WELL the Democratic Levy Court
Of Keut County means business
after all, and is getting right down
10 practical results. At its meet
ing this week it passed a resolu-
lion Increasing the cost of feeding
the prisoners in the county jail from
twenty-five cents to thirty cents per
day. The Republican Sheriffs did
fairly well financially boarding the
prisoners at the former figure, and
now in the face of professed reform,
the Democrats just as soon as they
are given power, restore the flesh
pots for a rich scraping. The Re
Publicaus having purged them
selves, will have to take over the
re.us Of government again to effect
true reforms.

Chickens Stolen at Redden.

The chicken houses Of Postmaster
Jacob West and Station Agent Clark Hill
at Redden, were entered on Wednesday
night of last week and more than one
hundred fowls taken. The owners of the
fowls traced three men who reside in
that section to a store about four miles
distant, where the chickens were sold.
After the sale they made their escape.

For the sake Of precedent, and
for the welfare Of Dover, we hope
that her Town Council will not
back down from the attitude they
took relating to putting the wires
under ground. The poles are un-
slightly, the wires dangerous and a
nuisance in time of a great FIRE.
Dover is building a great system of
sewers, and will put down fine
street paving, and if the town can
afford to do this, the public utility
companies should be compelled to
40 their part in assisting to beauti-
~ the town from which they draw
their sustaince. Put the wires under
ground, even if it does cost several
thousands of dollars.

THE Kent County Levy Court i:
attempting to creep around the
good roads question, and inciden-
tally attempting to save to the var
ious members of that body the
patronage they would have enjoyed,
by distributing the special funds
raised half by the district, and the
other half given by the State, to be
dispensed under the direction OF
competent engineers or supervisors.
Their resolution adopted last Tues
day requiring all members, who
have expened this particular fund,
to make itemized returns Of what
they did with the money, so that
their accounts may be audited by
the Levy Court, will not help the
cause any. All the money given by
the State must be expended by
authority Of a State official.

Peaks Island during the past six

superb tract of land known as Green

formation. In cut We will
insert next week the plan of
the Peaks Island Circus. Mid

place must be seen to be appreciated.

carpet. shaded by trees and in full
view of the Harbor. there have been
erected In surprisingly short time

which will be present the whole sea-
son; circus swings; fortune teIlers.
booths, etc. and a Midway. which
contains twenty-one concessions built
in most modern style.
The general plan OF the Garden is
to furnish amusement and recreation
for young and old at small admission

Midway. band concert. etc. are
yours to enjoy to hearts content and
one additional nickel admits to the cir.

be shown. Everything fs eIecfrfcaIlx,

for all who come. though that probably
means many thousands more than
would ordinarily visit Peaks In the
season. The enterprise has been
somewhat costly but Mr.. Stevens OF
course knew II would be when he be-
gan and his Judgment as to the feast.
bility OF the plan seems now proven.
You can feel the impulse OF the crowd
that Is coming already. The Green

The Casino.
MAINE COAST REALTY COM.
PANY's PROJECT ON LITTLE
DIAMOND ISLAND.
Dining Rooms, Dance Hall, and Sun.
Heated Sea Water Baths Open
To Public July First.


