shedding cut off the supply of logs
from nearby cuttings will start next

friends in Cornville.
Arlie R. Shaw and wife who had
been at Capital island for two weeks

the benefit which might be derived
by Mr.. Shaw, who has been in poor
health for some time.
Hon. Bert NJ. Fernald of Poland,
Me-, was in town Saturday. He was
returning from Kineo where he had
been attending the annual session of
the Maine Fish and Game association,
and took this opportunity of renew
ing acquaintance with many of our
citizens.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Baker arriv-
ed home last week from Boston where
they passed the winter, as has been
their custom for several years. Mr..
Baker is now retired from business.
He was for many years senior MEM
Der of the firm of Baker & Marble,
marble and granite workers.
Geo. H. Pishon and wife and c. ID.
Miller and wife passed quite portion
of last week in the Moosehead Lake
region, going and coming over the
Somerset road Thirty five residents
of this vicinity also visited the same
locality for the Fourth going by the
special car run by the Somerset Irac-
ton Company TO connect with the
excursion over the Kineo Short line
and returning the same evening.
Ensign Coburn S. Marston arrived
here Tuesday to pass portion OF
ten days furlough with his mother,
Mrs. Sarah S. Marston. He has been
serving upon the battleship Iowa for
the past two years and has recently
received orders transferring him to
the cruiser, Albany. This vessel is TO
become one OF a squadron under
command of Admiral Evans in Paci-
fic waters and Mr.. Marston will join
her at some port on Puget Sound in
the early future. 1t is supposed that
Admiral Evans squadron is destined
for the Philippines and if this is the
case it is not likely that Mr.. Marston
will have an opportunity to visit
home in two years.
Jas. Lowe has resumed his duties as
conductor on the Skowhegan morn
ing freight after two weeks absence
during which he had been serving as
one of committee of eleven mem
bers, representing the Bangor divi-
sion of the order of Railway Con
ductors in making up the wage sche-
dule for the ensuing year. 1t seems
that this system prevails with practi-
cally all the employees of the Maine
Central, every department having an
organization of its own and sending
representatives, once year to arrange
wage schedule with the manage
ment of the road, present grievances
of individual members for adjustment
and discuss all matters appropriate
for such a conference. The conduc-
tors and some other departments
have been thus represented for years
and other departments have more
recently been accorded the same con-
sideration. 1t is said that the ar
rangement is very satisfactory to the
railway officials and to the men, and
that all differences which might
otherwise have proved serious have
been thus settled. The feeling
among the employees seems to be very
general that the road is willing to
give every problem the fairest con-
sideration.
