THE EASTERN S. S. co.

Payment of Dividends to be Resumed
This Fall.
The restoration within single year of
the Eastern Steamship Co. from bank
ruptcy to condition of prosperity-a
prosperity which will permit of the re-
sumption of dividends next October-is
one of the most remarkable achieve
ments in financing that has been accom-
plished in New England in recent years.
It was only last September that the plan
of reorganization was announced. In
about three months the receivership had
been terminated and now, seven months
later, the company is in sufficiently
strong position to warrant dividend
payment.
The company's assets comprise approx
imately $4,5OO,00O of steamship and
wharf property. AS against this there
are outstanding 81, 452, 900 of first mort
gage five cent bonds, which leaves a
property value back of the 100000 of
outstanding stock of something over
$2,0OO,O00, or the equivalent of $66 per
share for the stock as against present
market price for the same at $67 per
share. The net earnings in 1908 amount
ed to seven per cent on the company's
stock and the expansion of business since
then has been sufficiently great to war
rant an expectation of an income better
than eight per cent for the current year.
Up to the first of July the net income
showed gain of $40, 200 over the CORE
spending period last year and this, too,
Notwithstanding the fact that mainte-
nance charges were increased fully S10,-
900. The company's property is all in
excellent condition, fully so per cent of
it's fleet being made up of steamships
built within the past five years.

Temperance Work Needed.

In letter to the Temperance Record
Frank w. Gowen of Waterville says:
"What is needed in Maine today is for
our people to throw their whole heart
and energy into earnest and honest tenn
perance work so that our whole territory
can again be swept by an old fashioned
temperance revival, and with all due re-
spect to the Christian Civic League, of
which am a member, the Anti-Saloon
League and other temperance orders,
yet / do believe that one of the most eff
ficient instruments in improving the
habits of our people morally, socially and
politically would be in giving them again
the Good Templars lodge room in every
section of the State, filled as in previous
years with whole families made up of the
highest type of manhood, and the noblest
specimens of womanhood. We must
teach the rising generation in Maine to
have true convictions on the temperance
question, and there is no better place to
bring this about than in our lodge rooms.

GEAR CHANGING.
1t is the Bugbear of Autoists.

In driving up grades it is a common
practice with many drivers to stay in
the highest gear as long as the engine
will develop enough power to keep the
car moving. This is distictly bad prac-
tice, declares a well-known driver in an
article on Refinement in Automobile
Driving" which is published in August
Recreation. A motor, when so taxed
runs by a succession of powerful blows;
these impose strains on the whole car for
which it was not designed, and they soon
play havoc with the mechanism. More
over, if the car is light in proportion to
the engine power, it will progress by a
succession of jerks corresponding to the
motor blows. The proper moment to
change gears on a hill is not when the en-
CINE begins to labor, as many instructors
claim-it is then too late. The proper
time is when the speed has dropped be-
low rate at which lower gear would
drive the car with the engine running at
it's most favorable speed. This moment
comes very much before that at which
the engine will labor and is matter of
feeling.
When changing gears on hill the
change is made from high to lower
gear. This is the most difficult change
for the beginner, that from low to a
higher gear being considerably easier.
The reason for this lies in the fact that
the primary shaft in the gear box (mean-
ing the shaft directly connected to the
clutch) runs at lower speed than that
which the secondary shaft (the shaft d.
rectly connected to the wheel-driving
mechanism) tends to give it. This shows
that to facilitate the gear change it will
be necessary to keep the primary shaft
revolving at the highest possible speed.
For this purpose the engine should be
speeded up by means Of the throttle,
while the clutch is only slightly with
drawn and the gears pulled out Of mesh,
the three operations being practically
simultaneous. The gears can then be
slid to the lower speed with ease, and
the clutch let in fully again, quickly, al
though without jerk. The complete Sc
quence of operations has to be gone
through quite rapidly to be really sue
cessful, especially considering the fact
that the car is going up on its own mo-
mentum and loses speed very quickly
while the clutch is out of engagement.

Plover and Snipe.

Open time on plover and snipe began
August LIST, but as that date came on
Sunday this year it was unlawful to kill
the birds before Monday morning. AS
but few of the birds have been reported,
however, in this vicinity, it is not likely
that the slaughter will be very heavy:
Plover migrate early in the season and it
flock in preparation for their long jour
ney southwark. The early migration
makes the shooting season a short one
and by the first of September there will
only be few stray birds left. Flowers
breed in the open fields, and according to
sportsmen who have hunted them, never
alight in trees and keep clear of the
woods. Snipe frequent the marshes along
the streams and lakes, and while they do
not furnish the sport to the hunter that
the plover does they are sought for in
their season. Bangor News.

