Scarcity of Ships and Seamen.

A friendly letter from a shipmate of years
ago, Capt. George Il. Tapley Of " est Brooks
vile, Me, reminds US of the scarcity OF
ships and saamen in that vicinity, as we'll as
all over that mariner producing State in
comparison TO years ago. Capt. Iapley says
in this connection: clad | seagoing YES
sci to-day, could not find crew enough to
man her in this port under 10 years of age.
Thirty years ago there were IS sail vessels
owned here, TO day there is not sixty-sec-
ond part of one can claim this as halllng
port. Fifty years ago Castine. just across
the river, had several fine sailing ships en-
gagged in the New Orleans and Liverpool
trade, while now shipping at that port, as
well as at this, is a lost art" Capt. Iapley
was in command of the bark lronsides, just
off the stocks when the civil war broke out.
His vessel was one of the first chartered oy
the government to carry supplies for use by
the navy at Hilton Head, 5. C.. After ar
irving his bark was kept under charter as a
storeship lying in Hilton Head Bay fourteen
months. Capt. Tapey, now iii his 10th
year, is getting all there is to be had out OF
life at his quiet home in West Brooksvllle,
surrounded by every comfort and with the
knowledge that he did his part well during
his many years at sea-Capt. George L..

Gen. Hall, who has been gallant Off
Ger. Gen. Hall will retire in a few
weeks from active service. He was a
second lieutenant of volunteers in the
25th Maine Infantry and afterward was
a first lieutenant in the 3Oth Maine vol
unteer regiment. There has been one
other Maine man on the retired list OF
the army as major general in recent
years, Gen. Fl. G. Merriam, who still
resides in Washington. However, he
never served in the army with that
rank, it having been conferred upon
him by act of Congress after he had re-
tired as a brigadier Gov. Burleigh
assisted in securing that special legisla-
ton for Gen. Merriam, who had been a
boyhood friend in Aroostook county.
There is much regret here over the re-
tirement of Representative Charles E.
Littlefield, of the second District from
Congress. He is highly regarded by
both parties i'll the House for his abil-
ity Representative Burleigh said to-
day that Mr.. Littlefeld's retirement
was distinct loss to Maine, he having
been very active in everything here
that could help the old Pine Tree State.

Salmon in Molunkus.

Molunkus lake has come into the salmon
class, after countless ages as d purely pick
eral lake, not to mention an abundance of
lesser game fish such as hornpouts, perch,
ETC. Several years ago Louvie SWEET, the
genial proprietor of the camps there, intro
duced lot salmon, in hopes of converting
the pick erel in the same way that the pick
erel would Convert" any stray trout that
might come their way. 1t is not on record
how many pickerel were converted into
salmon, but Lester f. Wiley of Bangor,
while at the camp with parties of friends,
has on each of two winter trips to Mol
unkus landed two pound salmon. Louvie
il in the seventh heaven of delight, and is
having the Crosby Co. preserve artisticaly
the first salmon from Molunkus. That SAL
mon deserves such fame as it will receive

Names Unused Water Powers.

Opportunities for new industries are treat
ed at great length in the annual report of
Hon. Thomas j. Lyons, State commissioner
of industrial and labor statistics Mi. Lyons
publishes information nom IS cities, 3l2
towns and 43 plantations, or Il per cent of
the organized municipalities in the State.
The conspicuous feature of the information
is the immense number of unused available
water powers, from those developing 40 or
5O-horSe power to others which might fur
nish thousands of horse power the year
around. Many of these water powers are
near railroad stations. In regard to the
much discussed exhaustion of our softwood
lumber supply, Mr. Lyons says in this re-
port that ''any person familiar with the
habits of our spruce and pine is aware that
as long as judicious cutting is practiced and
fire kept out of our woods an annual crop of
hundreds of millions of lumber will be har
vested from our forests for all time to co me.

low Whitehall, where the storm spent
its force against the mountains of the
Jefferson canyon.
Residents of Whitehall and passen.
gers on the evening train tell interest

light sheds and created havoc for
for nearly 80 minutes.
Through the Ruby valley it dis
mantled many haystacks, scattering
the fodder far and wide through the
fields, blew down fences and outhouses
and unroofed q few barns.

three or four bullet holes were found
in hts back all within d space which
could be covered by a mans hand.
