weather overspreads the Northwest and
extended into the Plains region at the
end, and at the same time storm of
considerable extent had moved from
the Southwest TO the Lake region.

been little change and the harbors re-
main closed.

in the upper Connecticut Valley
Albany, n. Y. Feb. 23-The snow
ranges in the Hudson Valley from a
trace at Albany to 10 inches al Corinth

DAM
AGES EAST BREAK
WATER At COLON

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Panama, Feb. 13.-The recent norther
that swept the Atlantic coast Of the
lsthmus near Colon and wrecked a
large section of the east breakwater,
under construction, probably will cost
the Panama Canal more than $3.50. 900
and delay the completion of this work
about months. A preliminary survey
OF the work has been made 10 ascer-
tain the extent of the damage with a
view TO Immediately beginning recon-
struction.
The storm is declared the most Sc
we're that has visited Colon since 1906.
Much damage was done. About 400
feet of the shore end Of the trestle
work of the east breakwater was torn
out. A train Of q cars with LidgeI-
wood unloader was swept away. Two of
the pile-drivers at work on the outer
end also We're lost.
Wreckage was scattered along the
entire waterfront of the city Some Of
this will be salvaged but the majority
probably will be total loss. A section
Of the new Cristobal mole which pro-
tects Pier No. Z, under construction
also was swept away.
The S., 600, 900 west breakwater. the
longest in the world, was NOT damaged
and furnished adequate protection 10
the shipping in the harbor.

Green Mountain Pomona,

With 200 Patrons Of Husbandrv i'm at
tendance. an excellent program was car
re1 out at Hancock, SATURDAY when
Green Mountain Pomona Grange met
with Pamela Grange making the meet
ing one OF the most successful in recent
years. The session opened with a good
ADDRESS of welcome by Carl Stratton,
Master Of the Host Grange. A fitting
and dignlhed response was enthusiast
cally registered in behalf Of the visiting
Patrons by Mrs. Charles Shand Of Bar
Harbor. Julien Emery of Salisbury
Cove, one of the most substantial mem
bers Of the order delivered an address
upon The Middleman, a Grange View
Point, in which the subject was admir-
ally treated The afternoon session
opened with a selection by a Male Trio
composed OF Freddie Lounder, Galen
Young and Rufus Young The singing
made great hit A remarkable feature
of this trio was the appearance o. Mr.
Rufus Young. 81 years Of age, Yet retains
an excellent clear bass voice OF much
volume. Prof. ]. s. Stevens OF the Uni
yersity Of Maine spoke interestingly I'D
on the Aims and Ideals of American Ed
ucation This was one of the best adj
dresses heard before the Pomona fo,
some time and marked Prof Stevens
first appearance in this section. The
trio sang again. Miss Marie H Gurdy.
state leader and organizer of Girls
Clubs spoke interestingly of her work.
Following her address Miss Gurdy with
about a dozen girls and as many mothers
and interested citizens OF Hancock ad-
journed TO the school house whera a

carry a slight over draw. In this de-
partment II is 5000 and is due to the
extensive repairs that have been made
on the structure which is now in bet
ter condition than for many years.
In the poor department there is con-
siderable of a credit balance amount
ing to $7S9.91. Much of the credit for
the balance is due to the work Of The
Associated Charities and kindred or
CARNATIONS. The police department is
the second one with a slight balance
on the wrong side Of the ledger
amounting 10 s242s. The Board OF
Health has a balance Of S25050. The
election and registration account is
the black sheep of the municipal &C
counts, with an overdraft Of 1896. This
is due entirely to the special State
election held, a matter beyond munro
ipal control and not taken into &C
count when the appropriations were
made up.
The Public library has a balance OF
s44.5a and the park department a cred
il balance of s121.50 In the latter de-
partment the saving is due to the
fact that no custodian has been ap'
pointed and all work been done by the
day.
The contingent fund will be about
SIS. 900. All balances will be allowed
to remain on the accounts on Whcf
they were saved instead Of being
transferred to the contingent.
