Hymn.
BenedictiOll
The Maine Lobster Fishery.
/. cordial invitation to all.

At the convention of the North American
Fish and Game Association in Portland last
week, Hon. A. II. Nickerson of Boothbay
gave a carefully prepared and able address
on lobster fisheries, covering period of
nearly half century. Mr.. Nickerson
found this a difficult undertaking, for the
reason that no statistics have been kept until
quite recently. From 1867, when the first
report was issued, up to 1856, the word lob
ster is not mentioned by any fish commits
sioner in an official report. Commissioner
Nickerson attributes the slight falling Off
in the lobster fishery last year to the rough
weather, which not only prevented the fish
ermen from following their occupation but
caused the loss of much gear. He believes
that the lobster supply can be kept good
and even increased, if there is proper OBJ
servance of the fish laws. The next Legis-
lature will be asked to make law where
by permits are to be issued to the lobster
men. These will be free of cost, but the
fisherman who violates the law will forfeit
his permit for one year. The Govern
ment's new hatchery at Boothbay Harbor
is nearly completed, and will probably be
in operation the coming season. An ad-
ditional appropriation of $500 is necessary
to complete the work.

Mt. Desert Correspondence.

SOUTHWEST HARBoR, Jan. 25. J. L.
Stanley & Sons have filled their ice house
The ice is 13 inches thick and of fair quail
ity. They have a sluice from the pond to
the ice house, which is on their wharf. The
pond is about One-third of mile from the
house and considerably higher than the
building, and when it is freezing weather
the ice runs at great speed and has to be
checked at two different places before it is
allowed to go into the building. The firm
employs 25 men and two horses and it
usually takes about four days to fill the
building. During the summer this ice is
sold to the fishermen for icing fish and bait.
w. H. Ward, who has an ice house near
by but cuts on a separate pond, houses his
ice in the same manner. He sluiced one
half day, but as the ice is only eleven
inches thick, owing to the many boiling
springs in the pond, he was obliged to wait
for colder weather

ating portable saw mill near the western
mountain, have closed down for short

tion. They find a market for part of their
lumber in this vicinity. Quite quantity

THAT ACRE ISLAND" LITIGATION.

"Islesboro" writes to the Rockland Daily
Star as follows:
l do not know who your informant is re-
garding two articles which appeared in the
Star of January 18th and 18th, relative to a
G. Philbrook of Seven Hundred Acre Island
in the town of IslesbOrO, to c. T. Emmett of
New York, and afterwards conveyed by
him to mis- wife Aida Emmett First wish
to say that the piece of land in question
| which was conveyed by title deed by Miss
Philbrook to Mr.. Emmett was the estate of
her father, Capt. Daniel Philbrook, he hay
than sixty years and paid taxes on the same
since that time. Your informant does not
| wish the public to infer from the articles
previously written that Miss PhilbrOOk had
given a warranty deed of property she had
no legal right to convey but of property she
| would and had a perfect right to SELL Ex-
ceptions have been filed and allowed, and a
motion for new trial on the ground of newly
discovered evidence; which was unknown
at the time of trial.
The land in question has always been
considered the property of the late Captain
Daniel PhilbrOOk's wife; and Miss Phil
brook came into possession of the same by
caring for her mother during the wears she
was an invalid.
Second, that Capt Daniel Philbrook was
the father of Miss Philbrook and that Dan
lei Phllbrook and Jacob Philbrook were
not brothers and were not connected in any
way.
Third, that Capt Daniel Philbrook was
married but once. The writer claims for
Miss PnilbroOk only what was her fathers
property and does not propose that her
property Shall be contiscated and used for
any movement she is not in sympathy with.

"Thomaston-the Home of Knox. I"

Undoubtedly the most prominent feature
of the New England Magazine for February
is an illustrated article entitled, "1homas-
ton-the Home of Knox," by Mary Stoyell
Simpson, which cannot fail to be of keen
interest to every resident of Thomaston.
Delightfully."- written, it is an appreciative
and attractive presentation of the town,
both as to its past history-in which that
illustrious citizen, Gen. Henry Knox,
played so conspicuous a part-and as to
present day conditions. 1t is safe to saw
that no loyal resident of Thomaston can
read it without a thrill of local pride, and
perhaps few can do so without adding
materially to their store of local knowl-
edge. The illustrations used in connection
with the article are varied and extremely
fine. They include, to mention only few,
view of Thomaston Harbor, the Stuart
portrait of Gen. Knox, the old Knox man.

CONCERNING LOCAL INDUSTRIES.

A. II. Ellis of Swanville killed and sold
out last week, a beef creature that dressed
1913 pounds
Guy L. Peavey has stored 800 tons of ice
in the brick Storehouse near the creamery
on the Dana lot.
Piper Brothers are cutting pulp wood on
their farm and shipping it by rail to mills
on the Kennebec
Eleven men are at work on boats in Mr..
C. F. Browns shop at Pulpit Harbor. The
large yacht for Mr.. Forbes of Boston is
about half completed. Several dories and
one launch are being built.
Heal & Wood have re-opened their granite
works on Bridge street, which had been
shut down for several weeks during the
cold weather to give their help vacation,
and are busy on orders for cemetery work.
Charles O. Dickey of Northport has filled
his ice houses for his next seasons Camp
ground trade, and also the ice house at the
Battery He cut it on Little River pond.
The ice is from Is to Is inches thick and of
good quality.
In our issue of Jan. 18th we reported the
sale Of what is known as the Cunningham
wood lot in Northport to Charles A. Crock
EFT and Albert II. Blackington Of Rockland.
The lot is we'll wooded and contains some
large timber, and the new owners will move
a portable mill here and begin cutting soon.
Ice cutting on Goose River is progressing
slowly. The extreme cold weather made it
very difficult to keep the passages open for
| floating the ice to the elevators. When the
men attempted to open passage between
the upper and lower ponds they found
the ice feet thick at the bridge. They
could not, use the saws and the ice there
was of such nature, being mixed with
snow, that dynamite had little effect. The
ce cut on the lower pond is thick, Of good
The passage under the bridge was opened
Monday and some ice has been cut in the
upper pond.
Among Thorndikes industrious and en-
terprisng farmers are Mr.. and Mrs. F. L.
Phlbrick, who make a specially of gilt
edge butter, which they send to regular
customers in Massachusetts together with
fresh eggs. They have during the past
year shipped by the American Express Co.
to Massachusetts 3,657 pounds of butter, and
1855 dozen eggs. Mr. p. does all the heav-
ier part of the butter making himself. He
keeps and cares for large herd of cows,
and also has a large flock of hens which he
tends carefully and he says they pay. Aside
from this Mr.. Philbrick raised 700 bushels
of fine potatoes and 400 bushels of grain.
One can readily see from this that he spends
Gerry store and that the R. F. D. man does
not dread to halt at his door to leave his
mail for fear of a prolonged confab with
him.
