Likely to run Short of Material.

On account Of the scarcity of labor
ing men the Wyoming Southern railroad
company, which was to have built a

beeE compelled to postpone work until
next year. From this fact it would
seem that the Democratic state news
paper would soon run short of campaign

August Dealers Have Sufiicicncy How
They Pick Them Down East.

! The Augusta dealers now have a
| great sufficiency of hlueberries in the
market. They are retailing for Is
boxes for 81. and they are being pur-
chcs in large quantities for canning
purposes. one dealer bought a dozen
ana a half 10-quart pals full. one day
last week. carly in the morning. and
before the middle of the afternoon
they were all gone. This is true of all
the merchants. One dealer estimates
that he sold 1000 quarts through the
week.
People coming from the eastern part
of the State tell of seeing great Ameri-
can Express trucks loaded with filled
BURBERRY pals, waiting to he shipped
TO he Boston market. Some find their
way into the Maine markets. but the
majority of those shipped by express
go to the Massachusetts markets. The
farmers in the vicinity of the Maine
cites usually supply the dealers and
families with all they need
The most extensive BURBERRY plains
in til S.Ctc. ard where the bulk of
the exported and canned berries come
from. are north of the towns of
Chcrryfield. Harrington, Columbia and
Columbia Falls. the owners of which
sell rights or 'stumpage" to pickers
when the blueberries are ripe, and in
good seasons more than thousand
men, women and children camp on
these plains for month or six weeks,
engaged during the day in picking
blu berries. Tho hlueberries are not
all picked by hand. however. an imple-
me1t called a rake being used, and
armed with this rake a man will pick
several bushels a day.
The packers Of blucberries are
Joseph A. Coffin, Machias, A. r. Log

factories in Cherryfieid, one in Column
bia Falls and one in Harrington. In
1891 there were packed $4,000 bushels.
and according to the present outlook
there will be as many or more packed
this year.
One quart of bluebcrries makes a
two pound can. and % cans case.
The owners of the BURBERRY lands re-
ccive one-half cent for every quart
picked and this royalty amounts in
some instances to over $1,000 to an in

labor in a season amounts to nearly
500, 900. 1t would take about 12o
