LOWER MILLER STREET. An idea of the
general improvement yearly taking place in
Belfast may be had by noting what has been
done on single street or section of street.
! For example, take Miller street from High
| to the water front. On the left the old White
house, recently bought by Fred Timm, has
| been raised, renovated and in part rebuilt.
| 1t was one of the few old houses remaining
| in dilapidated condition. The intervening
| places between this house and the former
brick bennett house, corner of Cross street,
are well kept, with nicely trimmed lawns,
| flowers and vines. The bennett house and
! grounds, now owned and occupied by w. A.
| Kimball and H. d. Gilman, have undergone
complete transformation, as previously
noted in these columns. Next below is the
two story house owned by Mrs. j. G. Brooks,
which sets back from the street, with fruit
and shade trees and lawn in front. Then
returning to High street and taking the
right hand side we find on the corner the
four-tenement block erected by G. B. Mar
sano on what had been d vacant lot. Next
below is the former Gilchrest house, now
owned and occupied by Mr. Marsano. Next
two story house owned by George W. Bur
! kett, and which was practically rebuilt when
it came into his possession. Then on the
corner of Union street is the home of A. E.
Hutchins, where once stood an old house,
a modern dwelling with well kept grounds.
! Opposite is the house of &. l.. Field and
next below is the former Mckeen house,
both well kept, comfortable dwellings,. we
now come to Mathews Bros factory, the
home of one of belfast, leading Industries
and IA plant that in its present condition Is
a credit to the firm and to the city. In place
of the huge lumber piles ana their inevitable
litter we have lofty building i'll which the
lumber is stored, and the grounds about the
mill have been graded and are kept in gooC
| condition. Incidental to the changes mere
but not coming within the province of these
notes, is the transforming of the old dry
house into d neat dwelling. On the watel
front is the new coal dock of the Belfas'
! Fuel q Hay Co., the best equipped east OF
Portland, and Gilchrest's marine railway.

collision case between the schooners Lejok
and Gov. Ames is of general interest In
shipping circles. The collision took place
March %, 1906, off Fire Island. The Lejok
was loaded with lumber and on voyage
from Brunswick, Ga, to New YORK, Whlle
the Ames was coal laden from Newport
News to Boston. The Ames had the wind
on her starboard quarter within three
points from directly aft, and she was run
ming under all sail at a speed OF 10 knots or
more. The Lejok was heading about north
west and had the wind at most two points
abaft the beam, and was proceeding under
double reef spanker, single reef malnsali,
double reef fOreSail, foreStaysall ana Jio,
making about five knots speed. Each vessel
claims that the other was at fault for not
holding her course Judge Dodge decided
that within the meaning Of the sailing rules
vessel sailing as the Ames was sailing mas
the wind aft: 81 therefore hold that the
Ames was not in fault for maneuverlng TO
avoid the LejOk, that on the contrary she
was bound to do so, and that the LeJok was
bound to hold her course. 1t being undis-
puted that the Lejok changed her course,
the burden is upon her to excuse her failure
to hold it, or to show that the change dld
not contribute to the collision" The dam
ages sustained by the Lejok were about
$4,000, while the damages sustained by tne
Ames were about $500. The court ordered
the libel on behalf of the Lejok dismissed,
while an interlocutory decree was ordered
on the libel in behalf of the Ames.....

National Wool Growers association, of
Cheyenne, has written Secretary Stew
art expressing his most hearty APPROX
al Of the action taken by the Utah
sheepmen. He thinks that it is a much
better method than selling by consign-
ment, and also feels that the grower
will get a better price for his fleece.
S. M. Convey, one of the biggest
growers in the state, will leave within
the next ten or fifteen days for Boston,
in order TO be on hand When the first
Utah wool arrives. He will see that
the wool is properly stored. Other
growers who are interested may also
make the trip to Boston, although Mr..
Covey is the only one known at the
present time who has declared his in
tention of making the trip.
