Shall Gardiner Be Favored
With Share Of Them?
Board Of Trade Will Discuss
This Important Matter
At a Meeting tuesday Evening,
April IL, in K. Of P. Hall. I +:

Shall Gardiner have neW Industries ?
That is the question which Mill be
discussed satassnfeeting oEtae Gardner
Board Of aTrade,Ato which all citizens
are invited, the meeting to De neld in
Knights of Pythias hall next Tuesday
evening. April IS.
The significance of the occasion
means that, after having enjoyed a
short period Of rest, during which time
many minor matters have been dis
posed of but no big project launched,
the Gardiner Board of Trade is once
more to step into the arena and put up
Il battle for the betterment of trade
conditions in this city.
The recent Board of TRADE banquet
was a great success, but there is Il ten
dency at such occasions of the discus
sion creeping into academic channels.
That will not be the case at the pro-
posed meeting of the board. On this oc-
casiOh it IS to be a heart-tO heart talk,
man to man. business interest to bust
ness interest, practical experience
matched with practical experience.
What are. we going to do about it?
That will be the next question.
At present, in addition to it's other
industries, Gardiner has two shoe fac
tories 1t was said at the recent banr
uuet of the Board of Trade at the
Johnson House that the shoemaklng
industry flourisheS best in communities
where there are considerable num-
Der of firms engaged in the business of
shoe manufacturing. The more the
merrer and the more the better is the
motto In this way better shipping ia
cilitias are secured, and the problem of
securing competent help is rendered
much easier In addition to all this a
community of interest is established
among the various firms which results
in great variety of benefits.
Gardiner wants more factories, or
perhaps it should be stated differently
Gardiner wants more factories. or dill
ferently still-Gardiner wants more in
dustries.
In securing the industries which Gar
diner already possesses the Gardner
Board of Trade is the holder OF a
proud record. Any citizen shudders al
most when trying to imagine just what
the condition of affairs would be to-
dav if an energetic board had not TAX
en- IN charge the task of building up the
city. New il is the purpose of the far
sighted business men who are at the
head of the board to still further adj
vance the. interests of Gardiner, The
meeting next Tuesday evening VIII be
to discuss ways and means and the
Journal is Informed on good authority
that Il the usual interest is shown ana
if the board is backed by the same SOL
id public sentiment which it has re-
in past years. something very substan-
| tai will result.

ELECTRIC RAILROAD NOTES.
Much Interest in Problem of Findin
Entrance Into WaterviIIe.

General Manager Harry B. 1vers of
the Lewiston, Augusta & WaterVtlle
Street aRilway was in the city a short
time Tuesday on his was to Water
vile. to be present at the street rail-
way hearing which was held that even
ing by the Watervilc city govern
ment The problem Of the railroads.
finding an entrance to Watervile is of
great interest to people of this vicinity
whose business calls them to the up
river city At present the terminus
of the railroad is the Ticonc bridge
at Winslow and the passenger is
forced to alght and walk across the
bridge, after which he has to traverse
an unsightly portion of the city before
reaching Main street.
An additional difficulty which causes
some inconvenience to passengers is
the necessity of backing the cars about
a mile, from a point below the power
house on the Sebasticooll to the term-
nus of the line. The reason for this
is that the new-style cars are sup
posed to be run in only one direction
for long distances, and when the man.
agement of the, road purchased Them
they supposed that they would have
a circle terminus at WaterTille. This
they will eventually have, but just at
present the cars go onto a ~" below
the SebasticoOk, and then, with the
passengers craning their neckS TO
watch the landscape in front of Them
traverse the mile between the ~ and
the end OF the road
1t should be stated, in justice to the
management of the Lewiston, Augusta
& Waterviile Street aRiwlay, that tn ~
are doing the very best they can to
remedy the difficulty, and that they
will let nothing stand in the way of the
convenience and comfort of the pub
lie; but it is a matter which does not
concern the people of Waterville alone,
and the citizens of Gardiner, who are
interested in having travelling facilities
of maximum efficiency, are hoping that
that matter may have speedy and
satisfactory adjustment

Millinery Openings.

This is the season of spring hats as well
as spring sunshine and spring showers,
and accordingly the milliners of Gardiner
have done their best this week to make
a display that shall be to the satisfac-
ton of their Gardiner patrons. All the
prevailing blues and green's are seen in
profusion, and the new shapes were han
died in an admirable way.
A fine display of millinery, and one
that called forth many words of admira-
tion was that to be found at the store of
Mildred +. Eastman. The opening began
Saturday and continued until Tuesday,
but many fine hats are Still on exhibit
ton and purchasers will still find many
excellent bargains in strictly up-to-date
creations. At this store are a great pro-
fusion of very beautiful designs, all in
exquisite taste and strictly in accord with
the prevailing fashion. .ti. ,. ).
The Easter millinery opening of Victo-
ria J. Tyler was very successful and
crowds visited the store A large num7
Der of hats of the very latest pattern
are still to be seen, and late corners may
still be sure of obtaining the best of sat
isfaction. Trimmed hats, toques and bon
nets, in the justly popular colors of the
present season, rival the best work of
Boston milliners. There has been a great
demand this week for the special trimmed
hats at bargain prices.

HOME FOR CHILDREN.
Much Interest Being Shown in the
Project by Gardiner People.

The attendance at the meeting of
the Gardiner w. c.. r. u. Tuesday at
ternoon at the home of Mrs f. L. Har-
riman, Spring street. was good. One
of the important matters which was
considered by the ladies was that Of
the new temporary home for children
which is projected under the auspices
of the unions of this section of the
State. This home is one of the most
worthy of the various charitable enter
prises which have been launched if
Maine for a long time. Just now the
ladies would be grateful to anyone who
would donate home, but it is thought
that there will be no royal road even
to this good thing, and they are pre-
pared to labor hard to secure the nee
cssary funds for the renting or pur-
chase of such home. AS q matter
of fact work along the line which the
home will do is already in progress
under W. c. T. U. auspices, but a
permanent location is necessary for
it's greatest success.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Quarre! Over Marbles Is Aired-Twc
Men Up for Intoxication.

It might have been a juvenile court
over which Judge J. NJ. Larrabee was
presiding Tuesday morning had one been
allowed to form an opinion from all the
appearances The principal case for trial
was that brought on complaint of S. Bait
Ter, father of Abel Batter against Ar
mold Laskey for assault and battery on
his son. 1t was the old story of a quarrel
over a game of marbles for keeps" In
a dispute which resulted during the
course of the game the Baitler boy, it is
alleged, kicked the Laskey boy, and the
I.askey boy struck the other lad in, the
face, breaking his nose. A finding of
rot guilty was agreedsto. and it is under
stood that a damage suit will be brought.
Will G. Atkins appeared for Baitler and
George w. Heselton for LaSkey.
In addition to this case the cases of
two DRINKS occupied the attention of the
court. A Richmond man. who had been
at work in the woods and while on his
way home, had stopped at Waterville,
where in some manner he secured enough
of the ardent to put him in a blissful
state of mind. was on trial. He left a
Maine Central train at Gardiner and at
once mace nlfnSell OBNOXIOUS anu WAS
locked UP in the police station. The man
was released by Judge Larrabee upon his
promise to return at once to work on the
drive. but Tuesday afternoon he again be-
came intoxicated and was arrested sec
ond time. He will doubtless find that it
will be useless to appeal to the clemency
of the court this morning
The second case was that of Gardi-
ner man. who was allowed to depart upon
the payment of his fine of s65l, which in
cluded costs
