THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day, year of our Lord
1900, in Belding, was dark, damp day
and dreary enough to give any one the
blues if they had felt so disposed, in
stead of being thankful. The roads
were bad and there was very little life
or stir visible from the outside, al
though there were many home gather
ings with everything bright and CHEEKY
on the inside OF their homes. The fac
tories were shut down, the banks clos
ed, the post Office most OF the day, the
stores in the afternoon.
The Thanksgiving services were held
in the Baptist church and Pastor Car
man of the M. l.. church preached the
sermon. The attendance was not large.
The football game in the afternoon
created little excitement report is
given elsewhere. In the evening the
dance at the opera house under the
auspices OF the Foresters closed the day.

We have all heard how monkeying
with stoves and stovepipe would endan-
ger ones moral character, but it seems
there are also other dangers. Mr.. Ro-
maine Robinson and his wife were en-
gagged in making some transfer or
change in stoves last Thursday after
noon, and Mrs, Robinson standing upon
stepladder, attempted to lean against
door which she supposed was latched,
but it wasn't. She lost her balance
and fell, striking in such manner as
to break the bones in one of her
wrists.

Needs Of Kennebec Riv-
er and Camden.
History of Improvements Above
Gardiner.


Washington, Jan. 1.-The Secretary
Of War has transmitted to Congress re-
ports from Major s. W. Roesslsr on pro-
jects of Improvements Of Camden Harbor
and the Kennebec river, between Gardi-
ner Bridge and Augusta Dam. The Ken
nsbec Is OF miles long from the whsrves
at Gardiner to the whsfves at Auausts,
and In that distance contains seven
shoals. Browns Island shoal ends At
point about five miles fellow Augusta and
from this point for q distance OF l-2
miles TO Gardiner bridge there was ut ths
time Of the last survey q least channel
depth OF thirteen feet at mean low. tide.
In the upimproved condition Of the river
less than three feet Of water could be oar
ried to A ugustn ut low tide in the lowest
stage Of the river. Congress early recog-
nizsd the Importance of improving this
portion Of the river and made Its first ap-
Precipitation In 1897. Between that time
and 1852, there was appropriated sis.5 o.
In 1866. ,2o, 900 was appropriated to i'm
prove the river from Augusta to Shepard
Point. In 1868 q project was adopted
for channel 100 feet wide and feet deep
up as far as Hailowsll and I-2 feet Cor
II feet at high tide) from Hallowsll to
Augusta. This project was completed In
1871. In 1886 another project was adopt
ed providing fer the excavation Of Hinok-
ley q lower hoal to 10 feet at low tide
and to dredge allthe shoals to depth OF
feet extreme low tide. This was ooIn-
plsted In 1898.
Major Hoessler 10 Of the opinion thai so
far as low water navigation Is concerned
the river at this point 10 not susceptible
of further imp ovement; since the natur-
al discharge Of the river at such time
Is but little more than sufficient to fill
the channel slready obtained Captain
Lewir, Of the steamer Della Collins, Is OF
the opinion that the available depths now
are but slightly greater than before the
Improvements was commenced. As
means, however, CT deepening the high
water Navigation, which constitutes the
bulk OF the traffic, the further deepening
OF the channel Is very worthy to be un-
dertaken. A siugle firm at Augusta
ships ten million feet of lumber annu-
ally. and Augusta imports $4,000 tons of
coal on vessels yearly. The desired I'M
provemsnt OF two feet additional would
give the channel the same depth above
Gardner that II is below. A survey to
determine the ctss Is recommended.
At Camden the main object Is to OBJ
tin further dredging to twelve feet Of
the area already drsdged to 10 feet. so as
TO admit vessels of deeper darft and dis-
pense with iiahtsrags. Major Roessl.r
thinks the further impros ement of this
harbor IL worthy OF consideration and
recommends a survey.
