Maine did nobly. Waldo county is

gave the Republicans plurality of
u, 600 to | 900 in the State, against an
average for the past twenty years of
about l.. 600. But Maine has done bet
ter than that this year. Despite the
split in the party ranks in Cumberland
and Knox counties over sheriff, and
minor dissensions elsewhere, the Re
publican plurality is 26,000. This result
is somewhat surprising in view of the
fact that General Apathy was assumed

Concerning Local Industries.

| The shoe factory is now turning out 1880
pairs day, with plenty of work on hand
and in prospect. The basement is to be
utilized for the lasters, and it is predicted
that in the near future the factory will be
turning out $500 pairs of shoes day.
! Selwyn Thompson of this city has leased
the two upper floors of the COLISEUM build
ing on Main street, and on October LIST will
! begin the manufacturing of mems working
clothing Mr.. Thompson will begin with
| some 30 machines run with electric power
and will have associated with him as fore
man, Mr. Miles s. Jel1ison, who has been
connected with the business for many years.
| There is a good prospect that the Port
land Packing Company will establish a corn
canning factory in this city. Members of
| the company have been here looking the
ground over, and Mr.. Rolfe manager of the
factory in Unity, has made three visits here.
He says the company ask no favors, do not
expect to be given a lot, or rent, or to have
their taxes abated. All they ask is chance
to do business 1t rests with the farmers to
| make the undertaking success. Sheriff
Norton says that corn canning factory
| will work in well with the creamery, as the
corn fodder will be available for cattle about
the time the pastures are drying up.
THE BRICK BUSINESS. Paris L. Strout
East Belfast on account of his clay bank
becoming exhausted. This was the last
brick kiln in Belfast, and we are now with
out that industry. He has on hand a few
thousand brick made last season. In years
past there were several brick kilnS in Bel
fast, but as the clay banks become exhaust
ed they We're abandoned. There are, how
ever, number of valuable clay deposits in
town, any one of which would seem to offer
a good opening for re-estabishing the in
dustry. On the Shute farm, adjoining Mr..
Strout's on the north, is a deposit Is feet
deep and covering y acres, with good ia
| cilitieS for shipping by water. The kaler
bank is also large one, near tide water and
with d good mill dam for power. The pres
ent occupant, Mr.. Geo O, Holmes, is think
ing of putting in brick machinery. There
are doubtless other privileges which could
be used for the business The business
need not be confined to the local market but
with the increasing demand for building
materials at the summer resorts all along
the coast would seem to offer promising
field for both labor ami capital.
