby Students.

The first college debate of the year at
Colby will occur near the end of the
Fail term. The question to be debated
is:
Resolved, That the United States
should Ratify the Treaty for Hawaiian
Annexation.
The contest is open to all members of
the Mems college. including the incom-
ing Freshman class. Contestants may
write on either side of the question.
The articles must not be more than
20OO words long. and will be due at the
end of the third week of the Fall term
The preliminary speaking will be held
in the Baptist church in the fourth
week of the term. Each man will be
restricted to five minutes and will
speak something argumentative or ora
totical, either original or selected.
The six contestants who rank high
est, both as writer's and speakers. will
be chosen to take part in the college
debate at the end of the term. out of
the six it is probable that three speak
ers will be chosen to represent Colby in
the intercollegiate debate later in the

No Change At Present.

The Journal has it on the best au-
thority. that there will be no change in
the post office during the present quarter.
Mr.. Dunn is in no great hurry and it is
much more convenient for all hands to
have the term of office close at the end
of the quarter so that reports and other
work may be made up and the new
man start anew in the affairs of the
office. This was the case when Mr..
Thayer took charge of the office and he
and Mr.. Dunn understand each other
perfectly in the matter. Of course, as
soon as Mr.. Dunn has filed his bond he
can take the Office al any time, but he
is disposed to allow Mr. Thayer to con-
tinue in the office until the end of the
present quarter.
