RIddeford Bank VIII Reopen.

The officials of York County Saw
ings bank at Biddeford expect to re-
open the bank for business October
81. Much work is still to be done in
scaling down the $500 accounts 22h
per cent in accordance with the or
der of the court The officers believe
the depositors will not draw their
funds to such an extent as to make
further legal action necessary. When
asked how much could be drawn out
by depositors without the bank feel
ing the drain, an official said prob
ably 100000" 1t is not believed
however, that any such an amount
will be drawn. The bank will take
advantage of the 90 days notice pro-
vided by law, but 1t will be possible
for the depositors to draw $50 month
L. during that time. A number of
large depositors have said that they
will not only allow their money to
remain in the bank but will add to
their deposits.

Must Have Cows Examined.

A new phase has suddenly come to
the milk situation in Wateryille by
the signing by Associate Justice Will
licm Whitehouse OF a rule OF the Wa
terville Board of Health. making it
compulsory for all cows giving milk
for the local trade to be examined by
tuberculin test, infringement of the
rule being punishable by a fine of not
exceeding $50. The adoption of the
rule comes as surprise To about
20 per cent of the WaterNille milk
dealers, who. acting under the advice
Of their attorneys, had snapped their
fingers in the faces of the local board
and refused to have the test applied
to their COWS. The rule provides that
mo person. firm, corporation. asso
citation or society shall al any time
by himself or his clerk. servant or
agent, sell or offer for sale. or keep
with intent to sell any milk or cream
within the city of Wateryille. or de
liver or bring the same therein for
the purpose OF sale unless the COWS
from which the same shall have been
examined by the tubereulin test or
otherwise sufficient to determine the
physical condition of the COW, applied
by some veterinarian approved by
this board and by the State of Maine
Cattle commission Another section
provides that whenever any conta-
ious or infectious disease exists in
the family OF either n milk producer
or milk dealer. such dealer shall
notify the secretary of the Board of
Health within - hours. ANY viola
ton shall be deemed misdemeanor
ard upon conviction thereof such per-
son shall be punished by a fine of not
more than $50.

Sk0Mhegan Ok Gets Drunk.

The old big OK owned by Roscoe
Bigelow of Skowhegan. whose history
was recently chronicled in the col
un rs of the journal and who hither-
to has been a self respecting God
fearing OK, had a fall from grace d
few days ago, according to the Show
hogan correspondent of the Boston
Globe. who actually participated in a
hard cider drunk The OK was found
by his owner staggering against the
pasture fence, casting up his great
head and showing his bleared eyes.
Mr.. Bigelow was at first at loss to
determine what had happened to the
pride of the barnyard but investga-
ton showed that he had drunk heav-
lily of some old cider that had been
turned into tub by the brook where
the OK was accustomed to drink,
while the barrel which had formerly
held the cider was being cleaned out
to serve as a vinegar barrel.

PULP WOOD OVER 100000 CORDS
Enormous Consumption of Timber for
Paper Making In 1909; Using Hard
wood.

Over 100000 cords of wood were
used in the manufacture of wood pulp
for paper making in the United States
in 1909, as shown by the annual re-
port on the industry issued recently
by the census bureau.
The cost of the Transformation of
the wood, of which there were 4,002 900
cords, was $34,47S,0O0. This was an
increase of about $4,000 cords over
the consumption of 1909, but of only
about $4,000 over 1907. The advancing
cost of pulp wood of all species is
clearly brought out in the report
The total consumption In 1909,
though exceeding that of 1907 by less
than 10000 cords, cost over $4,000 900
more. The cost for 1909 exceeded
that for 1908 to the extent of over
$6,000000.
Probably the most noteworthy de-
'ail in connection with the report Is
the decreased consumption of spruce
in the manufacture of pulp. While
that timber remains by far the most
popular pulp making wood, there has
been a gradual falling off, the per-
centage of that material being CO.'S in
1909; 64.5 in 1908. and 68.1 In 1907.
The diminution of spruce is at
tributed to the increase In price which
amounted to more than dollar a
cord from 1907 to 1909.
A slight decrease in hemlock also
is noted whereas corresponding in
creases have occurred In the con-
sumption of woods heretofore little
used as pulp material, such as bal
sam, white fir, and several hardwoods,
including birch, beech, maple. gum
and Eastwood.
There also has been an improved
demand for white fir which has been
found to be very excellent for pulp
wood. AS much of this variety of
timber is found in the national for
ests. the prediction is made that the
discovery will prove of material bene-
fit to the forestry service.
OF the 2241 900 cords of spruce
consumed in 1909, almost 10000 was
imported.

They are friends to everybody and, as
one sperson expressed it who has
known them all their lives, they are
the most ideal couple he ever saw.

Lumber Operations In Oxford County

The Bethel correspondent of the
Norway Advertiser says that lumber
operations in that section will prob
ably be the smallest for several sea
sons. Only one large contract is be-
ing filled in Grafton. In the lake re-
gion where there is usually SO much
timber cut, very little, it is reported
will be cut this season The pulp
mills seem to have a large supply on
hand and it is said they will buy no
green pulp on the Androscoggin the
coming season. Usually the farmers
along the river in that section put
from 20 TO 200 cords of wood onto the
river during the winter, which brings
in considerable cash and provides
considerable employment in the win
ter season.

A horse belonging to Joseph Car
rier, a Biddeford marketman, was
mysteriously stabbed in the breast a
few nights ago while standing on
Elm street. The wound was six or
seven inches deep, the horse being
nearly dead from the loss of blood
when discovered The only theory
advanced to account for the happen
ing is that the animal. which has a
habit of swapping at people, although
never known to bite anyone, made
motion as If to grab some pedestrian
while passing and that the latter
whipped out a long bladed knife and
plunged it into the animals breast
