A SPLENDID CHANCE
But No One Seems to Land These
Moose, Over in Winslow.

Several parties Of hunters have
started out from this city and Wins
low in the past few days. on a hunt for
two bull and a COW moose, which en-
boldened by success IS, are moving
around freely among the cattle on the
farms around Winslow and even using
the public roads. Many persons by
reason of their employment are COM
PEELED to get home late and they do
not feel at all comfortable in the
knowledge of these moose roaming
around in their vicinity and would
gladly receive word of their death. Mr.
Patterson, the milkman. is so anxious
to be freed of their presence as to offer
suitable reward to the successful
hunter, for he is compelled to be out
early and late and does not relish the
prospect of meeting them.

potato house for Gardiner is at
last being realized. After some talk
on the subject a Gardiner man has at
last started work building a house.
William NJ Wood is the man and he
has started in the business Of buying
potatoes. 1t will be a private enter
prise with him and he will buy only
for himself. A crew of men are at
work building the store house, which
is located just below the Maine Cen
trail freight sheds. Mr.. Wood expects
it will be completed a week from
Saturday The building is to be IS feet
by 40 feet and 10 feet high. 1t will hold
between 10000 and $1,000 bushels.
The building will be so arranged that
the potatoes can be dumped into the
interior from the two upper ends. A
shute will be arranged at the other
end so that the potatoes can be loaded
right into the car. The building will be
papered and boarded outside and
sheathed inside to make it frost proof.
The potato crop in this vicinity is
getting to be a large one and a potato
house has been talked of for some time.
Now that one is reality the growers
will have a place to bring their pro-
ducts when the travelling is good and
that there will be at least one more po-
tato house built in this section within
a short time.
