Possibilities Opening Up.

The, possible advent of a new railroad
through Winthrop suggests a number of
improvements and Enterprises which also
might be erected f6r the benefit of the
town. For instance. at some convenient
location on side hill cooperative cold
storage building for, apples might be con-
structed. Within a radius of six or eight
miles of Winthrop village many thousand
barrels of apples are raised annually; in
deed the apple crop is fast becoming the
main dependence of the farmers, and by
the cold storage plan the profits could at
least be doubled. Winthrop village. with
the new railroad. would be well situated
for such an enterprise.
The second improvement which Is sug
geSted is for the benefit of the summer
boarder industry. 1t is the building and
maintaining of a small deer park on the
shore of Maranacook lake, either on
Wheeler's Point or on the east side near
the land recently purchased by Mr..
Jenkins. The Enclosure would come down
to the waters edge so that pleasure par
ties passing by in the steam launches
could see the deer as they would stand.
as is their habit, by the waters edge in
the warm summer days.
Another thing which all agree that
Winthrop needs is Il good road to the top
Of Mt. Pisga. The truth of the case is,
we don't half appreciate that hill. or the
view which may be seen from it's sum-
nit. A road to the top is the first thing.
and then perhaps in time an observatory
might be built at the summit.
Some may regard these suggestions as
visionary, but once it would have been
thought visionary if any one had init
mated that Craig's Point and MaranacOok
grove would have become such popular
summer resorts. as they have. What
Winthrop needs to do is to keep the ball
in motion.-Winthrop Banner

Snow on the Trials.

A frost in New Orleans would I'M
than was the snow fall on the trails
leading to the Yukon. That the latter
will pretty effectually put a stop to the
venturesome attempts to enter the
Klondyke region is not difficult to be-
lieve in view of the danger attending
the passage of these routes in the best
weather the past summer has afforded.
That danger is wildly described in a
report which a statistical expert, S. G.
Durham, sent by the government COM
missioner of labor to investigate the
conditions in the Yukon, makes to his
chief. In this report he says, Il have
tried to give you a fair idea of the
hardships of this journey, but feel my
incapabiity to paint it's terrors. ItAs
out of my line. 1 will simply say tltAt
no one who has written on the subject

He says the Skaguay trial, where the
deep snowfall September 13,is reported

winds along the brink or precipid&s
where a misstep would hurl one Sa

passing over glaciers as smooth as

polished boulders, while every hundred
yards or so the glacial torrents, aug
mented by the rainfall, dash across the
course and have to be waded, the water
often coming as high as the knees and the
wind blowing fifty miles an hour. When
one thinks of the difficulties a heavy
snowfall must have added to these he
may well conclude that the undertake
ing is most foolhardy one. When Mr.
Durham was there he saw scattered

There are many interesting vessels
that come to this port but little pink
ey that makes occasional calls at Widg-
ery's wharf is as deserving of mention
as any, remarks the Portland Express.
If for nothing more than her age. the
Julia Ann ought to receive recognition.
She was built at Gloucester in 1919 and
the same keel that was originally laid
still does duty. The vessel has changed
hands many times and has been
changed over to conform to the ideas of
it's owners from time to time. Shipping
Commissioner Tolman owned the pink
ey at one time, with his partner when
he was engaged in the fishing business
at Deer Isle. He controlled her move
ments for Is years and sent her out to
the Grand Banks fishing; on mackerel
cruises; to Boston as a freighter, and
finally. made her wet boat by putting
in lobster well and putting her into
commission as a lobster smack. She
was good sea boat and through her
long and varied career has served her
masters faithfully. Her present owner
uses her as a coaster now, between Mt
Desert Ferry and coast ports as far as
Portland. The name pinkey originated
from the high narrow stern called a
pinked stern. They are one of the SAT-
est sea boats afloat but very few III
them are seen nowadays.

There is good deal of discussion of

private concerns, which are equipped
for the manufacture of the plate refuse
to make it at the rate prescribed by
Congress some are advocating the es-
Establishment of a government plant. To
this the objection is made that the
government would not be treating fair
ly those who have been at great eX-
pense in equipping private plants for
this work, as it would render those
plants worthless and would not render
it possible for the government to make
the armor any more cheaply if as
cheaply as the private concerns are
now willing to manufacture it. While
this matter is pending and work upon
the new ships is delayed an inventor
