fifty houses of modern, convenient, and
comfortable structure, for the opera

and attractive village. All OF these
houses are practically completed and
some of them occupied and will be
ready for the operatives when the mill
is ready to begin work. The village Is
situated on gently sloping hillside,
which will give a good drainage,
and the houses are 30 situated as to
allow a good front and back yard to
each family.
It has been the custom for the mills
in this part Of the State to provide fol-
the education of the children of its op
eratives, and the old mill has modern
brick school house which will compare
favorably with almost any school house
in town in this State. It is also useC

number of municipal courts. To this end
it is said, the legislature will be asked to
establish courts in Eastport, Machias and
Cherryfield. which will in addition to
that already in Calais make four such

FIRE AT RumFoRD FALLS.

A loss of $4,000 was caused by a fire
in the wood conveyor in the sulphite
digester room of the Oxford Paper Mills,
Saturday night, and what at first threat
ened to be an extensive confagration
was confined to single department.
The loss is fully covered by insurance.
The fire was probably caused by friction
of an endless belt that carried chips
from the woodworking shop to the chip
bin at the top of the central building Of
the plant, 1877 feet from the ground.
The Oxford mills are the largest
writing and book paper mills in Maine
and have the contract for making postal
card paper for the United States govern
ment. None of the paper stock or
finished product was destroyed, but the
fire may cause shutdown of tho mills
for three or four days, temporarily
throwing about 800 hands out of en-
ployment. The spread of the flames was
prevented by excellent work of the new
town hydrant system and of the extin-
guisher system with which the mills are
provided.

1t is hardly necessary to say that the
people of Paris are glad to see these
preparations for permanent industry of
this magnitude in town. Already the
houses in that vicinity, some of which
have been vacant for years, are all occu-
pied, and some of them are being re-
paired and improved. With the devel-
opment of the manufacturing there, it
NAV be expected that ere long there will
be a busy little village there, with mill
running day and night, electric lights
glowing throughout the twenty-four
hours, and tons of new product, de-
yeloped from former waste substance,
shipped away daily.
