ers of property suitable for the location

and the assessed valuation.
The sites visited We're the Hon. W.

The Hallowell local team or better
known as the Winners will meet a
team from the Insane hospital this af-
ternoon at $50 o'clock on the Muster
field.
A great deal of interest is centered
on these teams in both cities as it
may be possible that the Hallowell
team may in the future enter the City
League OF Augusta if agreeable ar
engagements can be made as to the
time for games to be called
All players are Hallowell boys and
the citizens should turn out and help
along the cause. Baseball in this city
has for a long time been at rather
low ebb but the interest among our
people is still alive and with little
encouragement the national game may
again be an important factor in The
evening talks among local sports.

some important steps were taken at
the meeting last evening. .,
Reports from different parts Of the
State were received and numerous let
ters read showing the sentiment re-
garding the adoption of the amend
ment. The following statement was
made by the committees:
I'VE are satisfied in believing that
the Initiative and. Referendum amend
ment will be adopted by a very large
and satisfactory vote at the Septem-
Der election. We are Well aware that
there is and will be opposition from
certain interests in Maine to the adop-
ton of this amendment, but the rank
and file of our voters are sure to favor
its passage. Whenever the principle
of the Initiative and Referendum has
been before the voters for adoption in
different states, the vote has been
very largely in it's favor

Portland to Good Will, and return,
passed through this city yesterday

goods for their tramp. Accompanying
the pedestrians was an old prairie
schooner which contained the supplies
and utensils.
In conversation with one of the boys
it was apparent that they were having
the time of their life Although a

intense heat, they were enjoying the
trip. They certainly looked well and
