high fever and ordered his removal to the
Gray hospital. There it was found that
his temperature was over 104. peculiar

Correspondence Associated Press
Viadivostock June 25.-Twenty
thousand American freight. cars and
400 American locomotives are due
here from the United States within
the next two months to relieve the
congestion IF supplies destined for
the Russian armies at the front. The
army corps on the German Austria n
battle line need guns. rifles and am
munition: Nladivostok will supply
them. They need armored cars
many hundreds of them. and Nladivo-
stok will give them these. They need
dynamite: they need pig lead and
pig copper: they need cotton to lie
made into clothing; they need food
and Nladivostok hopes to see to it
that they get it all.
Munitions Arriving
Guns, rifles and ammunition are
arriving from Japan and the United
States by the steamer load. The ar
mored motor cars are coming by the
hundreds from the United States,
mostly by way of Seattle. AS for the
cotton, it is coming out from New
York by way of Panama in such
vast quantities that. more than any
thing else, it has caused this terrific
congestion of supplies which has
forced Russia to place rush orders
for locomotives and cars to get them
on to the front. 1t is piled high on

wate,xille,s Automobile.

That Waterville peopisare we'll sup
piled with automobiles is shown by a
visit TO the collectors Office and look
at his books. The report shows that on
the first Of last April the assessors
found in the city Us automobiles ex-
elusive of tho4A owned by garages. The
total valuationaf all machines includ-
ing those owned;by garages was $780,
100, and at the tax rate Of % mills the
owners will contribute to the city the
sum Of $2440.30. The valuations placed
upon the machines run from $500 down
to 500, the average being from $500 to
500. When it is considered that the
larger Of these machines pay a tax to
the city Of about the same amount as
the owner Of small house or Of the
average small farm, the revenue from
them is seen to be great. In addition to
this the owner pays another tax to
the State in the form Of a license, and
yet another for his drivers license, the
proceeds Of the last two being used ex-
clusively upon the roads, where they
are a benefit to everyone. It appears to
the outsider that the machines are q
real benefit to the State and the city.
Most Of the people who own cars have
bought them with money which was
put away in such a manner that the
State or city got no revenue from it
and the machine is like the farmers

owns one has got to pay the tax ON it.
In addition to this waterville has sew
eral garages which have costly build
ings and machinery on which taxes are
paid and which give employment at
good wages to about so men.

LOCKWOODS WINNERS IN
CLOSE BASEBALL GAME

The best game yet played was con-
tested in the Twilight League series
Wednesday evening, the Lockwoods
winning from the Central Maine Power
Co. team by score of to 5. Both
teams played first class baseball, and
were in the game every minute. The
game was the longest yet played as
each team had men on the bases in
every inning and a hit or a wild throw
was liable to turn the scale up to the
very close of the contest. The boys of
the electric company were the first to
score. getting three runs across in the
second inning and having the bases full
when the final man was retired. The
Lockwood nine came back strong,
however, and not only got the three
runs back but added couple more for
good measure. Central Maine had a
couple of men on bases in the next in
ming but could not get them round
While Lockwood adde da couple more
on good hitting and, base running
Again in the fourth Central Maine
looked sure of scoring but were pre-
vented. TIL Lockwoods added one in
this inning on fluke home run, the
ball being lost in the grass. Central
Maine got two men on in the last in
ming but could not get them around.
The result OF the game puts the Main

wood and Central Maine tied for Sec