Heated Sea Water Baths Open
To Public July First.
The magnificent casino which the
Maine Realty Company has built on
Little Diamond Island will be thrown
open to the public on July first. This
Is an absolutely unique project. and
deserves detailed description.
The main dining room is sixty by
forty feet and will accommodate one
hundred and fifty people Over this
is another room the same size which
can seat as many more. This room
has a smooth waxed floor and can be
cleared for dancing. There Is a
twelve foot verandah around the front
and sides which can be set with tables
when occasion demands. In all, the
casino can furnish shore dinners for
two hundred and fifty people. The
kitchens are modern in every respect,
and every device has been installed
which will facilitate the work of car
ing for large parties.
The most original feature of the un-
dertaking is the Aquarium. A cement
walled tank, fifteen by twenty-five feet
and six feet deep has been built in
front OF the casino. An ingenious ar
rangement Of valves keeps the water
continually fresh, and all varieties or
fish can be kept alive indefinitely and
taken out when needed.
The bathing privileges are unex-
celled anywhere Part of the little
natural cove near the casino has been
walled of by cement wall and ar
tihcially warmed sea-water can be
pumped in to bring the pool to a con-
Portable temperature for bathing. The
pool is over 100 feet long and is deep
enough for diving. The bathhouse
has fourteen large rooms and is
equipped with fresh water shower
baths
Parallel with the steamboat pier a
landing float runs out $50 feet from
shore at which yachting and motor
>s<sat parties can lasd-r Is = .
naphtha launch belonging to the COM
pand lies at the pier ready to take
out parties for fishing or pleasure
trips around the bay.
There Is an elaborate water supply
system to furnish the casino and cot
tages with running water. Near the
casino Is a small power plant consist
ing OF 10 II. p. gas engine directly
connected with Kilowatt direct
current generator. The electric cur
rent Is taken across the island where
1t operates a powerful pump which
takes the water from three deeply
driven wells and drives 1t up into
the reservoir on the highest point on
the island. This system cost nearly
$4,000; the concrete lined reservoir
sunk into solid rock cost alone over
1920.
There are over twenty-five fine cot
tages on the island owned by the Com
pany, all of which have the most lux
urious modern appointments and con-
veniences. For the convenience OF
tenents the Company has established
a grocery store in the rear OF the
casino. which carries a complete line
OF provisions. This store will be ably
managed by Mr.. Lincoln A. Payne.
The oyUers and tenants OF cottages
are entitled 20 all bathing privileges.
The Maine Coast Realty Company
are to be congratulated on their won

JOHN AND BILL
PITCH WELL
(From Sundays Advertiser.)
1t. Louis 3-Punahou 0.

In a game marked by several good
plays and general listlessness the
Saints put it over the Puns yester-
day afternoon at League park to the
tune of three to nothing The score,
however, rather UNDERSTANDS the differ
ence in the playing of the two teams, the
game put up by st. Louis being much
more classy than the efforts of the
displayed by the ball players was
matched by the stolid indifference of
the small attendance, which displayed
about as much excitement as one would
expect to see manifested over a game
tiddledywinks. The bleachers were
absolutely empty, while the scatter
ing of people sprinkled over the grand
stand was enough to discourage any
ball player with an eye on the gallery.
st. Louis proved much the faster
and surer; Punahou was characterized
by exasperating slowness and lack of
team work. This, however, was prob
ably largely on account of the i'm
promptu makeup of the team. Sew
eral changes have been made and sew
eral of the men appeared to be on
anything but familiar terms with their
positions. More practice and work
together will undoubtedly remedy this
evil and better work may be expected
of the boys in coming games.
Both Hampton for the Puns and
John Williams for the saints pitched
good ball. Neither gave base on
balls and the hits they allowed were,
except in the Saints half of the sixth
Nj
The three runs made by st. Louis came
as the result of we'll punched hits in
the sixth, one of them a wo-bagger
by Bruins, aided and abetted by a
disastrous error made by Lemon who
was playing second. AS a result, En-
Sue, Bushnell and John Williams can
! tered across the pan, the only ones
to make the full circuit during the
game.
McCorriston played a good game be-
hind the bat for the Puns,N though he
was bit slow in getting after the
fouls. Otherwise his work was unex-
ceptionable. The stick work of Hughes,
right-fielder for the Saints was I'M
usually good, and the substitution of
Aylett in the sixth failed to make any
Improvement in the team, the big boys
being too eager to punch holes in the
cmpyrean with the horsehide to care
where it fell when it came down. Nc
Call at short for the Puns was about
the fastest member of the team and
evidently knew the exact location of
the initial sack.
! Strike.outs occurred with frequency,
Williams having ten to his credit.
Hampton, however, got but one. Two
good double plays aroused the specta-
tors to momentary enthusiasm; Jimmy
Williams made pretty running one.
