"Details of Manufacture.

How many Ashland people ever
gave a moments thought to what
the Ashland Ice & Storage Company's
business means to the city? Seldom
is it given a thought except as one
who has been accustomed to the
cheap ice garnered from the lakes
and rivers of the north central states
complains of the expense of ice here.
and terms the company robbers.
A Tidings representative CHANGED
to drop into the office of the plant
few days ago and C. w. Root, the
manager, showed him some idea OF
how the ice is manufactured and in
cidentally OF the amount turned out
and its cost. The ice is manufactured
on what is known as the direct ex-
pansion system, ammonia being the
agent used. AS Mr.. Root terms it.
the ammonia acts as a wheelbarrow;
takes a load of heat out from the
water or from the cooling room and
dumps it outside and comes back
for more. The ammonia, expanding
in coils surrounding the water vats
or coils in the refrigerating rooms.
rapidly absorbs the heat from the
surrounding water or atmosphere.
When condensed by pumps the heat
becomes active, the ammonia after
being condensed heating the pipes
through which it is pumped, instead
of cooling them, and having to be
run through huge coils of pipe upon
which water drips.
The company turns out two grades.
or rather styles, OF ice, one used for
refrigerating purposes and the other
for use in drinking water, etc. The
theory and belief is widespread that
white ice" is not as pure nor has it
as great refrigeratihg power as clear
ice, but such is not the case with
manufactured ice, Tne cause of the

been kept busy ever since greeting
his many Ashland friends. He re-
ports Mrs. Paulson well and says they
are getting to like Portland very

Thos. H. Simpson received a tele-
gram Monday night from the chief OF
police of Marshfield asking him if he
had lost any cutlery. He replied in
the affirmative and inquired If they
had secured any. The chief of Marsh
field reported two hoboes arrested
there who had in their possession 26
or 81 knives bearing Mr.. Simpsons
brand. The officers there were no
titled by Chief Porter to hold the men
and the local police sent Constable
A. L. Irwin over after them. He left
Tuesday evening and is expected to-
night or tomorrow with them. 1t is
not known whether or not any OF the

There was nothing slow about Pas-
tor Gillespie's lecture here yesterday.
He held his audience entranced while
he carefully opened up the Scriptures
on the subject, Victory Der the
Grave" He appealed only to the
Bible for support and his points were
well made and clearly and conclu-
sively proven. We give brief report
of his sermon for the benefit OF our
readers:
Life on the Ebb.
We have reached the position
which we now occupy by means of the
many victories we have won along
the pathway of our experiences. All
mankind has advanced by overcom-
ing difficulties, and each victory pre-
pares the way for the succeeding one.
Among our many achievements, how
ever. there is one great and sad thing
lacking-we have failed to gain any
victory Ger the grave.
Mans greatest enemy is death. In.
stead of man conquering death, death
has been conquering man. Man once
had perfect life, and no such thing
as death existed. When man dis
obeyed, he became amenable to the
death penalty, and since then death
has gradually been gaining the as
cendancy. Before the flood the aver
age man lived about 700 years before
he became the complete victim of
death; Immediately after the flood
the average fell down to 120 years,
whereas now the average length OF
life is little above 80 years. Even
the proverbial three score and ten
years is already thing of the past
II something is not done soon, what
may we expect FOR our race in the
course of a few centuries? Thank
God, the Bible points out relief, and
assures us that it will come before
it is too late!
Our Only Hope.
Like so many tributaries flowing
into one great rier to swell its vol
ume and ultimately to be merged into
the great gulf below, so, century al
ter century. have the lives OF mer
flowed into the one great river o.

Shows Eject Of Cultivation

Dr. w. NJ. Pulsfer, who like many
others at the present time takes a
good deal of interest in agriculture.
though not in position to engage in
1t, has noted the effect of cultivatie II
on the apple trees in the orchard of
John LOOMS. Mr.. LOOMS orchard
is in plain view from the Canaan road,
looking northward at the corners
about four miles from Skowhegan. 1t
is one of few orchards fifteen or TWEEN
ty years OF age, which is set out in
absolutely straight rows. In a part
of the orchard the land has been
plowed this year, and the deeper green
of the leaves on the trees In this Guilt
waited portion and their general APP
pearance of thrift is very marked.
While the apple crop is light in this
orchard, as in most of the orchards In
this vicinity, the trees In this cultiyat-
ed area show much better crop than
the others.

WinslOw Girl Fatally Burned

Bertha E. Saunders, the 10-year-old
daughter of Mrs. J. Michaud, while at
tempting to build fire with .kero-
sene at her home in Winslow, about
8 o'clock, Saturday morning, caused
an explosion that set fire to her
clothes and inflicted burns from which
she died, shortly after midnight. Sun
day. The little girl was alone in the
house at the time. and 1t Is supposed
that while she was trying to light a
fire in the kitchen stove she caused
the explosion that set fire to her
clothes. Enveloped In a mass of
flames she ran to the store of Dan
Mason, nearby. With the assistance
of Mrs. Phebe Marcoux, who heard
the screams of the child, she extin-
guished the flames with water, but
not before the little girl had sustained
terrible burns.

The Maine Forestry Camp

The Maine forestry camp, which Is
being conducted for the first time this
season under the auspices of the State
forestry department and under the su
pervision of John M Briscoe, pro-
fessor of forestry at the University of

be busily engaged In gaining work.
ing knowledge of methods of timber
estimating and of the fundamentals Of
forestry, as the science Is understood
today. The school is intended, pri-
marily, for owners OF small tracts Of
timberlands, and for those who are
employed as cruisers by numbering
companies. The course Is an ele-
mentary one but much practical
knowledge of value to the lumberman
Ia impaired, even In the three weeks
which has been assigned to the work
this year. The school bids fair to
be 80 successful, that the time will be
extended next season. Ten students
are In camp now and number more
are expected to arrive next week.
Those here at present are: W. R.
Pease, Portland; Earl X. Adams, Wa
terville; William f. Dunbar, North
Castine; F. ]. r. Tabor. East Machi-
as; d. C. York, Rumford Falls. and
Emerson Eaton. Princeton. The camp
Is attractiyely located on the shore
of Big Musquash Lake. 1t has an ex-
cellent equipment of tents and every
thing needed, all of which Is furnish
ed by the State. The camp Is open
to anyone who wishes to attend and
there is no other expense than that Of
maintenance. 1t isn't all work,
either, and the students are finding
much enjoyment in fishing and in
their practical field work over the pic
turesque country thereabouts. Banjos
and mandolins serve to make the eve
nings pass pleasantly about the camp
