ton.
The harbor master at Bangor finds
that the coal receipts at that port,
reckoning 10000 or $1,000 more tons to
come. will fall short about $1,000 tons
from last year when about 2So,Vo IONS
came up the Penobscot. This short
age is easily accounted for by the dl-
vcrting of considerable coal for North
,rn Maine points to Mack's point,
Scarsport, where it is loaded directly
OH Bangor & Aroostook rails. Lime
also figures as a heavy item of the
commerce Of that port, 1,126 casks
having been handled, all i'll small

The great growth Of the French
population Of Lewiston is shown not
only by the proposed erection of
3o-room parochial school building to
accommodate the children Of the city,
but even more by the talk that is be-
ing made of the need of the forrla-
ton Of q new parish and the erection
of 4 new church building near st.
Mary's General hospital. 1t IS but
about four years since the original
st. Peters parish was divided and
new one formed in the lower part OF
the city, with the new church OF st.
Mays but now the two churches arc
hardly sufficient to accommodate the
people. The French people We're for
mcrly confined to the lower sections
OF the city, but in recent years they
have been spreading out, buying small
farms in the suburbs.
