Both Gomez and the governor general
feel that the privates ought not tO lose

Americans is that the company officers

BERLIN MILLS LOGS HUNG UP.
Lack OF Water in Dead River Causes 5000.
600 Feet TO Be Tied Up.

Skowhegan. Me. May 15.-(SpeciaD.
The lack of water in the Dead River
region has tied up 5000, 600 feet of logs
belonging to the Berlin Lumber 60. of
Farmingdale. and unless there is a
change ii is probable that the logs win
remain there until next spring. The
logs which at the present time are tied
up are the last in the drive in that
section, the others being started of
while the water was high. Since the
logs are not yet out of the lake il is
thought they cannot be started off this
spring since rains would raise the pitch
Of the lakes but little.
The logs belonging TO the companies
in that section have been started on
their way down river and no trouble is
being experienced with them. There
are at the present time few logs run
ming over the dam. but it will not be
until the middle of the week before the
drives are here in such numbers that
it can be said that the driving season
has actually commenced.
The drive belonging to Lawrence
Bros. of South Gardiner, is now out OF
the Spencer and part Of the drivers
are returning home. The drive was
gotten out without difficulty taking y

A Sailors Convention.

1t is appropriate that special efforts
should be made this year to secure gen
eral response to the invitations to the
American Sailors Conference to be held in
Boston on October 25, 20 and 27.
This conference Is to be limited to Amer
lean sailors and those from Canada and tho
Canadian provinces. After a speech OF
welcome by the Mayor of Boston and an
address on THE Sailor" by Chaplain
GEORGE A. CRAWFORD OF the United States
Navy, there will be Il reception and ban
quet. The second day will be devoted to
the hearing OF reports from the Gulf and
Atlantic coast States and other business.
The closing exercises will be held in the
Old South Church, where chorus OF two
hundred will sing, and there will be ad-
dresses by the pastor OF the Old South
the Rev. DR.. GEORGE A. GORDON, and by
President ELIOT OF Harvard.
The events OF 1898 and 1899 have i'm
measurably exalted the Importance, among
the people of other countries, OF the hardy
and efficient American sailor They have
likewise brought fuller realization OF his
merits and seamaulike qualities to many
Americans. 1t has long been recognized
fact that the treatment OF sailors Is better
on American ships than on the ships of any
other nation. The safeguards Of protection
against the unnecessary perils OF the sea are
more numerous here, and the pay Of scamen,
generally speaking, is better on American
than on foreign ships. The sanitary condi-
tions on American ships, too, are better and
the discipline OF masters Is not less firm but
decidedly less harsh, than elsewhere. But,
despite these advantages, the condition
OF the sailors lot is still susceptible of
many amelorating changes, and it is to
devise the form Of these that the Boston
conference has been called.
The American jack tar may be less hllari-
Gus than his English prototype of the era
OF frigates and small sea craft, but In an
emergency he has no equal, and for steady
service he has no visible superlors and
very few rivals.
