Up River Affairs.

Mr.. ( P. Vies, president of the
Dead River Log Driving Company,
returned from The Forks on Friday
last, where he had been looking after
! the construction of telephone line
from Sam Parsons place on Dead River
to The Forks. The line is the property
of the Dead River company, is about
80 miles long and is built for the use
and advantage of the company in the
log driving season, about two months
in the year. There are 9 stations on
the line besides the terminal stations,
at The Forks and at Parsons. There
are no inhabitants along the line, but
Joseph Viles' lumber camp is within
short distance of one of the stations
on Dead River and the proprietor may
utilize the line by stringing a wire to
his camp. This line is completed and
the instruments are in place at each
end of the line and the intermediate
stations will be supplied in due time.
Mr. Vlles while at The Forks after the
completion of the line, got Skowhegan,
via Dead River and held a conversation
with :. w. Philbrck, here.
Mr.. Viles informs us that a telephone
wire has been strung from The Forks
to the Outlet at Moosehead Lake but
the instruments have not yet been a.
tached. The distance between these
places is about the same as the other
| five intermediate stations on that line.
1t is owned by the Kennebec Log Driv-
ing company and its use will be largely
for the log driving purpose. Mr.. Viles
is somewhat apprehensive of injury to
the lumber business from the small
pox scare. 1t has been no easy matter for
umbermen to get full crews for their
logging operations and the appearance
of the dread disease in lumber camps
has had a dsquieting effect upon the
men but not to the extent that has been
reported. 1t is hoped that most of
the trouble is over and that no stampede
Will affect the lumber camps from this
cause.
The numbering season has been on the
whole rather unfavorable thus far
he warm wet weather has been hard
on teams and has had tendency to
retard yarding logs. A good sharp,
hard freeze would be a good thing to
help along the yarding process. Mr.
Viles has the impression that the un-
favorable season thus far, the small
pox incidents and the short crews of
men in many cases may have a ten
dency to curtail the cut of lumber on
the Kennebec waters this season. He
hardly expects it will reach the mil
lions of last year.

AT Washington.

The Secretary of War sent to the
attorney general the papers in the case
of Father Augustine who died from the
effects of water cure administered by
soldiers of a Vermont regiment while
serving in the Philippines. The case
has been investigated thoroughly and
it cannot be found that any person no "
serving in the United States army was
responsible in any way for the death of
the friar, aud therefore cannot be tried
by court martial.
Pres. Roosevelt left at 8 80 Saturday
morning for Philadelphia to attend the
the Founders day exercises in that
city. He was accompanied by Sec

was made in special train via the
Pennsylvania railroad. The President
returned to Washington the next morn
ing early.
Officials of the Colombian legation
express great satisfaction over the news
that a treaty of peace has been signed
with General Harrera. They feel that
this will bring about cessation of all
hostilities on the isthmus and terminate
a war which has ravaged Colombia for
several years. The government of
Colombo realizing the menace to its
interests which the presence of Genersl
Herrera and his army would be to
negotiations for the construction of a
Panama canal, put forth every effort
to bring about his capitulation.

1t is very doubtful which race first
skated for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
northern Europe indicating that the
art was practiced 10y primitive peoples.
The Eskimo of the farthest north are
also found to be in possession of run
ners carved from whaiebone.
Skating is mentioned by Danish
historian about 1874. and Fitzstephen
In his History of London" says that
In the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones of animals I'M
der their feet by means of thongs in
order to slide along the ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair of
bone skates of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is likely, however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
colnshire, where skates have been
used on the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.

She stood in the doorway, fair little
apparition, all flushed and rosy with
the November wind. while her blue
eyes sparkled as If they were twin
sapphires hidden away under her long,
dark lashes. She was neither blond nor
brunette, but fresh checked girl, with
nut brown hair, skin like the leaf of a
damask rose, straight refined nose
and lips as ripe as a red crabappie,
though by no means so sour. Generally
she had a demure sort of gravity lin
gering about her face, but when she
did laugh n dmple came out upon her
cheek and row of pearly teeth glim-
mered instantaneously.
In one hand she carried bunch of
