The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1906-03-01

The big automobile and power boat show
opened in the auditorium, Portland, Mon
day and will continue until March Sd. A
feature of the exhibition is a half million
dollars worth of automobiles and power
boats received direct from the big Madison
SQUARE Garden show in New York city.
The board of registration will be in ses-
sion at Memorial building March 9th, 18th,
Sth and 9th from 9 a. m. to p. M, and 3 to

The ladies of the East Belfast Reformed
church society had a sale of aprons
and fancy articles in Memorial hall
yesterday afternoon, supper at 6
o'clock and an entertainment beginning
at O'Clock, which included farce, read
ings and vocal solos. 1t bid fair to be
great success, but we are unable to give
particulars this week.
The journal has received from the Union
Pacific Railroad Co. handsome picture en-
titled 1.-THE Oldest Inhabitant on Union Pa
cific." 1t is life-like representation of
buffalo bull, and appeals strongly to the
writer, who crossed the plains in the sos,
when these now practically extinct animals
were numbered blythe thousands and when
buffalo steak was often on the camp menu
They were wantonly slaughtered then, and
later, but the building of the transconti-
mental railroads no doubt sealed their doom.
1t is fitting therefore that railroad should
send out this memento of the departed
monarchs of the plain.

THE TRIBUNE FARMER. Many of our
readers now have this excellent farm and
home weekly in connection with The Jour

scription in advance and secure it free If
they knew what d valuable publication it is.
We had contract with the publishers I'M
der which we we're enabled to furnish it
free to all subscribers paying 81 for The
Republican journal one year in advance;
but recent ruling of the post office depart
ment will not permit of this price after
