| Jack Frost made us another call last Fri
day night, leaving the thermometer at l40
| below on Saturday morning. This, with
the very high wind, made the day most un-
| comfortable and also made deep inroadS in
the coal bins, as did the previous intensely
cold wave. At the time of writing (Mon-
| day. snow is falling and there bids fair to
be good sleghing.
About 100 cars are at the Cape Jelison
pier loaded with potatoes, which owing to
| the extremely cold weather cannot be un-
| loaded. Stoves have been placed in the
cars and fires are kept night and day to
| protect the tuDerS from becoming frosted.
About 100 men are kept busy looking after
| the fires The steamer Mohawk has been
waiting to load for Il week, but the exces-
sive cold has prevented.
The steam shovel owned and operated by
contractor A. f. Trites has returned with

down near the second dock. This we un-
derstand will be levelled for some distance

the spring, the lumber will be shipped
farther along the dock. Old inhabitants
would not know the busy place now, and 1t
keeps constantly changing.
We understand the Carter Corey Com
pany have recently decided tC take a half
interest in the steamers of the Maine Coast
Transportation Co., thus ensuring to them
selves ample shipping facilities for their
immense output of potatoes. This is quite
an important decision, as the line repre-
SentS half million of dollars and will run
three steamers, each able to carry about 40
Car loads of potatoes, beside large miscel-
laneous freight 1t is expected that other
ArouStOok shippers besides Carter IL Corey
will be accommodated by this business ar
rangement, and that the steamers return
ing will bring much freight of the many
kinds needed in northern Maine.
Thursday night. Dec. 9th, the second of
| the G. E. Z. course of entertainments was
| given. 1t was most entertaining ana IN
structive lecture, by Rufus Emerson King
of New York, whose subject was "The New
Age" Mr.. King was complete master of
his subject and the language fairly poured
from his lips and in such fascinating man
ner as held the audience Spall-bound from
start to finish. There was not a dull moment,
and his anecdotes and very applicable stories
SO finely told, kept his hearers in high good
humor until the close. Indeed, when he
feared to weary them and suggested he
might cut off a portion of the lecture there
WAS enthusiastic applause for more, which
he kindly gave. Owing to the nclement
weather and very bad travelling many
were prevented from attending, but consid-
ering these things large house was pres
ent. Should we have another course next
year, Mr.. King would be in high favor for
one attraction.
