Inasmuch as the NorridgeWock line
has been much desired by Skowhegan
people for long time, and as it is
generally belived that it would prove
very much to the advantage of all
sections of Somerset county, some
observations regarding it may be Of
interest.
The rail distance from Oakland to
Norridgewock is thirteen miles with
no stations for the entire distance.
Except for a short section TO the Dod-
lin Granite Quarries, which would
doubtless be maintained for the
freight coming therefrom, this sec
tion between Norridgewock and Oak
land could be abandoned without
decrease in revenue and without any
inconvenience to the people along
the route. There would practically
be a net saving in the cost of main
tainance and operation. A further
saving would be effected in the main
tainance of bridge at Norridgewock,
as the road would keep the northerly
side of the river all the way from
Skowhegan to Madison. The Nor
ridgewock bridge has been recently
repaired at a cost of several thousand
dollars but this is understood to be
temporary arrangement and that
new bridge will have to be built there
in the early future if the Somerset
line is continued, from Oakland direct
TO Norridgewock as now operated.
II is also suggested that, if the Nor
ridgewock Oakland section of the
Somerset is abandoned, the terminal
facilities, yard room and repair shops
at Oakland could be discontinued or
very much reduced, the work being
done there being taken up at Water
vile. The running of through trains
via Waterville. Skowhegan and Nor
ridgewock to kineo would save some
thing in equipment and train crews,
all of which, taken with the foregoing,
constitutes a considerable argument
in favor of the Skowhegan and Nor
ridgewock link, from the standpoint
of the Maine Central.
So far as Skowhegan is concerned,
it is generally believed that the pro-
posed change would be very adyan-
tageous. The convenience of more
frequent passenger train and mail
service could be overlooked, although

Mrs. Martin Gets Divorce.
A divorce was also granted to
Mary Martin of Plymouth,
against her husband, William S.
Martin. The plaintiff was given
custody of the two children, Ed
ward Guy, aged 10, and Walter

The cause for this divorce was
drunkenness and cruelty. Mrs.
Martin testified that her husband
was lazy and shiftless, and drinks
IN excess. That he did not work
to exceed one-third of his time
and forced his wife to work hard
to support herself and children.
That Martin is becoming so ad-
dicted to the use of liquor, that
he is filthy and foul-smelling, and
spends all of his money, and all
of his wife's that he can get hold
OF in drinking. They were mar
ried in Starke county on March
22nd, 1897 and lived together un-
Ill Nov. 9th, 1908, when they
separated, and have since resided
apart.

DOESN'T KNOW MUCH.
In Attempt to NEEDLE in Matter
of High School Annual Edi-
tor Displays Ignorance.

In an article directed at the
managers of THE High School
Annual, which is to be publish
ed by the class of '09 ,of the Ply
mouth High School, the editor of
the Democrat displays his ignor-
ance of the art of printing, and
incidentally reveals what he
would do to the students, if he
could land the contract for print
ing, which has been awarded the
Tribune Office. The Democrat ed
itor speaks of the students being
charged $500 for ELECTRO
TYPES, which should only cost
about $3.50.
Now it is quite probable that
if the aforesaid editor of the
Democrat had got the contract,
he might have charged the stu
dents the sum of $3.50 for electro
types spoken of, in said article.
BUT no electrotypes are going to
be used in the publication, and
if they were, they could be OBJ
tanned for the sum OF so or 60
cents apiece. The Annual
will use a number of half
tone cuts, but no electrotypes.
These halftones are secured di-
rectly from an engraving house
by the students themselves, the
Tribune having no hand in buy
ing the halftone cuts.
For the benefit of the editor of
the Democrat it may be said that
the members of the Senior class
would forego the publication Of
the. annual if the contract was
given to the Democrat. This was
expressed by the class at a meet
ing held at the first of this school
year. While the young men were
soliciting advertisements for the
publication, three business men
of the city inquired if the annual
was to be published at the Dem.
ocrat, and if so, to kindly cancel
their contract for advertising.
1t seems that the students as
we'll as the public, are on to the
Democrat and its editor, A
simple illustration of what might
have happened to the students is
revealed in two bills for legal ad-
vertising, presented to the coun-
ty commissioners for payment
yesterday. The bills were 70,
publishing the same notice. The
bill from the Tribune according
TO the legal rate was $7.25. The
bill from the Democrat was $S.37.
You know the rest. Simply one
illustration out of hundred.

LOCALS WIN
FIRST GAME
SHUT OUT WARSAW CITY
TEAM IN BRISK WIND
STORM.
Score 8 to 0-Clippers Play Nice
Game-Three Double Plays
Pitcher Stars.

The Plymouth Clippers played
their initial game in brisk wind
storm at the local ball park Sun
day, winning from the War
saw city team by the score OF
three to nothing. The Warsaw
team was reinforced by Milford
players, but were outclassed at
all stages of the game by the
Clippers. Middleton starred for
the locals, getting nine strikeouts
against the visitors one, by En-
hardt. Twice the Clipper pitcher
kept the visitors from scoring
with men on second and third
bases, and with only one out, a
score seemed certain. An easy
strike out, and .grounder to
first base retired the side how
ever, and after that, the visitors
did not get the chance. Consid-
ering the strong, cold wind, both
teams played an excellent game.
Only two errors could be blamed
or the wind, and both of these
were made by the locals, in muf-
fling high flyers. The Warsaw
team is credited with seven er-
rors, four of which were made
in the sixth inning, and cost the
visitors two scores. All of the
scores were made on errors, there
being but three hits credited to
each side. The Warsaw team
then lost the game on errors.
The li1eups of the opposing
teams were as follows:
