George A. Merrill formerly of Searsport
Vice President of the Company.

under laws of Maine, at the office of John S.
Harlow, Esq, Dixfeld, Maine, March 3oth,
1904, TO carry on general manufacturing
business of wooden articles with Maurice
W. Forster, Presid ent; John S. Harlow,
treasurer George L. Merrill, vice-president
and clerk; John S. Harlow, George L.
Merrill and Maurice w. Forster, directors
The building of large factory for the
manufacture of tooth picks, will be COM
menced the first of May, the main mill
building, to be of wood, with mill construc-
ton, covered with steel bricks, and asbestos
roof, making it fire. proof outside, and slow
burning inside, in which will be located the
machinery necessary for manufacturing the
tooth picks. The boiler and engine house
will be of brick, with fire proof corrugated
steel roof, supported on steel truSSes, and
steel beam purlnes, making its destruction
by fire almost impossible. In this building
will be located the $50 horse power auto
matte engine, and 200 horse power high
pressure steam boiler capacity. The fit
tngs OF these buildings will be complete
IN every detail for the manufacture of tooth
picks economically, some of the machinery
The plant will later be equipped with auto
matte Sprinklers and fire pump as a further
protection from fire.
Mr.. Merrill vice president, has been a
successful spool manufacturer for long
time, having been connected as manager
and owner of spool mills at various places
throughout the State for over forty years,
until two years ago, when he retired from
active business, retaining an interest in the
spool and novelty mill at Bethel, and look
ing after the operation of hard wood lum-
Der lands in which he is interested. Dur
ing his connection with the spool business,
Mr.. Merrill has invented and perfected
many appliances for improving and cheap
ening the manufacture of spools, much of
the machinery now in use being the result
of his superior inventive genius
Mr.. Harlow, treasurer, besides having an
extensive law practice, has carried on the
manufacture of spools at Dixfield for long
time, until last September, when his factory
was destroyed by fire. Mr.. Harlow is also
a large owner OF hard and soft wood tim
Der lands, has always carried on extensive
numbering operations, and today is one of
the largest individual owners OF birch lum-
Der land in the State. 1t is estimated that
his holdings alone would last this factory
at least twenty years.
Mr.. Forster, president, has been con-
nected with the toothpick mills at Strong
and Dixfeld as manager for fifteen years,
up to the first of January, when he severed
his connection with them, and associated
with this company with IL view of building
new toothpick factory. Mr.: Forster's
was the originator Of machine made tooth
picks, having invented and commenced
their manufacture by machinery at Boston
in small way in the early sixty's, which
business grew to quite large proportions at
the time of his death, three years ago.

A BELFAST BOYS HOME In DENVER

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Denver has the reputation of having
more beautiful homes than any city Of
its size in the Union. This is due to
the fact that its inhabitants are COM
posed of the wealthy miners of the en-
tire State, who make Denver their
home instead of having their families
with them at the mines. Denver has
also become the residence of wealthy
cattle men from all parts of the West,
who have built very handsome and
some very expensive houses.
The Rocky Mountain News of April
9th gave its readers an illustration of
one of the pretty, new Denver houses
recently completed, and as it will be of
interest to your readers, they kindly
loaned you the cut. 1t is the residence
of one of Belfast's successful boys-Al.
Condor. 1t is built of light pressed
brick. very plain in finish but rich and
handsome in appearance. The steps
and veranda are of brick and granite,
and the doors of mahogany with full
plate glass. Inside it is one of the
most complete, home-like residences in
the city, containing everything from
cellar to attic to make an ideal home.
Mr.. Condor selected one of the best
locations in the city. Humboldt being
one of the best streets, and built up
with expensive houses on both sides.
The house faces west, and the back
windows, looking upon Congress Park,
where he gets an unbroken view, makes
the back of the property as beautiful

as the front, and always gives shady,
pleasant place to enjoy the Colorado
air.
This is what is called in Denver one
of the medium cost houses. The house
and lots are valued at $1,000, and
while there are probably hundred
houses costing from $4,000 to $4,000,
and some even more expensive than
that, there are none more comfortable
or much pleasanter than Mr.. Condon's
home.
At present Denver is having build
ing boom and it is almost an impossi-
bility to find street that has not new
building in the course of construction.
Houses, stores, hotels, family hotels
and apartment houses are going up in
all sections, giving the city very pros
porous appearance.
The climate of Denver makes it
specially desirable as a place of resi-
dence. While the east has been having
her billiards. and the country has been
frozen up and covered with snow, we
have been enjoying bright, warm,
sunny days. Automobiles and bicycles
have been in use almost every day dur
ing the winter. Many of the pleasant
features of a tropical climate, without
the hot, disagreeable summer that
makes southern homes undesirable,
make Colorado an ideal allthe-year
place of residence.
Yours truly,
F. w. Angler.

The Time is Short.

And soon with me the labor will be
wrought,
Then grows my heart to other hearts

Up, up, my soul, the long-spent time re-
deeming,
Sow thou the seeds of better deed and

Lig hit other lamps yet thy light is beam

By all the lapses thou hast been forgiven,
By all the lessons prayer to thee hath
taught,
To others teach the sympathetic heaven,
