The new smoked herring industry
of T. w. Beardsley & Co., New York,
which has been in operation in East
port in the Martin factory during
the winter and spring, under the man
agement of j. C. Potter, closed for the
season last week, having put up for the
market during the time in operation
some four hundred tons of herring. The
business gave employment to a large
number of residents, male and female,
and was indeed a boom, filling in ad-
mirably the long space Intervening be-
tween the closing and opening of the
sardine canning factories. 1t is expect
ed that the business will be resumed the
coming winter.
1t is the scene of a busy place at the
Katahdin Pulp & Paper Co.'S mills at
Lincoln, owing to their erecting new
buildings in addition to their usual
business. AT the pulp mill they have in
construction a very large fuel house
AZ feet by 81 feet, and 80 feet high. At
the sawmill they are preparing for the
erection Immediately q kiln drying
house for clapboards and other lumber
The building is to be about 1876 feet
long, 60 feet wide at one end, and so
feet high. with the erection of these
feet at the other end and about 90
buildings it means employment for
about Is or 20 more men, which GER
tainly will be another boom to our
town. which is going ahead at a rapid
rate.

INDIANS IN DIVORCE COURT.
The South Dakota Red Men Think It's
a Great institution.

Forbidden by the Indian bureau to
use red paint or to wear gaudy blan-
kets the Indians Of South Dakota have
accepted one of the tenets of ciViliza-
ton with much joy. 1t is the divorce
They believe now this is the only good
law the white man ever made, and so
heartily are they entering into the
spirit of obtaining divorces that if the
present increase continues more di-
vorces will be granted to Indians than
to whites.
Without respect for any of the orders
of the Indian agent or the laws of the
United States, the Indian has become
convinced that the divorce court was
inaugurated in order that he might
have as many wives as he wishes.
Oacoma is the divorce paradise for thu
Indians. In the last year more than
sixteen applications have been filed,
while year ago an Indian divorc
was unheard of.

and incompatibility of temper"
The government officials and mis-
sIonarleS have demanded that the In
dams marry according 70 the laws OF
the State. The Indians protested that
tribal marriages We're all right, but the
government insisted, and the Indians
learned the divorce attachment to
South Dakota laws. Now they will be
married in no other way. 1t is the

WASHINGTON, July 1.-For some

of production is kept up there will
be produced this year between four
