week, Fred Dodge of islesboro and he was tried

cluding owned by F. S. Jones of Reading,

BELFAST IN 1869 AND 1912. In Tuttle's
photograph studio are to be seen two inter-
esting photographs. The first, taken from the
grounds of the late F. G. Whites home on
Primrose Hill, shows Belfast and Penobscot
Bay as it looked in 1869, while the second
taken from the same place, gives the same
view as it is in 1912. The contrast is very
striking and the growth of the city in the in
tervening 43 years is well demonstrated. One
feature in the contrast, however is quite re-
markable. In the first picture the wharves
are lined with shipping, while in the second
there is almost total absence of sailing ves-
sells. This difference is, of course, largely due
to the building of the railroad into Belfast.
