There are now being opened between one
and two thousand new savings accounts at
the Waldo Trust Company's bank in Belfast
bv means of the Self. Registering Home Safe,
which may be obtained, free, from the
above bank or from their solicitors. These
home banks are splendid addition to any
home, teaching as they do the habits of
thrift and economy wherever used. The
Waldo Trust Company, since their organiza
ton Nov. LIST, 1904. have made very sub
stantial growth both in resources and earn
ed profits and surplus, the resources having
increased since that time from S504, 900 to
over S76O,00O which is the amount now, also
having gained over $4,000 in surplus dur
ing the same period, statement which is
highly gratifying to their many friends,
also rejecting great credit upon the execu-
tive management of the bank.
THE WALK ON NoRTHPORT AVENUE.
Some years ago the Improvement Society
undertook the construction of a gravel walk
on Northport avenue from the end of the
wooden sidewalk opposite the Girls Home
to the Kinds place, intending later to have
it continued to Little River Residents on
the avenue contributed literally of money
and labor, Mr.. J. F. Wilson gave two
weeks time in laying out and superintend-
ing the work, and the Improvement Society
did the rest. The city authorities, after a
good deal of persuasion, furnished a thin
coating of gravel and a few planks. More
gravel should have been put on the next
year, but nothing was done by the city then
Or since; and in hauling stone for the State
| road the walk was nearly destroyed in many
places and left in that condition. This year
the walk has been put in fine shape by Street
| Commissioner Bennett, and the many with
whom this is a favorite walk, as well as the
! residents on the avenue, must appreciate the
good work done.

The FOURTH IN BELFAST Thanks to
a very efficient police force Belfast had
comfortable night July 3rd. There was, of
course, fusilade of fire crackers and the
usual bon fires, but no destruction of private
property and no ringing of the church bells.
Plenty of material was cheerfuily contri-
buted for the bon fires, including an old
hack and dry goods boxes. The 4th was
! beautiful day, bright. and the heat of the
sun was tempered by a cool breeze from the
northwest All stores and places of bust
|
public buildings, the shipping in port and
many private residences. Nearly every
| body went out of town for the day. There
| were excursions by steamer to Camden and
Rockland; many went to Waterville by
rail; there was large crowd at Maple
Grove campground, where Mayor Hanson
| was the principal speaker; the Waldo
County Veteran Association had about 800
at their meeting at Citypoint, and there
were many private parties at the ponds. on
the bay shore and at the eampgrounds in
Northport. Altogether it was very com
Portable and enjoyable day.
STEAMER NOTES. IAN exchange says:
"Ihe screws OF the new turbine steamer
Camden KICK up great swash when she
comes up the Penobscot and considerable
damage has been the result" Observation
at this landing discredts this statement.
The swash created by the Camden is much
| less than that of the side boatS....
The Stockton was on the Buck spOrt-Camden
route July 4th in place of the Rocklaud,
the first appearance of the NJ & NJ under
her new name. The Rockland had an ex-
curson from Bangor on the 4th.. The
Ellsworth, Bluehill & Swans Island Steam
! boat Co. has taken the steamer Percy V. off
the route to the island towns, and the ser
vice has been discontinued. The company,
which is composed of Ellsworth men with
the interests of the city at heart, made
good fight to maintain the service, even at
personal loss. The line has never been a
paying enterprise. The steamer will be
used in the excursion business. -. The re-
port that the turbine Camden would be
withdrawn from the Boston and Bangor
route on account of difficulty in handling
her at some of the landings, which has been
| quoted in the Bangor papers, should have
been credited to the Lewiston Journal, not
to to the Kennebec Journal. That settles
| it. If you read it in the l.. j., it is not So
