BLOWN TO SEA.
Remarkable Experience of Mrs. Clara
Carter in Open Boat.

SWANS ISLAND, Aug. (~pecia IA
most extraordinary Incident, news OF
which reaches here by way OF Long Is
land. is the rescue OF Mrs. Clara Carter III
II dory after Sue had been out to sea for
more than Two days.
The rescued woman tells the following
story: Mrs. Carter lives with her husband
on Monroe's Island, near OwPs Head.
Her husband was rigging up trawl, ana
wanting more hooks aud skein OF gang
ing, she took the dory Saturday afternoon
TO row across to the mainland to get
them.
Although the wind was blowing fresh
Iy, she could, from long experience,
handle dory as well as man, but before
reaching the shore one of her oars broke.
The tide was running out to sea, ana all
her efforts to scuil with the one oar were
unavatliDg
she drifted only short way from the
island, passed it, out into the open sea
and mig Int, dark and thick, shutting down,
all her cries for nelp were unheard. She
became hystericai, and dense log en-
yeloped her The sea was rising with the
wind aid she was drifting into darkness.
During tue night two fishing vessels
cries. so probably did not hear her. All
day Sunday she drifted farther away from
land, no vessels in view.
Sunday the terrific squall made the sea
one sheet OF foam. She lay down In the
bottom of the boat, and gave up all hope.
Monday brought on the oh-shore gaze,
which blew her seventy-fVe miles from
where she started, thirty miles east oil
Mt. Desert Rock. All this time she was
wit hout food or water.
Capt. William Malonsen, In the mack,
erel seiner "Hazel Oneta" left Long Island
harbor Monday. On Tuesday morning ne
saw dory adrift. He ran down, and 70
| his utter amazement saw woman lying
| in the bottom OF the boat.
| With her appraised hand feebly waving,
| thew took her on board, drenched ano
cold and delirious from having drank SAT-
water to quench her great thirst. Ihey
| gave her warm drinks, wrapped ner In
| blankets, and returned as quickly as
possible to Long Island, where she is at
the present time.
Mrs. Carter Is strong, muscular
woman, forty-eight years old, USED TO
hard work and exposure, or she never
would have survived her terrible expe-
rience.
She is being kindly cared for by the
people OF Long Island, and except for the
swelling OF her feet, hands and face, she
is as comforta Bile as could be expected.

A NEW SHIPYARD?
Talk of Building Yard and Marine
Railway at Sullivan.

new ship repair yard and marine rail-
way IN Frenchman's bay are probabilities
of the near future.
AT the very head OF the bay, just above
the Sullivan steam boat hart, is a splendid
location for Bleaching and repairing vessels
of all kinds. Work of this kind has In
small way, been done here for years.
With the growth OF shipping In and out
OF the bay, 1t has been considered advis-
able Tor long time to have something OF
the kind here.
Before the death OF Frank Jones there
was talk of such yard at Sorrento, but
with the change OF affairs there it has led
local capital to consider the proposition
here.
The shore and beach here offer unex-
cell advantages for conducting the work
on the hull or above deck.
There is splendid protected harbor and
circular beach giving more than ample
yard room for several marine railways OF
different sizes. Dunbar Brothers, tho.-
ough business men, DO in granite and
lumber. own and control most OF this
desirab BILE property. They now have big
coal-shed and dock here.

BIG GRANITE CONTRACT.
North Sullivan and Franklin to Sup
ply Washington with Curbino.
Adjourned.

North Sullivan and Franklin to Sup
ply Washington with CURLING.
The granite Dealers protective associa-
tion gives out the news that it has landed
the big contract of 5000 lineal feet of
curbing for Washington, D. G.
This job has gone South for several years
past Considerable business jockeying has
been done to get this job back to Maine,
although past contracts filled here have
given entire satisfaction.
Tue usual grade of curbing here has
been cut for 15c. foot, while this job
calls for 25c. or 2Sc., so that this job is
nearly as good as twice as much of the
common curbing.
There is employment in this job alone
for 800 workmen for six months, and with
the other big contracts for cut stone on
hand, there will be work here for a hum
bred more men.
This job means $21 600 in wages for the
stone-cutters a bout SO 900 for the quarry
men, about q 800 for the teamsters, $1,000
for the long shoremen, and 81 900 freight
to vessel-owners.
In round figures it may be said that this
contract will bring about S45 600 into Sui
Ivan and Franklin within year. or, say,
about Is, 900 a month for six months.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
A Cool Head,

Had it not been for the cool head
and quick action of A. A. Cunfeld
last night two children belonging, to
Mrs. j. C. Wendell, residing in Mime
apolis, would have probably been
burned.
Mrs. Mary. Wiseman, who occupies
the second floor of the fiat, was at
tending to some household duties and
upon nearing a closet in the front
part Of the house detected the smell
OF smoke. She Immediately began
Investigating and upon opening the
closet door was nearly suffocated by
a large volume of smoke which. rolled
out. She Immediately gave the alarm,
but in a very short time the flames
had eaten their way through the CELL
ing and into the apartments of Mrs.
Wendell. Mrs. Wendell had gone out
for the evening and after putting her
two children to bed locked the door
behind her.
Cunfield, who by this time learned
of the fire, inquired as to the occu-
pants of the third floor, and upon re-
ceiving no satisfactory reply started
to Investigate. Hearing the children
within and finding the door locked
he kicked it in, and after cropping
around in the dense smoke for time
succeeded in finding the children and
carried them to the open air.

Commanche county could find
something better suited to repre-
sent what is greatest and best in
the community. The blanket In
dian does not represent either the
Indian or conditions in this coun-

a curiosity, The Indian as a class
is a civilized, industrious, respect

lect bis worst type as a represen-
tative Of either himself, or his
great progressive country. Let
us cut out the blanket Indian
as q type of citizenship and stop
giving people living elsewhere
wrong impression. He has served
his purpose and should be relegat
ed TO the rear.
