Rev H. +. Moulton, pastor of the
I-nversalist church in Biddeford has
the following to say about the vaca
tons being taken by some Of the peo-
pie in his own and other churches:
THE people seem to take longer and
longer vacations from church They
ask for five weeks from the work. but
often take ten. While my audiences
havn been good. even better than an
tcipated. vet several of our regular
church gocrs have left their pcws va
cant these pleasant fan SUNDAYS.
Often it is the people who plead the
most excuses for not going to church
that are the very people who talk the
most about the church being a failure
All in all, pews filed means success
in every other way. In these days
church work is cut down to about
eight months: the other months you
can't depend on anything, for people
seem to be getting in the habit of go
ing here, there and everywhere
thoughtless of the church and its
work"

According to the present outlook, the
lumber cut in Maine, to the east
and north of Bangor, will be con-
siderably reduced the coming win
ter from normal, estimated by
leading operators from rs to 80 per
cent below any of the last half
dozen years. The cut on st. John,
Aroostook and Allegash waters will,
it is thought, be about the same as
usual, much of this going to New
Brunswick mills. One of the big
gest operators in that part Of the
state is the Great Northern Paper
Company, and unless the present
strike at their mills is settled. the
heads of the numbering department
do not expect to put any more
crews in the coming winter than
they already have, and operations
now begun are to be limited.

MRS. EDWARD GRAY DEAD.
Suecumbs to Typhoid Fever in Sal
Lake After Hopeless Struggle.

News reached here Yesterday of the
death in Salt Lake of Mrs. Edward
Gray. following several weeks Ill
ness with typhoid fever. The intelli-
genee brought sadness TO many
friends and acquaintance of Mrs.
Gray, who was widely known in the
district.
The first news of the illness of Mrs.
Gray came here three weeks ago
through a call TO DR.. +. l.. II. Wal
lace To attend her in Salt Lake. where
he has since been. She was weak
ened physically at the time of sus-
tanning the attack and the battle for
her life was practically hopeless from
the beginning. The husband of the
deceased was superintendent of the
Ruth mine under the original owner
ship. Following the transfer to the
Nevada Consolidated he went to Alas
ka. where he has been engaged the
last few years in the development of
important properties. With Mrs.

The prospects are that with the

is reported al the Currie quarries of

followed up, with result that the red
stone area now appears To cover
about go acres. Five acres is count
ed sufficient for big quarry and the

The stone is pronounced to be as
fine as any ever found in the west.
II has clear. uniform color and ex-
cellent quality. II is likened TO the
very highest grade of building stone
to he seen in Salt Lake.
At present there is a force of eight
men at work in the Townsite quarry

present and by elimination OF the
latter TO enable the growth of the

from the council. 1t appears that the
marshal Ises his own discretion as
to what licenses should be collected.
The council doesn't approve of this
and in the future the marshal will be
required to give his reasons for not
collecting such licenses.
The contractors for the new city
hall sent in communication stating
that 1t was impossible to put the roof
on the building until the tower was
in place and asked for more time in
which to complete their contract.
The matter was laid over until the
supervising architect could he con-

The proposed sewerage system was
then discussed. The mayor suggest

matter as soon as possible. He stat
