) Page. The report of the treasurer
which had been printed and handed to
the members, was accepted. The treas
urer gave the report of the expenses of
the year and the reason for the increased
cost over the year before with detailed
statement of receipts and expenditures
The treasurer was authorized To hire
what moneys may be necessary, and it
was also voted that he pay all bills of
company thereon votes were passed
relative to the sale of prize log junks
1t was also voted that the boomage at
Sands Boom be 10 cents per log and ex-
penses.
The directors are to take the necessary
action to ascertain the figures and
amount of each mark of logs cut on
heHneOeC waters.
They we're also authorized to appoint
such agents as they may deem necessary
to prevent depredations and prosecute
persons found doing SO.
The directors were given power to
make needed repairs on dams, piers and
booms of the company; to make i'm
proyements on the river and to fix the
wages of the men employed. The driv.
ing of the logs WAS also left with the
directors.
1t was decided that the Main river
drive shall pay one half of the improve
ments the past year on East Branch, so
far as the improvements relate to repairs
on dams; and in the future the same
proportion unless otherwise voted.
The directors were instructed TO con
fer with the Edwards Manufacturing
Company in regard to the Augusta dam,
and to take such action as shall compel
the Edwards Company to make suitable
rollway in accordance with their charter,
or to compel them to pass the logs over
the dam at their expense,
The company was authorized, under
certain conditions and restrictions, 20
let the rafting of logs to lowest bidders.
The marks of logs used for booms are
to be taken and it was the opinion of
the meeting that 81 per 1000 feet was
fair compensation for damage 10 logs
80 used.
A vote was passed restricting those
having logs to land in the East Branch
or the Main Kennebeo river from letting
them float until the first high water ia
the spring.
The members voted to petition the
Legislature for an amendment 10 the
charter to allow more equal basis Of
voting at annual meetings.

The Bingham Bridge.

The case before the legislature
wherein the people OF Bingham, Concord
and other towns In that vicinity, ask
aid to build bridge across the Kenne-
bee at Bingham Is one of merit, much
greater than the major part of cases
where the assistance of the State is
unasked.
The cost of the bridge, according to
the estimates of two steel bridge build
ing companies will be 100000 This Ia
large sum of money and 1t is not pos
sible for Bingham and Concord alone
to raise it and they ask the State to
contribute one-half, or $4,000, and they
will take upon themselves the burden
Of raising sl5, 900 or more to complete 1t,
The structure is long one. The
abutments will have to be about zoe
feet apart, probably three piers will
have to be constructed, and they will
have to be quite high above the surface
of the water to clear running logs ice
and freshets.
Bingham is the terminus of the Som.
erset railway, which makes it the mar
ket and shipping point for lumber and
farm products for a great scope OF
country. There is much difficulty in
getting across the river quite a portion
of the year, fall and spring, and when
the logs are running in the early
summer.
1t is estimated that the towns OF
Concord, Pleasant Ridge and Carrying
Place, with this bridge, would increase
in population and the value of estates
so per cent at least within the coming
decade. 1t would give these towns or
the west bank of the Kennebec river
new life.
The proposed bridge will accommo
date travel across the country direci
from Pennington, Rangeley Lakes
Phillips and Kingfield to May field and
Moosehead Lake.
The nearest bridge to Bingham
down the Kennebec is the toll bridge
between North Arson and North
Madison, about 16 miles below. There
is also one at The Forks, about "a mile:
above. Thus for space of 40 miles
the Kennebec is not spanned by q
bridge for carriages. The Somerset
Railway bridge crosses, about miles
below Bingham at Scion. but this affords
no relief for the local travel to Bingham
or the travel across country at this
point. 1t is a bridge very much needed
and one that would be great benefit
to business and a great convenience.