FOR FLETCHER'S
Q ASToRIA
WOOD WASTE DECREASING.
What Massachusetts, Brush Manufacturer
Discovered in Maine.

What Massachusetts, Brush Manufacturer
Discovered in Maine.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 9. The
waste wood heap continues to diminish
and pass away. A Massachusetts manu-
facturer of brushes recently made dis
covery in Maine which supplied him with
material exactly suited for his purpose.
He went to the Pine Tree State to buy
wood for the backs of hair brushes and
the handles of shaving brushes, and
CHANGED to visit the yards of a spool
maker who was using white birch. The
spool man took the white part of the
wood only, and was throwing away the
red hearts. Thousands of cords had been
burned or dumped in the lake to be rid of
it. The red hearts were exactly what
the brush maker wanted, and at little
more than the expense of freight he
supplied his factory.
This is typical of the trend of manu-
featuring. Waste of wood is still great,
but it is decreasing. What one factory
cannot use, another turns to profit. For
merly mills threw away half the forest
tops left in the woods, sawdust dump
ed in streams to pollute them and destroy
fish, slabs burned in perpetual bonfires,
and defective logs and low grade lumber
abandoned as not worth moving.
This policy does not generally prevail
now. Some mills have put in machinery
to work up their own by products; others
sell their waste to manufacturers who
can use it, as in the case cited in Maine.
The properties and uses of woods are
now subjects of careful investigation,
and the problem of turning to account
the odds and ends and the by-products is
brought more to the front now than for
merly.
This United States Forest Service has
taken up this study in a comprehensive
and!systematic way. Investigations of the
woods of particular States are being con-
Quoted, usually in cooperation with the
States concerned. The plan, when fully
carried out, will include every CONNER
cial wood in the United States, not fewer
than 200 species. The properties of each
will be investigated, its hardness, tough
ness, elasticity, durability, weight, fuel
value, size of trees, regions where
grown, the common names by which it
is known in different localities, and other
matters of this kind. A history of the
woods uses in the past will be given,
and an account of present uses; together
with suggestions for wider range of
usefulness in the future by pointing out
in what capacity it will serve best and be
most valuable.

| Springfield is situated on the top of the
Ozarks, and we have but one small stream
which runs through the city, called the
Jordan. During most of the year it is a
very small stream, but month ago we
had heavy rain about seven O'Clock at
night, and by ten o'clock the Jordan had
overlooked its banks, filling the Easements
of several Of the wholesale stores and
other buildings lying close to it. The
Central Hotel had about three feet of
water in the office, as did several other
offices. A few small buildings were
moved from their foundations and car
ried away. The estimated loss at the
time was about $500, 900; mostly sus-
tanned by the business houses which lay
near the track of the Jordan The Frisco
depot had about two feet of water in the
office.
The street car company is planning
large improvements and extensions with
in and without the city limits. An inter-
urban line is projected, to run from
Springfield to Carthage, distance of 70
miles. At Carthage there will be con-
nections with the line running to Webb
City and Joplin.
We had fine crop of delicious straw
berries and blackberries. We are now
enjoying the luscious fruit of the peach
tree. The grapes are ripening slowly,
and the apples are also ripening. The
corn crop is looking fine, but at the pres
ent time is needing good rain; and for
tunately the predictions and indications
are both quite favorable for the needed
showers.
The winters are usually too mild to
make us much natural ice, but we are
favored with three ice plants, and owing
to a competition between dealers we get
ice at Is cents to IS cents per hun
dred, and the wholesale consumers for &c
cents. Water is free, and by digging or
boring to depth of twenty or thirty feet
we are favored with good supply; but
in city the size of Springfield the water
is hardly safe to use, so most of US use
water from the city water works, owned
and differed mainly by Maine people,
Mr.. West of Portland, Me-, is president
of the company. Those of US who have
meter pay Is cents per LOCO gallons.
Whether we use it or not, however, we
are compelled to pay $500 per year. Be-
fore putting in meter my cost for water
was $500 per year, without the privi-
lege of hose for watering the lawn.
l expect to save seven dollars this year
and use good deal on the lawn.
A few personal friends who will re-
member the writer may be interested to
hear that personally business is good,
steadily on the increase; nearly treble
what it was three years ago. l am glad
to say also thatI am able to attend to my
share of it. W. H. w.
