Followin 3 telegram from Judge +.
5. Lovett to Mr.. Calvin dated New
York, December 81:
THE Board Of Directors Of the I'm
ion Pacific at a special meeting today
authorized the payment Of one
months extra pay to all employees
without any discrimination. of Union
Pacific Railroad Co. Oregon Short
Line Railroad Co, and Oregon Wash
ington Railroad & Navigation Co. who
have been in the service since Janu-
airy ]. 1916. and whose compensation
does not exceed $500 per annum.
This is not Christmas present, but
is an extra payment for services made
because of the most exceptional con-
ditions which. while largely increas-
ing the earnings Of the Company, |
have also increased the cost OF liv- 4,
my to the point of hardship upon the /
lower paid employees of the Company"

To Sllas p. Maxim.
written for his seth birthday, Feb. p, lsl


We extend congratulation-
We, portion old and gray
OF that staunch "third generation"
Since our grandsire came this way.
On that hill near Streaked Mountain,
Where our grandsire used to dwell,
There we had our couein parties
That we all remember well.
Poets. teachers, doctors, preachers,
Meet and greet US face to face.
Soldiers, farmers, singers, charmers,
All are found within our race.
Noiseless guns and smokeless powder,
Sketches bright of foreign lands,
Paintings grand that rival Nature,
All the work Of kindred hands.
Some have passed beyond the river;
Some In sunny lands remain;
Some In far-on homes still linger,
And those memories still retain.
Stately homes In town and village,
Stores and fact0ries. churches tall,
School house, Workshop, veetry, saw mill
Business block and Masons' hall,
Built by him who called us hither.
Here to talk Of days Of yore,
Here to mingle songs and laughter,
Here to i've those scenes once more.
So our host was planning, building,
Summer, winter. spring and fall
Seventy years Of faithful labor,
Tasks too numerous to recall.
And our host Is still worker,
Doing jobs both fair and fine,
WELDING still the saw and hammer,
And to-day he's eighty mine.
Olden times with blessed memories
To our visions come and go,
Youths bright morning-hope and courag
Shone and gilded all below.
All 10 changed-but hope and courage
Still remain to bless our days;
Trials, failures, taught rs lessons;
So We walk In wisdom's ways.
Here We walt TIL called together
In the blessed by-snd.by,
When we have cousin party
In that mansion In the sky.'

Baslret Ban.

Norway high school basket ball team
played the last game on Ito schedule ct
the Opera House Thursday evening, hav.
ing % opponents the team from Bridg-
ton High School. Although Norway
won by . fair margin, they had no walk.
over, and the visitors played hard and
fast throughout the game. The final
score was Norway Al, Bridgton. %. One
of the Norway players was taken from
the floor because he persisted 10 dirty
playing that was entirely uncalled for,
az his opponent was playing . clean
game. The spectators showed that they
were disguised with bis work and ap-
plauded literally when be was forced
from the game.
While this season has not been a. sue
cessful a. some Of the past seasons. the
team has done very we'll. Starting under
the most discouraging conditions, with
not regular member Of last years team
left in the school, they have played
through very hard schedule Of games
and have made every opponent work
hard to defeat them. Edward Little
High of Auburn and Portland High are
the only two teams that have outclassed
them on their home floor.
In tho other game of the evening q
team composed of players from the shoe
shop defeated team from Frost's Cor
nsr by score of 20 to IA. Players of
both OF these teams had had little prac-
tIoe and were about all In when the
game ended.
The Savoy team from South Paris fail
ed to show up for the game against the
Nicotines.
The game at Savoy Theatre Saturday
evening was closely contested and very
interesting, the Savoy team winning In
the last minute of play. The finsl score
was Savoy Is, West Paris High School
IS. The West Paris boys were light but
made up for their lack of weight BY fast
floor work and better team play. They
proved great favorites with the crowd. It
has been strongly intimated that the
length of the last halt was stretched by
almost three minutes. II this is the
case there IL more glory for West Paris
In defeat than there is for the Savoy
team In victory.

Felix Powell Coming.

Twenty years ago youth from sunny
Italy passed through Ellis Island and
walked up the streets OF New York ex.
pecting to have bags of gold dropped
into bis hands, for such is the dream OF
the Immigrant. A sewer construction
gang brought him to Brunswick, Me-, a
few years later to be boss over other
Italians. He could not read English and
could speak 1t but little. Revival meet
iugs were being held at the Methodist
church under the evangelist, Rev. I. T.
johnson. The Protestant family with
whom he was boarding urged him to at
tend the meetings; though understand
ing but little of what the preacher said,
he was converted, having q vivid expe-
rience.
He was later urged to attend Kent's
Hill Seminary, working his way from
the A B C's to diploma in four years.
In his lecture "From the Ditch to the
Pulpit" he tells how he went to Drew's
Theological School, N. j., and how the
president tried to dissuade him from at
tempting the course because Of hts in
complete education and his financial
ability. Felix would not down and per-
sisted, graduating from the institution.
From one of the weakest and smallest
churches in the Maine Conference, where
he did marvellous work, he has come
to his present success. His ministry has
been attended by considerable evangelis-
tic results, so much 80 that last Decem.
Der he resigned his pastorate at South
Portland, and has devoted all his time
to evangelistic work with marked sue
cess. He is exceedingly original and in.
tensely dramatic in his preaching, and
brings large congregations to hear him.
The Methodist church of South Paris
has engaged him to lead In revival the
last two weeks in April, beginning the
conference Sunday, April 10, and con.
tinuing until May I'd. While the revival
meetings are to be in charge of the Meth.
odist church and all the meetings held
there, all the churches OF the community
will be invited to cooperate In the re-
vival effort.
With the papers now discussing the
coming Billy Sunday revival in Boston.
and the religious press full OF successful
revival work all over the country, all
will rejoice and watch with great inter-
est the anticipated campaign In South
parta

