The Portland & Rumford Falls r. r.

greatest amount of this work will be
done at Mechanic Falls, where con-
siderable new track was laid last year.
This will relieve the congested condi-
ton of the yard at this point. AT

The Portland & Rumford Falls and
Rumford Falls & Rangeley Lakes rail
ways have used a vast amount of sand
for engine purpose the past year. They
have hauled five cars each containing
60 tons, total of 80 tons, from the
snore of Lake Anasagunticook in Can
ton. This they store in their round
house and as fast as needed dry it in
a device called a furnace or receiver.
A large round vessel is placed over and
arc und a coal firebox where the damp
sand is shoveled in, AS fast as it be-

use of the common coal bod using
about barrel at d time. There are
two sand pipes which run down on
either side of the drive wheel where
the sand is conveyed to the rail. There
are two traps or small chambers, one
in each pipe, where by pressure of
steam the required quantity of dry
sand is blown up from the reserve box,
and is quickly deposited on the track.
The engineer has small valve at his
command by which he regulates the
amount used, and a certain kissing or
curious sound tells him of the amount
being conveyed to the irons.

The people of Jonesboro are rejoicing
over the opening of q stone quarry al
that place. A few years ago that town
ranked as one of the principal granite
towns in this part of Maine. large
number of quarries were operated there
and almost every kind of stone was
quarried there. Many quarrles were
used exclusively for paving, while IN
others building and monumental stone
was cut. But when the great depres-
sion in the paving market came, hail
a dozen years ago, the paving quarrles
were obliged to shut down and Vari-
ETY. of circumstances united to brlnG
about q like condition in the other
quarries. Several weeks ago Cyrus
Stackpole of Bangor visited Jonesboro
and there did some prospecting at
Horse Back mountain with view to
opening a quarry there. The satisfac-
tory results accomplished by the pros
pecting crews has resulted in a larger
crew being employed there and work
of opening UP the quarry is now being
pushed along with rapidity. The open
ing that is being made is within loo
yards of the Washington County rail-
road. This advantage together with
natural advantages of the place Tor
opening a quarry there at a'small ex-
pense is expected to result in a large
business being built up at that place.

Winslow Martin, who represented
ward Z in the city council, died at his
home in Red Beach at an early hour
Monday morning. Three weeks ago
Mr.. Martin contracted a heavy cold,
and in spite of the circumstances of
his friends he persisted in driving to
this city to attend the organization of
the city board to which he was elect
ed on April 6. The drive to and from
the city aggravated the disorder with
which he was suffering and later in
the week pneumonia developed. The
best medical skill of the border failed
to overcome the disease and on Monday
morning at l o'clock he passed away
He was a member of Calais Lodge and
c. H. Porter Company, Knights of
Pythias, and Makwamkesk tribe of
Red Men, by whom he is sincerely
mourned. The funeral which took
place Tuesday afternoon was con-
Quoted by the Knights of Pythias and
was attended by the city government
and officials. Mr. Martin for a number
of years was engaged in business at
Red Beach, but of late was employed
by the Maine Red Granite Company.
