forwarded to that town that the proper

The State assessors will go into SEES
sion, Tuesday. for the work of the fall
and winter The recent Investigations
have been in the line of the amount of
new machinery placed in the cotton and
wooden mills They find that great
deal of new machinery has been added
to the cotton mills. The growing ten
dencv in all parts of the State where
the cotton manufacturing is carried
on is for the mills to put in machines
that will carry on the manufacture of
cloth more rapidly. This change in
machines is not made because some of
the present machines are worn out or
have deteriorated with age, but because
there jS,a wish to manufacture the cloth
more rapidly. For instance, In one
mart of the State new machines nave
been put in where the spindies now
turn five where they formerly turned
hut three times The move for more
rapid work is made in all of the de-
partments with the exception of in the
cardins room. There it is found I'M
practicable to have the machines run
any faster.
Eut little change is made in the
wooden mills What changes are maze
* mostly in the line of making addi-
tons to the number of machines.

The people of PenObscot county are
confident that no more attempts Will
be made in that section to
set forest fires, as thorough
lesson of what the State in
surance commissioners intend to do
was given at the recent fire investiga-
ton in Olamon. \ great many forest
fires occurred during the summer and
there are reasons for believing that
some of them We're of incendiary
origin.
Hon. S. Carr State insurance COM
missioner, has recently returned from
Olamon in Penobscot county where he
has been holding an investigation. Just
what the result will be cannot be said
but one thing is evident. This is that
as he intends to investigate all such
matters in his usual thorough manner.
there will be tendency TO be more
cautious.
The investigation lasted for some
time and at the end there We're some
pretty badly frightened people in the
room where the inquest was held. The
effect has been to give the people the
knowledge that all such matters will
be closely looked into as are the in
cendiary fires in dwellings.
