Although 50 easily reached. these
camps are really ia the Maine wilder
ness, where dense and extensive forests
abound, aud it is wonderful the large
number OF ponds and streams - easily
accessible from them. Among these are
named Attean and IIoleb fails; Three
Streams, Spencer Rips and Moose River j;
Little Big Wood, Little Wood, Clear
Water, Horse shoe and Benjamin ponds.
These, with the connecting streams aud
the brooks that empty into them, make d
very wide range of fishing grounds
and ample scope for canoeing and in the
season for hunting big and small game.
There are six OF these unique log
cabins in cluster on gem OF an island

furnished and very convenient for fami-
lies or companies of sportsmen. Canoes,
boats, guides and outfits, also board, are
furnished at very reasonable figures
Mr.. Newton, who is well known TO the

It now is an assured fact in the opinion
OF Maine icemen that the American Ice
company which had asked for incorpora.
ton here with capital OF $50 000. 600 is
the outcome of a movement started by
the Consolidated Ice company of New
York. The bill 10 incorporate the
company was necessary as no com
pany with a capital Of more than
$4,000, 600 can be- formed in this State
without special legislation. 1t is web
known that the il corporators of this
bill are bot the prime movers. With
the Consolidated Ice company is assoc
ciated the kuickerhceker Ice company
Of Philadelphia, he Consolidated lee
company of New York, both of which
concerns today control the ice business
of the kennebec and penohscOt river
of Maine, and the hudson river of New
York as we'll as the larger ice interests
Of Pennsylvania. These two great com
panies are the prime factor in the plan,
which also proposes the absorption of
other companies, AS conditions make
such steps advisable. There seems TO
be but little doubt that the legislature
will pass the bill.

An extra session of Congress is prob

of the Senate are in favor of the passage
of the Hull bill in absence of better

ed to the measure can prevent its pass
age in the brief time intervening before

of the regular army above $4,000 men

There was little room for doubt among
unpreiudiced people that the disease pre-
vaiing at Waterville was small pox
since the principal physicians there so
pronounced it, but the class among
which it prevailed mostly, were not dis
posed to accept the opinion of these
physicians and submit to rigid quaran-
tine without an effort for relief and so
sent to Montreal for physician of their
own nationality and an expert on that
disease. The physician responded to
their call examined the cases and pro-
nounced them Enthusiastically small pox.

An argument now used by enemies to

party in power. This is the cheapest

The damaging eil''cd of the exception
ally long continued cold weather all
over the country cannot be fully
measured or realized Mt once. The low
temperature is in greater measure pro-
vided against in the northern states
although the extreme cold may cause
death to live stock and damage crops
somewhat and greatly retard business
operations, while anything approaching
zero weather in the South involves a
sweeping loss in the gardens and fruit
groves of that section of the country.
The suffering caused by the severe cold
in this part of the country is sufficiently
serious. but the actual damage is far
heavier in the South aud on the plains
of the distant West. Especially has this
been the case of late when heavy and
long continued SHOWS with zero weather
have invaded the country as far south
as Texas.

The Mileage Book Issue.

We make extracts from a circular
letter received from Herbert p. Gardner,

Maine railroads, which give an idea of
what the friends of the MEASURE purpose
to do:
We are asking for two cent mileage

We expected no bitter fight in this mat
ter, having been hld back with the
partial understanding that the railroads
would grant This without n fight. But
the fight is on. Il il the railroad against

already hren intinidAting members and

such members as they can reach, and are
doing every thing they can IL prevent
this matter from being decided on its
merits.
We claim with many details that :
The railroads of this State pay but
twenty five per cent in amount of the
taxes they should eqaitably pay; that
the railroad interests monopolize and
unduly influence all selections tor high
places in This State.
They have utiustly Disseminated
