There WAS meeting of the bust
ness men of Kuna Wednesday
evening. The object was to talk
over the feasibility of organizing
cooperative creamery in Kuna.
The immense amount of cream
that is shipped from here to Port
land every week makes possible an
opportunity for creamery -

MAY BE LAST MELON CARGO.
Schooner Reach, With 5000 Aboard
Probably Closes Season.

What is thought to be the last YES
sci to reach here this season with water
melons, the schooner Karl w. Reach.
arrived at the oyster wharf yesterday
and berthed amid the vessels OF the
oyster fleet. She had aboard about
5000 melons from the Eastern shore
Of Chesapeake bay. and they are SELL
ing at Is cents for good stock, with
but light demand.
Since the opening of the watermelon
season in the early part of August
the docks at the wharf market have
been constantly filled with melon
laden craft. and at times there were
as many as twenty lying in port. In
the wharf market masters Office 1t is
estimated that since the opening of
the season about $4,000 melons have
been landed at the wharf and taken
to the uptown dealers. In the early
part of the season the demand was
excellent and the melons sold we'll at
good prices. Then came a slump in
the demand, and for two or three
weeks past the demand has been very
light and the fruit selling for almost
that was offered for 1t.
Recently several vessels that could
not sell out their cargoes left with
melons aboard, and on their way down
river dumped them overheard.
AS soon as the Reach disposes of
her cargo she will leave for bay
point to make ready to enter the
oyster trade.

Days of Fortresses Believed to
Have Passed With This New
and Powerful Arm.
EXISTENCE OF WEAPON
KEPT CLOSELY GUARDED
Only Limited Number Of High
German Military officials Had So
Much as Heard About It.

BERLIN, September tit is still toe
| early to base general predictions con-
corning war in the future upon the en-
gagements of the present great European
| struggle. One prediction, however. does
seem fairly justified already. 1t is that
the day of fortresses has passed. The
new AZ centimeter 16s-inch) siege gun
Of the German forces appears to have
demonstrated its ability to demolish the
strongest Notifications ever made. Pic
lures of the demolition at Liege bear
striking testimony to the power OF
this new arm. A single projectile de-
molished utterly walls of reinforced
cement and steel, ripped open steel
towers and piled the mass upon the
forts defenders.
This new siege gun has been the sur
prise of the war. It has been repeated
ly asserted that no nation has any mill
tary secrets that are not in possession OF
all other important nations, but events
have proved not only that the existence
Of this terrible weapon was not known
to foreign nations, but that only limit
ed number of high German army officials
themselves had so much as heard of it.
member of the reichstag, whose name
Is not given, Is quoted as follows in a
German paper:
Nature Of Gun Kept Secret.
"The fact that the German army pos
sessed such a gun was as much of a
surprise to the Germans as to foreigners.
for its construction and nature were kept
secret, as the situation demanded, SO that
even in the empire only a limited num-
Der knew about it. When the trials were
finished and all was ready to begin the
construction Of the new gun the problem
presented itself of making this wonder
full work Of war without attracting any
attention.
More than forty officers participated
in the preliminary discussion over the
paration Of the military budget for
the consideration of the budget COM
mission of the -eichstag. When the
subject of arms was reached the head
of this department requested that this
part Of the budget be not debated at
that time At the close of the session
he told me confidentially that a new
siege gun was In consideration. The
general staff. he said. had urgently
requested that not a word be said
about the matter in the budget COM
mission. Not even the officers, they
declared, knew of what was being done.
Other Guns in Arsenals.
"The request of the general staff was
observed. Then work on the new gun
began. A number of them are already
at the front and others are in the
arsenals. Six weeks ago, as a member
of the commission on arms. / was in
gunfactory, and was informed that
any number of tubes and projectiles
for the guns can be finished in very
brief time, not to mention the great
supply on hand. / asked whether these
guns wore themselves out quickly, and
W assured by an expert that there
were not enough forts in the world to
wear out a single gun"
