time past and will move the machinery

will operate it. Mr.. FeIker also pur-
chased a boiler of +. H. Hayes which

SANFORD js iahQYt to experience ths
greatest building boom in it's history.
Already plans have been made for the
erection of many houses, and three
business blocks are to be built at
Springyale, one of these to be O! con-
crete construction. There is hardly a
house for rent in Sanford, while the
demand in Springvale is quadrupIe the
supply.
This winter promises at Green Lake,
to be quite busy one. al Hard
ing has contract to haul 300 Or 400
cords of wood for M. Quinn. The
Bacon & Robinson Co, of Bangor, have
consolidated with the Walter Cross
man Co, also of Bangor. Mr.. Cross
man will attend to the hauling of the
wood on the Bacon & Robinson lot 1t
is understood he has hired ten or
twelve teams to do the hauling. W. F.
Chute. of East Holden. also has several
hundred cords to haul to the cars.
Work on the foundations of the new
First-National Bank building at Bar
HarbOf began last week. :. Shea
Brothers have the contract for the
mason work, and the work will be
rushed along. The excayating work is
completed, and the new building will
have one of the largest easements of
any similar building in town. 1t is to
be fitted with one of the largest and
latest patterns of engine and boilers
obtainable, and it is probable that
when it is installed, one or more of the
nearby blocks will be heated from this
as central station.
R. L. Bean of Camden has con-
tracted for a vessel of 500 tons carry
ing capacity to be built for Captain
William Nelson of Lyndon, Mass. She
will be launched early in the summer.
This vessel will be used for the south
ern lumber trade and will be first
class one in every respect The three
master now on the ways, being built
for Captain S. w. Thrall of Chelsea.
Mass, is all framed out and the hard
pine is on the way from Boston. A
full crew will be at work on her next
week She will take the water about
the first of February. In the meantime
Mr. Bean is at work on, the model for
CAPTAIN Nelson's schooner and the
frame and other material will arrive
before the one now building i5
launched and work will commence on
her .at once. Captain Nelson's
schooner will be an up-to-date vessel
in every respect. with all modern con-
veniences and one of the best ever
launched on this coast.
Another piece of building in Bar
Harbor that may take form is the
proposed Odd Fellows hall, which mas
been the subject of discussion for
number of years. The Bar Harbor
lodge of Odd Fellows has been trying
to secure larger and better quarters for
good many years, but has felt the
high cost of building inadvisable. The
order at present owns a large lot or
land on Cottage street, occupied by the
Casino 1t is proposed at present W
sell this. and purchase piece on
Cottage street which has been recently
vacated, and which is in most central
location, almost opposite the new
government postoffice when built The
members of the order are discussing
very carefully the project of building
and it is hoped that in the near future
the society may have home OF It's
own. 1t Iabors at present under tne
disadvantage of having rather cramped
quarters for its large membership, ana
the members feel that they want
home of their own, with everything IN
a suitable manner for the uses OF .the
order An arrangement was taikeu VI
"a year .er two ago whereby the pui'a-
ing might be made large enough u
supply two or three halls. Wf,lcn coui1
