| Summer people who visit the lower
New Meadows section this summer
will find quite a change there. Jerry
| Murphy, often called the king OF
Malaga Island, having experienced re-
ligion is working for the conversion of
the other residents of the island and
the place which for years was head
quarters for short Holsters is now far
different. Between the good work of
Jerry and the lObstermens' union there
are no shorts handled there these days
The schoolhOuse on the island is used
both as q school and church and ser
vices are held almost every night. Mr..
Murphy conducts many of the services
and Coast Missionary Lane also takes
charge of occasional meetings. On
July Jerry Murphy is to take about
40 from the Peoples church in Bath
down to the island in his launch and
there they will hold an all days SER
vice.
The longest trolley ride over the
Portland railroad system and it's con-
nections without going further than 16
miles from Monument Square was taken
recently by w. H. Smith, a conductor
on the Munjoy Hill line. He covered a
distance of 100 miles. it requiring 10
hours and 10 minutes to cover that dis \
lance. The cost Of the trip, using
transfers whenever possible tOtaled
$165. 1t required several days for Mr..
Smith to make up a schedule so that
he could make close connections with
the cars and not cover the same road
| twice except in a very few instances
for short distances.
The Moosehead Lake Yacht Club
has just completed one of the finest
club houses to be found on the inland
waters of Maine. 1t will probably be
opened early next month. More than
the name suggests the Moosehead
Lake Yacht Club will be the center of
summer life at Kineo-in fact, a coun-
try club having in charge not only
motor boat races, but golf and tennis
tournaments, fishing and water sports,
shooting matches and all the varied
events of the kind that contribute to
the excitement and pleasure of the
o,~lyy tote rrrt11 h..
Northward Ho Golf Club, and the Kin
60 Pistol and Rifle Club by absorbing
their activities. With entertainments,
dances, dinners, teas and card parties
the new club house will be the import
ant center OF the Kineo social life.
Portland Advertisers: Who will sit
in the forty dollar chairs which have
been ordered for the county court
house? This question has been asked
by many people. Somehow the idea
got abroad that the county commits
sioners were to provide costly chairs
for the accommodation of the usual
array of DRINKS and disorderly persons
in the municipal court room but this
is a mistake. The chairs are for the
accommodation of the men who go to
court to get the DRINKS released, not
for the DRINKS themselves. They will
be forced to occupy hard and ordinary
benches. Their comfort will not be
any greater in the municipal court
room than it has been in the old one
in the ruins Of City hall. The $50
chairs in the supreme and superior
court rooms are destined for the use
of the lawyers who assemble within
the bar. These chairs are none too
good for the legal talent Portland can
provide. The furniture is all made
from special designs provided by the
architect of the building. 1t would
never do to furnish such magnificent
building as this is to be with any or
binary furniture so the county will
provide the very best. The contract
has not yet been awarded but the only
local bidder was little higher in his
price than others and so the contract
will not be local one. The county
commissioners are not figuring on oc-
lcupying the court house much before
the first of the year, if it is then ready
for occupancy.
A howl is being recorded at Peaks
Island on account of the automobile
invasion. The auietude Of that peace
full island has been broken by the au-
tomobile. Speeding over such roads as
Peaks provides causes clouds of dust
which blows all over the island and
many cottagers are kicking about it.
They even threatened to invoke the
precedent established by the Legisla-
ture in the Bar Harbor or rather the
Mt. Desert island exclusion act
Calais people who read in the papers
about smart old men and women,
smart old twins, and 50 on, have to
smile, as they are aware that right in
Calais is man "a years old who steps
out each morning with his ship car

when there is a vessel to repair This
man is David Redman of Center street,
Calais. His step is as elastic as that
