tations except from the mill he usually
dealt with.
j. H. Zerbey, chairman Of the white
paper committee of the National Edito-
rial Association. charged favoritism in
the sale Of paper and declared that pres
ent prices vary widely according to the
whim OF the manufacturer, the discrep-
ancy running from two to six cents 1.
pound. He added that, while some pub
fishers can hardly buy paper for cash
even at exorbitant rates, others have
made two and three year contracts at
favored terms. He thought 1t apparen,
that manufacturers had united to force
users to deal only with the mill they
were accustomed to patronizing. and that
any further increase beyond per cen,.
would force many Of the smaller papers
under 10000 circulation into bankruptcy.
Defends Manufacturers
In defence of the manufacturers Mr..
Dodge explained that 100000 worth OF
paper was held in stock by his company
as a necessary safeguard for contracts
in hand, but said the reserve had been
depleted from $1,000 tons to 1900 in or.
der to afford relief. and that all new or.
dsrs, including contracts for nearly 1oo..
900 tons from abroad. had been refused.
The great difficulty, he said, was that
very sudden and unexpected demand
increasing the countrys paper consump-
ton over 20 per cent in the past year,
had entirely outrun the total available
supply. Moreover. nearly every item Of
expense in manufacture had been in
creased, and the import Of timber bought
in Canada for manufacture here had
been forbidden by Canadian authorities
shortly after the American duty on Ca
madam paper was removed. No new
mills had been built In the past year, he
said, as it was impossible to make a fair
return on capital.

A very narrow escape from drowning
occurred at about 1870 o'clock Tuesday
forenoon when little Ella Peters, the
eight-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert Peters of Water street, fell into
the river from a small boat in which
were four other small children. The ac-
cident occurred at a point just below the
Hallowell Granite Cos. wharf and the
cries of a woman who lives nearby at
tracted the attention of the Heath fam
lily, who came to the assistance of the
children. The girl had gone under sew
eral times when William H. Heath arrtv-
ed on the scene and he quickly plunged
into the water and swan out to the spot
where the child was foundering about
in the water and succeeded in grasping
her dress Just as she was again going
under. The child was quickly brought
to the shore and was carried to her
home on Water street, where she was
taken care of and Tuesday afternoon
was reported as none the worse for her
experience. The children in the boat
we're all very young and had evidently
stolen the boat at the wharf and were
padding around, the boaS drifting down
river with the current to the place where
the child fell overheard. 1t was with
some difficulty that the children in the
boat we're brought ashore as they had
become so excited over the accident that
they could hardly use the paddles and
were jumping about SO that there was
some danger of the boat upsetting. but
finally they were rescued and sent scam
pering to their homes badly frightened
and given lesson that will long be re-
membered.
