cents. To reserve a seat for the season costs
81 extra, or checked the day before the lee

''He was great and could go from the sublime
to the ridiculous with greater ease and rapidity
than any one have ever heard" The press

| THE DESTRUCTIVE DoGFIsH. Word comes
from Washington that Commissioner Bowers
| of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries is contempla-
ting putting bounty on dogfish. That has
been advocated for long time, and unless
something is done soon in that direction our
shore fisheries will be destroyed. At time
when Congress was expected to take action the
schooner Henrietta Francis, then owned by
| George A. Gilchrest, was laying idle at this
port and Capt Henry Staples proposed to fit
her out and with a crew composed entirely of
sea captains sail for wholesale slaughter of
dogfsh. These dreams of wealth were rudely
shattered, however, by the inaction of Con-
gress. Now that the U. S. Fish Commissioner
| threatens to do something there does not seem
to be any craft at this port available for Capt
Staples and his crew of captains. The Bill
Slater and the Maggie Mulvey are idle, but are
| too much attached to their present berths to
venture upon the raging main.

HANDLING A SIX TON IRON KEEL. For a
year or more big chunk of iron had laid be-
side the road near the Macomber boat shop on
Front street 1t was originally the keel of the
sloop Mallard, and when Leroy Coombs began
the work of Transforming that craft into an
auxiliary it was removed and became the prop
erty of Capt. M. L. Pendleton. The Mallard
was built in Chicago for use on the GreatLakes,
was brought east later and owned for time in
Bangor, then was sold to Boston parties, and a
few years ago was bought there by c. R.
