CLOSED TIGHT.
Saloon Keepers Given a Hint
by the Mayor.
Any Violation of the Closing Law will
be Followed by Revoking of
the License.

Mayor Currier gave strict. orders to
the police Saturday 10 report any sa-
loon that is found to be open after mid
night or on Sunday. Any such saloon
is to be deprived of it's license 1t is an
open secret that it has not been a.diffi-
cult matter to get ones thirst quenched
at more than one saloon in the city on
Sundays. While some of the saloon
keepers have obeyed the law closely,
others have been careless about their
back doors and complaints have come
to the mayor both in person and by
letter, demonstrating against the con.
tinuance of such a state of affairs.
The result is that the screws have
again been put on, and closer watch
is to be kept on the saloons by the po-
lice force than ever before.
Some of the saloon keepers did patrol
work Sunday and kept "a watch on
their brother saloon keepers, to see
that all were acting alike.
Mayor Currier states that he did not
give any new orders Saturday to the
police. He had heard that one or two
of the saloon keepers we're not living
up to the letter of the law, and he in
structed the police to enforce the orders
which he had previously given them
He stated that he will revoke the IL
cense of any one violating the law, no
matter who he may be. The proprietor
of hotel which has bar in connec-
tion will receive no more favors than
the regular saloon keepers, and if it can
be shown that they are violating the
law their licenses will be cut off,

THE BUILDING OUTLOOK.
1t is Not Very Favorable for Next
Year.

The outlook for next year is not ia
vorable to the erection of many dwell
ing houses or stores, owing to the high
price of building material, Several
buildings that were to have been erect
ed this year were postponed for this
cause, and prices have not yet ceased to
advance, although production in every
branch of industry has expanded to pro-
portions heretofore unknown in this
country
In speaking of the building prospects
for next year, local architect stated
today that he had heard of but little
work planned. Whenever the drop IN
prices comes there will be a good deal
of building done. This architect went
on to say that things were different
during the high prices of 1891 and 1892
Then there was great deal of building
done, and when the collapse came the
following year many of those who had
borrowed money with which to build
could not stand the load. 1t is the same
this year with railroad building as it
was then. Although prices of every
thing are far higher than for several
years past, the railroads have done
great deal of building, covering
Southern Minnesota with net work of
new roads. When prices are low, the
roads do not do much building.

IN BATH SHIPYARDS.
All Are Busy and Everyone Rejoices
at Baths Prosperity.
Sewalfs New Steel Ship-A Handsome SticI
from a Maine Forest.

y. Blaisdell, the Bath boat builder
has IA orders ahead for small craft OF
various design, most of which are to be
constructed for the vessels now build.
\ ing at Sewalls, Kelly & Spears, and
| the New England Cos. yards The
tcrulsing yacht Dorinda recently bull;
by Mr.. Blaisdell for his son Philip, is
| one Of the handsomest craft Of the
KIND ever put into the Kennebec.
While designed as cruiser it is not
at all improbable that the Dorinda may
develop high speed.
At Virgins spar yard is a handsome
pine stick that is being converted into
2 mast for one of the New England
COS. bargcs.

that from the old Pine Tree State are
becoming something of az curiosity.
Comparatively few such logs come
Down river nowadays. That One came

left In the neighbOring coast towns
Every once in q while a man comes

his Land that would make elegant
masts, ana / don't know how many
times I've gone only to find that
they are no more fit for masts than so
many bean poles. They look all right
to the inexperienced eye. but1 a spar
maker sees al a glance that they are
no good because. they don't hold their
bigness near lthes top. We can
straighten them QUIZ can sometimes
