Wharf Building at Cape Jellison Contract
Awarded.

Wharf Building at Cape .Jellson Contract
Awarded.
While the ice embargo is delaying opera
tions at Cape Jellison som thing is doing
there. James F. Spelman, the well known
wharf builder of Bangor, has crew there
with donkey engine and other appliances
for building two hundred feet OF wharf on
the Cape Jellison side of Stockton harbor
A pile driver is building at Bucksport for
this work. At first it was thought doubt
ful if piles of size and quality to be
used in wharf building could be obtained
in the country around Stockton and in this
emergency the Great Northern Pape, Co
was called on to furnish the big sticks with
the result that some 20 carloads OF piles
nearly LOCO pieces in all, ale now loaded ON
flat cars of the Bangor * Aloostook rail
road at Old Town waiting to be taken To
BuckSport when the conditions of the ice
and water there are such that they can be
taken to Stockton. Meanwhile the country
around Stockton has been secured and .0OO
fine spruce and oak sticks have been Sc
cured and will be forthcoming as soon as
the work of wharf building is begun.
Word comes from Portland that the steel
barge Reliance is there waiting for the har-
Dor to clear of ice before moving to her
dock to load hard pine timber for Stockton
to be used for Gaping for the new wharf
This barge is 800 feet long and when ironed
lor ice breaking is said to be capable of sue
cessfully negotiating foot of ice. If the
weather holds as it is 50 that the barge can
be loaded and get away from Portland all
right she will probably proceed around to
Stockton and make try to get her cargo
landed where it is wanted AT present
there is anywhere from four to eight
inches of ice in Stockton harbor.
|. b. Mullen Il Co. OF Bangor, who will do
the masonry work on the new road, have
had some of their derricks and other para
phernaia taken to Bucksport preparatory
to having it taken to stockton.
The Richmond Bee says: "Nobe Maxwell
and Charles E. Rowe of Rowe Brothers
Company, were in Bangor last Saturday,
having been called there by President Cram
OF the b. 4 A. r. Il. Before leaving the
city they secured large contract with the
Northern Maine Seaport Company. The
Reliance left Portland Monday for Penob-
scot river, where she will be employed in
building the new terminal docks at Sears
Island and Mack's Point. This is destined
to be big railroad terminal This com
pany have bought twelve hundred acres of
land at that point, also Cape Jelison and
Sears Island and Macks Point, AL three OF
which are to be made into term nal docks
This is large contract as there is great
amount of work to be done there"

Mrs. j. W. Hatch of this city received
news Monday of the death in Island Falls
of her little nephew, Philip Wendell How
ard, aged year and 6 months. He was the
son OF Rev. and Mrs. George C. Howard of
Strong, who were visiting Mrs. HIS parents
in Island Falls. The child was taken i'll
Feb. sth with Group and bronchitis. Mrs.
Howard was formerly Faye NJ. Flye of
Island Falls, and MIR. Howard is the son of
Hollis NJ. Howard of Centre Montville
his son-in-law, Prof. l.. {. Rateman, on
Dennison street, Auburn, Feb. 10th, after a
brief illness. Mr.. Woodman was born in

very young his parents moved TO Sears
mont. He was educated in the public
schools and at the school at Watervile

For nearly 80 years after leaving school he
taught, his experiences in teaching being
probably more extensive than those of any
other man now living in the State. In 1862
he enlisted in the Sth Me. regt., becoming
serving throughout the war in that capac-
ity. After the war he settled down on the
old home farm in SearsmOnt, continuing to
teach during the winters. He served re-
peatedly on the board of selectmen and
held various other offices in the town. He
married Caroline Farwell of Unity in 1S48,
and she survives him. They had seven
children, of whom five are living-Mrs.
Bateman, Freeman F. WOOdman of Nevada
City, Calf Oliver D. of Butte, Mont.
Fred B. of Watsonville, Calf, and Charles
F. Woodman of Bangor. Mrs. Bateman,
Oliver and Charles WOOdman were with
him when he died. He was member of
and constant attendant at the High street
Methodist church, Auburn. He was a
member of Burnside Post, G. A. r., but
belonged to no other society.
