who is feeble and decrepit, wander
ing aimlessly in the neighborhood of
her home on Green street. She called
up Marshal Baxter. who sent an Of
fetal to look out for the man. He
was found trying to ascend the steep
hill on Sherwin street and was in a
weak condition. He had no money,
but his pockets were filled with
cookies which he had evidently begged.
He was taken to the station. In
telling his story, which was decidedly
erratic, he claimed to have wealthy
relatives who would be willing to pey
his board at whatever place he chose
to stop. He claimed Pittsfield as his
residence. The first selectman of the

hearing the description of the man and
his story, requested City Marshal

Conditions of Log Driving

There is increasing harmony be
tween the log-driving and the water
power interest on the Kennebec river,
largely through the efforts of the Ken
nebec Water Power Co, mutual or-
ganization of the water power users
on the river. The kennebec Log
Driving Association has controlled the
drives on the Main kennebec River
since about 1880. The two other
most important similar organizations
in this basin are the Moose River
Driving Co. and the Dead River Driy-
ing Co.
In the last few years driving las
become much easier on the kennebec
and it is less expensive and fewer
men are employed. During 1910 a
crew of 500 men brought down The
springs drive of 125000,000 feet,
where a few years ago the quantity CT
logs would have required 500 men.
Booms have now been hung at differ
ent places on the river to prevent
jams. Lodges have been blasted and
many of the places where log jams
formed that have cost a great deal of
money to remove have been cleared
and booms fixed SO that this trouble
is now avoided

NEW FIRM LOCATES HERE.
Old Established PawnbrOkers to Move
Frcm Washington to
Alexandria.

The old established firm of E. Held
erheimer, who have been located IN
Washington for ~ years, has made all
arrangements to move their business
to Alexandria. They have leased the
store on King street between f. War
fields drug store and the First Ma
tional Bank which they will occupy on
March 1st.
a license was granted to them yes
terday. A number of alterations will
be made, in the building so as to pre-
pare it for the extensive loan business
Of the firm.
The move on the part of Mr.. Held
enheimer is due to the passage of an
act by Congress limiting the interest
to be charged by pawnbrokers in
Washington to one per cent per
month. This practically means that
the pawnbrokers will be driven out Of
business in the capital city as it is a
we'll known fact that the average ind
vidual loan so small that the cX-
penses incident to the handling Of the
collateral and the insurance of the
necessary papers cannot be paid from
this rate Of interest
While Mr. Hiedenhimer expects to
do most of his business with residents
of Washington he is pleased with the
prospects of business in Alexandria.
The firm of Heidenheimer has a
splendid reputation in Washington for
fair dealing.

Thin Ice Forms Across River Last
Night MercuryDown to

.- ~ b. =.
The weather last night was colo,
and the brisk northwest wind kept
the streets comparatively deserted.
Ice formed across the Potomac. 1t
however afforded no impeachment to
navigation and was soon broken up
by the steamboats,. The mercury at
an early hour was lowering around
the Is mark.
The temperature yesterday averaged
below the freezing point, the ice thick
ened in the cutters, the wind whlstled
keenly around corners and everyone
who had an overcoat buttoned it up
tightly before venturing into the
open.
At an early hour this morning a
young man, apparently asleep, was no.
| ticed on a platform in front of bar
Der shop, on the north side of kne
street, near Lee. Later he stretched
himself out as unconcernedly as if in
bed. He was aroused by passeroy
when he arose and strayed across the
street, and subsequently moved out
of the neighborhood. Early risers al
first supposed the thoughtless man hat
frozen to death during the night, arc
| a report to that effect was circulated
about the city. No one seems to have
been able to identify the man.
