Owing to the rapidly increasing bust

proprietor, is contemplating building
a new packing house. If erected the

the month of February $4,000. The

\ new industry which gives employ
ment to a large number of women and
girls is that now being carried on at
Eastport by James A. Calder, who is
packing large quantities of homeless
smoked behring's which find u ready
sale in the large cities of the country.
In former years the herring were
smoked at PASSPORT and shipped in
boxes to New York where the fish were
boned and packed in attractive cases,
but of late several persons have placed
upon the markets smoked fish put up in
glass Jars; although the enterprise was
not carried on in any large scale until
the possibilities of the scheme induced
Mr.. Calder to try his fortune in this
line. The demand for his goods has
steadily increased from the start, until
at present there are from rs to 100 girls
|
alone The fish are cleaned, the bones
removed and then packed in cans, the
size of those used for oil sardines. They
are shipped to the big markets in large
quantities and are greatly in demand.
There is said to be more money in put
ting the fish up in this way than I'M
der the old way of simply smoking
them and shipping them whole, and in
addition thereto Eastpmt is greatly
benefited by the employment of a large
force of hands at a season of the year
during which there is absolutely moth
| ing else for these people to do. This
keeps home many who migrate to the
larger cities during the winter months
in search of work, and is a great help
to the merchants during the dull sea-
son when cash is scarce. A carload of
fish was shipped west on Thursday
and business is brisk at the factory on
Sea street.

BIG BATTLE RAGING
TERRIFIC ARTILLERY DUEL BE-
TWEEN JAps AND RUSSIANS
Russians Driven Back the r'rs' o'''
But Were the Assressors In the
Second Days Fight.

Advices from Mukdcn, under date VI
October IL, state that at that time a
bloody battle was raging about s'A
miles north of Yentai railroad station
The Japanese on Sunday fell pach
along the whole front, and the Russian
advance guards crossed the Schiil
river, about half way between Muk'
den and Lao Yang, and came WITHIN
three miles of Yentai, but on Monday
the Japanese received strong rein
forcements of infantry and artillery
and not only held their positions, but
even assumed the offensive.
The fighting lasted the entire day
and night. The Japanese directed
their artillery fire with great skill, and
searched the Russian positions Sc
fercely that the Russians fell back
north of the Scnili river, which crosses
the railroad seven miles from Yentai.
The Russians on Tuesday morning
resumed their advance once more,
crossed the Schili river and engaged
the Japanese two miles south of 1t. A
terrific artillery engagem ent Is pro.
ceediug along the entire front. The
result Of the battle Is still undecided.

BATTLE At STEM cHuANG.

Russians Attempt to Cut Of Japanese
communicated With Yalu River.
The Russians are attacking Sien
Chuang, thirty miles northeast of STA
maitsze, southeast of Lao Yang, and
almost due north of Feng Wang Cheng,
evidently with the object Of cutting on
Japanese communications with the
Yalu river.
A battle south of .Mukden ragged un-
interruptedly all of Tuesday and into
the night. It was continued Wednes'
day. The results have not been deci-
sive. The Russians have a heavy
force on the Japanese right, toward
the Taitse river, but it is believed that
the Japanese have checked the Rus
sian turning movement.
"A general Japanese advance along a
broad front toward Mukden is prog
ressing. A brigade of Russian infan'
try, with 1000 cavalry and two guns,
having the object of striking General
Kuroki's flank, crossed the Taitse
river October 9. The Japanese cut off
the retreat of this force and possibly
will capture it.

RUSSIANS BADLY WHIPPED.

Reports Indicate the Cars Men Are
Getting Some Severe Punishment.
According to a Toxic dispatch, Cen
eral Oku has captured twenty-five Rus
sian guns, making total of about
thirty Russian guns which have fallen
into the hands of the Japanse since
the battle began. It is yet early to
measure the results Of the tremen-
dous struggle which has been waged
south Of Mukden, but all reports reach
ing Toxic indicate that General Kuro-
patkin has been decisively whipped
and severely punished.
The Russian commander was evi.
IDENTITY caught while making his dispo-
sitions and he was beaten before he
could recover. Much depends on the
ability and resolution of the Japanese
in applying and fol owing up their ad-
vantages Kuropatkin may turn upon
favorable ground and succeed in beat
ing back the Japanese onslaught, but

John Hird, twelve-year old child,
killed a mountain lion measuring ten
feet from tip to tip, near Lamoille. in
the Ruby mountains, in Elko county,
Nevada. The boy had been hunting
with small-ca iber rife, and had
tracked a deer in snow for some dis
lance, when he came in sight of the
huge lion eating on tho carcass of a
deer which 1t evidently had just
killed.
The sight Of the lion esting meat
nearly overcame the boy with fright,
but urdaunted he placed the muzzle o.
his rife On a houl.er, took aim, and
fired. The animal couched and then.
roaring. made several bounds toward

him. Reaching tie pace they found
the lion dead, being shot through the
heart. - :.
