UniOnviIle Viii
Iage in Path OF
a Forest Fire

Bangor No. May "a spe cial from
Ellsworth SAYS:
one of the most disastrous forest fires
in recent years is raging in the lower
Tunk district The lire is nov sweeping
over what is known as "Katharine hHI''
between Chcrryiield and Franklin The
fire has been burning for three days and
the almost incessant high wind has
caused the fire 10 get beyond the con-
trol of the large crew of men employed
in lighting it.
The hamlet of Unionyille is now direct
~ in the path OF the ire. and nothing
but Il change OF wind or u rainstorm can
save IL from destruction Considerable
property in IN" vicinity of .'IIatherine's
hill' has already been abandoned
Thousands of dollars worth of tim
berland and large tracts of less valuable
Arrears have been totally destroyed.
Trenching, the cutting down of trees.
and all means generally employed in
such cases have proved of no avail and
the fire is sweeping eastward at a rapid
rate. The fire is SO fierce and burning
SO rapidly that the smoke and flames
can be seen for miles
AS there are no telephones or wire
communication with Unionville it is i'm
possible 10 find the extent of damage
done during the day. Late in the after
noon advice came TO Ellsworth by way
Of Tunk Camp that the fire was still
raging and had swept close upon settled
property.

the other Nests in the State are Will

Late in March they invited delegated
from all the other Nests in the state
to meet in this city and to suggest q
movement whereby the Nests IA tbe

Local Nest of Owls Has Been
Suspended by Supreme Nest.

not be taken from them. The orders
given Mr.. BOOKER from the Supreme
Nest We're to re. organize and elect new
officers. expelling such members FROM
the Did Nest as were necessary and
place the Nest on a sound and clean
foundation.
Mr.. Booker in an interview with
journal man Tuesday stated that the
Wateryille Nest since it's organization
last August had refused to pay the per
capita tax of 40 cents per year to the
s'dpreme Nest and that $21 had been
collected only through the medium of
a local attorney. At the time of the
organization the local Nest had caused
to be embodied in their bylaws a spe-
cial clause whereby every member of
The Nest would pay to the head Nest
10 cents per quarter OF the Is other
Nests in the state the Waterville Nest
is the only one that feels the weight
Of such tax and has repudiated it.
Mr. Booker throws a large amount
of blame upon the officers and trus-
tees of the Nest and claims that there
are many Owls, who since their unit
ing with the local Nest have paid but
very little money for dues but have
been kept in good standing by the Of
fieers on account of their patronage OF
the buffet privileges.
Mr.. Booker contradiets the argument
used by the local officers in the Owls
that there Is no good derived from the
per capita tax, and stated that the
Supreme Nest. although but seven
years of age, has already started to
build a home for aged Owls. hos
pital and school for orphans of Owls.
Ii was the opinion of Mr.. Booker that
the members of the local Nest thought
little of the fraternal principles Of the
order, but were more inclined to make
IL booze joint" of the local Nest. He
further claims that he has about 90 of
the present members who will unite
with him in his attempt to re-ofsarl-
Liac.
4 meeting Will be held next Sunday,
at which time Mr.. Booker will make
plain his purpose and make clear his
orders from the Home Nest. The cost
of transferring will be nothing TO tho
owls in good standing. He also stat
ed that should the Waterville Nest re-
fuse to surrender the property OF the
lodge, the matter would be taken into
court.
