Cows infected with tuberculosis max

MOVE TO FORM A
COOPERATIVE ICE
co. IN WATERVILLE

The great advance in the price Of ice in
Waterville this year has caused move
ment for the formation OF a cooperative
ice company. number of the market
men and large consumers are understood
to be interested in the project and the
report has il that an ice house we'll
stocked with ice can be purchased at
reasonable figure. 1t has been the Gus
tom for great many years for the peo-
pie OF the city to get their ice for so
much month. the ice companies agree
ing to keep the refrigerators filled for
that sum. Last year without notice to
their customers some of the companies
raised the price by 8 cents a month. This
caused somewhat of a protest but the
price was even then not very high and
the people stood for it without a great
deal OF complaint. When the Sebasticook
Ice Co. purchased the business of the
Fort Halifax Co. early this spring, bring
ing the business practically into its
hands. the other company in the city
being only small one. it was under
stood that there was to be no great ad-
vance in the price. One of the first acts
of the consolidated company was to do
away with the monthly supply of ice
and announce that ice would be sold by
weight only and for cash only. No piece
of less than 10 cents in value would be
sold. While the new price was only
small advance over the old pound rates,
to regular customers of the company il
amounted to practically doubling the
cost. The smaller company promptly
followed the suit of the big fellow and in
this year when the ice was exceptionally
plentiful and easy to get the people of
Watessile are paying twice as much for
their ice as ever before. One thing can
be said in favor of the new management
it is courteous and obliging and the
drivers all are careful about the weight
and there can be no question but what
it is giving first class service, but the
people dislike very much to pay the
price, which makes the formation Of a
new company comparatively easy.

State Road in This Vicinity

1t is expected that the State road
work to be done by the city this year
will be on the strip leading towards
Sidney jus below the Silver street
bridge. This strip of road which was
built at the time the Union Gas and
Electric Co.'S. dam was put in, has
always been a bad mud hole in the
spring. Owing to the work that has
been done by Sidney and Augusta on
their roads leading up that side, the
little section is now the worst piece
Of road between this city and Angus
ia on the Sidney side and it is the
intention Of he present city govern
men to put it in first class shape.
This will enable people to travel from
Waterville to Augusta and back on
this road as early as on any roads in
this vicinity. Enough money is avail
able to do first clss piece of work
there and it is expected that construc-
ton will begin as soon as the Bur-
leigh and Gilman street job is COM
pleted.

ing Wateryille at about 9 O'Clock and

AN AUTO SHOW
Central Maine Fair Plans Include a
New Feature

The Central Maine Fair Association
is planning on having one of the best
automobile shows ever seen in Maine
in connection with the annual fair for
this year. The idea of showing cars
at the fair was originated by one Of
the local dealers two years ago and
last year number Of different makes
were shown. Applications for space
already in show that there will be a
greater display of machines this year
than last and it is the intention of the
fair management to provide a pro-
gram which will tend to draw people
interested in automobiles. Among the
things that are being considered is an
automobile parade in which it is hop
ed to interest the manufacturers of
cars which have large representa-
ton in this section of the State, to
the extent that they will provide suit
able prizes for the best decorated ma
chine Of their make and it Is the in
tention Of the fair management to
provide prizes for the best decorated
machine of any make, and it is pos
sible that other prizes will also be
offered. The arrangements are in the
hands Of Secretary Gilmore.

Two men at $50 Monday evening
were on the NJ. c. r. r. wharf east Of
the coal shed at Bath, the men being
Joseph Smith. formerly of Richmond
and Irving Hilton. Suddenly Smith
fell. as Hilton later stated to Capt
Wallace of the night police, frothine
at the mouth and rolled over the head
of the wharf and tumbled into the
river before his companion could pre-.
vent, and was drowned. Smith. the
victim of the accident. lived in a

been employed by ]. y. Winsl1sN Son
in the Winslow stove store 81 oad

80 and IS years of age who came here

1t was said by some acquainted with
the man, after the drowning, that
Smith was OCCASIONALLY subject to fits,
which would account for his frothing
at the mouth, as Hilton states he did
when he fell. Hilton said that ha
walked kind of staggering on the
wharf.

Perch Fishing

The law is of perch in many OF the
nearby ponds and local fishermen are
taking advantage OF the early fishing
and some good catches are already be-
ing reported. The spring fishing in
the ponds adjacent to WaterVille was
exceptionally good this year and the
way the perch fishing has started the
good fishing is TO continue all summer.
China and Pettees ponds are the fav-
critics and while the larger fish are
usually taken AT China, Pettees will
furnish more in quantity and it is in
some respects the better place TO get
&c although the cars to East Fassal-
boro furnish an easy means to get
