LONGEST IN MAINE.
The New Building of the Castine Net
and Irvine Co.

The New Building of the Castine Net
and Irvine Co.
The Castine Line & Irvine, Co., OF Cas-
tine, has just moved into its new build
ing, and now has a plant with sufficient
facilities to meet its rapidly growing
business. The company is engaged in the
manufacture of cod mad msckerel lines,
and supplies many thousand pounds
every year to the fishermen of the New
Foundland Banks, besides doing a large
business along the coast OF Maine and the
Pacific coast. It also makes a specially
prepared gsnging.
Fifty years ago Castine was prosperous
shipping town. and this business was then
solely the manufacturing of cordage; but
when steamers began to take the place of
sailing vessels, the rope business dimin-
ished gradually and finally died out.
About twenty five years ago the late John
w. Dresser began the manufacturing of
cod lines, and built up large and pros
porous business, from which be retired
about two Years ago. e. III. Carpenter,
the present proprietor and manager, has
conducted 1t since.
The former plant was the old rope walk
building, and while it answered the pur-
pose for man ufscturing lines, 1t afforded
no opportunity for the alterations and
improvements Mr.. Carpenter was anxious
| to make.
| The new factory Is said to be the largest
single wooden building in Maine. 1t Is
900 feet long, with the main building
100xS5 1t is three stories high, with
large storeroom over the third floor; the
whole building is lighted by over $50 win
| dows. Some idea of its size can be
obtained when it is stated that more than
10000 feet of lumber and $4,000 shingles
we're used In its construction.
The plant is now fully equipped, and
with its new machinery, the company
can now douhie us former output. The
Dresser" tines, OF which this company
IS the sole manufacturer, are used all
along the shores OF Msine aud the Pro-
vipc~s, and are rapidly getting hold On
the Pacific coast.

enough to pay all Indebtedness except
the mortgage on the grounds.
Since the fair was located in Yankton
six years ago the local association has
seen Zach veal that all the claims
against the state board We're promptly
settled, but little bills accumulated
against the home board, and thew at
last reached the respectable sum of
about 81, 1000, with no available source
of revenue to a it from. In this con-
dition of affairs a winter carnival was
arranged for, with a highly successful
outcome.
The association is in the best pos
sible condition now to take up the
fair for the coming year, and that
event may safely be looked for as a
record breaker in the exposition and
amusement record Of the state. ,
Plans have been formulated and
many things are now under way that
are entirely new in the west and which
will make the South Dakota state fair
of 1902 the equal Of that Of any of her
