Not Like 1908.

With the scare and excitement
caused by forest fires this year money
loss is small compared with that
caused in the six days between June
8 and June 9, in 1908.
In that period 294, 142 acres of the
most valuable woodland in the State
was burned over, causing a money
loss of $1,050,66 In addition one
village, Sherman, was completely de-
stroyed.
With single exception the record
of forest fire losses between June 3
and in 1903, was the greatest in the
history of Maine. This exception
was that Of October, 1925, In the east :

Cracks in the F loor.

Sometimes on very old and cheap
floors large cracks, due to warping or
splintering are found These cracks
can be filed, according to writer In
Suburban Life for October, with a
paste made by soaking blotting paper
in water and mixing dissolved glue
with it. a little puverized whiting
added to stiffen the paste will increase
its value. Pound and knead this to a
stiff paste, and add, if necessary, a
little coloring pigment to initiated
wood. Apply this to large cracks,
working it in with putty knife and
smoothing tine surface off even with
the wood This pasie Will not shrink,
nor is it affected by neat or cold.
With the old Or new floer thus prepar-
ed, the surface is ready tor treat ment
with oil. wax or Varni-h.

MEETS DEATH UNDER
FALLING TREE
HARRY TUTTIER, BETTER
KNOWN AS DUTCH CHAR
LEY" INSTANTLY KILLED
AT BRIX CAMP, GRAY'S BAY.

Harry Tuttiei. for many years ia
miliarly known as Dutch Charley,
was instantly killed by the topping
Of an old and decayed stump Of tree
yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock.
He was employed in the Brix camp at
Gray's Bay on the north side Of the
river The body was brought over to
this city last night and taken to the
Pohl undertaking rooms.
According to the story told of the
matter by Tuttier's companion, who
at the time was engaged in cutting
down tree a couple Of hundred feet
away, the dead man probably never
knew what had struck him. The de-
cayed snag was about 30 feet in
height and what caused it to fall just
at the moment it did, when the woods
man stool directly in its pathway, will
never be known Tuttier was stand
ing on log, and the snag struck him
squarely. His head and body were
crushed.
For many years Dutch Charley"
has been familiar figure around the
camps along the river. In Cathlamet
he was we'll known He had been Of
a saving and thrifty habit and leaves
quite tidy sum of money, it is un-
derstood. He was 81 years old, and
as far as is known leaves no rela-
tives in this country. His aged par
ents, to whom he frequently sent
money, are understood to be stiR
alive in their old home in Germany

Marine Memoranda

The bar tug Wallula will come off
the drydock at St. Johns on next
Tuesday and by one week from to-
morrow will be ready for sea duty
again.-It is said that Captain Nit
chell has changed the name OF his
Young's Bay ''boneyard" and now
calls it the Bryan; but his col
leagues, the captains of the other
schooners up there, say that if the
mere fact OF Bryan's running for
Office is good cause for naming a
boneyard after him, his defeat will
warrant the use OF his name for a
cemetery; but Bryan" it is, and so
it will remain, till the bunch comes
out OF retirement.-The schooner

by the Keating launches Pilot and

be dressed and lighted for regatta
purposes during the coming water

Brand New Scheme

One OF the prominent features OF
the regatta has been improvised by
w. R. McBeth. Ii will be Kanga-
roo court in which prominent citizens
will be brought before the court and
fined for some trivial offense. Mr..
McBeth has selected c. J. Curtis as
Judge Advocate and Millard Har-
desty as sheriff. The court will be
held on the evening OF the last day
of the regatta and jury trials will be
in vogue. This promises to be one
of the most amusing part OF the pro-
gram and will elicit considerable
amusement and entertainment for
those in attendance. The Kangaroo
court will be conducted along the
same lines as all courts and with the
officers selected will prove to be one
OF the most important features OF the
regatta. Prominent citizens will be
arrested for some trivial offense and
can demand a jury trial ii they wish,
but the judge has promised to soak
all offenders to the full limit. Don't
fail to visit the Kangaroo court on
the last night OF the regatta. John c.
McCue will operate as district at
torney.

STREET WORK BIDS
ARE ACCEPTED
REASONABLY LOW TENDERS
MADE FOR IMPROVEMENTS
ON KENSINGTON AVENUE,
ASToR AND THIRD STREETS.

