Next Month.

Another electric light controversy is
In sight. The first year OF the Portland
Electric Light company's street light
contract with the city OF Portland will
expire next month, and the city council
win have the right to discontinue the
service If 1t sees tit, though in making
the contract the company anticipated
renewal for term OF five to ten years.
1t has been generally supposed that the
Portland Electric Light company would
encounter no difficulty in securing a re-
newal Of It's contract this fall At the
present time the city is paying $40 per
light, but under the terms Of the contract
the price after this year VIII be S66 per
light.
Saturday evening the PRESS heard a
rumor that the Consolidated Electric
light company contemplated putting in
a bid for street lighting, at the expira
tion Of tbs. first year of the present con-
tract. A reporter called upon represen-
tative OF the Consolidated, who admitted
the truth of the rumor.
''The officers of our company" said
he, "have decided to put in bid to the
city council next month. Our bid will
be about $40 per light per year fora term
or three years. We have secured power
from outside parties and can guarantee
lights under every and all conditions.
The present capacity of our plant Is 25O

STILL MISSING.
That Young Dee aud StrOut Left Their
Homes.

Francis d. Dee, the seven-y year-oId boy
OF Michael Dee, and Harry Strout. 13
years of age, who left their homes in this
CITY week ago this morning, are still
missing, Yesterday Mr.. Dee and Mrs.
Strout drove 75 miles into the country,
going as tar as South Waterb bOro. Young
Srout has an aunt in that town and it
was thought likely that the lads might
have wandered as far as that. But Mr..
Dee and Mrs. Strout were unable to find
any traces Of the lads. Mr.. Dee returned
home last night, but Mrs. Strout re-
manned at South Waterboro and viii con-
tinue her trip further in hopes of learn
ing something OF the boys. Mr.. Dee
called at the police station last night and
reported to Deputy Marshal Firth. The
deputy said he would at once send out
postal car all over the surrounding
country giving descriptions of the boys.
The last seen of the youngsters was when
they started off for the Casco street
primary school. Young Dee is or light
complexion, his hair IS clipped short; he
wore black cap, no coat, a striped
blouse, black shoes and gray pants. He
does not talk plainly as three weeks ago
an operation for swelling in his throat
was performed. Mr.. Dee has four other
children, one being younger than the lost
boy.
No description is given of young
Strout. Mr.. Dee is empoyed by the Rufus
Deering Lumber company and the father
OF young Strout works at Aliens
stable, 16 Forest avenue, and boards at
Mark Crockett s on the upper end of the
avenue.
Walter johnson, a driver at Soule's
stable on Forest avenue, thinks that he
saw the Strout boy In a cider mill at
Falmouth last Wednesday. But as far as
known no other person. has seen either of
the boys in that section.

Gently passed through bad fire in West

About this window was hanging a double

occurred when the lightning striking
against this window completely brushed
away one half of the curtain and sent it
whirling across the room while the 9TH

touched. The glass in the windows was
smashed into million pieces, but not
