A Florida Special.

George II. Seavey, now passing few
weeks at his old home here. has large and
yearly increasing pineapple interests in
Punta Gorda, Fla, ana Is n believer in
the ultimate success of the orange grow
ing experiments, hitherto untried in that
locality owing to popular prejudice aris-
ing from a practical knowledge Of soil
conditions. The residents of the place
were not a little surprised a few years
ago when, after the erection of Il new
hotel, the company set out large numbers
of orange trees about the grounds. They
laughted at the idea, but watched the OK
pertinent with interest The outcome OF
the matter has been that the trees lived
and bore fruit in abundance. Land own
crs, including Mr.. Seavey, will gradually
introduce the new culture and it is
thought that orange raising will eventu-
ally prove n profitable venture. One OF
the most enthusiastic men OF the vicinity
intends to plant large groves of orange
trees on commercially isolated island
in the everglades. 1t Is practically mac
cessible at this time. but he AYERS that ne
will find n way to ship his product when
his ideas are practically developed.
The delicious flavor of Punta Gor6a
pines is well known in Hallowcll and
should "Neighbor" Seavey prove success
ful in his orange venture it viii be posi-
bic and convenient to make use Of n car
load hereabouts. SOD.

THE JUNIOR PROMENADE.
One of the Most Delightful of Colby
Entertainments Yet Given.

Those who were so fortunate as to
be present at the Armory, Monday
evening, will remember the Junior
promenade of the class of 1905 at Col
by College as the most enjoyable affair
OF its kind that has been held by any
class at the college for 4 long time.
Everything turned out for the best,
even the weather coming out of it's
sulks and smiling down upon the hap
Ply couples going to the hop, and the
| enhancing music, the fine floor for
dancing. ana the general air of enjoy
ment which pervaded the occasion
made the evening n most delightful
one.
1t was a very few moments after
$50, when Dennis Orchestra of Au-
susta, struck up the air for the first
number of the concert, and from that
time until the last strains Of the last
last waltz died away the musicians
outdid themselves. During the con-
cert. which lasted until 9 o'clock, the
guests We're presented to n reception
committee consisting of Mrs. II. f..
Judkins, Mrs. William Il. Haines, Mrs.
j. +. Hill, Mrs. T.. w. Boyer and Mrs.
G. w. Davis. The reception commit
tee stood in the northeast corner of the
hall. where delightful cosy corner
had been arranged with palms and
divans.
Dancing commenced shortly after Q
O'Clock, and the program of 90 dances
and numerous extras prolonged the fes-
tivities until long after midnight. The
music was excellent and the orchestra

The hall was very prettily decorated
and one would hardly have recognized
the sober looking old Armory in the
scene presented by the hall with it's

dancers. About the galleries and on

The front of the stage was banked with
evergreen. Over each of the many
windows mirrors had been placed and
banked with green ana white, making
4 striking effect. The main entrance
of the hall was closed and the alcove
thus formed was transformed into a
most inviting cosy corner by couches
and rugs and innumerable cushions.
All about the hall the settees had been
transformed into soft couches by the
many rugs and cushions with which
they We're covered, and nothing was
lacking to make the scene a pleasing

SkOWHEGAN, 9; c. c. l., 2.
A Good Game, but Visitors Had Too
Hard a Proposition.

The Skowhcgan High school team
won another victory off Coburn CLASH
cal Institute at Fairview park, Satur-
day afternoon. The visitors had good
grit, but they were up against the real
thing in the line of prep school base
ball.
The game was called at P. M. in Or
der that the Coburn boys might catch
their train, and as it was, the game
had to be concluded at the close of the
eighth inning. If the train had left Is
minutes sooner, the losers would have
been treated to a whitewash. for not
until the last inning did any member of
their team reach home base.
The game began by both sides being
retired in one, two, three order, and
the kids handled the sphere like old
timers.
In the fourth, Skowhegan fell on
Ware with a vengeance. Somebody met
the ball for smashing liner, and then
clear through the list the boys came in
with dinky poles, left jabs and straight
shoulder swats, until it began to look
as though the remainder of the after
noon would be passed in an attempt to
retire the side. The inning netted sew
en- runs for Skowhegan. The rest of
teh game was more even. The home
twirler did some excellent work, and
showed the marks of a conner. The boys
have the best team they have had for
several years and give promise of MAX
ing their opponents hustle all through
the season. They played an errorless
game with the exception of one man
who had an of day.
Following is the summary:

A BIG ICE BREAKER
To Be Built to Help Keep the ST. Law.
renee Open.

Montreal. May 16.-Captain Spain
and Lieut.. Col. Anderson of the depart
ment of marine and fisheries. Ottawa,
appeared before the harbor commits
sionerS. today, and stated that the
government intended having an ice
breaker built in England during the
coming summer with which it was in
tended to make the experiment of keep
ing the st. Lawrence open later during
the fall and also to break up the ice
earlier i'm the spring. 1t was calculated
that the shipping season ut Montreal
could be heightened by at least fort
night in the fall and that about the
same space of time could be gained
by breaking up the ice formation at
Cap Rouge in the spring. The cost Of
the vessel will be about 100000 and II
the experiment proves successful an
other and larger boat would be built
and stationed at Quebec in order to
make the service even more efIicacious.

CITY'S VALUATION.
Assessors Present Their Re-
port to Mayor Davis.
Growth Much Larger Than Expressed
by the Figures.
Total Increase of $63,270 for the Past
Year.

After weeks of the hardest kind OF
mental work the assessors, Monday,
finished the work OF preparing their
report for the inspection of the mayor
and presented it to him. The report
is very satisfying in that 1t shows a
growth both in real and personal prop
erty, and an increase in the number OF
polls of sc over that of last year.
The figures given below will indicate
where the growth has been but it must
be taken into consideration that the
growth is larger than expressed by the
figures. By the transfer of the proper
ty of the Maine Water Company to
the Kcnnebec Water District there
passed out of currency 100000 of tax
able property. The property is still
there to be sure, but the city derives no
income from it. This loss has more
than been made up by the growth of
the city, SO that the figures remain
very nearly the same.
The increase in the real estate yalua-
ton IS 17.425.00, and in personal proper
ty $45.S45.00, n total OF $4,000 1t is
the desire of the members of the city
government not to raise the rate Of
taxation this year, but with 100000
dropped from the taxable property
even with the gain made, it is hard
to see how the same rate of 23Ia mills
can be maintained and all the i'm
provements which are planned be car
ried out.
Following is a comparison of the
valuation for 1903 and 1904:
