There seems to be an impression that Fos-
ter Estabrooks Co. intend to close their Bel
fast factory. This is entirely false as the
concern not only expect to continue in Bel
fast without change, but desire to increase
their machine help and can guarantee good
pay and steady work to all who apply.
They have at present on their books suffi-
cient overall and shirt orders to run through
the summer and well into the fall Their
lease of two floors of the Dana building has
still some years to run and no doubt at the
end of that time satisfactory arrangements
| will be made for them to continue in Belfast.

Last Saturday afternoon Agent Pote and
others were looking at the fast dssolving
ice cakes and the growing spaces of clear
water to be seen from the ladies' waiting
room in the Eastern S. S. Co.'S building on
their wharf. "Look at those men out there -
said Mr.. Pote, and between the monument
and the eastern shore were seen half az dozen
men walking on the ice. A few minutes
later Mr.. Pote exclaimed, "look at them
they must be Italians" And apparently
there were twenty or more men on the ice.
But Mr. Pote went for his field glasses and
after one look began to laugh. The sup.
posed men were sea guls, the fog causing
them to loom up.
