New Hotel at Parlin Pond.

II. P. Mckinney of Jackman, one
of the largest lumber operators in
western Maine, and the busiest man
in the upriver section, was in town
Saturday on business.
People who travel the road be-
tween The Forks and Jackman will
be grateful to learn that the work on
his new hotel in the vicinity of Par
lin Pond is progressing favorably,
and before the snow falls it will be
completed. 1t is TO be an up to date
house in all particulars, a much
needed convenience, as ever since the
old Parlin Pond property was trans
ferred to private ownership there
has been no place for the traveller to
put up" between this hard and long
80 mile stretch.
Sportsmen also will learn with great
pleasure of the erection of a new
hotel in that section, conceded to be
one of the best for hunting and fish
ing in the whole northern country.
Mr.. Mckinney has already built three
log cabins for the use of his guests
and is to build several more if
needed another season.

Bingham to Dead River.

Bingham and the Kennebec valley
and the Somerset railroad are to be
connected with Dead River and Flag
staff by county and state road to be
built across from Bingham to Lower
Dead River, connecting just below
the Ledge House with the Dead River
road, a distance of about II miles.
There is much interest in this road
and it is surety that it will be built
as all the land and lumbermen are for
it. This means direct route for all
the lumber interests of Northern
Maine, with the standard gauge rail-
road.
Flagstaff and Dead River people
held meeting last week at Dead
River and decided to push the project
through, and a committee of three
was chosen to look after this end of
it, and some money was raised
Harvey Harlow, r. V. Stafford, of
Dead River, and Will Viles, of Flag
staff, were the committee chosen,
while Turner Boswell has charge of
the Bingham end.
1t will be very easy road to build
with no bad hills, and it is practically
all cut out now where most of the
road will run. Tote roads from both
sides are cut out all the way. This
will give West Garry Pond camps an
opening, witha stage road only 2 IL
miles from the head of West Carry
pond, where through train service
can be had, and sporting people can
come through from Boston, reaching
camps the same day.-Maine Woods.

The Third Maine Infantry.

ne citlZeUS OF oBOWDekdH are soon
TO welcome the survivors Of one Of
the grand old regiments that went
out from the Pine Tree State 70
defend our Country's Flag and all
that it represents in the Var II the
Rebellion
The Third Maine Wa composed Of
boys and young men from the valley
OF the Kennebec. 1t was the FIRST
three years regiment from Maine
There was one Company from Skow-
hogan, two from Waterville, two from
Augusta, one from Hallowell, one
from Gardiner, two from Bath and
one from Winthrop
Gen. o. O. Howard, the most
distinguished commander of the war
living, was the first Colonel Of the
regiment followed by Col. H. G.
Staples, who resigned in the fall of
1882 and was succeeded by Col. NJ. B.
Lakeman. Both the latter Colonies
are now deed. At the time Of the
enlistment Of the Third Maine boys
there was no government bounty
offered and a private's pay was but
eleven dollars per month sc it can
truly be said that they did not enlist
for money.
This gallant regiment that shed
imperishable luster to the military
history OF Maine, was mustered into
the United States services June 4th.
1851 and Immediately left for the seat
of war. During the entire three years
OF its enlistment it served in, and
formed part, OF that greatest fight
ing machine ever organized in the
worlds history, "The Army of the
Potomac" It:stood on the front line
and participated in all the Campaigns
of that army up to the time of the
expiration of its term of service in
1854. 1t fought on the hattlefields of
Bull Run, Siege of Yorktown,
Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Oak Grove,
White Oak Swamp, Charles City
Cross Roads, Malvern Hill, Second
Bull Run, Chantilly, Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville, Gettysburg, Wap-
ping Heights, Auburn Mills, Mine
Run Spotsylvania, North Anna and
Cold Harbor, besides innumerable
skirmishes and picket rackets with
the enemy. Its brilliant as well as
bloody record carried it into the
immortal list of "Fox's fighting reg
iments Of the war;" and while it may
have been equaled it was not sur
passed by any other regiment Of the
war for long and hard service.
Col. a. S. Bangs of Augusta, is now
President of the Association with
Jefferson Savage Vice President,
VIM. McDavid Secretary and Lewis
Selbig Corresponding Secretary.
The surviving members of the reg
iment now residents of Skowhegan
are Jefferson Savage, H. A. Weston,
S. F. Emerson, D. F. Fish, c. C.
Grover, &. w. York and Simon
Grover, all of whom will gladly well
come their old comrades in arms as
they meet here in their annual
session, Wednesday next, Aug. 18th.

Hale, Hearty and Active.

Our old friend, A. B. Pratt of Ripon,
Wis, in renewing his subscription to
the REPoTER for the coming years in
cidentally writes as follows:
l am still on earth, although an old
man. yet quite active. | am in the
god year of life the Oldest individual
in this city, which has been my resi-
last, and yet have a warm place in
home of my childhood and early man
hood, having left there the 31st day of
May 1856 for the great west, then
being rapidly settled, and good
place for one who WAS able and will
ing to try to earn competence for
old age by industry. How we'll / may
have succeeded remains secret for
others to determine. | have only to
say that | am not subject of charity
and do not expect to be the few re-
naming years or months of a long
life, now nearly at close. My health
is remarkably good for one of my age,
my hand is just as steady as 40 years
ago and 80 far as | know / am as well
as most men Is years younger. / am
told almost daily that am apparent
ly good for 100 years. Our old father,
King Solomon of Biblical times says
that "wisdom is grey hairs unto a
man and an unspotted life is old age"
Which of these qualities, if either, or
both, may be entitled to must be de-
cided by others. Please excuse this
long drawn out communication and
present my kind regards and best
wishes to all of the old friends and
acquaintance of my early life.
Very truly yours,
A B. PRATT.

Vaudeville at Boston Theatre.

For the summer season, the Keith
vaudeville presented at the Boston
Theatre has broken all records, and
with shows five and quarter hours
long, Bostonians are certainly getting
their moneys worth. The regular
season which began last week, show
ed the great interest that is being
manifested in this form of entertain
ment. The bill arranged for the
week of August 10th, is one that will
surely command attention. 1t is one
of the longest ever presented, with
more headline acts than have ever
been seen, most of them new to
Boston. The big spectacular feature
will be that rem arkably military spec
tacle, "The Boys in Blue" in which a
large company go through remark
able drills, gun exercises, and show
in the most vivid manner possible,
