HORSEPOWER GOING BY.
Gasoline Engines Used as Power by Kennebe
County Farmers.

Slowly but surely the gasoline engine
is replacing the old-fashioned horse
power on the farms in this section.
During the past year, over 30 gasoline
engines have been installed on neigh
boring farms by Frank | Clark of this
city. In former years the farmers
who had use for power had the old
fashioned horse power apparatus by
which one or a pair If horses was kept
at work in the tread mill arrange
ment.
The demand for power increased as
the silo came into more general use
but it was found that this did not
work to the best advantage. as more
power was needed. In their places the
gasoline engines were installed, 50 that
now the engine is used on very many
of the farms. There are several ad-
vantages to this form of motive pow
er and it did not take the farmers
great while to find this out.
Many Of the farmers who formerly
sawed their wood by means of the
horse power have put in a small gas
oline engine and are using this in fur
nishing power for different parts of the
farm work.
None of the engines that are now be
ing put in are very large. but range
from one to five-horse power. The
people living near the farmers having
the engines in operation find that they
are such a success that the number
bids fair to increase still more.

WILL NOT EFFECT THE KENNEBEc.
Hearsts Injunction. II Secured. Will Only
Cause Suffering in New York.

The move of w. Il. Hearst of New
York. to secure an injunction restrain
ing the American Ice Go. from doing
business will not affect the ice ship
ments on the Kennebec for the pres
cnt at least. 1t had been feared by
some that there would be a suSpen-
sion of business farther down tn"
river and that a large number would
be thrown out Of employment.
George n. Lawrence, the company
local manager. said. yesterday, that
the shipments would be carried on as
usual unless the injunction should b.
obtained by Hearst's attorneys. of
the supply of ice in New York. he said
that should the injunction be obtained
mere must be great deal Of suffer
.ng there The company, at the pres
cnt time. controls the greater part of
the ice handled in New York and
should they be restrained from doing
business by the injunction, only the
small dealers who have an insufficient
supply could carry on the business.
IT would seem from the facts that
should the injunction be secured.
Hearst's purpose to secure lower prices
would be defeated, since the smaller
dealers would naturally advance the
price with the enormous demand.

FOa THE BENEFIT OF THE LIBRARY.
An Elaborate Entertainment Planned for
Augusta, Later in May.

1t is common saying that there is
no new thing under the sun. but the
! Business Mems Reception" to be
given the latter part of the present
month, in this city, under the au-
spices of the Lithgow Public library.
would seem to be REPUTATION of this
old adage. A large portion of the PRO
ceeds of this entertainment will be de-
voted to the benefit of the library
The entertainment has been given in
other cities of the State, and the re-
ports upon it have been uniformly
favorable. 1t is said to be not only
novel, but instructive and enjoyable as
well. There will be some 80 young Ia
dies Of our city who will participate
in the exercises of the evening. and
who Will display some expensive and
beautiful costumes designed to adyer-
tisc the various forms of business in
the community. Among other features
Of the entertainment Will be the phan-
toscope, Il machine which is used for
giving moving and still pictures, and
also in the illustration of songs which
will be pictured, including THE Holy
City" and THE Lost Chord
Prof. and Mrs. Foudray. who are
getting up this entertainment. have
had wide experience in the work. and
carry in their equipme Mt hundreds of
pictures. Prof Foudray is said to be
very fine singer. OF this Augusta
people have an opportunity to judge,
tomorrow. when he will sing at the
morning service in the Universalist
church.
The date ana place Of the library en-
tertainmcnt will be announced later in
the Journal.

III railroad commissioners will be
at their department, the first of next
week. when several matters Will come
up. 1t is anticipated that at that time
a report IN the findings Of the inquest
held Over the accident at York Harbor
wifi IL, made. Nothing definite has
been reported on the result of the acct
dent and the announcement is awaited
with a great deal of interest.
The wall telephone that has been on
duty at this department for so long
will be replaced by modern long dis
lance desk telephone which will be
placed on Col. +. G. Farrington's desk.
The wall telephones are gradually be-
coming a thing of the past at the
State House. Many of the departments
have n great deal of communicating to
do with other cities. Frequently the
use Of the telephone saves the State a
great deal. but with the old form Of
Instruments there was the usual
trouble that comes during a stormy
day. over half of the departments are
now using the desk instead of the old
wall instruments.

STATE HOUSE.
Sixteen Founders Are Being Taken at
Sebago Lake.
Farmers Institute Will Be Held at Salisbury
Cove. Next Tuesday.

Reports come from Sebago to Hon. l..
T. Carleton, the chairman of the fish
and game commission, that the salm-
on fishing was never better at SebaSo
lake than at the present time. Inc
letter was received from one or the
guides in that section. This is the best
possible news to the fishermen. Inc
lake has long been known as one OF
the most tickle spots in the State, ana
had moods as varying as those OF
woman. One day the fishing would be
good and then again there would be
almost an absence of the sport. This
is all changed. apparently. now. for the
reports state that the fishing is better
than it has ever been. and that more
salmon are being taken than ever be
fore The fish are varying from 10 to
1874 pounds.

The difficulty in getting supplies has
delayed the work of laying the mosaic

probably be here on the boat this

after the bits Of marble are laid the
work is not completed for the work

ferent departments steal few mo-
ments before and after the office hours
to see the workmen put on the finish
ing touches.

William L. Hughes,
FOR THE REPUBLICAN,
NOMINATION. FOR ASSESSOR,
UPPER DISTRICT, HARRl-
son COUNTY.

The many Telegram readers who
have perused the narratives In with
er's Border Warfare" will hardly need
a further reminder OF the factthat the
Hughes were among the first explorers
of Harrison county when her vast for
ests were roamed by those Indian tribes
whose favorlte hunting ground was the
West Fork Valley. William L.
Hughes is the son of a Union soldier
and one of the representative citizens
and faithful Republican workers OF
Grant district.
Mr.. Hughes owns and resides upon
the identical farm upon which his
great grandfather located upon his ar
rival from the mother country, Eng
land, a fact which places his name on
the roll OF those who are true descend
ants OF Harrison's sturdy pioneers.
Mr.. Hughes is an industrious and
successful farmer, good judge of
stock, a practical business man and a
citizen whose integrity, sobriety and
high sense OF honor, has commanded
for him the exalted place he holds in
the estimation Of those who know him
best.
He has always been a Republican
and it has ever been his cherished am
bition to assist inevery way thegpwth
and perpetuity Of his party. He was a
candidate for assessor before the con-
vention four years ago, but the fact
that he was not nominated did not in
In the least diminish his party zeal.
He is Republican from principle and
aside from the assessorship has asked
for no other political Office. He is a
man OF pleasing address, genial and
cordial to all, and IL nominated will
undoubtedly be elected. His eight
years service as n member OF the Re-
publican county executive committee
gave him an opportunity to prove his
usefulness to the party and upon that
record he submits his case to the peo-
pie. He is the only candidate Grant
district offers this year, and comes
from district that has had repre-
sentative in county affairs but once
since the civil war.
