Cohurn is to have one of the finest
athletic fields in the State of Maine.
This is assured in an announcement
made by Principal stevenson III oe
half of the trustees, who nave Jus.
completed the purchase OF large La
of land, and have already begun the
work of undertaking ana srauihs.
The tract of land acquired by Co
burn lies on the west bank of the Mes
salonskee stream, opposite Winter
street. and is only 2200 feet distant
from the school buildings. A pridge
will Immediately be constructed across
the Messalonskee at this point.
The plans for the athletic field COM
prise the laying out of football and
baseball fields, tennis courts, quarter
mile running track, and the construc-
ton of a suitable grandstand. Not all
of this can be done this year, but the
football and baseball fields will be
completed Immediately and made as
nearly perfect as possible. They will
be laid out with especial reference to
securing well balanced grounds for all
athletic contests, when funds shall lat
err become available for the construc-
ton of a running track and grand
stand, as it is hoped will be found pos
sible next spring.
An arrangement has been devised
which, it is thought, will make possible
from single grandstand a satisfactory
view, not only of football and baseball
but also, of all the field and track
events. Thorough undertaking will
render the grounds dry at all times and
make it possible for the teams to be-
gin work early in the spring. The
baseball diamond is to be of turf, a

WORKING ON CANAL
CONCRETE BUILDING

Engineer Bostaph of the Davis &
Weber Counties Canal company visit.
ed the workings of the canal FRI
day and found things to be in quito a
satisfactory condition. The company
has complete force of concrete work
ers on the canal and they are laying
about rs yards of concrete each day
1t Is expected that by the time the
water Will have to be turned into the
canal, about May l. one mile OF the
canal Will be concreted
The weakest points In the canal are
being strengthened with concrete. The
engineer states they have had consld.
cradle difficulty in doing this work. In
places the mountain side Is so steep
and porous that, In some instances.
the hill has moved toward the canal
fully three inches during twenty-lour
hours time This breaks the cement
before IL has time to set and hold the
great mass of earth in place. The
plan of reinforcing the concrete with
heavy steel rails at short distances,
though. Is thought to have overcome
the difficulty. and tho work Will now
progress moro rapidly than 1t has In
the past
