With the advent of the joyous spring

baseball. With the remembrance of Il

Trolley League, last year, plans will
shortly be formulated i'll this city for
the organization of Il nine to form one

the places represented were Augusta,
Winthrop, HalloWeIl and Gardiner.
and it is supposed that the four will
form Il league again. this year. Will {.
Atkins, the local attorney, who is
patron OF the game, and who is regard

object in vieWk Il meeting will be held
in his office on Friday evening Of this
week to make plans for the organiZa-

most valued players of the Gardiner

consented to take the nest or nests and

There is not the slightest room for

struggles against the threatening dam

conscious of the inroads of this insect.

the hope Of those interested in him
that he may succeed well in his I'M
dertaking. Despite his misfortune he
is never idle when there is work to do.
but quite to the contrary he is ener-
getic and rcSOuro eful and not of the

he has competed in a remarkable way

ing to do the work at the same rates.
The necessary permit has been given

and his stand will be erected very soon.

AS an evidence of the rushing bust
ness that is being conducted by the pa
per mills, the Journal man noticed
that the Mountain division freight,
yesterday, was comprised of 10 big
cars, all full to overlooking of the fin
ished product of the mills destined
for the jobbers and consumers. Two
trains are run daily, on an average,
over the short branch road, and this
in itself forms an important industry
in the city. In former years, when the
TRANSFORMATION was carried on eXciu-
sively by horses and trucks, the streets
may have presented a more active APP
pearanCe. but the system was not near
ly as efficient as that now employed.
The mills continue to work day and
night and the output of all combined
is enormous.
