THE kENNEBEc DRIVE.
Rear Passes Augusta, SaturIay-A
Good Season for Log Drivers.

The last of the kennebec drive for
the year passed the city. Saturday.
with the exception of very few logs
that We're sent down, yesterday morn
ing. The summer has been an excel
lent one for the log drivers, and the
season has been finished between Is
and 20 days ahead of last year. Al
though the number of logs that has
passed down the Kennebec cannot be
stated definitely, it is believed that the
drive is somewhat smaller than a year
ago.
The season has been attended with
a good flow of water, the thing which
is essential to good progress in log
driving, and this, with the fact that
the drive is a somewhat smaller one.
doubtless accounts for the difference
in time.
The work of the river drivers on
the kennebec, as elsewhere, has be-
come work about as systematic as
can Well be imagined. Starting on
the upper Kennebec and the Dead riv-
er regions the last of March or the
first of April. the future lumber starts
on its long journey to the mills along
the lower Kennebec.
The first boom that is met is at Sol
on, where the work Of gathering and
sorting the various logs begins. Then
comes Madison. where the process of
taking out continues. and where no
small numbers of logs are landed for
the Unsuitable Great Northern plant
at that place. Then comes Skowhe-
gan. Shawmut and Fairfield, where the
pulp and saw mills take up the logs
belonging to these plants. and then
Waterville with its Hollingsworth &
Whitney plant comes in for its share.
Five Mile Island boom is the next plant
after leaving Waterville, and it is here
that the logs are held up and let out
as they are wanted farther down.
At Whitney brook the Augusta Lum-
Der Co. gather up their logs and regu-
late the sending of them over the dam
for their mill. while at the dam is the
boom of the Augusta Paper Co. Below
Augusta are the Hallowell and Browns
hooms. where they are RATED for the
mills farther down.

Queen Of the Hishbinders."

The final appearance of the Fenberg
Stock Co. occurred at the Opera house,
Saturday evening. when the presenta-

was greeted with a full house. The
play was combination of the tragic,
drama and comedy, and fully main

tablished by this company during the
performances earlier in the week.
The plot of the play lies around a
newly married couple and a prince Of

infatuated with the bride, and before
the final downfall of the curtain causes
a series of heartrending scenes, but

Billy Walsh introduced several
unique songs during the second and
third acts. one Of which, Bill Sturgis y
produced the hit of the evening. Add.
ed to this, he proved his worth as a
clever comedian.
The other speciality of the evening
worthy of special mention was the

GERM DISEASES OF SUMNER
No one Need Fear Sickness If Mi-o.na
is Used

People with strong stomachs and
natural digestion are ordinarily not
subject to bowel troubles, diarrhoea.
and other germ diseases that are so
common and dangerous in the summer
months.
A Mi-o-na tablet taken before each
meal will give such health and strength
to the weakest stomach that the whole
system will become strong and well,
and SO clean and sweet that there Will
be no chance for disease germs to be-
come effective.
A great many people imagine that
their headaches. dizziness, heart burn,
or general dependency and weakness
Is a sign of fatal illness. when the
whole trouble is the direct result OF d
weak stomach and imperfect digestion.
A so cent box of Mi-o-na tablets Will
show by the great gain in fealth that
the stomach is the cause OF the poor
health. and that Mi-o-na is the only
remedy that will drive on: all weak
ness. debility, and disease.
Mi-o-na is so nearly irfallible IN
curing the diseases resulting from a
| weakened stomach. excepting cancer OF
the stomach, that Bowditch webster
! and Percy w. Means guarantee 10 re-
fund the money should the remedy no'
give perfect satisfaction.
