WELCOME TO BELFAST.

The Journal voices the sentiment of all
our people in extending to the Boston
business men who are to visit Belfast to-
day hearty welcome. We wish they
might have come little later, when the
magnificent old elms which shade our
streets in summer time are in full foil
age when the lawns have assumed their
velvety green and when the flowers and
foliage plants and vines which adorn the
well kept grounds of the residential sec
zion are at their best AS it is they will
find US in the spring cleaning period-a
time of brush fires, carpet-beating,
papering and painting, and it will be
month or more before Belfast can be
seen at her best; all spick and span and
ready for company. But our visitors
will be welcome just the same, and per-
haps what they see of our city at this
time may induce them to come again
Later, individually if not collectively.
They will see now compact little city
whose business places compare favorably
with those of other cities of its size in
New England; advantageously located,
with an abundant water supply for fire
and domestic purposes, gas and electric
'ty for light and power, excellent trans
portation facilities by rail and water,
free library, three banks, busy factories,
an efficient fire department, and tax
rate that compares favorably with that
in other places. They will see our beau
tifully land-locl,ed bay, but will have no
time for taking the charming drives to
be had in every direction and which lead
20 lakes and ponds where salmon, trout,
bass, pickerel and perch abound, and to
the many delightful inland retreats.
There will be no opportunity to demon
strate to the visitors the culinary skill of
our Belfast ladies, as they have their own
commissariat, nor to exhibit the musical
talent of which our city is so justly proud.
If they could have heard the concert Civ
en- in Memorial hall last Monday evening
they could not have failed to be charmed,
as were all who heard it. In fact. the
time of the visit is so short, the season
80 unpromising, that we can only make
amends for unavoidable shortcomings bv
the warmth of our welcome, with the
hope that our visitors may be induced to
come again.

per cent The normal increase is 5 per

The importations from abroad of raw
materials for March and the nine months
including March are way out of proper

stocking up in anticipation of larger
demand
Of most importance to Waldo County is
the condition of the wool market and the
prospect of free hides in the new tariff
bill. The 1908 wool clip of the country
has already been practically cleaned up
and buyers are tumbling over themselves
in the west to contract for wool on the
sheep. Waldo County will receive several
cents per pound more this year then last.

preventing free hides boom is in sight

Reports received by Labor Commits
sioner Lyons from different sections of
the State indicate that there will be very
few if any labor difficulties during the
coming season, and the outlook for en-
ployment, especially in the building
trades, is very encouraging. The gran
tie business is good at Hurricane Isle,
Vinalhaven, Spruce Head, Mt. Waldo,
Franklin and other places, and the pros
poets are that before the summer is far
advanced the demand for granite cutters
will exceed the supply. Carpenters,
masons and other mechanics are also
looking forward to busy season, and al
together the outlook for labor is very
gratifying.
New YORK, April %, 1909. Among
the good works which marked the re-
cent Lenten season few were more inn
portant than the effort to lead the city's
surplus population to agriculture "a
scheme which is favored by the low price
of the abandoned farms. Why smother
in tenements when houses and lands can
be had at low prices, and on credit, with
pure air and renewed health? To &C
4complish this end an organization has
been formed called the Farm Promotion
Association, and its managers are now
offering such inducements that large
emigration may be expected
This reads we'll, but looked at from
practical point of view is it a ''good
work. to transfer the inmates of New
York slums to the abandoned farms?"
If people born and bred in the country
could not make living on these farms,
what is to become of those reared in the
tenement houses Of a great city if trans
planted to the country and left to their
own resources?
