Skowhegan Mems Club.

The Skowhegan Mems Club held a
meeting, Friday evening, at which Off.
GERS were elected for the ensuing year as
follows:
L. L. Walton, ESQ.,, president; Lewis
Anderson, vice president; ID. w. Colby,
secretary; Il. A. Dinsmore, treasurer
r. t. Patten, Rev. II. w. Kimbal, j.
Wallace Blunt, William II. Fuller and
Fred F. Lawrence, council.
D. W. Colby, superintendent of schools
and Instructor in chemistry in the high
school, spoke upon the subject of photo
graphy, combining his remarks to its APP
plication to modern methods of illustra
ton. Supplementing his remarks by
blackboard Illustrations and numerous
pictures of various kinds, he graphically
described the various processes used in
newspaper and magazine illustrating,
and called especial attention to the half
tone photogravure, and the carbon pro
cess.
American Bridge Company, who kindly
consented TO come before the club when
ever they might discuss the advisability
of building new bridge across the Ken.
nebec, or of replacing the old ones, ad-
dressed the club. He was unprepared.
to give any close estimates, owing to the
uncertainty as to what would be requir.
ed. There seems TO be too small space
at the present location of the north
bridge to put in a wide span such as
would be most fitting to accommodate
the traffic, without moving the bridge OF
the water company, which carries their
pipes. Estimating roughly, he placed
the cost of this bridge at $4,000, the
bridge across the south channel at from
$l5, 900 to 1000, and the one at the
foot of Kcnnebec street at ST., 900 IL the
town should conclude to build one there
these figures to cover all masonry and
cost of erection. He volunteered to make
accurate measurements and give correct
CeIlIbdIts vi ehCu Oue Ut hi OF Lu6Se
bridges, if an article should be placed in
the warrant for the annual meeting. A
single span would be practicable for the
proposed bridge across the river at the
foot of Kenebec street and it would be
advisable to make the bridge across
North Channel to accommodate the water
pipes if arrangements can be made with
the water company.
The next meeting of the club
will be held Jan. 10, and the topic for
discussion will be the report of the town
government committee.
The committee on banquet announced
the arrangements for the supper, to be
held at Hotel Heselton, Friday evening,
the 9th instant. Full authority was CIV
en- the committee to draw upon club
funds for the expenses of the occasion.

Maine Farmer 1t Is said that the beef
trustgained control of the turkey supply
for this holiday season and New Workers
are forced to pay 20 to % cents per
pound for the birds, which is a consider
able rise. Such is the power of the
trust even when hundreds of thousands
of pounds of cold storage turkeys are
in the city awaiting sale. On the other
hand word comes from Chicago that an
appreciable drop in the price of meats
has taken place, the difference being two
cents per pound on sirloin steak, 6 cents
on roasts, and 3 cents on pork. Lard
and other provisions are 10 per cent
cheaper.

Portland Press Nobody is wonder
ing what will be the sheriff7s policy in
regard to larceny or burglary or assault
and battery. 1t is only his policy
toward rumsellers that excites public

in Maine are in 1903 to be enforced more
rigdly than ever before.-Fhe judges as

Dun's Review: Despite the Interrupt
ton of holiday, taking of inventore,
of annual reports and all the
other disturbing elements incidental to
the closing of the old year and Inaugural
tion of the new, the past week has been
far from dull. Consumers were not per.
ceptibly lessening purchases while the
approach Of higher freight rates acceler.
ated shipments of goods. Transporting
facilities continue utterly made quate, the
pressing need for fuel diverting rolling
stock from other classes of freight. At
few fortunate points the supply of coal
has increased, but generally the deliver
les are only small fraction of the guam
tity desired. New wage scales have be-
come effective largely enhancing the
purchasing power of the people which
must be reflected in an increased demand
for commodities. The new year opens
with every prospect of exceptional activ-
ity in all branches of business. Railway
earnings thus far available for December
show gain of II per cent over 1901.

Notwithstanding the widely heralded

They intimate that Mr.. Msrconi spent a

successful. General Greedy, when seen
on the subject said, "The mere transmits

Gentry Bros Show Delight
ed Two Large Audiences
Here Yesterday.
REMARKABLE EXHIBITION OF
ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Several Different Numbers
Seem ed to Verge on the
Marvellous.

Gentry Brothers dog and pony
show delighted two large audi
ences in Bemidji yesterday. To
one who had never seen the
results of Gentry Brothers work,
the different mum bers in the ex-
hibitions seemed to verge on the
marvellous. 1t could hardly be
believed that animals could be
trained to exhibit such evidences
of intelligence. The old time be-
lief that animals have no reason
ing power was shattered IN the
minds of many.
The show began with a tableau
given by the ponies, 5Oin num-
Der, representing the different
nations Of the world. This
proved a fitting precursor OF
what was to follow, and by 1t the
little performers got the sym
pathy of the audience, which
they and their dog friends re-
tanned to the end.
The military drill was another
remarkable exhibition Of animal
intelligence. Some of the move.
ments were difficult and We're
executed with amazing skill. The
performance Of the dogs elected
much applause. The elephants,
too. seemed to come under the
spell of the trainer and per
formed several difficult feats.
Gentry Bros. will pay an annual
visit to Bemidji hereafter, and
they are sure to meet with a
hearty welcome on each occasion.

PRAIRIE FIRES BEGIN.
South Dakota Has Ono Experience Al
ready with the Flames.


Sioux Falls S. D., Aug. 6.-So rank
is the srowth of all kinds of vegetation
throughout South Dakota this season
that disastrous prairie fires will result
this fall unless extraordinary precau-
tions are taken The first fire of this
character this season occurred near
Blunt, and was caused by the appar-
emily trivial act of a farmer engaged
in haying lighting his pipe and throw
ing the match on the dry grass. Aided
by fierce wind the flames covered an
area of nine miles long and two miles
wide before they were extinguished by
the scores of men and boys who we're
comyel1ed to turn out and fight the
fire. Hay and other property worth
several thousand dollars was de-
stroyed as result of the fire.
