WHAT WILL BE DONE?
Much Interest Taken in the New 81 900.
600 Boston Steamboat Co.

The interesting announcement that
a corporation with 81 900. 900 capitaI is
to be organized for the purpose OF Oh
Grating line of steamboats, between
Boston and Portland and points on the
Maine coast, including Boothbay Har-
Dor and possibly Bath, as far east as
Bangor, is attracting much attention
in Kennebec county cities where there
is a heavy ownership of the stock Of
the Kennebec & Boston Steamboat co.
The idea is that if the new line caters
for the summer business of Boothbay
and the islands. it must come in direct
competitor with the existing Kennebec
steamers. the seaShore travel on which
is extensive and growing rapidly.
BoOthbay Harbor and it's environ
ments form one of the most picturesque
and favored summer resorts on the
Maine coast. and in the season it is
thrOnged with summer visitors, the
cottages and every room in the hotels
being in demand. The Kennebec &
Boston Co has long been aware of the
value of its passenger traffic. and the
fine steamer Lincoln was put on the
route between Boston and Boothbay
HarbOr direct to accommodate Boston
travel, and at the same time il is said.
to keep out competing boats that might
be disposed to make a trial of the
route. The company did not keep the
Lincoln running. but sold her advan-
tageously for $l25.000. The past sum
mer the company has carried all their
passengers from Boston for Boothbay
Harbor points to Bath, where they
We're transferred to the boats of the
Eastern Steamboat CO., which is un-
der the same management as the Bos-
ton line. and taken to their destina-
tons
In steamboat circles it is well known
that the Kennebec & Boston steamers
have done a splendid passenger bust
ness the past season. the best in the
history of the company. Almost every
night the boats have been crowded. as
a rule. every stateroom having been
engaged days and even weeks ahead
The big summer travel on these steam
ers, as well as others. has attracted
attention. being profitable at existing
prices. The travel to Kennebec and
Boothbay points in July and August
is increasing at a surprising rate. 1t is
evident that this increase must be ac-
commodated. and the kennebec Com
pany will no doubt. meet all demands
Already there is talk that the company
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of build
ing A larger boat. A band to furnish
music is one of the coming attractions
There is interest to know just what
the new company is going TO do. They
are reported to have three propellers

NO LONGER TRUSTEE.
Supreme Court Holds That Trusteeship Ends
When Minor Becomes Of Age.

The supreme court has recently
handed down an opinion in the Page
Marston case. which involves some
thing like $4,000. The rescript was
drawn by Judge Whitehouse.
The will of the late Abner Coburn
gave d certain share Of his estate to
AlonzO G. Narston to be held in trust
by him for his son. Abner Paul Mar
stOn. Alonza G.. Marston declined to
accept the trust and George \. Page
was appointed trustee. Abner Paul
Marston became Of age. Oct. 4, 1899,
and the plaintiff asked for decree OF
the court as to whether the trust end
ed there or continued afterwards.
Il appeared that young Marston be-
fore reaching his majority spent money
RAPIDLY and made three assignments of
his share to four different parties to
several loans aggregating $33, $50 and
they also made answers to the bill in
equity of Page. 1t also appeared that
in January. 1900 AlonZO c. and Abner
Paul Marston made joint conveyance
of the entire property of George II.
Collins.
The defendants all contested that the
trust ended at Abner Paul's majority
and the court in its rescript by Judge
Whitehouse so holds and DEGREES that
the property shall be turned over to
Collins and that Page shall settle his
final account at an early day.

CHANCES MORE THAN EVEN
That Work Will Be Commenced on the Lew.
iston.A Augusta Road Next Spring.

1t is considered more than an even
thing that the extension Of the Lewis
ton. Bath & Brunswick electric road
from Lewiston to Augusta by the way
OF Winthrop will be commenced in the
spring. The work Of making the sur
vey is completed and an opportunity
was afforded recently for the men in
terested in the project to 60 over the
survey carefully. A short time ago it
was announced that the surveyors
were finding some things that were not
favorable toward the road being built.
The recent examination. however. was
encouraging to the promoters as they
found that there are not nearly as
many obstacles in the way as at first
supposed. In fact everything is so
favorable that the road would be built
without any question. if that We're all
that had to be considered. The next
move will be to look the situation over
and learn the probable earnings Of
the proposed road If that matter is
found to be satisfactory the road will
without any question be built The
tinanciering is not given a moments
thought by the promoters. as the sue
cess Of that is already assured.
If it is decided to build the road the
construction will be commenced in the
spring as soon as possible and will
be pushed through so as TO be in
operation before the snow of the fol-
lowing winter comes.