Bids OF street improvements on
three thoroughiares were opened by
the streets committee on the com
mon council in the Office OF the city
auditor yesterday afternoon. and in
each case the lowest bid was accept.
ed as being a satisfactory one,
On the proposed Improvement OF
Kensington avenue. iron Eighth TO
Eleventh street, two bids wer sub
mitted, as follows; w. A. Goodin,
$500. a. r, Foote, $4,000; the city en-.
gineer's estimate Tor this work being
'$5057.o0.
On the Astor street improvement
Sixth to Eighth street, two bids were
submitted, as follows: Z. A, Gerd-
ing, $500 and John w. Welch, $3.50;
the engineers estimate being $sl3S.s0.
On the Third street improvement,
from Commercial to Astor, three bids
were submitted, as follows: f. A.
Gerding, $3.50; Mcclure & Jameson,
$l245; John w. Welch, Sl355; the
engineers estimate being $l275
1t will be noticed that in the case
of each lowest bid accepted it was
fairly near to the estimate made by
the city engineer, Mr. Tee. The bid
for the Kensington avenue improve
ment was several hundred dollars
higher than the estimate, but it was
that it was reasonably fair
and the best that could be done. The
first time that bids we're advertised for
on Kensington avenue all were reject
ed, the lowest bid then having been
$3.50, the lowest bid of yesterday be
ing over S400 lower.

A Bad Piece OF Work

There is a radically bad piece Of
street work being done on the
Twenty-second street improvement,
between Exchange and Commercial
and which, from all accounts, is not
chargeable to the constructor. The
laches is in plain sight OF every citi-
zen who will take the time and
trouble to be on the spot there at low
water; at which time he will l see a
lot Of fine, new, solid bents laid along
the tops OF sawed-of piling that was
not cut far enough down to escape
the rotten element that made the
job necessary, and if it is allowed to
stand as it is, will have to be thor
oughly and safely repair in very
short time, to the further annoyance
and cost Of the abutting property
owners. The contractor, it is said,
went to the proper authorities when
he found that his l0-foot standards
were not long enough to cover the
distance between the road bed and
the sound timber under water, but he
was told that the measurements had
all been taken and that the lumber
had been cut, and to proceed with the
work. There is no excuse for such
work, wherever the fault may lie, and
it is too conspicuous and at too
prominent a point in the traffic Of the
city to escape general notice and
comment. 1t is directly beneath the.
railway curve that connects CONNER
cial and Twenty-second and in plain
view of every passer-by. A score of
people noted it yesterday.

SOME MOTOR RACEtS
UNDERWAY
ASTORIA FRAMING UP SOME
MARINE BEAUTIES THAT
WILL SHOW RECORD-SMASH-
ING QUALITIES.

Down at the Driscoll Brothers
snug bodybuilding establishment on
East Exchange street, in this city,
there are all sorts Of things doing to
the pleasant end of setting up, and
knocking down, motor-boat racing
records on the Columbia river, during
the tendency of the coming regatta.
And from the looks of the three hne
craft underway there, there will be
something OF that sort doing, for
certainty.
There is a craft on the ways at
Driscolls' that has the appearance OF
a gigantic green lead pencil, so sharp
and narrow and keen built is she; she
has no name as yet, but if she tries
out to suit her designers and builders,
they have a name up their sleeves
that will fit her to dot. She is So
feet long, with a beam of only four
feet long, and a midship draft OF three
feet. She will be equipped with a
80 horsepower Doman engine, which
is expected to drive her up in the
"twenties" anyway. Her engines are
the same as are in the West Butte
now, and after the regatta season they
will be put back in that fine boat and
the new craft equipped with a set OF
her own.
Neal Driscoll is just finishing up a
beautiful 20 horsepower motor racer:
to be named the Edith" charged
with a fine Roberts engine of high
speed pattern. She is u feet in length,
FIVE feet beam and two feet draft and
is due to do from lS to 20 miles on
her trial trip next week; and she is
nicely balanced and constructed up
to lust such time and distance capa-
city.
Paul Trullinger is working faithful
" on a dandy little racer, the Merry
Widow" canvas decked, low-built,
and carrying a fine E horsepower
Russello engine just turned out at the
Scow Bay Iron Works, which will
drive this 10 foot marvel in good
when it is let ut She is 10 feet long,
three feet and four inches beam, and
but a foot deep inside; has a 2O-inch
wheel and the ardent young builder
looks for anything from Il to 10
miles when he tries her out.
Skinch II is just being finished off
in elegant shape at the R. M. Leath-
ers' yards and when she takes to her
normal element she will be the very
handsomest thing ahoat in these
waters, and will not be any to the bad
in the records made here. She is 81