The most extended debate for the
session in both branches OF the Maine
legislature took place, Wednesday of
last week. 1t was on the passage of
the bill to extend the charter rights of
the Eastern Telephone Company. The
Dill passed both houses by a large
majority on yea and nay vote. The
Eastern Company asked for right to
come into the general field of the State
iI competition with the New England
Company, which now has a practical
monopoly of much of Maine territory.
One argument used against the Eastern
was that the move Is speculative, that
the company would extend its lines,
come into competition with the New
England, and after a time consolidate
with or sell out to the older company.
Ihis the Eastern people stoutly deny.
Ihey say they are in the field for
honest business. Healthy competition
10 a good thing but consolidation with
increased capital to pay dividends on,
Is not picnic for patrons.

Bloodshed has b cen the result of the
saloon smashing program inauguarated
by Mrs. Nation in Kansas. At Milwood
about Ia miles from Leavenworth, Mrs.
Rose Hudson, wife of John Hudson, a
'joint" keeper, was shot and instantly
killed, Tuesday night, during raid
upon her husbands saloon. One of the
raiders was slightly wounded. The
raiders were men. This is the legiti-
mate result of attempting to suppress
crime by mob violence. 1t is just az
uniustifiable as the violation of law it
is intended to stop. How much better
it would be in Kansas if officers of the
law would do their duty, close these
liquor "joints" and remove any cause
or pretext for mob violence. The in
ception of the trouble was the acts Of
the saloon keepers, aided and abetted
by delinquent Officials aud further
carried forward by saloon smashers.
These are all in one hoat in way of
responsibility FOR the murder.

Before the Spanish war we used to
have "Billion dollar congresses, or
congresses whose appropriations for the
two years of their existence amounted
to that sum, or nearly that. OF course
the extra expense attendant upon that
war and the consequent war in the Phil
ippines and the trouble 10 China have
vastly increased the expenses of govern
ment. 1t cannot be otherwise, but
there is little doubt but unnecessary ex
travagance has obtained in many direc-
tions and to that extent that the present
congress Is liable to be a "Billion-and-a.
half congress- Some of our conserva-
tive senator's, notably Hale of Maine,
and Lodge of Massachusetts, have raised
their voices in warning against the NAM
moth appropriations likely to be
made at this the closing session of con.
gress. What effect these warnings will
have is very doubtful.

There has been much talk 10 Augusta
this winter about economy but really
very little action in that direction. The
trouble is, nearly every member has a
little scheme in which his constituents
are interested and he is obliged to have
the help of the other members to get it
through. To get the help Of others he
is obliged to help them and thus "log-
rolling" combinations are formed and
lots of small sized 'pet lambs" taken
care of which In the aggregate amount
to larger sum. Economy is a fine
thing for the other fellow but each men,
Der does not like to have 1t applied to
his own little job in the interest of his
constituency. The same thing applies
to affairs in congress only in greater
degree and on an immensely larger scale.

j. l.. Butler Tells Of b Sale Of she
TOnapah Mines.
]. L. Butler, discoverer of the Tona-
pah mining district. in Nye county,
Nevada, which promises to eclipse
Cripple Greek, is at the st. Nicholas.
says the San Francisco Examiner.
On Monday he disposed of five loca-
tions made by himself and friends to
d. A. Turner of Grass Valley for 1885,
600. A cash payment of $4,000 was
made in the transfer Of the property.
On October l Q second payment OF
500, 900 is to be made and on Decem-
Der 20 the final payment is due. But
Ter has interests in many other claims
in the district, which he says are Just
as good a. the ones he sold. Those
associated with the d~iscoverer Of the
lodges are w. Brougher. 7. L. Oddie.
w. C. Gayhart and B. F. Higes.
"If l was . hog" said Butler 81
probably could have got 81 ,OOO. 900 for
the property, but an offer was made
me and my associates and it was good
enough to be accepted. We only did
three months work in developing the
property, and $780, 900 is good pay to
me for that much labor"
The mines are In the San Antonio
range of mountains. about sixty miles
from Sodsville, the nearest railway de-
pot. The ore, Butler says. is very
much like that taken from the Com
stock, 433 tons bringing q return from
the smelling works of $92.1l2. All
the lodges, he adds, are we'll defined
and in some places the groupings ex-
tend for nearly q thousand feet.
