This is about the same time that II
reached the main river last year
though it started about month
earlier this year. Up until the last
few weeks the river drivers have
been hampered on account of low

conditions are good for driving the
logs. There were 1875 1000 feet Of
lumber cut on the kennebec last win.
ter There are five hundred men EN-.
ployed on the drive this year. The
main drive is at Moose river and II
conditions continue to be as good as
they are now the drive will be al
Skowhegan in August about the time
that 1t arrived here last year.
In the last few years log driyina
has become much easier ON the Ken.
nebec and it is less expensive ant
ever men are employed. 1t was
only a few years ago that to drive
the above number of logs 500 mer
would have been employed. Booms

HESELTON BLOCK
CATCHES FIRE
Upper Story of Building
Badly Burned
A Loss of S1O,OOO.-Origin of Fire
Not known.

A fire visited Skowhegan Tuesday
night when the NJ B. Heselton block,
situated on Water street, was badly
burned through the upper story and
the entire building completely soaked
with water. The fire alarm was rung
ia from box "a at the Postoffice about
twenty minutes before midnight. The
fire had by that time made a big head
way and was coming through the roof.
When the firemen arrived in the build
ing the fire had spread over consid-
cradle territory, in the roof, through
the partitions and under the floors
and the smoke was intense. The
tiremen did credit to the company and
they put up a brave fight. The fire
lasted about two hours and in that
time everything was soaked through
the building and considerable of the
roof in the middle of the block was
burned and several rooms were Quilted
b. the fire.
1t is estimated that the loss is
around $4,000, the greater loss be-
ing by water. This is probably the
'srgest wooden block in Skowhegan
There are several halls in it besides
other rooms. A part of the upper
foor was the old armory hall, and
recently used for temporary occa-
sions. The front was used by the To-
cal order of Eagles for a club room
and hall. The remainder of the up
per floor was used by Mr.. Heselton.
The lower floor was occupied by Mr..
Heselton for his store and by S. Rus
s.koff, jeweler; Loren Sanborn as
pool room and bowling alley, and
Figue & Libby, BARRIERS. The loss to
The building is estimated to be $4,000
1t was insured.
The origin of the fire is not known.
It was first discovered by Reynold
Washburn who lives on the opposite
side of the street and has his studio
there. He was at the time developing
pictures and glancing across the
street saw the fire coming from the
"tof of the block. He rang in the
alarm. 1t was found that the fire
must have started on the East side of
the building on the second floor about
middle way of the block The mem

that the fire was supposed to have
started in has not been used for three
weeks.

The Independent-Repo notes
with pleasure the general feeling that
il was a fair contest, free from any
kind of undue influences. This being
the case there is no room or occasion
for regret on the part of any of the
candidates or their friends. A candi-
cate may come out of contest with
honor, even though not winner, and
the two gentlemen who failed to lead
in the balloting have reason to feel
proud of the way their campaign was
conducted and of the enthusiastic sup
pert given them by their friends.
