OLD JAIL REGISTER IS.
FILLED
Ancient Volume Has Been in Service
More Than Tw0-Thirds of a Cen
fury.

Sheriff John A. Mooers received Oh
Friday new jail register to take
the place of the venerable volume
which has been in service since 1872.
In this book is recorded the name of
every person committed to the Jail,
his place of residence, date of arrival
cause of commitment and the name
of the official authorizing the con-
finement The date of release and
the reasons therefor are also record
ed in due season.
During the SO years that this old
book has been on duty, 3175 persons
have gone behind the bars for
greater or less period of confine-
ment This total would make the
average as commitments per year, or
80 during the two year term of a
high sheriff. The figures might be
construed as indicating that Somer-
set county had grown strangely wick
ed late years. Sheriff Smith had 243
prisoners under his care during his
second term, and Sheriff Mooers has
had over 290 since he took the of
fee.
Jophanus Harrington of New Port
land had the distinction of christen-
ing the old register Feb. 2, 1872. He
was committed by Judge Gould for
larceny and did thirty days. At
the end of that time he gave a note
for $33 20, the costs and fine taxed
against him, and presumably went
back to the world wiser and better
man. The first liquor case was num-
bered Al, and the offender was Jo-
siah P. Churchill also of New Port
land. He was committed Mar. 6,
1916. The first drunk was locked
up March % of the same year. The
last case to be entered was Edward

enjoyable in recent years, and moth
ing that could add to the pleasure and
comfort of the visitors was left I'M
done. The hall was especially decor
ated with the national colors. The
forenoon was spent in telling stories
and renewing old friendships. At noon
the veterans and their ladies formed
in line and marched to the dining
room on the ground floor, where an
old-fashioned baked bean dinner was
served by the women of Seth Hutch
ms G. A. r. Circle. The tables were

BUSINESS is GROWING.
Adams & Burns Are Working Over
time in Wood Working Establish
ment.

Under pressure from rapidly accu-
mulating orders, Adams & Burns be-
gan Thursday night to run their
wood working establishment on Main
street overtime. Since the firm be-
gan business four years ago. Mr.
Burns says they have never had
conditions like the present. The
building boom now on in Skowhegan
has so stimulated the demand for
house finishing, that the shop is
handling from eight to ten thousand
feet of lumber per day, and still fall
ing behind on the orders. Mr.. Burns
was a native of Skowhegan, but work
ed in the building trades in Mas
sachusetts some fifteen years
before returning to the place
of his birth. The senior partner of
the firm is an experienced mill man,
and was formerly interested in the
business of Adams & Caswell on the
island. Their shop is equipped with
several styles of planners, and saws,
three lathes, mortising and finishing
machines, and drill presses and
grinders. About fifty horse power is
used to drive all these machines, and
the leading output is house finish. In
addition there is a large business
done in the manufacture of picker
sticks, cant dog handles and wagon
materials, besides repair work and
custom turning and saving. The
firm began business in very modest
way, but took such good care of their
patrons that the growth has been con-
slant.

Short address by Rev. A. E. Rob-
erts. The next matter to come up for
discussion was the feasibility of unit
! ing with the 32nd Maine Regiment in
these reunions. This proved to be a
matter of much interest and it was
finally decided to instruct the secre-
tary to invite the 32nd Maine to join
with the 3lst in their next reunion
and it is probable that the two asso-
Citations will unite in the near flu
ture.
The following officers were nomi
