The postoffice at Millnocket, where
the Great Northern Paper Company has
built up a big Maine town, has been
advanced from the fourth class to the
presidential group on account OF the
large volume of business passing through
it. This is an important move for the
Office and indicates the position Mill
nocket has attained in the State. The

self.
The Kennebec river has a cutting sur
face, including both sides OF Swan
Island of about 80 miles in length and
an average breadth OF 900 feet. These
figures give 12l acres of surface to the
mile, or $500 acres in all. Allowing
| 900 tons of twelye-inch ice to the acre,
the normal capacity of the Kennebec is
3 ,630, 900 tons. On the Penobscot there
are only about five miles available for
ice cutting, and 805 900 tons Is the max
imum amount of twelve-inch ice to DO
obtained therefrom. From these figures
1t is apparent that the relative capacity
of these important streams has never
yet been fully tested.

toward Kineo in canoe padded by two
guides. When some three miles dis
tant from Garry the gale struck the
frail canoe and capsized it instantly.
The sportsman and guides hung to the
craft, and after a thrilling hour in the
water and darkness, they were washed
ashore on Green island. From that
point they signalled to Northeast Garry,
and batteau was sent out, which
brought them ashore.
The American and British squadrons
terminated their 10 days visit at Bar

Crescent. The British fleet left its an
chorage and describing an arc, passed
the American ships, which fell into line,
the New York escorting the Psyche, the
Kearsage the Indefatigable and the In
diana the Quail. The Massachusetts,
Texas, Kentucky and Scorpion brought
up the rear. Out past Egg Rock the
ships went, the American vessels dis
playing the British flag at the peak and
the visitors showing a similar courtesy.
The band of the New York played Brit
ish airs and the Crescent's musicians
responded in kind. Upon reaching
Bakers island the squadrons disappear
