The Woman's Hospital Aid.

The annual meeting of the "Woman's Hos
pital Aid" was held in the class room at thu
hospital Friday, JAM 18th. Mrs H. H. Johnson
pres, presided. The routine business was fol-
lowed by the reports of officers, which are
given herewith as per vote of the society:
THE PRESIDENTS REPORT.
To the Officers and Members of the Woman
Hospital Aid:
In our Bv laws there is wise provision
which limits the service of president to one
year. and as my term and responsibilities cease
today, wish to say few words to you before
retiring.
At the beginning of the year the legislature
deemed it expedient to cut down the appro-
priations for all charitable institutions. The
Waldo County General Hospital comes under
this classification, and its many loyal friends,
realizing the necessities and needs of an insti-
| tuition of this kind, have come generously to
our aid. Their support has not only helped US
in material way, but has given us new cour-
age and a feeling of security. The receipts
for Donation Week far exceeded those of last
year. showing the increased interest which is
felt throughout the county.
The sewing circle is doing good work, and
the meetings are profitable and enjoyable
Not only all of the hospital sewing and mend
ing is done by the circle, thereby materially
reducing hospital expenses. but substantial
sum has been earned by outside work.
earnestly hope that many more will join US in
this practical and helpful service.
The secretary's and treasurers reports will
give in detail the work of the year; work.
am sure, which will be most gratifying to all
who have the welfare and success of the hos
pital at heart.
wish to thank the officers and members for
their unfailing courtesy and helpfulness to me
during the past year, and also to express my
appreciation of the fathfulness and labors of
the various committees. We regret exceed
ingly the loss of Miss Marshall our efficient
superintendent whose helpful advice was
great inspiration to US. but we realize the
larger opportunities of her new position. and
earnestly wish for the same gratifying sue
cess which she achieved here
With heartfelt thanks to all friends Of the
Waldo County Hospital whose efforts have
made possible the success of this year, and
with confidence that the same generous sup
port and encouragement will be extended to
us in the work of the future, am
Respectfully,
MRS. H. H. JOHNSON, President.

SHIPBUILDlNG AT BATH.

While the past year was not very
busy one in Bath shipyards the impress
sion is prevalent among builders and
owners that the coming year will tell a
cheerful story. The improvement in
freights and the early opening of the
Panama canal, will, it is believed, bring
about good demand for tonnage and
that means business for Bath. The list
of vessels launched in the Bath district
for the past twelve months is as follows:
Schooner Lydia Mcclellan Baxter, built
by the G. G. Deering company, 1852
tons, hailing port Bath.
Steamer Merida, built by the Kelley,
Spear company, 628 tons, owned by the
Atlantic and Caribbean Navigation COM
pany of Wilmington, Del.
Steamer Moosehead, built by the Bath
Iron Works, ,teel, 677 TONS built for the
Maine Central Railroad company.
Yacht Elithro, built by the Bath Mar
inc Construction company, % tons, built
for j. R. Robinson, Jr., New York.
Yacht Hesperia, built by the Bath
Marine Construction company, 81 tons,
built for Chester A. Congdon, Duluth,
MINI.
Barge Helen, built by the Kelley,
Spear company, 1885 tons, built for the
Commercial Towboat company of Boston.
Schooner Montrose w. Houck, built by
the G. G. Deering company, ll04 tons,
hailing port Bath.
Scow Ruth NJ. built by William H.
Crooher, IA tons, hailing port Bath.
Schooner Edward 4. Smith, built by
Frank S. Bowker & Son, sos tons, built
for Rogers & Webb of Boston.
Barge Fall Rever, built by the Kelley,
Spear company, 1859 tons, built for the
Staples Transportation company of Fall
River.
In addition to these the Bath Iron
Works have launched one torpedo boat
destroyer and have three more under
way. They have also built the frames
for steamer for the Congo river route
which will BE- put together and COM
pleted there. Kelley, Spear company
has two 100 ton barges underway and
Percy & Small have a 1000 ton four
master about ready to launch.

THE CLAN DIGGER.

l know the flats and weedy beach,
Every bar and scallop bed,
Every cove and shallow reach
From harbor mouth to harbor head:
For two short hours of the day
The channels share their wealth with me
From the last ebb of the bay
To the first rush from the sea,
This is my day; what other men
Can barely do in thrice the time,
Must l accomplish only then,
Dug from the oozing channel slime.
fear no wind nor breakers roar.
No cold, no storm can hold me back,
row out daily from the shore
Through darting flaw and icy pack,
To dig on silent, frozen sands,
Where bitter winds strike sharp and deep:
Ii sh the face and numb the hands
And chill the very heart to sleep.
But underneath. a mighty band,
Six inches down, awaits my wish,
The countless treasures Of the sands.
My clans and yellow razor fish.
My riches need no lock or key,
A friend, all-powerful and tried,
Keeps watch upon my stores for me,
Covers them deep with eddying tide;
Sobs underneath my cabin floor.
Creeps close beside me in the night;
Greets me each morning at my door,
Controls my work, my time. my sight.
Here is my home, here will stay,
And ever near, the tide and l,
Will work together, till l die.

New Railroad to Quebec.

The directors of the Rangeley Lakes &
Megantlc railroad have voted to com
mence the construction of line from
Oquossoc, the present terminus of the
Portland & Rangeley division of the
Maine Central railroad, to kennebago, a
distance of ten miles. Work on the pro
posed line will start as soon as the con-
tracts are let. 1t is believed that event
ually the line will be continued to Megan-
tic, where connections may be had with
the Canadian Pacific, giving the Maine
Central direct connection from Port
land to Quebec.

Maine Quarries Lose.

Maine quarrymen lose contracts of
over $500, 900 owing to the decision which
the secretary of the treasury made that
Vermont granite should be used in the
construction of the new Washington city
postoffice. The secretary believed that
the white Vermont stone would be more
in keeping with the architectural har-
mony of the Union station which is the
next building, and worth the difference
in the cost of $95, 900.

Fire at Maine Central Institute.

Tuesday morning, Jan. 9th, fire was
discovered at the new dormitory at Maine
Central Institute. For some time differ
ent ones had noticed the odor of burning
wood and it was not long before the fire
was located around the smoke flue under
the dining hall floor. 1t was necessary
to cut through the floor, and the fire was
put out without calling out the fire de-
partment. 1t was most fortunate that
the fire was discovered as soon as it was.
