Take hold and lift" is the advice of
Mayor Boothhy to the Portland Repub-
licans for the coming campaign. and 1t
is his motto for the citizens of Port

he does the city would move ahead
much faster.
There will be a general and generous
response by the Free Masons of Maine
to the call for contributions for the Jo-
siah Hayden Drummond memorial
fund. Mr.. Drummond was not only
one of the most prominent members OF
| the Masonic fraternity in ths WorlI.
but he had particularly endeared HIM
self to the members of the craft in his
own state. They will consider it both a
privilege and a pleasure to have a part
| in erecting to his memory memorial
that shall remind future generations Of
Maine Free Masons of the distin-

| The leading Maine newspapers have
published extended and laconic ac-
counts of the Bowdoin- Bates football
game which was played on Whittier

doinham farmer who on that day wit

The youngest of our many Maine
summer resorts is Rowsic park. situat-
| ed on the lower end of Arrowsic, OPP
posite Phippsburg Center. Boston par
ties purchased Is acres here. year
ago. and laid it out and about 100 lots
have already been sold. Last week
queries were received at Bath as to the
best place for securing lumber and the
names of local contractors who would
submit bids for building from 30 to 10
summer cottages there in the early
spring. The resort is on the direct
route of the Boston steamers and a
| wharf will be built in the early spring.
1t is one Of the finest locations for a
summer resort along the kennebec
river and it is wonder that the prop
erty was not developed years ago.
| Since Asa Fowles, a Bath lobster
man. disappeared. last summer, there
has been much skepticism regarding
his alleged drowning in the Kennebec.
Even when a body was found in the
river. several weeks later. and identi-
| fled and buried as the remains of Asa
Fowles. there were many who were not
satisfied. The condition of the body
was such that 1t was only recognized
by. the clothing and the identification Of
that was not complete. Now comes ST.
las Damon. friend and partner of
Fowles. who says he has seen FOwles
in Boston. where he is living under an
other name and talked with him. The
Bath Times believes Damon's story and
says that a motive fer the disappear
ance of. Fowles can be found in the
short lobster cases which were hang
ing over his head at the time of his 81
legged death. He was a shrewd man
and quite capable of conceiving and
carrying out such a plan as making the
world believe that he was dead and
starting over again under another
name. If this theory is adopted, how
ever. the question arises. whose body
was it that was found in the vicinity
where FOwles was supposed to have
been drowned? How did it come in that
vicinity where no one save Fowles has
