FIFTY MILLION TOOTH.
PICKS A DAY
Over in Strong, Maine, Thousand
Cords OF White Birch Ire TO be
Turned into T00thpicks.

This is to be the output OF the Chas
Forster estate at Strong this winter,
and for nine hours a day. over fifty
men and about forty women are la
boring necessarily to accomplish this
object
The demand for the finished product
is excellent and the management is
unable to keep up with orders, being
behind by three carload lots besides
numerous smaller orders. The tooth
picks made in Strong, are shipped
practically to every civilized country
on the globe.
For two weeks ending Jan. 9th,
the daily output of one machine on the
first quality picks, was about three
million and the total daily output of
that quality averaged about 80 mil
lions during that time. The average
daily output of the 2B, or second
grade, was about 20 l-2 million cut
by , machines. 1t required about ten
carloads of birch daily to feed these
machines. The price for the birch is
excellent, as the company pay SIC per
cord for No. !, and IS per cord for
No ?. During the fortnight above
mentioned 81 individual orders were
received, five being carload lots, an
other for 500 strapped cases and a
third for 40S cases strapped y in
bundle for foreign shipment.
Besides the busy atmosphere hover
ing about the toothpick mill, there are
u two-horse teams hauling lumber
and birch from Day mountain. making
two trips each day, this birch and
small lumber is all put on board the
cars at Strong station.
At Starbirds mill in the upper part
of the village the winters saving has
begun. Three million feet OF lumber
is expected this winter and al pres
ent 20 two-horse teams besides several
oX-teams are engaged in hauling logs
to this mill and boards from the port
able mill of +. p Nutting.
The lumber business in Strong and
vicinity never Was better than this
winter, and the outlook is excellent for
several seasons 10 come.

An old friend among the sea gulls
is frequently sighted by people along
the Portland water front. The Port
land Press says: All the people down
along the water front are almost on
speaking terms with the big fellow,
There is no mistaking him. for he has
a broken leg which hangs down in a
very conspicuous manner when he
is flying through the air. lust how old
the bird is, nobody knows, but about
five or six years ago, he was first no
ticed. The fact that the leg hung
down then brought him TO the atten-
ton of the people on the wharyes.
When the fish days came and there
was much offal thrown overheard, the
big gull always came in with the rest
and Toasted on the good things. After
a while, those on the wharyes began
to look for him Since first noticed.
the broken-legged gull is always look
ed for when the gulls head into the
harbor and he is always watched
while he is flying about During the
past week, when there has been much
ice drifting about the harbor, the gulls
/ have been unusually numerous They
have perched on the ice and drifted
down stream Then they have flown
j back to perch on some other piece OF
/ ice. These pleasures have been denied
the broken-legged bird but he has
settled himself in the icy water. wholly
unmindlu OF the frgidity of the Gle
ment.
