LAUNDERING in the Maine Woods.

Having been at work as scaler for
the Skinner Lumber company for the
past two months at their lumber camps
in Maine, some of the facts connected
with the lumber industry as carried on
by them, may be of interest to Monitor
readers. The company has only run
three camps this cutting. At each of
the three camps there are three crews,
containing nine men and two horses to
each crew, or total of twenty seven
men and six horses to each of the
camps. Each camp cuts and yards four
to five thousand logs per week at
cost ranging from $500 to $3.50. Wages
are somewhat lower than in the Yer
mont towns but board is only As cents
per day. The camps this season have
cut about six million feet averaging
about rs logs to the thousand feet,
board measure. There is naturally
very wide difference in the cost of cut
ting and skidding logs, whether 1t is
done under the hardest conditions of
mountain roads or in the valleys, the
difference being that it costs nearly
twice as much for mountain cutting
and skidding as in the valleys below.
The logs are now all landed on the
river bank and the drive under favor
able conditions will last only about two
weeks. The past winter at these
camps has been the best in many years
for logging purposes, as there has been
no snow to shovel. only in the road,
and there has not been over 16 inches
depth in the woods, some seasons there
has been over four feet. The Skinner
company have about 20,0O0,0O0 feet
of spruce standing timber at this date
as estimated. and estimates have over
run about 80 per cent. The best cut
ting is still to come but hauling to the
river bank is of course increasing in
distance each season. The company S
box shop and dressing mill have run all
winter although for two months they
ran an eight-hour schedule, but are
now running full time. The company
have four dams on the river so that on
their spring drive they can get the
benefit of much stored water, and
making possible quick drives of their
logs. Tons of dynamite were used to
clear the river of rocks and all obstruc'
lions until it is now in perfect shape.
A power log hauler is used to draw
the lumber from the portable mill anc
when the road is in good condition this
steam hauler will handle nearly 100, OO(
feet of sawed timber per day. The
Pine Tree mill and camp were not il
operation the past season.

THE sEARsPORT CABBLE.

We should have acknowledged before re.
ceipt Of No. 3. Vol. l, of The Cable, bearing
date of August Z, 1915. Lieut. F. F. Black, the
editor. says:
This issue of The Cable is brought out To
commemorate the celebration of the one-hun.
dredth anniversary of the founding of the
First Congregational Church of Searsport
Au rust 7th and 9Th, the days of the celebra.
ton, were selected because it was considered
likely that there would be larger attendance
during the summer season than it would
be possible to obtain if the date conceded with
the actual one-hundredth birthday of the
Church, which occurs on October 4th.
Number !, Volume l, of The Cable appeared
February %, 1884. upon the occasion of the
annual Church Supper and Enter tainment, cir.
culation 700 copies. The Editorial Staff con-
sisted of DR.. Phineas P. Nichols and Joshua w
Black.
Number 2. Volume /, appeared on Tuesday
evening, January 20. 1895, at the annual Church
Supper and Entertainment of that year, under
the management of Joshua w. Black and
Charles E. Adams, circulation 500 copies
These gentlemen have all gone to their re.
ward; Mr. Adams passed away Oct. s, 1910; Dr.

The following item, copied from No. OF
The Cable. impresses US with the flight of
time.
ut is a singular coincidence that DR.. P. P.
Nichols. then popular young bachelor, who
was largely instrumental in issuing the first
number of the "Gabble." should have the pleas
ure of seeing the birth of his daughter, Lllias
Louine, recorded in the second issue of this
paper. The explanation is, eleven years have
interviewed between the issue of the first
and second numbers Of the paper"
We trust that gu. readers will overlook any
lmperfectlons they may notice in this number
1t has been very hurriedly prepared and no
proof reading was possible.
Should it prove acceptable, much of the
credit will be due to Mr.. Newell White of
Thorndike, formerly of Searsport) our printer
The thanks of The Cable are extended to
those who responded so generously in the pur-
chase of advertising space. Also to those
who assisted in the furnishing of matter for
its columns,
There are few copies remaining of the issue
OF Jan. 20, 1885, which may be obtained at the

"HELL ON THE WABASH"

