Concerning Local Industries.

The supply of cream brought to the Gerry
Creamery in Belfast is larger than ever be-
fore at this season. The weather this fall
has been very favorable for dairy farmers.
Work has begun on an extension at the
rear of the Mathews Bros. mill, to give the
business. 1t will be continuation of the
part built over the driveway and will ex-
tend to the southeast corner of the mill,
leaving driveway underneath.
Our imports last week included a cargo of
lumber per schooner Vandalia from the
Pendleton mill in Islesboro The Pendle-
ton Bros. bought all the logs which the
freShet of two years ago brought down
river and landed on the shores of Islesboro,
and later set up steam saw mill to manu-
facture them.
Our local boatbuilders are kept busy haul
ing out and repairing yachts and boats.
Macomber is building an auxiliary dory and
yawl boat for the new Pendeton schooner,
and has an order for gasoline launch for
inland waters. 1t is reported that L. NJ.
CottrelI is to build a 65-foot launch this
winter and that he will put up another shop
in which to do the work.
George A. Gilchrest returned last week
from Washington, d. c., where the bids
were opened for new dredger. Mr.. Gill
chrest was the lowest bidder, but all the
bids were in excess of the amount appro-
priated. 1t is hoped, however, that matters
may be arranged so that the dredger can be
built here. MIR. Gilchrest has large f.
master coming here for quite extensive re-
pairs and has had dolphin put down just
above the steamboat wharf to be used as a
mooring while the vessel is in the dock. An
additional dolphin has also been put down
off the marine railway.

LETTER TO L. F. MCDONALD.
BELFAST. MAINE.

BELFAST. MAINE.
Dear Sir; Messrs. Leachman & Edelin,,
Grafton, w. Va, had been selling a paint,
which they thought we'll Of; and this had
occurred.
They had sold customer 18 gallons of
it to paint his house. A few years later,
they sold the same man DevOe lead-and-zinc
the same number Of gallons to paint the
same house. He had gallons left.
The point of the tale is: II gallons DevOe
paint an 18- gallon house.
OF course that isn't all.
Why does II gallons Devoe go as far as 18
gallons of other paint? Because it is all
paint, all true, no sham, and full measure
But that isn't all. DevOe lasts longer.
No, no; you haven't got to wait ten years
to find that out. Ten thousand people
know it. We've got their names. Our agents
know them they think a heap of Devoe.
There's no difficulty in showing your towns
people what to expect of Devoe. $40 will
paint $15 house; and the paints will last
twice as long.
Yours truly

the Head of the Tide about midnight Mon
day destroyed an unoccupied barn and
house owned by George o. Flanders, and a
building occupied by Edwin Mitchell as
general store and post Office. The fire start
ed in the barn on the Flanders place and
was first see n by members OF the Thurston
family, who live near by and who spread
the alarm. Mr.. H. B. Ladd, who arrived
on the scene about midnight, says the Flan-
ders barn was then in flames. He got two
ladders at the church and the ringing of the
church bell had then brought people to the
spot with pals. A shed between the Flan-
ders buildings and the Thurston house was
in flames, endangering the latter. but this
was put out, and by wetting the roof and
the use of hand pumps the Thurston house
was saved. The Flanders house burned
very rapidly, like so much paper, and soon
was but heap of smoking ruins. Mean
while the Mitchell store not ten feet dis
tant was in danger and two men got on the
roof and tried to save it. All efforts were
in vain, however, but the contents were
saved. Sparks were now falling on the
roof of Mrs. Gays house and that was wet
down. Fortunately the wind was light or
the fire would have been even more disas-
trous. Seaside Hose Company arrived from
Belfast when the store was burning the
fercest, and Washington Hose Company
came little later. The alarm was not
sounded in Belfast until 12.45 a. m. The
Flanders buildings were not insured, and
Mr.. Mitchell had no insurance on his store

Nearly all the union labor organizations
of the city have prescribed penalties
against members OF tho unions Iidins or
cars manned by non-unlon men during
the tendency of the strike. The amount OF
the fines ranges from s. to 81. 1t Is pro-
posed to give tho sum thus derived TO the
striking car men.
A large number OF the strikers. nearly
all those recently employed On the Holly
wood lakewood and Clay Straet lines,
called at the Offices of the Virginia Pas
senger and Power Company yesterday
and received their pay, this being the
regular pay day for men employed on
those fines. Those who have been en-
ployed on the other lines will receive their
pay on the regular days therefor. Tht

troversy, and this they declined to do.
believing that 1T will DO useless. Instead
of this they suggest arbitration on u all
ferent matter entirely. and here, 1t Is
feared, tho union will kick out.
The Plan Adopted.
The final outcome of the meeting was
tho appointment of committee com
posed OF Rev. M. Ashby Jones, Rev. w.
A. Cooper and Rev. John Harmon, d. D.,
to draw up a paper. to be submitted 10 an
adjourned meeting OF the pastors present.
to be held this afternoon at 8 o'clock. ut
the y. NJ. G. A, This paper, after It's
adoption, will be sent to either side IN the
present controversy, the company ana
the men, and will approach the subject
of settlement in an entirely different
way from anything yet suggested. 1t VIII WI,
be designed to open UP a way for niti-
mate adjustment OF the whole matter.
Tho communication from the pastors
will ask for committee Of arbitration.
and the function OF this committee Will
be to arbitrate one point. and one only.
the time limit set for the expiration OF
the last contract between the strikers
and tho company. If the committee de-
eide that the, contract was Intended 70
extend for one year. then the men are 10
II the committee, on the other hand, de-
eide III favor OF tho strikers, then the
company is to give In. Such, so FAR as
can be gathered, Is the proposition 10 pc
made. Whether or not 1t Will accom-
plish any results 1t Is difficult to say but
ut least come of the pastors are scarcely
hopeful about it. The attitude of Mr..
Grlggs and Mr.. Orr yesterday was judged
sufIlclent by many to indicate that the
men will not accept the proposed plan.
Wouldn't Act as Body.
The UNCONVENTIONAL meetings OF the pas
tors yesterday took no action whatsoever
in reference to the strike. Considerable
of discussion developed over the propo-
sition,, when It came UP before the Bap-
list ministers, OH a movement TO nave
the body take some action. Various ana
sundry expressions were made, finally
concluding with the flat refusal or the
conference to take any action as BODY.
or even 10 send committee TO general
meeting of the city pastors. 1t was held
that such members as decided to do so
might attend as individuals. which plan
a number Of them adopted. An equally

A Pure Food Drink Has Great Sustain

The sustaining power of Postum Coffee
when properly cooked Is greater than
most people imagine, and 1t is well illus
trated in tho story told by a young Texas
woman, who says; II almost lived on
Postum Cereal Coffee for over month
and there was over a week | did not
eat anything at all but Just drank. the
food drink Postum, and yet ! grew
stronger and gained weight.
Our family physician examined Pos
tum and decided TO use It altogether In
place of coffee. We all think 1t has no
equal as n nourishment for the sick, for
beside being pleasant to the taste II is so
strengthening, My father and mother
have always been coffee drinkers and
suffered all kinds of trouble from the
coffee until about a year ago a neigh
Dor was praising Postum and mother
decided to- try IT.
They improved at once and have
drank Postum ever since and mother
who used TO be bothered with nervous
moss and slceplessiless particularly, is in
splendid health NOW, She says the
change came entirely from drinking Pos,
