judges of the municipal courts/in the
several cities and towns in the county
may sentence male persons convicted
of drunkenness, vagrancy or non-sup-
port in those courts to Imprisonment
and labor on the county farm, instead
of in the county jail or III any house
OF correction.
Probation Officer Smith explained to
the delegation that there is always a
class of drunkards in every large in
dustrial center and there are several
who after serving Il term in Jail will
be at liberty but a short time before
they are again in the institution. one
half of the inmates of the Jail at All
burn come from some other section
than Androscoggin county. While the
men are employed in the workshop at
the Jail they would be better off physi-
calIy if they had outside work to do
on a farm as is contemplated in this
! bill. The county farm would be bet
ter for the individual and would be
! better for the tax payer. 1t would be
good idea TO put men to work on the
| roads
Questioned by members of the com
mittee. Mr.. Smith stated that the
county commissioners made contract
for $1,000 per annum for a concern to
run the workshop and that the lease
would not expire until 1915.

Spring and Easter Bring
Optimism In Trade Condition.

New York, Feb. Bradstreet' :,
tomorrow, will say: Events Of the
week have been mainly favorable. IN
dustry has been fully as active as
heretofore noted, and the feeling is
that while far future requirements are
still under repression, the earlier
Easter season and the nearer approach
Of spring, with It's promise of in
creased outdoor activities contain
much of hopefulness TO trade Gistri-
hutton generally. A rather backward
condition as to collections is still noted
the country over and fair to SLOW
about characterized the tendency in
this regard.
Among the industries the lulu in de-
mand for iron and steel noted some
weeks ago has not been unweIceme.
Mill operations are active, and there
is a fair quantity of new business of
fering. There is little more inquiry
for pig iron for distant deliveries. The
railroads are reported to have bought
$4,000 ears, since Jan. l. Shoe manu-
facturers are busy in New England
but business in heavy shoes is hardly
up to the average.
In the East. retail dealers have been
liberal, buyers of novelty wash fab
rics, and it is reported that summer
underwear is scarce. Some of the
larger dress goods mills are well book
ed with orders for the fall season, but
the smaller plants are not so favor
ably circumstanced. The situation as
regards cotton goods is healthy. job
bers of woolens and worsteds are ac
tive and well employed, notwithstand-
ing labor troubles in the making up
trades. Linens and silks are active

over the interest of the lodge to the
selectmen of the town on condition
that it be given free to the use of TEN
perance meetings. He further explained
that the building was badly i'm need Of
repair and that it was not of a pecu-
MARY advantage to the town to hold
it, He said that the odd Fellows want
ed tho right of the town SO as to keep
the building in repair and il necessary
TO build an addition for the accommo-
dation if the lodge.
l.. 3. WaldrCn appeared in oppoSi-
ton to the BILL calling attention to the
fact that there was soon to be town
meeting at which the matter could be
put up.
Benedict Mdher of Augusta appeared
fer a bill to incorporate the Kennebec
Realty Co. He stated the demands Of

Penobscot Indians Want to
Establish Their Own Ferry.

The only matter of interest coming
before the committee ON judiciary,
Friday afternoon, was the act author
izing the Penobseot tribe of Indians IL
establish and maintain Il ferry at
Old Town.
Peter W. Rance Of the Penobscot
tribe, Senator Richardson of Penob-
scot, and Rep. O'Connell of Milford,
appeared in favor OF the act and J.
Frank Davis of Old Town mildly OPP
posed it because it would prevent the
present ferrHman from copIeting the
term for which he had been appointed
and provides no compensation for the
boats.
The Indians, said Rance, are Writ
ually the only users of this ferry, ana
he elieVcd they ought to control it so
that they might draw the profits for
Improvement of the island where they
live.
Rep. O'Connell declared politics to
have controlled the appointment of
former ferrymen and said that the
people throughout Old Town and that
section would be better satisfied if the
Indians We're given full control
Letters were read from \. S. Craw-
ford, Jr., son Of the present ferryman
declaring the Indians to be incompe-
tent and steadily deteriorating that
they are heavy drinkers of intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS, and consequently would be
dangerous pilots.
George w. Heselton of Gardiner APP
peared before the committee to favor
