A very few who are still living have been given hon. orable mention with the suggestion that in time to come they may pro- duce something which will abet the cause of American literature and a

With the suspension of local club interest, the attention of the club woman has not been concentrated on club affairs in general yet she is all ways attracted by the creditable work that is being done by any organiza- tion or it's members.

The critics who speak with author ity are all men which may in measure account for the fact that the best efforts of our women have been of no avail in establishing a national literature. This may seem unjust but we must consider a mans point of view.

ANOTHER SPECIAL. TOWN MEETING IS
CALLED FOR AUGUST SIXTH
Citizens Vote Not to Raise the Sum $4,000
For School Building

Not a large gathering of voters
were out Thursday to the special
town meeting which was called to
see what action the town would take
relative to increasing the appropria-
ton voted upon at previous session,
for building an addition to and reno
waiting the High School Building. The
additional sum asked for was $4,000,
and the citizens voted not to raise the
same.
Walter p Ordway of the building
committee stated to those present the
conditions as now existing. mention
ing Noyes G. Campbell as the lowest
contract bidders. Their offer named
the sum of $34,243.00, which it has
been decided could be cut down more
than a thousand dollars by eliminat-
ing certain features. Mr.. Ordway
mentioned several incidentals such as
sewer, electric fixtures, furniture,
architects bill electric call system,
gong, etc, which would increase the
cost to between six and seven thous-
and dollars.
Hon. S. W. Gould spoke against the
expenditure of so much money on pub
lie buildings. Mr.. Ordway gave
further explanations and C. j. Abbey,
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1914-07-30

also a member of the building COM
mittee and c. p. Merrill, told Of con-
ditions at Pennington, which were
proving most unsatisfactory, because
of sufficient money not being raised to
suitably complete an undertaking
similar to the one at present being
con sidered in Skowhegan.
Mr.. Gould made motion that the
town do not vote to raise $4,000 in
addition to the sum already appro-
priated," which was carried and then
remarks were made by L. l.. Walton,
Esq, T. B. Barrett Esq, c. A. Ross
r. l. Marston and y L. Shepley. The
result of these expressions and the
general sentiment finally terminated
in a motion to adjourn for two weeks
and a request that the building COM
mittee. composed of ". p Ordway
c. J. Abbey and Z. F Danforth reject
the present bids of the contractors
and advertise for new bids to be pre-
scented before the town at the next
meeting, it being the opinion of some
that the work of rebuilding and re-
pairing could be done more ecOnomi-
cally.

the session as moderator.

A PITCHERS BATTLE At
NORTH ANSON
North Arson Team Defeated Sk0whe-
gan Boys by a Score of to 0. Close
and Exciting

North Arson won a close and eXcit-
ing game from Skowhegan, l to o, in
eleven innings at North Arson, Sat
urday. 1t was generally acknowledge
ed to be the hardest fought game ever
played on the local grounds and one
of the best ever staged in the county.
Mcdonald of Hebron Academy the
man who helped win the State Prep
School Championship for his school
was in the box for North Arson and
Lewis twirled for SkoWhegan. AS
the score indicates, it was a pitchers
battle from start to finish with honors
about even. Inning after inning both
sides went out in one, two, three ord
er until it began to look like an extra
inning game and SO it proved to be.
But in the last half of the eleventh,
Jones got around to third through an
error and scored on a hit by second,
that SHOULD have been handled easily.
The presence of Wilkie Clark, a
former Skowhegan boy, now of Los
Angeles. Calf, considerably strength
ened Skowhegan's team and his catch
ing was one of the features of the
game He also turned in two hits, a
single and double. Skowhegan
out-hit North Arson but couldn't seem
to make their hits count, and on sew
eral occasions hits were cut off by
the snappy fielding of the up-river
boys On one of these occasions,
Hunter drove a fierce liner. about IF
teen feet from first base which was
labeled a sure hit, but Rogers, North
Ansons second baseman speared ii
with one hand and tossed him out 1t
was fine play and drew well merited
applause.
Outside of the pitching of Mcdonald
and Lewis, the features, besides those
mentioned were the fielding of Fortier,
the hitting of Reed and Dore for
SkoWhegan and the all round playing
OF Herd for North Arson.
