About two years ago when having

eral years was the pastor of the church
of the Messiah, of Portland, is soon to
leave for Japan to take charge of the
Universalist mission.
Williams Dean Howells has recently
sent a check for s25 for the new car

sooTH6AY HARBoR NOTES.
Many New Cottages Planned-casino
For Capitol Island.

Capt Newell Gray Of Southport Is
land. Boothbay Harbor, who had been4
in the city for the purpose of appear
ing at hearing before one of the Leg
islative committees, left for home on
Train Ga Saturday forenoon. Capt
Gray is well-known to Augusta peo-
pie who pass their summers at South
port as well as at the other resorts in
that vicinity as one of the most sue
cessful shippers about the harbor
In speaking of the coming season
at the island Capt Gray said that in
dicatiOns were very promising for a
busy summer with quite lot of build
ing. Several cottages are to be built
at Cape Newagen at the lower end of
the island, and while there is no steam
boat landing there at present there is
probability that wharf will be built
in the lower Horne cove, on the east
shore of the island and about opposite
the lower end of Squirrel Island. Capt.
Gray reported that the snow in that
section was nearly gone.
Augusta people who pass their va
cation days at Capitol Island will be
interested to learn that there is a pros
pect of casino being built on the IS
land during the coming spring, and
that a meeting of the directors OF the
Island Association win soon be held
for the purpose of taking action in the
matter. The island already has a good
bowling alley but it is lacking in the
possession of place suitable for dane
ing and other amusements, and the
building of a pavilion would supply
these needs. A location which has
been mentioned for the pavilion is the
grove just north of the spring.
A great deal was done in the way
of cleaning up the underbrush on the
island last summer, under the direc-
ton OF Pres. Charles Swift of the as
ISOLATION, he himself taking an active
part in the work, and with good re-
suits, and it is understood that the
work will be continued this season,
the result of which will be increased
beauty to the island in general.