PRACTICALLY WORTHLESS.
Mill Operatives Paying $40 in InstaIIusents for
75-cent Diamond Rings.

Quite a number of people who have
been buying diamond rings for $50 on
the installment plan are much disap-
pointed to learn that their purchases
are worth but IS cents. The first
knowledge of their value was recently
gained through inquiries at a local jew
elry store.
From the information they gave Il
seems that a short time ago a smooth.
slick-looking agent called on some OF
the people working in the Lockwood
mills and showed up what We're rur-
ported to be diamonds of the first
water. The gems seemed genuine in
every particular to the person who was
not an expert in the matter. The de
ception was further carried out ny

Guilty in disposing of several for $50
a few days ago, two young women
who are employed in the mill stepped
into the store of a local jeweler and
asked the worth Of the ring. They were
told that they would not cost more
than 10 cents anywhere if their real
value was paid. The jeweler explained
that the rings We're simply plated.
while the alleged diamond was such as
might be taken out Of any plate glass
window, as it was nothing but a piece
of crystal Several more young women
called in later with the same kind Of
rings and later man called in with
another ring. All the rings received
the same inspection and the owners
We're told the same story.
Who the agent is that was selling
these rings is not stated, but it is al
safe prediction that when he calls
around for his next installment he will
fail To make a collection.

AnxiousIy Watching Post Office Bill.

Augusta citizens are anXiOusly
awaiting the time when their post office
will be enlarged by the building of an
addition. The business of the office has
increased by rapid strides within five
years, until frequently there is barely
room enough for the employees to do
their work. Especially is an enlarge
ment wanted in the newspaper mail
ing room. Last winter at one time
there was so much mail matter that it
was found necessary to store a portion
of it in the main public corridor, there
being no other place to put it. The
mails are now being weighed, for the
purpose of fixing the basis of compen-
sation for railroad transportation dur
ing the next four years. and the weigh
ers meet with much inconvenience
through lack of room to work in.
At the last session of Congress a bill
was introduced providing for the cree
ton of an addition to the present pub
lie building, but it was not reported.
as all bills of this character were held
up. 1t is expected that at the session
which opens in December the bill will
meet with an early passage, it being
in a favorable position. Several Au-
gusta men are watching it closely to
see that no mishap befalls it.
The prospect is that the new build
ing will be added to the north side of
the old one, providing the necessary
land can be obtained. The county road
extends to the river at this point but
there will be no difficulty in securing
as much of this as may be wanted. As
an offset the government may do
something in the way of road building
for the city or county. The objection
to placing the addition at the rear of
the public building is the danger from
freshets. Necessarily the basement
would be within easy reach Of the
spring floods in the river-Augusta

Items From The OutlSi.

II. f. Emery has returned from
weeks trip to Boston.
John Merrill. the well-known guide of
Cobbosseecontee, while out hunting gray
squirrels. had an experience which added
inches to his feet. inch. Hearing the
report Of a gun, he looked in the direction
of the sound. and to his surprise saw a
large deer jump from cover nearby and
run directly towards him. Only having
two shells of No. shot in his gun, he
thought his chances of getting the deer
were few. As the deer passed within
about 20 yards of him, he thought he
would give him try. He succeeded in
breaking a leg with the first charge. and
the second charge took effect in the neck,
knocking the deer down. Before Mr.. Mer-
rill could reload his gun. the deer got up
and started, with John after him. After
a hot chase of about one-fourth of mile
John came up to the deer and ended the
chase with well-directed shot The'deer
was very fine one, weighing lS5 pounds.

Fog Delays Ice Shipments.

The ice shipments on the Kennebec
have been greatly delayed during the
past week by the fog. The fog has
caused so much trouble that at the pres
ent time no schooners are being loaded
with ice. and business is prac tically at
a standstill on that point This fog in
the fall Of the year is something very
unusual. During the summer and dur
ing dog days especially, there is al
ways more or less trouble. This year
there has been but very little trouble
until this fall. The clearing weather
has given a slight start, but for near
~ a week things We're at perfect
standstill.
The ice shipments have fallen of
slightly on account of the approach Of
cold weather, and the present in dica-
ton is that there will be more or less
ice left on hand when the season has
closed.
