SHIPPING SEASON At ITS HEIGHT.
Fully 1000 Tons Of Ice Being Shipped Daily
from Maine.

The hot weather OF the past week has
given great boom to the shipments of
ice on the Kennebec. At the present time
the American Ice Co. is employing 100
men in different parts of the State. The
greater part of these are at work on the
Kennebec, although there are enough
men at work in other parts of Maine to
make the influence of the hot weather in
New York felt in this section of the coun-
try.
At the present time four crews are at
work on the Penobscot and eight crews
are working on the kennebec. A new
crew will be set at work in Portland the
first of the week. in addition to the crew
that is at work in Wiscasset, where coats
shipments are being made. The Portland
ice houses have not been opened so far.
this year, and when that crew is set a
work the first of the week, it will be the
first time that shipments have beeen
made from that city since last summer.
There is every indication that the hous-
es will all be cleaned out this year There
is a great demand in New York and 9TH
er cities for the ice and at present 1000
tons a day are being shipped from Maine.

will Pass the 10000 Mark.

Some have been inclined to laugh at
the estimate, gained from a reliable
source, that the population of Augusta
would be 1900 as shown by the census
returns. An examination of the re-
turn of the board of assessors shows
that the population will exceed that
number if the factor used by the best
authorities may be considered .ac-
curate. According to the returns of the
assessors the city has 1890 taxable polls
with so not taxable. This, us
ing the basis of 4.O4 as the
average number of people for
each voter. would give a population of
12,1G0. 1t is more probable. considering
the population. that the factor 4.04 is
too small so that there is slight ques-
ton that the population is more than
l.. 900. a gain of 1000 over n decade ago.
The population at one time since 1890,
was even gre:ter. but since the shoe
shop was shut down the number has
decreased slightly.

A strange misunderstanding has re-
suited in New York man getting a
sood positlon at Bar Harbor. A short
time ago the journal published a story
OF man being apparently i'll treated
IN fhlladeipnia. He was at the nation
al convention and there formed the ac-
quaintance Of man who offered him
a lucrative position in Bar Harbor as
steward at hotel. The man left for
Bar Harbor, using up the greater part
of his money to go to Names famous
summer resort. There he could not
find the hotel or the man who had
offered him employment. The man re-
turned as far as Clinton by train and
then started to walk to Portland from
there, his money giving out When in
this city his strength gave out and he
was carefully cared for by City Mar
shall Breen and Deputy Marshal Grover
From this city he continued his way
home.
On arriving at Philadelphia he re-
ceived word from the man who had en-
gagged him. A correspondence was
opened and as the result it was learned
that there was a misunderstanding re-
garding the name Of the house and the
employer. Finally the man was given
a place in Bar Harbor in the same
house for which he was first engaged
and is now there at work. He was seen
by the officers at the station in this
city on his way back to Bar Harbor
and to them told the story Of his good
fortune in securing so lucrative a po-
sition, even though long tramp and
attended it.

Deer have become so plenty in the
Rangeley region that farmers who live
next the woods have difficulty in rails
ing any vegetables, and it is becoming
serious matter with more than one poor
farmer whether to give up farming or to
shoot the deer and go to Jail. County
Commissioner /. w. Greene has lost
half of his vegetables this year from
them. They walk into his garden and APP
propriate whatever of the white mans
food they take fancy to. The deer are
particularly adept at digging potatoes,
using their two-pronged hoe, they
can pull them out of the ground faster
than 12-year-old boy would want to
pick them up.
Near Mr.. Greene's farm is the farm of
r. o. Dyer. Last year he was troubled
very much by the animals They took
liking to his carrots and would go into
the depths of the earth after them till he
was nearly driven to despair. Finally he
bought a dog and whenever he saw
deer in his fields he would set the dog on,

ers At The State House.

According to the new man which has
recently been issued by Col F. c. Far
rington, the estimated population of the
State is 10000 in round numbers This
is much higher than has yet been placed
by any one but it is safe to say that Col.
Harrington has made an estimate that
is as reliable as anything yet published.
Col. Harrington bases his estimate on the
number of polls. These he has gained
from the State assessors and uses the
factor iA in his estimates, that is, he
reckons "A people to every poll. 1t takes
but a glarUe at the returns made by the
State assessors to see that if this factor
were used in all towns it would fall wide
of the mark In the manufacturing towns
especially, the average to a family is
greater, while in the towns where
the population is native born the
factor is far too large. But for an aver
age 1t may be considered correct.
Hon. S. w. Matthews, commissioner of
industrial and labor statistics, uses a diff
ferent factor in estimating the popula-
ton. He claims that 4.25 is too much and
uses 4.04 as the average for each poll. But
taking that figure it may readily be seen
that Maine has made big gains in popu-
lation during the last decade

would be Impossible to estimate. Attempts

an idea. Col. Z. c. Harrington, clerk to
the railroad commissioners started reg
lister at one time, but that did not eaten
the names of all the visitors at that de-
partment.
There is register at the Office of the
commissioners of inland fisheries and
game. So far nearly 100 names have been
registered during the month of July, but
it is safe to say that this number does not
include all those who visit the department
and this is one of the most popular places
