The hall is used as, dining room for the

handsomely decorated with paintings of former

find ourselves in another quadrangle, known
as the Canterbury Quad This is surrounded
by dornitories on three sides. while on the

has been arranged and is under the
charge of Mrs. F. P. Abbott of Saco,
Chairman of the Art Committee. 1t is
a Maine collection, in the sense that
all the artists have worked in Maine,
and the pictures are largely Maine
subjects. Especially attractive are

of Patterson, n. j., are strongly i'm
pressionstic and effective, and she
has also series of exquisite chalk
drawings. Miss Zaidee Morrison Of
whose artistic accomplishment Skow
hegan people are justly proud, has
contributed a number of her more re-
cent portraits and sketches. 1t is
expected that Charles Woodberry,
who is called by many the finest ma
rine painter of America, will also be
represented. In addition to the paint
irgs, fine collection of original
etchings has been loaned by Freder
ick Keppel & Co., of New York. Mrs.
Abbott, to whom Skowhegan. is in
debted for the opportunity of seeing
these choice pictures is an enthusi

hoped that all our visitors and all of
our townspeople who can possibly do
so will inspect this collection, whic l
will be open to the public during
Thursday and Friday. All are well

FRESH EGGS IN WINTER.

The poutryman who can supply
fresh eggs in winter, when prices are
high, has tremendous advantage over
the one who through ignorance or neg
lect has to wait until sum ner, when
the supply is large and the price low.
Not everyone can do this, and no one
can do it unless he takes proper care
Of his fowls and gives them food con-
taining the essential producing in

the hens can supply themselves TO a
large extent in summer. There is no
material better fitted for this purpose
than Pages Perfected Poultry Food"
George +. Tanner of Springfield, VT,
has used and sold this food for many
years, and he speaks from experience
when he says, in a recent letter: For
several years | have sold and used
Pages Pefected Poultry Food and do
not hesitate to say that think IT is
one of rhe best foods on the market
to make hens lay. Shall be pleased to

against man who was standing mo-

with sharp exclamation, vanished
into the gloom. Boyd lost no time in
gaining the plank runway that led to
the dock and, finding an angle in the
building, backed into it and waited.
From his momentary glimpse of the
man as be made off he knew that he
was tall and active-just the sort of
person to prove dangerous in an en-

correct there must be others close by.

by the first Of July.
For some time his tin machines hat
been busy night and day turning out
great heaps Of cleaning cans. while
the carpenters and machinists com
pleted their tasks. The gill METERS
were overhaulng their gear the beach
was lined with fishing boats. On
their dock great piles Of seines and
drift nets were being inspected. Three
miles below Big George with picked
crew and piledriver was building the
fshtrap. 1t consisted of half mile
leads" or rows of piling. capped with
stringers upon which netting was hung
and terminated in hearts" 'corrals''
and "spillers," the intricate arrange
ments of webbing and timbers out of
which the fish were to be taken.
AS for Boyd the fever in his veins
mounted daily as he saw his dream
assuming concrete form. Always he
found Cherry at his shoulder, unob-
trusive and silent for the most part,
yet intensely observant and keenly
alive to every action. She seemed to
have the faculty of divination, know
ing when to be silent and when to join
her mood with his, and she gave him
valuable help, for she possessed a
practical mind. One day when their
preparations were nearly completed a
foreman came to Boyd and said ex-
citedly:
BOSS. I'd like you to look at the
iron Chinks right away"
whats up?"
II don't know, but something is
wrong" A hurried examination show
ed the machines to be cunningly Grip
pied; certain parts were entirely miss
ing while others were broken.
The iron Chink. or mechanical
cleaner, is perhaps the most ingenious
of the many labor saving devices used
in the salmon fisheries. 1t is an awk-
ward looking, yet very effective con-
trivance of revolving knives and con-
veyors which seizes the fish whole and
delivers it cleaned, clipped. cut and
ready to be washed. With superhu-
man dexterity it does the work Of
twenty lightning like butchers. With
out the aid of these iron Chinks Boyd
knew that his fish would spoil before
they could be handled. He FASTENED
to George Bait. A half
hours run down the bay and he clam
bered from his launch to the pile
driver. where, amid the confusion and
noise. he made known his tidings. The
big fellows calmness amazed him.

were up stream"
so they are. can't tell what

A half hour later, when the new
lotilla had come to anchor short
distance below. Emerson's companion
began to swear.
II might have known it."
"What?"
Marsh aims to cork us"
'What is that?'
Hes going to build a trap on each
side of this one and cut off our fish"
Good Lord! Can he do that?"
Sure! Why not? The law gives us
600 yards both ways. AS long as he
stays outside of that limit he can do
anything he wants to-"
Then of what use is our trap? The
salmon follow definite courses close to
the shore, and if he intercepts them
before they reach us-why, then We'll
get,only what he lets through"
THAT'S his PLAN" said Big George
sourly. IT'S an old game, but 1t don't
always work. You can't tell what
salmon will do till they do it. I've
studied this point of land for five
years, and l know more about it than
anybody else except the Creator. If
the fish hug the shore, then we're up
against it, but / think they strike in
about here; that's why | chose this
site, We can't tell. though. till the run
starts. All we can do now is see that
them people keep their distance"
The lead" of a salmon trap con-
sists of a row of web hung piling that
runs out from the shore for many hun
dred feet, forming high, stout fence
that turns the schools of fish and leads
them into cunningly contrived inclo-
sures. or pounds" at the outer ex-
tremity, from which they are
''brailed" as needed. These corrals are
so built that once the fish are inside
they cannot escape. The entire struc-
ture is devised upon the principle that
the salmon will not make a short turn.
but will swim as nearly as possible in
straight line. 1t looked to Boyd as
if Marsh. by blocking the line of prog
ress above and below, had virtually
destroyed the efficiency of the new
trap. rendering the cost of its construc-
ton total loss.
That evening when he had seen the
night shift started Emerson decided
to walk up to Cherry's house. for he
was worried over the days develop
ments and felt that an hour of the
girls society might serve to clear his
thoughts.
Cherry's house was situated a short
distance above the cannery which serv-
ed as Willis Marsh's headquarters, and
Boyd's path necessarily took him past