The Japanese Fair.

In spite of unfavorable weather condi-
tions at a time when they would do the
most harm, the Ladies' Social Union
of the Universalist church had success
full fair Tuesday and Wednesday. The
vestry where the sale was held was dec
Grated in Japanese style, with flags,
parasols, lanterns, pictures, etc. There
was the usual variety of things on sale,
fortune teller's booth, mysterious
chimney, from which packages were
produced, etc.
Tuesday evening during the sale
there was music by Shaw's Orchestra.
At 6:45 Wednesday evening the sup
per was served. The biggest snow
storm of the winter was in progress, and
doubtless reduced the attendance to not
over half what 1t would have been IL the
night had been q good one, so that 1t
was q rather small but sociable company,
but 1t was indeed larger than was to be
ex pected under such conditions.
Japanese costumes were worn by the
young ladies who waited on the tables.
The special feature OF the supper was
chop susy, q dish which many tasted for
the first time. While there was not .
unanimous opinion regarding It, most Of
the people not only liked 1t, but liked It
with enthusiasm.
Following the supper, an entertain
ment was given by the Chapman sisters
of Portland, under the direction of Miss
Eleanor McGregor, who was at the
piano. In only one way was this Q dis
appointment. Those who had seen the
two young ladies with Miss McGregor
during the supper and the social interval
bad noted their tender years, and ex-
pected to see q "kid show" Well,
there was just enough of the "kid" ele-
ment to give piquancy to the acts, but
the young ladies are entertainers OF an
ability muoh beyond their apparent
years. They are singers with excellent
voices, and one of them particularly
shows q considerable degree Of voice
culture, and their dancing Is very grace
full and refined. They gave an almost
surprisingly varied program, and the ap-
prevail of the audience was enthusiastic-
ally manifested.

Less than an hour and half suficed
for the business of the annual meet
ing OF South Paris Village Corporation
held in New Hall Tuesday evening, In.
GLIDING the inevitable talkfest. This
did not get started until the last article
in the warrant was reached, under which
no important action could be taken.
There were some over q hundred vot.
ers in attendance, the ballots in one case
numbering 102. The officers Of last year
were reelected, with the exception of L.
A. Brooks, one of the assessors, who
has moved outside the corporation linn
its, and William e. Kenney was chosen
to succeed him. There were no contests,
not over half dozen scattering votes be-
ing cast in opposition to any OF the can.
didates.
Neither was there any extended dis
cussion over any Of the appropriations.
There was q little informal criticism of
the price paid for street lights, and q
motion was made to pass over the article
to make an appropriation for care of the
clock in Deering Memorial Church, but
this was promptly defeated.
Temporary loans not exceeding $1,000
were authorized. The matter of en-
ployment of police was left in the bands
of the assessors. Bonds for the treas
urer and collector were authorized to be
paid for by the corporation, and there
was the usual formal vote to apply the
income of the water system to the pay
ment of interest and principal on water
loans.
Under the last article In the warrant,
N. D. Bolster called attention to that
part of the report of the water commits
sion which referred to the possible ac-
quirement by the corporation of the sew
eral aqueduct companies, and said he
thought it was q matter of which We
should be thinking. There was discus.
sion by q number of the citizens, with
the general opinion expressed that II
such companies we're acquired, the own
srs should be given fair compensation
for their property. j. 81. Bean said he
had no doubt that the company in which
be was interested would be willing to
transfer their property for fair COM
pensation, and w. j. Wheeler and James
S. Wright said that they should not be
willing to give up the aqueduct water
which they are now getting. 1t was
voted that the water commission be
committee to investigate the matter OF
the purchase of the aqueduct companies,
and report later.
A. F. Goldsmith of the assessors, who
had investigated the compressed air fire
alarm system at Pennington, made
brief report on 1t. The Pennington sys-
tenn has proved satisfactory, and the an
nual expense of running it has been only
six or eight dollars year. The Game
we'll Fire Alarm Co. has made an esti.
mate for this village Of something like
$500 for installing system, but they
charge seven dollars day for their
workmen, and by having the work done
by local labor 1t was thought that saw
ing of three or four hundred dollars
could be made.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Goldsmith's
report, the meeting adjourned.