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In the
issue of your paper of August 9Th an excerpt
from the ST. Louis Globe Democrat attracted
my attention. The Ito mel familiar heading,
Hell on the Wabash" brought wildly to mind
the occasion when l first heard the enlivening
strains produced by the skillful "fddling" Of
your old townsman, "Billy" Whidden.
1 think it was in 1856 went. with three or
four Belfast boys. to a Thanksgiving dance in
Liberty. where Billy and his fellow "artists"
furnished the music. While dancing cotillion
"Billy" struck up "Hell on the Wabash" and
the instantaneous effect was magical. Every
dancer.was imbued with the.spirit Of the music,
indicated by the accelerated motion of the feet
and the general hilarity of the entire assem-.
blage.
Anybody who has ever heard the lifting
cadence Of this almost intoxicating melody
will realize and appreciate the effect "whict
stirs fever in the blood Of age"
This Renaissance may not interest you
present readers, but it recalls the memory OF I
very pleasant occasion and the tune of "Hel
on the Wabash

steam escapes with a roar and rumble.
The carriages were waiting at the road,
but it was decided to send them ahead
again while we took walk through the
paths that boroer and connect the gey'
sers on the upper terraces. These we
found much more picturesque in their
settings among the trees. New Crater
geyser was especially interesting, and
we made quite stay near Echimes, hop
ing to see it in action, but the call of
lunch time was heard and we blazed
! way over warm streams, little lakes and
hot springs, to the waiting carriages
We drove through big meadow, named
Elk Park, and saw some game feeding
in the distance. but the camp in Gibbon
meadows was the most welcome sight,
and we were soon doing full justice to
the meal spread on the tables in the
shade of the trees After lunch the en-
ergetic made a climb of about mile
up the mountain side to see some
"paint pots'-a phenomenon similar to
the hot springs, except that the liquid
mud, instead of water, is colored-brown
or gray or yellow and bubbles up with
thick "plop! plop!" Others of the
party rested and removed little of the
surface dust in preparation for the after
noon drive, which proved to be the most
trying of the trip.
For some distance the road lay along
beside the Gibbon river, beautiful
stream, fed by the geysers. The ride
throughGibbon canyon was delightful and
the beautiful Gibbon falls came in for
their share of admiration. A doe in
the stream bed gazed at US in surprise
as we passed. The dust was deep, how
ever, as the excellent sprinkling system
active over most of the park was not in
operation here, and it was, for the most
part, a long, up hill pull. Leaving the
Gibbon river at it's junction with the
Firehole river, near the road leading to
the Western Park entrance in Yellow
stone, for three or four miles along the
valley of the Firehole the route was
over succession of pine clad terraces,
where, by way of welcome change, all
the dead and down timber has been clear
ed away by the government.
The cascades of the Firehole deserve
more than passing mention, and are
Beautiful from many points of view. The
camp, near the banks of the river, which
had been planned on, we found occupied
by the Old Faithful Camping Company,
and we moved on, past ''swattie sta
ton" and to the banks of Sentinel creek
where the tents were being pitched
against background of tall pines. In
vestigation soon proved that the creek
water was warm-and then and there
wading parties sailed forth, while sew

the dirt and dust from their heads by a
thorough shampoo. The tables were set
in the open, this time, and supper en-
joyed on the bands of the creek.

Farmers National Bank
Is Making improvements.

While the interior of its old home
is being remodeled and enlarged, the
working force of the Farmers Nation
al Bank is now occupying a temporary
banking room, erected during the past
week or two on the lot adjoining the
bank and the Annapolis Savings In
stitution.
The removal to temporary quarters
was accomplished by the banking
force during the holiday period for
the Fourth Of July, the half day of
Saturday being completed in the old
quarters, and by the regular opening
hour on tuesday ssof this week the
whole force, with its desks and other
necessary furniture, including the iron
grille, having been moved.
The banking room in the old build
ing is to be enlarged by taking in q
part of the former cashier and presi.
dents quarters. while the old board
room on the second fioor.is to be done
away with and the ceiling raised.
This. with its new type of decoration
will make much brighter, as well ss
more imposing and lin everyway more
attractive room for the public. 1t will
also be much larger and more con
venient.
1t is estimated that the work of re.
decorating and remodelling will b.
completed within four months.
