A Belfast Girls Business Ability.

Miss Lou 5. Hopkins of Lewiston, who
had charge of the fancy work exhibit of the
City Hail show last week, is a Belfast girl,
daughter ct Mrs. Mrs.: George Woods GODS! 4 Maine
was gifted with an unhounded good nature
and that is the first requisite for a depart
ment chief. When-and only when-a per-
son has the quintessence of the patience of
Job they are partially equipped for this
work. Add to that business ability suffici-
ent to run department store and country
newspaper successfully, SAVIOR it with a
smiling countenance and a disposition to
work thirty-six hours in twenty four, and
you begin to approach the standard of Miss
Hopkins. She is favorite with exhibitors
because of the care which she bestows on
the arrangement of each individual exhibit
to its best advantage, and with the manage
ment for her fathfulness in all matters.
Miss Hopkins had, this year, three young
lady assistants, and even then the full corps
was kept busy"

A Colorado Corn Roast.

Loveland, Colorado, was to hold its third
annual corn roast Sept. 9th, Labor Day, and
the affair has a certain local interest as this
was the idea of Belfast boy, F. W. Angler,
travelling passenger agent of the Union Pa
citic Railway, and the Loveland Reporter
''pushed it for all it was worth" OF the
celebration this year the Reporter says:
Everyone feels happy at the efforts of the
year; and Nature has so kind V aided every
thrifty farmer that he feels in high state.
There have been no destructive hailstorms
no droughts-no setbacks; the prices for
produce are very fair-and the yield like
wise. There will be many debts squared up
this fall-and a surplus of cash or produce
left for future business. Therefore, let US
be merry while the air is laden with the
mellow breezes of success and happiness ;
let us show the myriads who may visit us
that ours is grand and bountiful section of
Colorado.

To the Farmers
OF Waldo County.

The time is fast approaching when the hay crop
of 1897 will be put upon the market for sale. r =
ports from section Of the country show the
largest crop of hay raised in many years, especial
ly through the middle and western States in view
Of these facts it is essentially necessary in order
to secure the highest prices for product in the
various markets of the.country, thar the prepare
tion Of the crop shall equal that of any other por-
ton of the country. This result only be
obtained by using Dederieks upright or Ok
press. 1t seems at present though the larger
part of surplus hay must find market on the
cattle steamers, where space is an absolute neces
sity, and hay put up in the Old style lever presses
will not be used for this purpose when a better
pressed article be obtained, and even then
must be sold at a discount. 1t IS of vital import
ance especially in this year of low prices, that the
farmers cooperate with the dealers and pressers
in this matter and raise the standard of our hay.
Don't use the old lever presses but have the best
and obtain the highest prices, which can only lie
done by producing perfectly press ed bale of hay,
The Dederick presses in this section operat-
ed by Freeman Ellis 4 Son. So. Brooks; Charles
Barnes, Waldo; Edward Greer, Belmont, and E.

of the above parties or F G.. White, Belfast will

The Streets and Sewers.

The sewer extension on Church and
Grove streets has been completed and the
streets restored to their normal condi-
ton The extension began on Church
street at the corner of Pearl, extend
ed down Church to Grove and up Grove
to Congress. Manholes were put in at the
corners of Congress, Cedar, Court and
Church streets, and Y's at all the corners
and at every houselot for future connections.
Twenty residents along the line will be
connected this fall.
The new concrete sidewalks on Main
street between Church and High streets,
and on Church street from Chase's corner
to the Journal block, are completed. They
have substantial granite curling and the
cutters will be paved with square blocks il
place of the cobble stones formerly used.
The street is greatly improved both in ap-
pearance and for use. In laying the new
sidewalk the stone post which formerly
stood on the corner of Main and High
streets was removed, and has been utilized
as part of the wall of the culvert under
High street at the same point.
The appropriation for streets this year was
81 800 against So, 500 last year, and when
comparison is made it will be found that
more and better work has been done with
the lesser appropriation. Among what may
be called permanent Improvements are the
sidewalk on the hill leading to the steam
boat wharf, the concrete walks on Main
street, and the removal of the ledge on Front
street. Culverts that had long been clogged,
causing overhows every rain storm, have
been cleaned or rebuilt, cutters made to
answer the purpose fol which they We're in
tended, and many rods of new wooden side
walk laid.
Morrison & Cottrell have contracted, on
the terms of their original contract, for a
further extension of the sewer system, from
Grove to Park on Congress street, distance
of Ais feet. This is done at the request OF
residents who wish to have sewer connection
and will dispose of some Objectionable
drains. When this section is completed
nearly $500 feet Of sewer will have been laid
this year at cost of 800 within the appro-
priation. The work has been we'll and faith
fully done by the local contractors, under
the supervision of II. P. Farrow, G. E., and
they would be glad to continue at the same
price While the price was satisfactory to
them it was no less so to the city. 1t was
not only within the estimates. but the work
included section on Church street through
solid ledge, which had been avoided hereto
FORE although an important part of the
sewer system. The building OF $500 feet of
sewer this year is not only benefit to resi-
dents along the line, but to the city as a
whole, and the fact that the work has been
done. and the manner in which it has been
done, are alike matter for congratulation.

The consummation of the nego-
tiations between the United
States and Great Britain in be-
half of a peaceable settlement Of
controversies affecting the inter-
ests or honor of either or both
countries, will undoubtedly be
counted as one of the browning
achievements of the nineteenth
century. The treaty of general
arbitration,which was signed yes.
terday by Secretary oiney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, and sent
by the President to the Senate,
is a voluminous document.
This treaty is simply the cul.
minating point of consistent
line of republican policy in the
direction of international arbi
tration. For some years past
there has been decided trend
on both sides of the Atlantic To-
ward the establishment of an ac-
knowledged center of interna'
tional authority in all matters of
international interest and obliga-
ton. The Congress of American
Nations, held in Washington in
1889, and with which the name
of James G. Blaine will always
be honorably associated, dis
cussed at great length and finally
adopted a recommendation to the
Respective governments repre-,
sented of " an agreement upon a
definite plan of ALTERATION of all
questions.dls and differences
that may exist between them to
the end that all difficulties be.
tween such nations may be peace.
ably settled and wars prevented. !"
Thus the American nations may
justly be said to have initiated
the movement which has culmin-
ated in the arbitration treaty.
It's not out of place to refer at
this time TO the fact that Gen.
Grant threw the weight of his
great influence in behalf of the
movement. 1t will be recalled
that Immediately upon his re-
turn from his famous tour around
the world he took occasion to as.
sert his conviction that "tbe time
was not distant when there would
be an international court of final
appeal for the peaceable settle
ment of all international dis
putes." The present treaty is a
step in the direction indicated
and predicted by Gen. Grant
Maa and Express.
