MUST SECURE NEW WHARF.
kennebec Steamboat Co. Must Leave Old
Lincoln Wharf at Boston.

kennebec valley people will be in
ested in the following story from the
Globe concerning the wharf in Boston
which has been the landing of the
Kennebec Steamboat Co. for several
years:
Negotiations for the sale of the
wharf by the Lincoln Wharf Corpora
ton to the Elevated Co. have advanc-
er so far that Managing Director Ban
croft of the Elevated Railway, stated.
yesterday, he thought the business
would be practically concluded at a
meeting of the companys directors,
Monday.
THE price has been agreed upon.
said Gen. Bancroft but l cannot say
that the sale of the wharf to the Ele-
waited Co has actually been made
We expect it will be. the taking OF
the wharf having been under consld-
Grafton for some time and the preliml-
nary business having been done
In response to a question as to what
the plans of the Elevated Railway Co.
were in regard to the uses to which 1t
would put the wharf, Gen. Bancroft
said:
1T is proposed to build power
house there much like the one at AL
bany street and to erect the coal
pockets necessary for use in connec-
ton with the power house. BENG at
tide water the location is a good one
for our purpose. We save the cost ol
land transportation on coal, as II Will
be unloaded directly from the barges
at the place where it is to be convert
ed into power. Then the wharf being
directly on the line of the Atlantic
Avenue Elevated, power will not have
to be conveyed any distance worth
mentioning to reach the road.
General Bancroft said he did not feel
AZ liberty to state the price agreed up
on for the property.
I'VE got in on very advantageous
terms" said he.
Lincoln wharf has been in use as d
landing place for steamboats,, and It's
transfer to the Elevated Co. Will fur-
Their reduce the number of North end
wharf properties available for this pur-
pose. and add to the enforced extern
sion of Boston's transportation inter
est from the old time centers.
The principal tenant of the Lincoln
Wndl1 property 10 lllC ANSiiiSpNN N'sN"''-
boat Co. Boats for Nahant have also
used the wharf for a number OF years.
More than 100000 travellers and eX-
cursionists embark from and arrive at
his wharf every summer. Its proXlm-
itv to the North ferry and the lines OF
cars running to that point has always
kmade it popular with the travelling
Epublic.
The Kennebec Steamboat Co. is now
looking for another berth. and one may
psssibly be secured in the same neigh
|h9fhood.
Mot much will be done toward build
ing the power station for few weeks
vet. The Kennebec Steamboat Co mas
been Informed that probably it can re-
main on the property until June, al
though work may be begun at the head
of the wharf on Commercial street,
before then.
General Bancroft said. yesterday al
ternoon. that the plans for the new
power house and fuel depot had not
been completed.

We ALL KNOW IT.
Announcement that the Winter Was One Of
Most Severe on Record.

Springfield. Mass. Starch 2I.-Thc win
ter has been one Of the most severe on
record over the wheat belt, according to
special report compiled by the New
England Homestead.
The ground everywhere has been frozen
to a depth beyond all precedent and to
accentuate this condition, snow protection
has been very limited. Except in the eX-
treme southern part of The belt. the last
week of March brings no appearance of
spring growth.
A preliminary estimate of the condition
of the whole crop shows percentage of
s21. against $50. last year., and the lowest
figure reported at this date in five years.
The advent of April weather. however,
may show a favorable change.
