To Have New Stage

Work was begun this week on the ad
dition to the Skowhegan Grange build
ing on Pleasant street which has been
contemplated by that society for some
time. 1t will be located ON the southern
side and midway of the present build
ing and will be OF the same height; it
will be 32 feet long where it joins the
old building and extend back from same
a distance of "a feet The lower floor
can be used for store room which is
badly needed and the second fl Dor will
be used for sage, this being one of the
principal reasons why the addition is
built. An entire new outfit of curtains
and stage settings will be provided and
az the building is of sufficient height,
the curtains will be arranged to slide up
into the loft above the level of the cell
ing instead of being wound up on rollers,
The stage az now located will be remov-
ed and the space added to the area of
the main hall giving it seating capac-
ity of 400 to $50 instead of $50 as at
present.
All details of the matter are being
carried out under the direction of y A.
Withee, j E Buker and :. II Bradbury,
executive committee of Skowhegan
Grange.

Il is indeed sad words to write that
the vacation season has closed and the
harvest of dollars has been gathered IN
at our Maine resorts. September here is
one of the very best months for an out

people homeward. We trust our people
have done we'll financially, and that the
visitors have received their moneys
worth. A friend of ours, who has this
year plunged into the Moosehead Lake
wilderness, writes: "Oh, those fragrant
