Quantities of last years pack Of sar-
dimes that have been stored in many
of the cellars about PASSPORT for sew
eral months past are now being
brought forth and shipped west where
they are in demand. 1t will be remem-
bered that the supply of herring was
unusually scarce for most OF the pack
ing season last year and as result
the seasons pack was considerably
lighter than usual in that city and Sec
ton, and it seems probable that most
of the pack will be sold before the
time for the annual sardine canning
season in April This will be of con-
siderable benefit to PASSPORT in general
and the average sardine Gamer who
will expect to start up with limited
CT han nd a demand for the
newly packed fish. In less than two
months the fish can be taken again
for canning and then business opens
here in earnest, while in the meantime
there is little doing for laborers.

In order that the passengers arrlV-
ing at Portland on transatlantic lin
ers will not be detained any longer
than is necessary, the Canadian I'M
migration officials are now boarding
the ships upon their arrival at Hall
fax and are thereby able to make
their examinations during the re-
mainder of the trip to Portland. In
that way the work for the United
States officials is made d great deal
less and gives the immigrants bound
for Canadian points an opportunity
to get away quickly. The first in
spection Of immigrants bound for
Canada was made on the steamship
Dominion which arrived there last
week. and the three Canadian inspec-
tors say that it proved a decided
success.

Mrs. Geo. Douglas of Waldoboro
has quite a remarkable cat. One OF
Mrs. Douglas hens Matched few
chickens last week and Mrs. Douglas
put them in a box behind the stove
to keep warm through the night. The
cat remained in the house unknown
to the family and during the night
took out one of the chickens, carried
it upstairs and put it in bed with the
children. She then took another and
lay down near the stove with the
chicken close to her, but did not
harm either of them.
