The Lewiston Journal.

In making up his reading matter
for the year the careful citizen OF
Maine will not omit the Lewiston
Weekly Journal from his list after
subscribing and paying in advance
for his home paper The Journals
ample columns enable it to present
such variety of matter as to keep
the reader fully posted in every
interest pertaining to Maine as well
as a resume of all the interesting
events of the week turnout the
world. Thru the wonderful service
of the Associated Press and the liberal
use of the telephone and telegraph
The Journal is at once news, polit1-
cal, business, miscellaneous and fam
lily paper. The literary features have
been enhanced the past year by the
publication of several serial stories
and this interesting feature will be
continued.
Since we established the feature of
presenting the agricultural section as
a separate sheet, with attention given
to Grange matters, this feature, mas
proved a great attraction. 1t is a
significant fact that Prof. Bateman,
who conducts this department, was
made the official reporter OF the
National Grange at its recent session
and received an invitation to become
it's permanent official reporter.
A series of valuable copyrighted
agricultural articles furnished by the
most eminent writers in the country
have appeared during the year and
other equally valuable features are IN
store for next year.
The half tone service Of the Journal
has proved a very taking feature and
we have been able to give pictures of
leading men and scenes which have
been very attractive and proved very
valuable in illustrating the special
articles.
The price OF the Weekly is so a
year, with a premium to such as pay
fully in advance.
The Evening journal is making
rapid strides. Its special news SER
vice, we'll illustrated, are of special
value. Our organization of New
England and of Maine i'll particular
for news purposes, is unequalled
within corresponding territory. Our
expenditure is large and is intended
to be wise. Testimony from all parts
of New England pour i'll upon Us in
appreciation of the service which the
Lewiston Evening Journal is rendering
sincere republicanism, good govern
ment and all the causes which con-
Germ the progress of society. The
Cartoon feature, recently inaugurated
is proving a special hit. Our repre-
sentation of Uncle Scion Chase pre-
sented that well-known citizen in a
peculiarly happy light.
Every event in Maine is fully re-
ported at the earliest possible
moment. Besides the news of the
Associated Press, we have ample
special correspondent and by the
use of the telegraph give the full
history of the day in each evenings
issue.
The price of the Daily is six dollars
year by mail, or hfty cents month.
The Saturday Journal at points
reached by the afternoon and evening
trains becomes more popular year by
year. The terms are but $3.50 a year.
Orders addressed, Journal, Lewis
ton, Me-, will receive prompt at

To the Skowhegan Woman's Club
Upon its Twenty-ffth Anniversary.

Five and twenty years have vanished
Like a dream have passed away,
Since our little club was started
On bright November day.
We can hear again the humming
And the buzzing Of the Mills
And the rivers drowsy murmur,
All the air with dreaming fills.
Autumn's rudy heart is wounded,
With her blood the leaves are dyed,
And the sad winds in the woodland
Blow the red drops far and wide.
Once again we meet together,
And bring in our gathered sheayes.
To the murmur Of the river
To the falling of the leaves.
We can see again the glory
OF the Indian summers mist.
As it floats above the highlands
In vel of amethyst.
Of the dear ole charter members
Who have served US long and well,
Some are scattered, some are roaming
Through the fields Of asphodel
But bring a loving message
From my home so far away,
To the "old guard" still remaining
Who will answer troll" today.
How we miss our first bright leader,
BY whose spirit. quenchless FIRE
Ours were kindled and kept burning
by noble high desire.
She was regal in her spIendor -
She had tact, and matchle grace
And she gave us ere she left us.
Both an honored name and place.
There was one who moved serenely
As the silver moon at night,
WI en- from out the halls of heaven
She sends forth her shining light.

CANADIAN CONTRACTORS
FACING LABOR PROBLEM

MONTREAL, Aug. 22-Canada is
having a period of railroad building
that is proving embarrassing, contrac-
tors having more available business
than they can conveniently handle, and
there being q dearth Of essential facili-
ties. This may have a deterrent effect
and delay for some time in the award
ing OF contracts for 200 miles IF the
Grand Trunk Pacific between Edmon-
ton and Prince Rupert, which the man
agement is prepared to let. American
contractors cannot be induced 10 bid
for work across the border owing TO
heavy duties levied on construction
outfits. these varying from % to 35 per
cent, which is practically prohibitive.
II Is doubted that the outfits could be
bonded
The situation is akin to that credited
by the attitude Of labor in British Co
lumbia. objection being made TO the
importation of Asiattcs TO DO the work
required, although Their are not enough
men in Canada TO meet the demand

road company, SAYS:

see that those interested in getting il
ouilt are enabled to get contractors and
laborers outside Canada If a sufficient
