Chadbourne Pattee. was given a de-
1ightful Kitchen Linen shower last
night at the home of Miss Flor
ence Colcord in Bay View place. Owing
to some real April showers several of
the members of the Thimble Club, un-
der whose auspices the affair was Civ
en-, were unable to be present. After
social hour the guests enjoyed cob
webb hunt and Miss Mowry found at
the end of her webb a parcel contain
ing many useful and handy articles of
kitchen linen. The remainder of the
evening was employed by the young
ladies hemming the linen and as Il re-
suit the BRIDE to-be found many at
tractive glass. china, towels, busters
and many other bits of linen which
will be very useful in her new home.

Pattershall, arrived Friday afternoon
from New York loaded with Lehigh-
Portland cement, of which 1910 barrels
will be used by the II. p. Converse Co.
of Boston in the construction of the big
sardine factory for the Lubec Sardine Co
on the property recently leased, south of
the lower bridge AS soon as possible the
work of construction will begin and the
contract states that the building shall be
complete in so days from start. At the
next meeting of the Belfast city govern
ment the question of new road from
the west of the railroad track near the
plant will be discussed and the mayor
will ask that a committee be appointed
TO ascertain the land damages and the ap-
proximate cost of construction of such
road, to extend through tffe dock to Front
street. This would be of great advantage
as all heavy teaming in that part of the
city and that which crosses the bridge
would thus avoid the hills The building
of such a road would necessitate heavy
Il
and the possible removal of the Holt
house. With the exception of the Holt
house. the other property along the road
would be of increased value and it Is not
expected that the damages would be
great. 1T is also thought that the removal
of the ledge would cost but little as ar
rangements could doubtless be made with
the sardine company to take the material
for filling in at it's plant.
