and little did she think when she went
TO the home of Miss Worthing in COM

thing of the sort was to take place,
they were simply to make short call.
The call was just long enough so that
the crowd arrived in time and that

The Kennebec drive, which should
have reached Augusta this week, is at
present hung up above the Kenncbec
dam and the date on which the first OF
the logs will be turned over the dam
is something of an uncertainty. The
boom at Five Mile Island was opened
last Monday, but owing to the work
which is in progress below the dam
in the way Of building the new double
track bridge for the Maine Central
Railroad 1t is thus far impossible to
turn any Of the logs over the dam.
The delay is due to the fact that the
false work of timber which is used in
placing the steel in position occupies
that part of the river near the east
shore where the logs run. 1t is expect
ed that with the progress which is be-
ing made in putting up the steel the
false work will be removed within a
few days, perhaps week. The Angus
Ia Lumber Co. has a crew of men at
work above the dam sorting the COM
